From the Free Press, StreGtor, III.
On splendid farm at Blackstone, in the
very heart of the great, rich aud prosperous
prairies of Northern Illinois, lives Mrs. j.
p. Hadley. She owns and personally directs
the affairs of her farm, which is as rich and
productive as the most ambitious could de-
sire.
She Is now siXty-fve years old and was
afflicted with bleeding of the lungs for forty
five years. During that time she was a
great sufferer, she was weak, tired and run
down, and in consequence existence, even,
was a burden. There was no pleasure In
life for her. #.}
During all these years." she said to the
writer, II had received treatment from
many very successful and eminent ply
sicians. They could do nothing for me. i
continued to grow worse, year by year, un-
til last spring when l was so bad that
could not even walk across my room, and
when coughed the blood often gushed
from my nose and mouth. At this time i
was receiving treatment from thelocal ply
sicians, and while they are men of more
than ordinary skill, l was constantly grow
Ing weaker and worse Under these circum-
stances became thoroughly discouraged
and disheartened.

could do no more for me, that could live
but a short time at the best and that i
should arrange my affairs with that fact In
view, that my death was only question of
avery short time. Under these very trying
and discouraging circumstances my atten-
ton was called to the advertisement of
Pink Pills for Pale People. decided to
try them. ] could not see that had any
thing to lose and everything was to be
gained. My physicians were doing me no

ping their treatment, so without saying any
thing to them about 1t, L began on March
%, 1885, to take Pink Pills for Pale People,
and have continued their use up to the
present time. In all have taken eleven
boxes. began to improve almost as soon
as began to take them and have gained
constantly until am now remarkably well
for one of my years. it has been more
than f0yty-fivo years since l was as am
now. l now fully realize that i have not
known whatit was to be really well. That
weak, tired, lauguid feeling which has been
the burden of my existence for so many
years and which has made any labor or even
life itself thing to be dreaded is gone. /
can now work about the house and assist
in the duties which fall to women on farms
and even enjoy the labor while thus en-
ployed. I can not help wondering how
ever endured my years Of torture, con-
slider myself fully an strong and healthy
now as women of my age usually are.
'When l began taking tho pills my skin
was dry, harsh aud dead. 1t has since
peeled off and Is fresh, soft and healthy
now. My hair which was almost white,
crisp and dead has regained it's vigor and
much of its color and is soft and pliable. IL
is In better condition than it has been for
years. My feet were badly swollen, the
skin on them was dry and cracked. They
gave me great trouble. Now that Is all
changed. The swelling has entirely disap-
peared and they are in a perfectly healthy
condition.
''Taking it all In ALL" she said, 81 think
my cure q most remarkable one and l am
more than willing that the world shall know
what Pink Pills for Pale People have done
for me, for it may prove blessing to other
sufferers. Yes, you may make any use you
like of my experience
