A bright little woman, rosy and fresh
from her household duties, dropped into a
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 thepostmaSter.
So general were the comments on this in
teresting case that the writer who visited
Mrs Francis and learned from her that the
statements regarding her troubles and her
subsequent extrication therefrom are en-
tircly true. All 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 10 allow her story TO appear
in print.
IF there is anything on earth I dread
more than another,n she said, ''it is 10 see
my name in the papers. But IN this case
conquer my replgnance and give publicly
the same credit u the savior of my life as
would to one who had dragged me from a
death beneath the waves. In fact, l have
extolled my preserver SO enthusiastically
and unreservedly; have sought out sufferers
and recommended the remedy 10 so many
friends and acquaintances that already my
neighbors jocularly call me 'Pink Pills
Francis But really, my recovery is some
thing that | consider wonderful. / know
that there are so many testimonials of medi-
cine in the papers nowadays that people do
not pay as much heed as formerly, but do
wish folks who are suffering would rcmem-
Der that what l say comes right from the
heart of woman who feels that she had
a new lease OF happy life given her.
Eleven years ago l was afflicted with
nervous prOstrition. My existence uusl
two years ago was one OF dragging misery.
Anyone in the village will tell you of my
condition. Ny blood seemed exhausted
from my veins and month after month l
grew weaker. was able 20 undertake only
the lightest household work, and even then
| could perform it only by slow and careful
movements. During all these sorry months
aud years was under the care of this doc
tor and thai, but their medicines helped me
only spaSmOdically, and then l fell into re
lapses more prostrating than ever.
in the night 1 used TO be awakened by
the most excruciating pains in my heart and
side, and wasoblige1 to use pellets of power
ful medicine that the doctor gave me for re-
lief in such attacks. AT last my condition
became so grave that went out only in.

over my husbands S store, and in descending
the stairway frequently was obliged &c
sort OF fall and slide over the steps in order
10 descend. such was tho strain on my svs-

Last year my aunt, Mrs NJ. a. Blossom,
of Dixfield Il. o., was here visiting me-
