WASHINGTON, D. C.
(From tie Washington Post.)
Eight years ago, when negro outragcs In
this city were moro frequent than now, there
occurred a case OF assault in broad daylight
on our streets, which, at the tim,, was noN3l
intho city press, but which has now been
forgotten. While your reporter was out at
tho Louise Home yesterday he had q con-
vers0tion with tho victim of that assault,
Mrs. Ann Atkinson. She is now S3 years
old. She repeated tho story to mo and
seemed overjoyel at her recovery:
II was born in King George County, Va.
on Il plantation about twenty miles from
Fredericksburg, in February, 1910. Eight
years ago I WAS attacked by Il negro who
mado a grab for q little satchel | was
carrying on my arn. In the struggle which
followed the man Knocked me- down AMI
dragged mo along the pavaments for q
distance OF 80 feet. After securing the
satchel he ran off an l was picked up and
carried 10 the Homo. An ugly cash over nv
left eye was scwed up AMI my left arm,
NhiCii WIS utSto' t3l WIS Sal. AS 4 result OF
my experience, congestion Of the brain anil
nervous prostitution followed. SO nervous
was l that | could not bear even the noises
OF the Home, and | was removed to a quiet
spot IN the country where | subsequently re-
gained q 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 tho
Home did all they could to relieve me.
took to sudden staggering as l walked, ac-
cOiGranled by severe pains in my limbs. In
addition to this had sinking spells with pal
pitation Of tho 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 pitiah!e condition. In the meantime
the physicians were treating me with power
III! neryc tones. About this time [ noticed
severe pains i'll my right arm, which ex-
tended from the shoulder to below the elbow
and then worked back again into the neck,
threatening my head. These [ r~econgnized
as rheumatism.
81 read in the Episcopal Recorder, a re-
hgious paper published in Philadelphia. of
the marvellous cure OF 4 person by Dir. Will
JAMS Pink Pills ior Pale People who had
my symptoms to a DOT. | sent for two boxes
which were furnished promptly. From the
start | began taking them according to di-
rections and almost Immediately expert
cnced relief. Before the bottom of the sec
ond box was reached l was almost entirely
cured. However, like Rory OMore, 1 be-
leVed in Old numbers and l sent Tor the
third box which cured me entirely. The
rheumatism disappeared and my right arm
was FREQ from pain while | could use it to
write at any or all times. The dizziness and
palpitation OF the heart were gone and l was
a wet! woman again. Since taking the last
hoy hayA NOT had IN 3phn nor :, main
freely assert that these wonderful Pink Pills
fol- Pale People, and nothing else, effected
this marvellous cure, and | am grateful for
the ProTidential manner by which my atten-
ton was directed towards them
