From the time when man first peo-
pied the earth, down TO the present
day, the mystery of pain has filed all
hearts with wonder and with terror.
Whist is its nature, what are its
causes, why is it permitted and what
its uses are in the great economy of
nature? All these questions men
have asked of themselves aud one
another, and sometimes they fancy
that they have found partial solutions
OF this great problem.
Many ways Of relieving physical
suffering have been devised, cunning
minds have assisted tender hearts in
bringing aid to the afflicted, all the
vast resources of natures labrstory
have been pressed into service, to the
end that tortured bodies might ha, G
surcesse from anguish, and know the
peace that only health and 8 clear
conscience can bring. And what
more natural than that these poor
victims of disease, thus relieved of un.
supportable suffering, should desire
to aid in the extension of the knowl-
edge OF the means whereby they have
been benefited?
Such one is Mrs Kittie Baker.
Of Lebanon, y. Y. Mrs. Baker, an
attractive woman between forty and
fifty years of age, tells q sad tale OF
agonizing pain endured through
weary months, and Of final relief and
cure through the use of that most
reliable remedy, Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills.
She wss i'll for more than q year.
suffering from disorder which re-
suited in the utter loss of the use of
one leg. She became entirely help !
less, int1ammatory rheu mstism set in, /
and for four months Mrs. Baker was
unable to put her foot TO the floor. 4
Her sufferings during this time were
so great that she tore her hair from /
her head, in moments of frantic !
agony, and ii became necessary 10 /
watch her most carefully, lest, when
beside herself with pain, she should .
carry out her expressed desire and put
an end 10 an existence which had
become one prolonged torture. Just
ST this juncture, when life had become
unendurable, when she had spent
nearly everything that she had upon
physicians and medicines, without
avail, the time seemed to have ar
rived when, as the poet says, "things
must either mend or endr No won
der that Mrs. Baker considers il an
of Providence in her be-
half just then, when despair had
taken possession OF naturally buoy
ant, hopeful nature, 8 friend should
have brought her box OF DR.. VIII
Jams Pink Pills and besought her to
~ them Without particle of faith
n the proposed remedy, yet as drown
ng men will, clutching st straws,
Mrs Baker took the first step in the
lark toward 8 renewed lease of life,
oward health aud happiness.
When she had taken the pills her !
lurse noticed change for the better |
q her, and in an incredibly short
pace of time she was able 10 stand
lpon her feet once more. Then to
Wait upon herself bit. Then 10 do a [
little work occasionally, and now in a
7ear's time, Mrs. Baker is q well and :
'rateful woman. She cannot too
heartily praise the bridge that carried y
Ter over, and never tires of recon-
nending Pink Pills 10 her invalid I
