Her Friends and Neighbors.

Near to Death But Restored SO Complete

, From the Journal, Le,Otston, Me.
A bright little woman, rosy and fresh
t from her household duties, dropped into q
> chair before the writer and talked with en-.
thusiasm shining In her swapping, black
eyes.
The people in the pretty village of Leeds
Center, Me-, have watched with some in
terest the restoration to complete health of
Mrs. w. l.. Francis, wife Of the postmaster.

Mrs. Francis and learned from her that the
statements regarding her troubles and her
subsequent extrication therefrom are en-
tirely true. AL Of her neighbors know
what has been the agency that has per-
formed this cure, but that others may be
benefited by her experience, Mrs. Francis
has consented to allow her story to appear
in print.
"If there is anything on earth I dread
more than another" she said, 'it is to see
my name in the papers. But in this case

Anyone in the village will tell you of my
condition. My blood seemed exhausted
from my veins and month after month
grew weaker. Twas able to undertake only
the lightest household work, and even then
could perform it only by slow and careful
and years was under the care of this doc
tor and that but their medicines helped me
only spasmodically, and then fell into re
lapses more prostrating than ever.
!, I'm the night used to be awakened by
the most excruciating pains in my heart and
side, and wasobliged to use pellets Of power
ful medicine that the doctor gave me for re-
lief in such attacks. At last my condition
necame so grave that I went out only in
frequently. We live upstairs, you notice,

Ine stairway frequently was obliged to
