From the Gasetts. Yonkers, ~ y.

sI don't look much like a living skeleton
now. do /? And yet two years ago weighed
inst seyenty-two pounds" said Mrs. J. w.
Coaey. of IS Wsrburton Avenue, Yonkers,
N. Y, to a reporter. And We agreed with
her for she certainly looked anything but a
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear
,nce of a plump and attractive lady in ex-
cellent health and spirits. Continuing she
said:
al had lost my appetite and was wasting
away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in q
few months. Doctors said was threatened
with consumption. l was under what was
regarded as frst-class medical treatment,
but il had apparently little or no effect, for
| kept getting worse until l was so weak
that could not attend TO my household
duties and could hardly walk. My husband
and everybody who saw me thought surely
that would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulants and medicines all
seemed useless, and grew worse and worse
until at last resolved to seek some new
remedy - one entirely out of the usual line
of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed TO take away what little relish
might perhaps otherwise have had for food.
A friend told me Of some wonderful cures
effected by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and bought box. The effect
from their use was noticeable from the first
end soon appeared almost miraculous, for il
seemed pretty nearly like the raising Of one
from the dead.

pills. and he was broad-mnded enough TO
advise me to continue what was evidently
doing me so much good. i took, in all, six
boxes. and increased in weight from ~ 10
l25 pounds, which is my regular and normal
weight"
"Are you sure the cure Is permanent"
"Well, yes. My work is that of trained
nurse, which means, rs you probably know,
irregular hours and at times great exhaus-
ton. During the two years since my re-
covery ] have had many engagements, and
through them all have continued in good
health. | take pleasure in bearing testi-
mony TO the remarkable power of this great
medical discovery. | know Of other cures
effected by it. A friend Of mine suffered
greatly at her monthly periods. One box
relieved and three boxes cured her. But |
know of no case equal 10 mine, for my stu
alton was critical, desperate and almost
hopeless"
Mrs. Coney has lived in Yonkers for six
teen years, and for twelve years has followed
the business of attending the sick, excepting
only the period Of her illness. She has
hundreds Of acquaintance and friends who
know her to be capable and Trustworthy.
Many of them know how very i'll she was
and how remarkable was her recovery. The
pills have large sale in Yonkers and West
chester County, which will be greatly in
for they seem to be one of the medical mar
wells Of the age.
