One Of the most beautiful of natures
lovely spots is the varied township of Tall
madge in Summit County, Ohio. Here are
rolling, undulating hills and beautiful forest
scenery; hill, wood and meadow spread their
charming panorama before tho eyes of the
traveller and as he looks, he thinks, here is
Arcadia where one may live after natures
model in beautiful simplicity and revel in
health and happiness.
Yet, even here in this Eden, where fruit
md flowers and pastoral scenes wean the
heart from the city and its turmoil, insidious
disease steps in and destroys Paradise. II
was thus in q beautiful hillside home I; sur.
rounded by an orchard, with flower beds sur.
rounding 1t, the cozy white house looks like
the abode Of comfort. 1t is the home of f.
J. Vance, who cultivates small fruits in
summer and in winter plies the trade of
broom maker. Blest with a lovely wife,
darling child and pretty farm, an outsider
might look in vain for the thorn hidden
among the roses. But few years ago this
life became wretched when the father and
husband was afflicted with what appeared to
be an incurable malady. During the still,
small hours of night when sleep and rest
twin blessings, hover over mankind a ter.
rible suffering would seize upon him !;
gradually the disease wore upon him, wreck
ing his nervous system and clutching with
cold fingers at heart and brain. This went
on for a long time and friends saw no relief
before him but the last sleep of death. But
it is now all changed freed from this over
hanging heritage of Illness +. j. Vance is
once more able to enjoy life, the comforts OF
home and the joys Of family love. How il
happened is recorded in the following inter
view;
81 had treated with so many physicians, "
said Mr.. Vance, speaking of his recovery
from his longtime Illness, that began to
believe nothing could be done for me. l
tried two doctors at the Falls and then spent
lot of money on specialists who made great
boasts in Akron, but grew no better.
"What did they say allied you?" "My
heart was affected. 1 suffered so severely
with heart trouble that l wonder lived to
tell the tale Ny life was a torture. l e1-
pected every time had bad spell, and that
was nearly every night, that / should die.
i grew so nervous l was well nigh insane"
How then do you account for your pres.
ent healthy condition? You certainly look
very we'll now"
"When I was nearly distracted with the
pain of my disease and my inability to get
help, a boy came along and threw into my
carriage little pamphlet, advertising the
merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. | thought | would try them but
hesitated because | believed it could do nc
good; but that night | had worse attack
ont | drove over TO Cuyahoga Falls and
bought the Pink Pills for Pale People at the
drug store of F. Schnee & Co."
"And the result p"
al have never had another attack of tn,
complaint"
What was the nature of your disease p
doctors named it vsriously, as asthma
goitre, nervous prostration and hear
trouble"
"What did they call the diseass?"
Most Of them said it was heart disease
two told me had the worst form of hear
disease, valvular disease of the heart, and
assured me could never be any better"
How did it affect you2"
