Pennsylvantn Young Lazy
From, the Examiner, Lancaster, Pa.
The following account Of dressmaker's
remarkable experience was recently told
reporter by Miss Daisy M. Musselman,
charming young lady who resides with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Musselman,
at No. 16 North Christian Street. Lancaster,
Pa. Her case came under the notice Of re.
porter several days ago. is worth publishing.
Last fall Miss Musselman began to feel Ill.
As the days passed the decline In her health
became more apparent, she became very weak,
and at length feared total collapse Of her
system. Miss Musselman is q dressmaker. In
the early stages Of her illness she found that
she was unable to do the usual amount of sew
ing. As the allment became more pronounced,
she was at times too weak TO work at all, and
she had TO take involuntary holidays. She be-
came listless, took little interest in her sur
roundings, and finally was forced to give up
sewing altogether. The greatest change took
place in her physical appearance. The roses
in her cheeks faded away, q chalky paleness
supplanting them, her eyes lost their brilliancy
and she began to lose weight steadily.
Her symptoms gave her great alarm and
she consulted her family physician, one Of
the best of the medical fraternity in the city.
He prescribed all sorts Of medicines but his
patient did not improve. Her nervous system
seemed to be completely shattered. She could
not sleep at night because Of the nervousness,
and her appetite was affected. She dismissed
the attending physician and engaged another,
also of good standing ia his profession. He,
too did all that science and q long experience
could suggest, but like his predecessor failed
TO benefit Miss Musselman, Who in despair,
engaged the services of third physician. But
his treatment gave no better results than did
the others. Under the care ofthese physicians,
Miss Musselman would sometimes think she
was getting better but the relief was only
temporary, and, after brief respite, she
would have ali the old symptoms again,
generally in an aggravated form. Their
medicine would cause nausea. The disease
which baffled them tightened Its grip on her.
She had choking sensation in the throat,
frequently a dull pain in the head and O
stoppage of the nose.
Considerable money had been expended in
her futile efforts to be cured. The nervous
ness became so great that she determined tc
consult a specialist. This would necessitatt
q trip to neighboring city, involving the ex
penditure Of more money; but she felt tha
something must be done. 1t was just as she
had determined to visit the specialist that hel
mother suggested tha3 she try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills Through the newspapers she 10 hae &C
this wonderful medicine and felt that he
daughter ought to give 1t @ trial, il would
cost little and could do no harm. SO Mis-
Musselman purchased box of DR.. Viii
