her household duties, dropped into chair
before the writer and talked with enthusiasm
shining IN her swapping. black eyes.
The people In the pretty village of Leeds

ments regarding her troubles and her subse-
quent extrication therefrom are entirely
true. All of her neighbors know what has
beec the agency that has performed this
cure, but 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 that dread
more than another" she said, 'it Is to see
my name in the papers. But in this case 1
conquer my repugnance and give publicly
the same credit to the savior Of my life as
would to one who had dragged me from a
death beneath the waves. In fact, have ex-
tolled my preserver so enthusiastically and
unreservedly; have sought out sufferers and
recommended tho remedy to so many friends

really, my recovery is something that l con-
slider wonderful. know that there are so
many testimonials of medicine In the papers

heed rs formerly, but l do wish folks who
are suffering would remember that what say
comes right from the heart OF woman who
feels that she had q new lease Of happy life
given to her.

household work, and even then could per-
form 1t only by slow and careful movements.
During all these sorry months and years l
was under the care Of this doctor and that,
but their medicines helped me only spasmod-
ically, and then 1 fell into relapseB more
prostrating than ever.
"In the night used to be awakened by
he most excruciating pains In my heart and
hde, and was obliged to use pellets of pow
srful medicine thut the doctor gave me for
relief In such attacks. At last my condition
became so grave that went out only Infre-
quently. We live upstairs, you notice, over
my husbands store and In descending the
stairway frequently was Obliged to sort Of
tall and slide over the steps in order to
descend, such was the strain on my system
resulting from even this slight exertion. Oc-
sasionally I visited the neighbors, but was
obliged TO sit and rest to recover breath
while ascending any elevation. In short. 1t
did not seem that could live, such was my
complete physical prostration.
zone day l saw an advertisement of DIR.

though my faith in remedies was weak by
that time, l sent for a box and tried them.

for l never let an opportunity pass when q
word OF counsel may direct some one"
One Of the persons to whom Mrs. Francis
recommended Pink Pills is Station Agent G.
II. Foster, of Leeds Centre, and the reporter

| usually good heath and spirits, and we made
| inquiry as to the cause.
"DO you know" replied he, "I think I've

Mr.. Foster commenced taking the pills at n
time when he was completely Frustrated, af-
| ter he had suffered such severe attack OF

him home from his office. Since then he has
faithfully adhered to the remedy and is con-
Btantly improving, so much so as to excite
his enthusiasm and his gratitude.
