Il don't look much like a living
skeleton now, do I? And yet two years
ago l weighed just seventy-two
pounds" said Mrs. J. w. Coffey, of 55
Warburton avenue, Yonkers, N. Y. to
reporter. And we agreed with her
for she certainly looked anything but
living skeleton. but rather bore the
appearance of a plump and attractive
lady In excellent health and spirits
Continuing she said;
Il had lost my appetite and was
wasting away in flesh, losing some fifty
pounds In few months. Doctors said
L was threatened with consumption, I
was under what was regarded as first
class medical treatment but 1t had ap
parently little or no effect, for I kept
getting worse until 1 was so weak that
! could not attend to my household
duties and could hardly walk. My
husband and everybody who saw me
thought surely that 1 would die and
there seemed no help for me.
Tonics and st1mulants and medicines

weight from " to 125 pounds, which is
my regular and normal weight"
Are you sure the cure is perma-

well, yes. My work is that Of a
trained nurse, which means, as you
probably know, irregular hours and at
times great exhaustion. During the two
years since my recovery / have had
many engagements, and through them
all have continued in good health. I
take pleasure in bearing testimony to
the remarkable power Of this great
medical discovery. 1 know Of other
cures effected by 1t. A friend of mine
suffered greatly at her monthly periods.
One box relieved, and three boxes cured
her. But 1 know of no case equal to
mine, for my situation was critical.
