Perhaps no disease with which young per-
son can be afflicted is so terrible and blight
ing in its nature as a n ervous disorder, which
gradually saps the strength of its victim
and haunts him or her day and night.
This was the melancholy prospect which
confronted Mr.. L. l.. Barbor's young daugh-
ter, of Edgerton, Kan. and the gratitude of
her parents when a complete and lasting
cure was brought about may be imagined.
Learning of the case, for it is one which
has created great deal of interest through
out the county journal reporter sought
Mr.. Barbor to get the full particulars in
the belief that much good could be done
other sufferers by the publication of the
facts of the case. The reporter found Mr..
Barbor in his shop busily engaged on a
piece of work. He at once narrated brief
ly the particulars of the cure which had
been effected in the case of his daughter.
The facts are set forth in the following
affidavit which Mr. Barbor voluntarily and
cheerful1y made:
L. L. Barbor being duly sworn. on oath
deposes and says:
During the spring of the current year
1898, my daughter BERTHE, aged 13 years,
became afflicted with a nervous disease
which grew upon her to such an extent
that it seriously interfered with her stud
les, and aroused the gravest fears that it
would develop in St. Vitus' dance. Ny
daughter became so nervous that she would
drop her knife and fork while eating, and
would at times be seized with nervous
twitchings which excited the alarm of my
self and WIFE About this time my Mife
read in a newspaper of a wonderful cure of
the same disease effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. So strongly
was impressed with the facts set forth in
the testimonial that L wrote to ascertain
the authenticity of the case. Receiving a
reply which completely satisfied me, 1 sent
for box of the pills.
From the very first dose a marked i'm
provement in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and Excess
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de-
creased to an alarming extent. After a
careful and thorugh trial of the pills, she
not only began to grow less nervous but also
began to gain flesh.
1t is needless to say that I was both sur
prised. and delighted with the wonderf I'll
change brought about by the first box of
the pills. She is new girl, and all the
symptoms of her disease have disappear ed
