A bright little woman rosy and fresh from
her household duties, dropped into chair be-
fore the writer and talked with enthusiasm
shining in her swapping, black eyes. %
The people in the pretty village of Leeds
Center, Me-. have ewatched with some interest
the restore tion to complete health of Mrs w.
l.. Francis, wife of the postmaster. So general
were the comments on this interesting case
that the writer who visited Mrs. Francis and
learned from her that the statements regard
ing her troubles and her subsequent extrica-
ton therefrom are entirely true. All of her
neighbors know what has been 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 ap-
pear in print.
''If there is anything on earth dread more
than another she said sit is to see my name
in the papers. But in this case conquer my
repugnance and give publicly the same credit
to the savior OF my life as would to one who
had dragged me from Il death beneath the
waves. In fact, have eXtolled my preserver
so enthusiastically and unreservedly; have
sought out sufferers and recommended the
remedy to many friends and acquaintance
that already my neighbors jOcularly call me
Pink Pills Francis But really, my recovery
is something that l consider wonderful. /
know that there are so many tes timonials of
medicine in the papers nowadays that people
do not pay as much heed as formerly, but l do
wish folks who are suffering would rememb Der
that what say comes right from. the heart of
a woman who feels that she had new lease of
happy life given to her.
''Eleyen years ago 1 was afflicted with ner-
vous prostration@ My existence until two
years ago was one of dragging misery ANY
one in the village will tell you of my condi-
ton. My blood seemed exhausted from my
veins and month after month grew weaker

household work, and even then l could per-
form it 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 spasmodicaIIy,'
and then 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.

such attacks. Atlastmy condition: became so
grave that went out only .infrequently. We o.

ton. ::
'One day 1 saw an advertisement .of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and
that time, l sent for q box and tried them. %
That was two years ago. Now l call myself q
well woman. Isn't wonderful? %
'I haven't had one of those excruciating
pains in the heart for year and half. Why,
even the first box of pills helped me. lean

scarcely believe it, but little while ago l was
examined for endowment life insurance and
was accepted unhesitatingly after careful ex-

!. 'tDo you wonder. that I'm shouting Pink
Pills all through our village? 1 haven't taken
any of the remedy for some months, for it has
completely built me up but at the first sign of
trouble know to what refugeto fiee.. q"
Last year my aunt, Mrs. NJ. A. Blossom, of
Dixfield, p o., was here visiting me. She was
suffering from lack of vitality and heart
trouble. but she was skeptical about my rem
edy that was so enthusiastically advocating.
At last however, she tried 1T, and Carried
some home with her when she went. A little
while ago 1 received letter from her and in
it she said, 4 am cured, thanks to God and
Pink Pills. Shesalso wrote that her husband
had been prostrated but had been restored by
the remedy.
''We feel up this way that such a sovereign
cure cannot be too widely known. That is the
only reason why allow my name to be used
| in this connection. know also that by per-
sonally recommending them have helped
many of my friends back to health for never
let an opportunity pass when word of eoun-
sci may direct some one"
One of the persons to whom Mrs. Francis
recommended Pink Pills is Station Agent G.
H. Foster, of Leeds Center, and the reporter
found him patroll1ng the platform awaiting
the arrival of the morning train. Mr. Foster,
who is one of the most trustworthy, capable
and energetic men in the employ of the Maine
Central Railroad, appeared in unusually good
health and spirits, and we made inquiry as to
the cause.
"Do you know" replied he, ''I think I'VE
made & discovery, or at least Mrs. Francis has

time with heart trouble variously compli-

Mr.. Foster commenced taking the pills at a
time when he was completely prcstrated after
he had suffered such q severe attack of heart
trouble that 1T was necessary to carry him
home from his office. Since then he has faith

improving, so much so as to excite his enthu-
