ayes, | ought to be happy in this little
paradise, and now l am, butthere werelong
years when 1 l.vcd in the shadow, not of tho
forcsttrccs tn at loom up SO grandly on our
hillside, but in the shadow of death. For
years l saw the sun go down behind the
western hills, and as l retired for the night
l added to the prayer which II has been the
custom of my dear husband and myself TO
utter together, the old, the sweet, the trust
full invocation of childhood, If l should die
before l wake, l pray the Lord my soul to
take never gazcdupon the orb asst sank
behind the hills without the haunting fear
that it was for the last time"
The speaker was Mrs. s.. S. Ballaine, the
wife of Rev. $. s. Ballaine, of HORNE sta
ton, jefferson County, Mo. Mrs. Ballaine
has for many years led the life of an invalid
to whom the dread ummon might come at
any moment, until a kind providence threw
in her way the remedy that has rostorcdhcr
health, her vigOr, one would almost say,
hcryouth. Her recovery is unsurpassed in
the history of medical science and should be
repeated in every paper and publication
In the land that others suffering with tho
same terrible n~flictton might profit by tho
experience Of Mrs. Ballaine and be saved.

"My story" said she, sis a simple one of
suffering and relief. l have had n disease of
the heart from which few ever recover, and
from which l never expected TO escape. 1t
was in 1861 that l was first made aware that
| had heart trouble, | had risen and lighted
a fire, feeling in normal health, when l sud
denly became unconscious. l knew no

ami that when first picked up no motion Of
the heart was pcrceptiblc. About six years
ago | was attacked with Il variety of aGlic-
tons, such as short breath, extreme weak
ness, fainting spells, and, most annoyingof
all, n burning, irritating ncttlc rash, that at
times rendered me almost frantic, and, as
YOU can readily understand, seriously aggra-
waited my heart troubles. l had settled
down TO contemplate the end, and such was
my suffering that, wicked as 1t was, l some
times prayed for it, when one day glancinB
over Il religious paper published. in Mon

case was much like mine, and who had been
benefited by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

in other rcDutablc papers, l resolved to try
them. 1t was a hcaven1sent resolution,
