Eight years ago, when negro outrages In
this city we're more frequent than now, there
occurred a case of assault in broad daylight
on cur streets, which, at the time, was noted
in the city press, but which has now been
forgotten. While your reporter was out at
the Louise Home yesterday he had a CON
versation with the victim of that assault,
Mrs. Ann Atkinson. She is now 50 years
old. She repeated the story to me and
seemed overjoyed at her recovery
81 was porn in King George County, Va,
en- a plantation about twenty miles from
Fredericksburg, in February, 1910. Eight
years ago I was attacked by a negro who
made a grab for a little satchel l was
carrying IN my arm. In the struggle which
followed the man knocked me down and
dragged me alone the pavements for a
distance of 80 feet. Alter securing the
satchel he ran off and / was picked up and
carried to the Home. An ugly cash over my
LETT eye was sewed up and my left arm.
which was dislocateJ, was set. As a result of
my experience. congestion of the brain and
nervous prostration followed. So nervous
was l that I could not bear even the noises
of the Home, and l was removed to a quiet
spot in the country where subsequently re-
gained a portion of my former health. The
shock to my nervous system, however, had
weakened my former excellent constitution.
and its effects began to tell upon me in my
daily life. The physicians attached to the
Home did all they could to relieve me. |

companied by severe pains in my limbs. In
addition to this I had sinking spells with pal
pitatiOn OF the heart and shOrtness OF the
breath, which not only alarmed me but caused
me much annoyance. Severe pains in my
back appeared, and altogether this old frame
was in a pitiable condition. In the meantime
the physicians were treating me with power
full nerve tonics. About this time I noticed
severe pains in my right arm, which ex-
tended from the shoulder to below the elbow
and then worked back again into the neck.

as rheumatism.
II read in the Episcopal Recorder, a re-
ligious paper published in Philadelphia, of
the marvellous cure of a person by DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People who had
my symptoms to a dot. I sent for two boxes
which were furnished promptly. From the
start l began taking them according to di-
~rections and almost Immediately expert
enced relief. Before the bottom of the sec
ond box was reached I was almost entirely
| cured. However, like Rory O'More, I be-
| lieved in odd numbers and I sent for the
| third box which cured me entirely. The
rheumatism disappeared and my right arm
was free from pain while | could use it to
write at any or all times. The dizziness and
palpitation of the heart were gone and I was
IA we'll woman again. Since taking the last
box l have not had an ache nor a pain. [
freely assert that these wonderful Pink Pills
for Pale People, and nothing else, effected
| this marvellous cure, and I am grateful for
the Providential manner by which my atten-
ton was directed towards them"
