Perhaps no disease with which a young
person can be afflicted is so terrible and
blighting in its nature as a nervous dis
order, 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. Barbors
young daughter of Edgerton, Kas., 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 throughout the
country, a 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 mar
rated briefly 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.. Barber
voluntarily and cheerfully made:
L. L. Barbor being duly sworn, on oath
deposes and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1898, my daughter BERTHE, aged thirteen
years, became afflicted with a nervous
disease which grew upon her to such an
extent that it seriously interfered with
her studies and aroused the gravest
fears that it would develop into St.
Vitus's dance. My 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 myself and
wife. About this time my wife read
in a newspaper Of wonderful cure OF
the same disease effected by DR.. Will
iams's Pink Pills for Pale People. SO
strongly was / impressed with the facts
set forth in the testimonial that / wrote
TO ascertain the authenticity of the case.
Receiving a reply which completely sat
isfed 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
excessively pale, as is common TO suf-
ferers from nervous diseases. and her
weight had decreased to an alarming ex-
tent After a careful and thorough 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
surprised and delighted with the Won
derful change brought about by the first
box of the pills. She is a new girl and
all the symptoms of her disease have dis
| appeared. DR.. Williams's Pink Pills have
certainly wrought wonderful and COM
plete cure and I can say nothing too
good in their favor. But now she is
away on visit, something she would
not thought Of being able 10 do three
months ago. From being shrinking.
morbid and timid she has become a
strong, healthy girl with no appearance
of ever having been afflicted with any
nervous troubles. The pills have done
wonders, and l take great pleasure in
recommending the pills to all who are
afflicted with similar disease
