A Most Attractive New York Lady
Tells Her Remarkable Ex-

One would have to travel long dis
lance and search thoroughly to find
more bright, attractive and pleasing
little lady than Mrs. Cross, who resides
at No. 1926 West 23d street. New York.
She is the wife of Mr.. Clarence Cross,
who is an expert telegrapher, connected
with the Western Union company.
Seated i'll her parlor few evenings

TO New York and tried to be brave ami

that way. My husband said it seemed
to him that had every kind of disease

gushing medicines, and try some good
food-something that will build you up
and strengthen you?' l told her
that would be glad to do so,
but did not know what to take.
She kindly gave me bottle Of food
which she told NE had done great things
for some of her friends. And now comes
the surprising part of my story. While

day my appetite grew better. and soon
| began to relish other foods. Soon
afterwards, noticed that my flesh and
strength were increasing. and that my
complexion was getting better. Then
it seemed 10 me that l could not get
enough to eat. l ate heartily three
times aday- meat, eggs, and nourishing
food, and slept soundly every night.
