APOSTMASTER'SW WIFE
A LEEDS WOMAN WHO ASTON.
ISHED HER FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS.

a bright little woman, rosy and fresh
from her household duties, dropped into a
chair before the writer and talked with
enthusiasm shining in her swapping black
eyes.
The people in the pretty village of
Leeds Center, Me, have watched with
some interest the restoration to complete
health of Mrs. w. l.. Francis, wife of the
postmaster So general were the COM
mentS on this interesting case that the
writer who visited Mrs. Francis and
learned from her that the statements re-
gardirg her troubles and her subsequent
eXtrication therefrom are entirely true.
That others may be benefited by her
experience, Mrs. Francis has consented
to allow her story to appear in print.
IF there is anything on earth l dread
more than another" she said, cit is to see
my name IN the papers But in this case
l conquer my repugnance and give pub
Hcly the same credit to the savior of my
lite as l would to one who had dragged
me from a death beneath the waves. In
fact, | have eXtolled my preserver SO
enthusiastically and unreservedly; have
sought out sufferers and recommended the
remedy to so many friends and ac-
quaintances that already my neighbors
jocularly call me, Pink Pills Francis
But really, my recovery is something that
L consider wonderful. | know that there
are SO many testimonials of medicine III
the papers, nowadays that people do not
pay as much heed as formerly, but l do
wish folks who are suffering would re-
member that what | say comes right from
the heart of a woman who feels that she
had new lease of happy life given to her.
Eleven years ago | was afflicted with
nervous prostratiOn. My existence until
two years ago was one of dragging mis-
cry. Anyone in the village will tell you
of my condition. My blood seemed eX-
hausted from my veins and month after
month I grew weaker. l was able to
undertake only the lightest household
work, and even then | could perform it
only by slow and careful movements.
During all these sorry months and years
] was under the care of this doctor and
that, but their medicines helped me only
systematically, and then l fell into re-
lapSeS more proStra ting than ever.
In the night l used to be awakened
by the most eXcruciating pains in my
heart and side, and was obliged to use
pellets of powerful medicine that the doc
tor gave me for relief in such attacks
At last my condition became so grave that

up stairs. you notice. over my husbands
store and in descending the stairway
frequently was obliged TO sort of fall and
slide over the steps in order to descend,
such was the strain on my system re-
sulting from even this slight eXertion. Oc-
casionally | visited the neighbors, but
was obliged to sit and rest to recover
breath while ascending any elevation. In
short. it did not seem that | could live

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and although my faith in remedies was
weak by that time. | sent for a box and
tried them. That was two years ago.

half. Why, even the first box of pills
helped me. [ can walk miles now; can do
my work easily; have gained in weight
constantly, and you would scarcely be-
lieve it. but n little while ago l was ex-
amined for endowment life insurance and
was accepted unhesitatingly after q care

DO you wonder that I'm shouting
Pink Pills all through our village? l
haven't taken any Of the remedy for
some months, for it has completely built
me up. but at the first sign of trouble
know to what refuge to fee.
Last year my aunt, Mrs. NJ. a. Bios
som, of Dixfeld, p O., was here visiting
me. She was suffering from lack of vi
tally and heart trouble, but she was
skeptical about my remedy that | was
so enthusia stically advocating. At last
however, she tried it and carried some
home with her when she went A little
while ago | received a letter from her
and in it said, i am cured, thanks to God
and Pink Pills She also wrote that her
husband had been Frustrated, but had
been restored by the remedy.
1--WE feel up this way that such a SOver-
eign cure cannot be too widely known.
That is the only reason why l allow my
name to be used IN this connection. L
know also that by personally recommend
ing them l have helped many of my
friends back to health, for | never let an
opportunity pass when a word of counsel
may direct some one.
One Of the persons to whom Mrs. Fran
els recommended Pink Pills is Station
Agent c. H. Foster, of Leeds Center, and
the reporter found him patrolling the plat
form awaiting the arrival of the morning
train. Mr.. Foster who is one of the most
trustworthy, capable and energetic men
in the employ Of the Maine Central r. r.,
appeared in usual good health and spirits,
and we made inquiry as to the cause.

II can now walk without the fatigue I
once experienced, my heart affection ap-
pears to be relieved, and I have joined
the Pink Pills Band in our community"
Mr.. Foster commenced taking the pills
at a time when he was completely pros
trated, after he had suffered such a severe
attack of heart trouble that it was neces-
sary to carry him home from his Office
Since then he has faithfully adhered to
the remedy and is constantly improving
so much so as to excite his enthusiasm
and his gratitude.
