THE MOTHER OF A YOUNG INFANT INTERVIEWED.
From The Herald Democrat, Huron, SD.

From Ule LfeTutu DeI0OcTuJt huron, -. ID.
A few years since, J.. w. Kelley came to
j Huron, South Dakota, from Osceola, Iowa,
and purchased an interest in the Huron
City Mill, an immense structure having q
capacity of 200 barrels of -four per day.
Soon after his arrival Mr.. Kelley's family
removed here and some months later they
were joined by their son Elmer and family,
he having purchased an interest in the con-
cern. and the firm became known as j. w.
Kelley & Son. Since their arrival they have
built up an immense trade for their patent
roller flour, and ship many carloads every
month to eastern and other markets.
When they came to Huron, Mrs. ]. w.
4 Kelley was in very delicate health and the
i change of climate and conditions seemed to
a benefit her. But the relief proved only tenn
porary however, for after few months resi-
dence here she lapsed into the same infrm
physical condition that had been her lot for
then nearly twenty years. Her ailments
were those peculiar to women and which
women alone can best understand. In ad-
dition to these troubles Mrs. Kelley was
sufferer from acute sck-headache. This
would come upon her at intervals of about
two weeks continuing for two three or four
days, much of the time compelling her to
keep to her bed. Because of her aff1iction
she was quite unable to do her housework,
visit her neighbors, or attend church. This
worried her greatly for she is a deyout
Christian and lives according to her profess
sion. As Rev. b. II. Burtt, pastor of the
Congregational Church, to which Mrs. Kel-
ley belongs, said of her one evening at the
close of service:
"Mrs. Kelley is indeed true mother in
Israel; she is conscientious and earnest, faith
ful and devoted-a Christian in the truest
sense Ofthe term"
In replying to inquiries touching her case,
Mrs. Kelley said:
New York State, where / lived for fourteen
years, then removed with my parents to
Michigan, living there about the same num-
Der of years, then went to Iowa, remaining
there till we came here some four years ago,
or more. / have been troubled with weak
nesses peculiar to my sex, for the past twenty
five years. During that time my husband
has expended large amount of money fee

found little relief. Physicians told me the
womb was badly disarranged and no perma-
nent relief could be afforded till the change
of life had fully taken place. In this they
like myself, were disappointed. To add to
my other troubles a headache, painfully
sickening would come upon me about every
two weeks l became quite discouraged and
i had lost faith in the science of medicine,
both of the old school and new, and cared to
expend no more money in that way.
