The following account OF dressnaker's
remarkable experience was recently told Il
reporter by Miss Daisy NJ. Musselman, u
charming young lady who resides with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Musselman,
at No. l6 North Christian Street, Lancaster,
Pa. Her case came under the notice of u re-.
porter several days ago, is worth publishing.
Last fall Miss Musselman began to feel ill.
As the days passed the decline in her health
became more apparent, she became very weak,
and at length feared total collapse of her
system. Miss Musselman is Il dressmaller. In
the early stages of her illness she found that
she was unable 10 do the usual amount of sew.
ing. As the ailment became more pronounced
she was at times too weak to work ut all, and
she had to take involuntary holidays. She be-
came listlcss, took little interest in her sur.
roundings, and finally was forced to give up
sewing altogether. The greatest change tool,
place in her physical appearance. The roses
in her cheeks faded away, Il chalky paleness
supplanting them. her eyes lost their brilliancy
and she began 10 lose weight steadily.
Her symptoms gave her great alarm and
she consulted her family physician, one OF
the best of the medical fraternity in the city.
lie prescribed all sorts of medicines but his
patient did not improve. Her nervous system

consult u specialist This would necessitate
u trip to n ncighborng city, involving the ex-

something must be done. 1t was just as she
had determined to visit the specialist that her
mother suggested that she try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. Through the newspapers she had
learned of the marvellous cures effected by
this wonderful medicine and felt that her
daughter ought to give il Il trial, II would
cost little and could do no harm. So Miss
Mussclman purchased box of DIR. vii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and began
taking them.

Miss Musselman to the reporter, "I began
