NEIGHBORS.

That She Has Been Accepted by Life
Insurance Company as a Good Risk.
FROM the journal. lewiston. me-.


Leeds Centre, Me-, have watched witt
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 thai
the writer who visited Mrs Francis anG
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
has consented to allow her story to ap-
pear In print.

case conquer my repugnance and give

dragged me from a death beneath the

preserver so enthusiastically and I'M
reservedly, have sought out sufferers
and recommended the remedy to so
many friends and acqualntances that
already my neighbors jOcularly call me,
Pink Pills Francis But really, my re-
covery is something that I consider
wonderful. 1 know that there are so
many testimonials Of medicine in the
papers nowadays that people do not pay
as much heed as formerly, but do wish
folks who are suffering would remem-

the heart of a woman who feels that
she had a 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-

of my condition. My blood seemed eX-
hausted from my veins ard month after

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 l was under the care of this doc
tor and that, but their medicines helped
me only spaSmodically, and then 1 fell
into relapseS more prostrating than
ever
''In the night 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
doctor gave me for relief in such at
tacks. AT last my condition became so
grave that went out only infrequent-

the stairway 1 frequently was obliged
to sort of fall and slide over the steps
In order to descend, such was the strain
on my system resulting from even this
slight eXertiOn. Occasionally l visited
the neighbors, but I was obliged to sit
and rest tQarecover breath while ascend

complete physical prostration.

Last year my aunt, Mrs. NJ. A. Bios
som, Of Dixfield, P. O., was here visit
ing me. She was suffering from lack
of vitality and heart trouble, but she
was skeptical about my remedy that
was so enthusiastically advocating. At
last, however she tried 1t and carried
some home with her when she went. A
little while ago I received a letter from
her and in It said, L am cured, thanks
to God and Pink Pills She also wrote
that her husband had been Frustrated
but had been restored by the remedy.
