MISS BRODEN'S ESCAPE.
ProYidentially Rescued from Hor-
ribIe Death.
Experience of Young Woman Placed In q
Dreadful and Helpless Position.

Miss Tessie NJ. Broden, a well known and
popular young lady residing near New
ark. n. j., has written letter to friend in
this city in which she gives the details OF a
narrow escape from death recently exper-
fenced by her. We are permitted to publish
the following extract from Miss Broden's let
ter:
1.-TWO wears ago found that [ was begin
| ming 10 be very nervous, and that the least
excitement would bring on a fit OF hysteria
from which it took TWO or three hours to re-
cover. My nerves got in such bad condition
that no longer had any control over my
moods or emotions. Some days would cry
for hours, and then would suddenly stop and
go into commissions of laughter.
Il was completely unstrung and was
unable TO perform even the commonest
duties about the house. | was tortured con-
tinually with neuralgia and dyspepsia and
nothing that | ate would remain on my
stomach. From a woman weighing $50
pounds was reduced to a skeleton, and was
so feeble that l found great difficulty in
dressing myself. / had long spells of de-
spondency and mental depression and would
often lock myself in my room 10 keep from
seeing people who came TO the house.
Il tried several physicians, but they did
not seem to be able to do anything to relieve
me tried all the nerve remedies and tonics
to be found in the drug stores, but they had
no apparent effect. l really thought my
days were numbered. In fact, made every
preparation for death, for 1 fully expected to
die within a short time.
''At last newspaper article prompted me
TO write to Dr. r. A. Walker, the specialist of
your city, describing my condition. He
answered promptly, and said that he could
cure me If would follow his directions to the
letter. l did so, and the result was simply
marvellous. Within asweek felt that, instead
fNf hairn 4 I
cured and enjoy life. My nervousness grew
less, the food that ate no longer distressed
me, and / began to gain in flesh. / am now
IN better health than ever before, both
mentally and physically and expect to live TO
a good age. l tell you all this that you may
know where TO obtain sure cure should you
ever be troubled with nervous disorders"
1t Is fact no longer questioned that the
method OF treatment pursued by DR.. r. A.
Walker in all diseases of the brain and nerv-
Gus system will cure when all other methods
fail, and will save life after hope is gone. 1t
is the result of twenty years study and inves-
tigation. and has been applied with the most
complete success in numerous cases that had
been pronounced absolutely incurable by ply
sicians in good standing. Many men are suf-
ferers from nervous exhaustion, nervous de-
bility, impaired memory low spirits, irritable
temper, and the thousand and one derange-
ments of mind and body resulting from I'M
natural and pernicious habits contracted in
tho ignorance OF youth, or from later excuses,
resulting in loss OF manly power, wrecked
constitutions, and not infrequently in soften
ing of the brain, epilepsy, paralysis, or even
insanity. To reach and reclaim such cases
is one Of DR.. Walkers aims and hundreds of
unfortunates have been restored to health
and happiness through his treatment
DR.. Walker may be consulted between the
hours Of 10 a N. and P. m. at his Office, 1411
Pennsylvania avenue, adjoining Willard 8
Hotel, or at other hours by special appoint
ment. He may also be consulted by letter by
parties residing outside Of the city
