Over in the town Of Wrentham, Mass,
everyone is agog with excitement A child
who had been physically deformcd for four
years, and who was the object Of the pity of
the entire town. has had her limbs straight
ened out, her head again made erect by the
strengthening Of her neck, and Is running
about town now with the freedom and aban-
don of any child.
Mary s. Fuller Is the name Of the little
cripple. Many of our readers will remcm-
Der her. She Is but child Of eight years,
and has spent the past four years in bed,
hopelessly crippled. Rheumatic fever four
years ago attacked the nerves and cords Of
her lower limbs and neck, so that the former
were drawn all out Of shape aud twisted and
bent backwards ia a pitiable manner; and
the cords of the latter were SO frightened on
one side as % draw her head down on her
shoulder. Her arms, too, were helpless, and
neighb0r's hearts bled at the little ones suf.
iering The progress Of the disease reduced
her TO skeleton, and the poor mother has
almost given her own life for that of the child,
In her untring watching at the little ones
bedside. -Four years Of watching four years
Of waiting and az last the child began 10

gathered strength and power. and to-day. as
stated above, she is running about the town

this end remedies are employed which assist
nature, supplying 70 the weakened parts the
chemical properties they need. For instance.
In the above case, DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People were used, aud effected the
cure easily and naturally.
The mother Of the child said "She had
been given up by four doctors. who were ccr-
