July, 1892, would have heard of a re.

shat time located in that little burg.
Mrs. j.. A.. ~Shankland, an old and
highly esteemed resident of that place,
was for many years a church society
leader and an energetic worker among
the inhabitants of her home city.
About the first week in August, 1892,
she was attacked with a serious malady
which, for more than a year, bore
every evidence of there being results
which would affect her future life.

afforded her q mean of enjoying the
privileges Of every well-to-dO person,
closed from sight of her sur

A daughter of the sufferer happened

OF the country surrounding the pa

interest and wonder throughout that
territory. A medicine known as DR..
Williams Pink Pills had effected the
cure. The thoughts and hopes that
her mother might obtain relief from
the medicine named inspired the
daughter with courage and excitement.
She concluded to investigate the mer-
it's OF the medicine. and wrote to the
publishers of the paper in which she
had found the article concerning the
wonderful cure. A reply to her letter
of in luiry contained "a splendid econ
mendatiOn Of the remedy. The next
step was to secure some of the pills.
Then came a art of the proceedings
which were to decide a further dispo-
sition of the matter. The dutiful
daughter had prepared a plan by
which she could induce her mother to
give the pills a trial. and which she at
once put into execution. "A neighbOr

would not she use them?" The pills
were taken, there We're more pur-

the sufferer. and every expectation OF
the anxious daughter was realized.
