A WOMAN'S STORY.
THE WONDERFUL NARRATIVE OF A
PATIENT SUFFERER.
How Young Woman Was Cured of
Terrible rIaIady When She Was
Near the Brink of the Grave,
Fl,o,C the Detroit S,m.)


The large pretentious brick resi-
dence at Sc Miami avenue, in this
CITY. is the home Of the heroine of
this interesting story. she IS Miss
Margaret Stenbaugh, and her inter-
esting experiences during the past
four years are published here for the
| first time.
Miss Stenbaugh is pretty girl OF
about 20 years and IS today the true
picture of the ideal. healthy, robust
and joyial American girl. She was
not always so, as is proven by the ac-
companying statement made by her.
-Four years ago" she said, Il was
sufferer in all that the term implies,
and never thought of being as healthy
as | am today. Why, at that time, L
was such a scrawny, puny little MD
get, pale and emaciated by an ailment
peculiar to us women, that my father
and mother gave me up to ole. Inc
local practitioner, whose name was
DR.. Glassford, Il was at that time Nv
ing at Scotland, Ont, said it was
only matter Of days when L would
be laid away in the churchyard. L
was so informed, and dis | was such
sufferer / cared nothing whatever
whether | lived or died: in fact, think
/ would have preferred the latter.
~ could not walk | became so
weak, and regularly every night my
father used to carry me up stairs TO
nv room. | can distinctly remember
my telling him that he wouldn't nave
to carry me about much longer, ana
how he said, while the tears gllStened
in his eyes, that he would be willing
to do it always, if he could only nave
me with him.
1T was evidently fOreOrdained that
I should not die at that particular
time. as miraculous transformation
in my condition was the talk OF the
neighbOrhood.
II read. or was told by somebody, of
the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and my father went
to Brantford, where he purchased
couple of boxes from W. Wallace. |
commenced taking them, ana L
thought for time that they did me
no good, as they made me sick at hrSC,
but very shortly l noticed a great
change. They began to act on my
trouble, and in the short space OF SIX
weeks | was able to walk. l contln-
ued taking the pills, and in six months
| was in the condition you see me
now. | fully believe that they alone
saved me from the grave, and you will
always find myself and balance OF our
family ready to talk about the good
DR.. Williams Pink Pills did for me.
"a short time ago | was feeling un-
well. Just a slight arrangement, ana

and commenced taking them. could
actually feel the good results after
three pills, and | will recommend
them to anybody who is afflicted as
was"

Druggists say that DIR. Williams,
Pink Pills have an enormous sale, and
| that from all quarters come IN glow
ing reports of the excellent results
following their use. An analysis
proves that they contain in a con-
densed form all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases, as locOmotor ataXia,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, ner-
vOus headache, the after effects OF la
grippe, palpitation Of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous pros
tration: all diseases resulting from
Initiated humors in the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erySipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, IT.
Irregularities, and all forms of weak
ness. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, OyerWOrk, or excuses of what
ever nature.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills were first
compounded as a preparation, and
used as such in general practice by an
eminent physician. They are now
manufactured by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady. n.
Y, and BrOckVille, Ontario, and are
sold in boxes never in loose form by
