The following communication is from one
of our correspondents, Mrs Carrie E..Martin,
a lady we'll known and highly respected and
who occupies position of the highest social
distinction in West Leyden, Mass. Her ex-
perience is of such nature, and its impor-
lance to many is so great and far-reaching,
that we give it to our readers in her own
words.
"Last summer / was all run down, had

and none days, faint spells, trembling feel
ings and was so weak could hardly walk
around the room. / continued to run down
in health and strength until feared utter

came good many times. 1 soon had to
give up work entirely; still his medicines
did me no good. l tried to ride out one
morning, but went only few rods and had
to come home. My husband then went to
church, leaving me with the hired help and
my children Such terrible day as l spent

get from the couch to the chair
"When my husband came in from church
told him I was worse and that / would die

take any more of the doctors medicine but

"He advised me to try it, and went i'm
mediately and got bottle, which began
to take. Up to this time we knew nothing
OF its value except as we had seen it
