The true northerner., 1896-07-08
From the Gate city, Reokuk, Io,oa.


Mrs. Helen Meyers whose home is at 1918
Vernon Avenue Chicago. and whose visit to
keokuk will long be remembered was at one
time afflicted with nervous malady which
at times drove her nearly TO distraction.
Those terrible headaches are thing of the
past, " she said the other day TO a Gate City
representative, in the presence OF number
OF friends. And, continued Mrs. Meyers,
there Is quite story in connection with
il too indeed | consider il one of the most
miraculous cures of modern times.
My nervous system sustained great shock
some fifteen years ago brought on / believe
through too much worrying over family
matters and then allowing my love for my
books TO get the better of my discretion where
my health was concerned. Why, whenever
my affairs at home did not 90 along just as
| expected, | would invaribly become
prostrated from the excitement and | would
consider myself fortunate indeed ii the effects
of the attack would not remain for u week.
| was obliged to give up our pleasant home
not far from the Lake Shore drive, because
/ could not stand the noise in that locality.
! could find no place in the city which |
deemed suitable tsSne whose nervous system
was always on the point of explosion. To
add TO my misfortunes my complexion
underwent change and looked so yellow
fhd sallow that | was ashamed TO venture
from the house at all.
Madam, " said my doctor to me soon after
an unusually severe attack of the malady,
"unless you leave the city and seek some
place of quiet, you will never recover"
So concluded | would visit my uncle who
lives in Dallas County, Iowa. and whose
farm would surely be good place for one
in my pitiable condition.
" Now, for the strangest and most mirac-
ulous part of the story" continued Mrs.
Meyers who had aroused the curiosity of her
listeners, "My uncle used 10 live here in
Keokuk, you know and when he moved to
his Dallas County farm, he of course ordered
the Gate City sent TO his address. picked
up the paper one day and happened to come
across an interesting recital of the recovery
Of some woman in New York State who was
afflicted as | had been. This woman had
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. ! thought that If Pink Pills
cured that woman they might do the same
for me. began TO take the pills according
to directions and began TO feel better from
the start. My uncle told me two weeks after
l commenced taking Pink Pills that he
guessed he would not be afraid TO discharge
his old army musket now without warning
me beforehand, for he didn't think it would
affect me at all. | took several boxes of the
Pink Pills and then was ready TO go back
TO Chicago. My nervousness was gone and
my complexion was as fresh as that of any
sixteen -year-old girl in Iowa and Pink Pills
is what put the color in my cheeks. No
wonder am in such high spirits and feel
like prize fighter. And no wonder like
TO come TO Keokuk for if il had not been for
Pink Pills bought from keokuk firm
would not have been alive enow, Z" "laughingly
concluded the lady.
