The neighbors called her q walking corpse.
For fifteen years she had suffered from loss
of blood and dropsy. She had not the
strength to stand alone. She had spent
thousands of dollars with the doctors and
had been unable to find relief. Her case
was considered hopeless.
That is the experience of Mrs. c. Reed, a
well-known lady of this city.
A Nugget reporter called upon her at her
home last Tuesday. She was willing to be
interviewed, she said, if she could be the
means of pointing out to other unfortunates
the way to recovery and good health.

malady asserted itself" said Mrs. Reed.
"Since then, until within the last few
months, l never knew what it was to be well
for a single day. l could not sleep. My
appetite went away and | began to lose flesh.
