lErom the Gate city, Keokuk, IolVa.)
Mrs Helen Meyers whose home is at s5l5
Vernon Avenue, Chicago, and whose visit to
Keokuk, Ia, will long be remembered, was
at one time afflicted with a nervous malady
which at times drove her nearly to distrac-
tion. "ThOse terrible headaches are a thing
of the past" she said the other day to a Gate
Ciigrepresentative, "and there is quite story
in connection with it too"
NV nervous system sustained a great shock
some fifteen years ago, brought on believe
through too much worrying over family mat
ters and then allowing my love for my books
to get the better of my discretion where my
health was concerned. Why, whenever my
