From the Journal Lea0iston, Ne.
9 bright little woman, rosy and fresh
from her household duties, dropped into a
chair before the writer and talked with
enthuslasm shining in her swapping,
black eyes.
The people in the pretty village of
Leeds centre, Me-, have watched with
some interest the restoration to COM
plete heelth of Mrs. W. l.. Francis, wife
VI the postmaster. So general wera the
COMMENTS on this Interesting case that
the writer who visited Mrs. Francis and
learned from her that the statements re-
&ard1ng her troubles and her subsequent
e4GflcaIioh therefrom are entirely true.
ALI OF her neIghbors know what has been
the agency that has performed this oure
but that Others may be benefited by her
experience, Mrs. Francis has consented to
allow her story to appear in print
Ii There Is anything OH earth I dread
moro than another" she said Git is to
see my name IN the papers. But in this
case conquer my repugnance and give
publicly the same credit to the saviour of
my life as L would to one who had
dragged me from a death beneath the
waves. In fact l have extolled nv pre-
server SO enthusiastically md unreseryed-
ly; have sought out sufferers and recon-
mended the remedy to SO many friends
and acquaintance that already my
neighbors jocuiarly call me, Pink Pills
Francis But really, my recovery is
| something that l consider wonderful,
| know that there are so many testimonials
| OF medicine in tina papers nowadays that
| people do not pay as much heed as form
| erly but / do wish folks who are
suffering would remember that what
say comes right from the heart of wom-
on who feels that she had new leass of
happy life given to her.

nervous prostration. My existence until
| two years ago was one of bragg ing mise
Ii ~. Any one in the village will tell you
of my condition. My blood seemed ex-
hausted from my veins and month after
month | grew weaker. I was able TO I'M
dertake only the lightest household work,
| and even then could perform 1T only
| by slow and careful movements. During
all these Eorry months and. years / was
| under the care Of this doctor and that,
but their medicines helped me only spas
medically, and then I fell into relapses
more Frustrating than ever.
I'm the night l used to be awakened
by the most egcruciating pains IN my
heart and side, and was obliged to use
pellets Of powerful medicine that the
doctor gave me for relief in such attacks
At last my condition became SO grave
that went out only infrequently. We
| live up stairs, you notice, over my hus-
bands store, and in descending the stair
way ] frequently was obliged to sort of
fall and slide over the steps in order to
descend, such was the strain on my sys-
tenn resulting from even this slight ex-
ertion. Occasionally l visited the neigh
bors, but | was Obliged to sit and rest to
recover breath while ascending any ele-
walton. In short, IL dill not seem that /
could live, such was my complete phys
| lcal prostratlOn.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
| People, and although my faith in rene-
dies was weak by that time I sent for
box and tried them. That was Two years
ago. Now cell myself well woman.
Isn't it wonderful?
II haven't had one of those excruciat-
| ing pains in the heart for q year and a
| half. Why, even the first boz of pills
| helped me. ! can walk miles now; can
| do my work easily; have gained in
| weight constantly, and you would scarce
| ly believe it, but a little while ago I was
examined for endowment life insuran CO
| and was accepted unhesitatingly after
careful examination by the physician.
''Do you wonder that I'm shouting
Pink Pills' all through our village? l
| haven't taken any of the remedy for
soma months for it has mpletely built
me up, but at the first sign Of trouble l
know to what refuge to flea.
''Last year my aunt, Mrs. NJ. A. Bios
som, of Dixfield, P. o., was here visiting
me. She was suffering from lack OF vi
tality and heart trouble, but she was
skeptical about my remedy that l was so
enthusiastically advocating. At last,
however, she tried it and carried some
home with her when she went. A little
while ago / received a letter from her
and Pink Pills. She also wrote that her
husband had been Frustrated, but had
been restored by the remedy.
a We feel up this way that such a sover-
| eign cure cannot be too widely known.
| That is the only reason why I allow my
name to be used In this connection. 1
| know also that by personally recommend
friends back to health, for I never let
an opportunity pass when a word of
| counsel may direct some 0ne.'
| One of the persons to whom Mrs. Fran
els recommended Pink Pills is station
agent, c. H. Foster, of leeds Centre,
and the reporter found him patrolling
the platform awaiting the arrival of the
morning train. Mr.. Foster, who is one
of the most trustworthy, capable and en-
ergetic men in the employ of the Maine
Central railroad, appeared in unusually
good health and spirits and we made
inquiry as to the cause.
EDO you know, "replied he, I think I've

health for q long time with heart
trouble variously complicated We have
been SO fully interested in Mrs. Francis
| wonderful recovery that I at once deter
mined to give the medicine recommended
thorough tost. &c. about two months
| ago, / bought the first box of Dr. Will
lialns' Pink Pills. Only two months,
please note, yet already am so much
| improved, so much better able to fulfill
my duties, SO sangulne that am on the
road to recovery, that l feel like new
man.
Il can now walk without the fatigue. T
once experienced, my heart affection ap-
pears to be relieved, and I have Joined
the Pink Pills Band in our communiuy.n
Mr.. Foster commenced taking the pills
at time when he was completely pros
trated, after he had suffered suoh a severe
attack of heart trouble that it was nee
essary to carry him home from his office.
Since then he has faithfully adhered to
the remedy and is constantly improving,
so much so as to excite his enthusiasm
and his gratitude.
Or. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give rev life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
