(Fi0m tae Kansas Citg No., JotTnal.l
The following possesses an interest to tho
journal and its readers, because the casa
is Of great value from medical point of view,
aud further because il is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
is that Of the daughter Of l.. l.. Barbor OF
Edgerton, Kan, who being duly sworn on
oath dep0ses and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1898, my daughter BERTHE, aged 10 years, be-
came afflicted with a nervous disease which
grew upon her 70 such an extent that il se-
riously interiered with her studies and
aroused the gravest fears that il would de-
velop into St. Nitus dance. Ny daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchngs
which excited the alarm Of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news.
paper of a wonderful cure Of the same disease
effected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. so strongly was / impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that 1
wrote to ascertain the authenticity Of the case.
Receiving reply which completely satisfied
me. / sent for box Of the pills.
From the very first dose a marked inn
provement in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and excess
sively pale, as is common 10 sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de-
creased TO an alarming extent. After
careful and thorough trial of the pills, she not
only began 20 grow less nervous but also be-
gan to gain flesh
1t is needless to say that was both sur
prised and delighted with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box Of the
pills. She is a new girl, and all the symp-
toms of her disease have disappeared. DR..
Wiiliams Pink Pills have certainly wrought
a wonderful and complete cure, and can
say nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on visit, something she
would not have thought of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become a strong,
healthy girl with no appearance of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou.

take great pleasure in recommending them
