YES, ought to be happy in this little
paradise, and now am, butthere werelcne
years when lived in the shadow, not of the

missile @ Dut IN the shadow Of death. For
years l saw the sun go down behind the
western hills, and as retired for the night
l added to the prayer, which it has been the
custom of my dear husband and myself to
utter together, the old, the sweet, the trust
ful invocation Of childhood, III I should die
before wake, / pray the Lord nv soul to

behind the hills without the haunting fear
that it was for the last time.n
The speaker was Mrs. s. s. Ballaine. the
wife OF Rev. s. s. Ballaine, Of HORNE Sa-
ton, Jefferson County, Mo. Mrs. Ballaine
has for many years led the life of an invalid
to whom the dread summons might come at
any moment, until kind providence threw
In her way the remedy that has restored her
health, her vigor, one would almost say,
neryouth. 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 the
same terrible afAiction might profit by the
experience OF Mrs. Ballaine and be saved.
A correspondent Of the Globe Democrat
determined to start the good work and
called at the Ballaine Home, believing that
the story would be Of far greater value and
interest If told in the lady's own words.

suffering and relief have had q disease of
the heart from which few ever recover, and
from which never expected to escape. It
was In 1854 that was first made aware that
had heart trouble. ! had risen and lighted
fire, feeling in norm al health, when I sud-
denly became unconscious, / knew no
more until recovered my senses in bed.
They told me that was black in the face,
and that when first picked up no motion of
the heart was perceptible. About six years
ago was attacked with variety of attic
tons, such as short breath, extreme weak
ness, fainting spells, and, most annoyingof
nil, a burning, irritating nettle rash, that at
times rendered me almost frantic, and, as
you can readily understand, seriously aggra-
waited my heart troubles. / had settled
down to contemplate the end, and such was
my suffering that, wicked as It was, / some
times prayed for 1t, when one day glancing
over religious paper published in Mon
treai. read the testimony of o lady whose
case was much like mine, and who had been
benefited by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. Having seen similar accounts
in other reputable papers, resolved to try
them. 1t was q heaven-sent resolution.
The first box had most miraculous effect.
The ncttle rash disappeared as il by mgaic,
and my trouble yielded to the medicine like
the snow yields to the spring time sun, and
/ feel better to-day than have for twenty
years. l can not say too much about my
condition. My blood is full and
rich, my appetite is good, my nerves are
steady, sleep soundly and wake up re-
freshed, / climb the hills of our farm with |

duties OF the farmers wife, and surely my
heart must be In normal. state when / an.
