The people In the pretty village of |
Leeds Centre, Me-, have watched with |
some interest the restoration to COM
plete 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
| regarding her troubles and her subse-
| Quent eXtrication therefrom are entirely
true. All of her neighbors know what
| has been the agency that has performed
this cure but that others may be bene-
| fitted by her experience. Mrs. Francis
| has consented to allow her story to APP

see my name In the papers. But In this
| case conquer my repugnance ana give
| publicly the same credit to the savior
Of my life as l would to one who had
| dragged me from death beneath the
waves. In fact, 1 have extolled my
preserver so enthusia stically and un-
reese rvedly, have sought out sufferers
and recommended the remedy to SO
many friends and acquaintances that
already my neigl bors jocularly call me,
Pink Pills Francis But really. my re-
covery is something that l consider
wonderful. l know that there are so
papers nowadays that people do not pay
as much heed as formerly but do wish
folks who are suffering would remem-
Der that what I say comes right from
the heart of woman who feels that
she had a new lease Of happy life given
to her.
Eleven years ago I was afflicted with
nervous prostration. My existence until
two years ago was one OF dragging mis-

to undertake only the lightest household

only by slow and careful movements.
; During all these sorry months and
years I was under the care OF this doc

me only spasmodically, and then fell
t into relapses more prostrating than
: ever.
