The people in the pretty village of
Leeds Centre, Me-, have watched with
some interest the restoration to COM
! plete health of Mrs. w. L. Francis, wife
of the postmaster. So general were the
| comments on this interesting case that
| the writer who visited Mrs Francis and
! learned from her that the statements
regarding her troubles and her subse-
quent extrication therefrom are entirely
/ true All of her neighborS know what
has been the agency that has performed
this cure, but that others may be bene-
| fitted by her experience, Mrs. Francis

see my name in the papers. But in this
case conquer my repugnance and give

| dragged me from a death beneath the

| teservedly, have sought out sufferers
| and recommended the remedy to so

the heart of a woman who feels that
she had a new lease of happy life given
to her.
