the affairs OF her farm, which is as rich and
productive as the most ambitious could de-
sire.

afflicted with bleeding of the lungs forforty-
five years. During that time she was
great sufferer, she was weak, tired and run
down, and in consequence existence, even,
was burden. There was no pleasure in
life for her.

"When i began taking the pills my skin
