 Rescue Her.
From the New Era. Greensourg. Ind.


 The St. Paul correspondent for the New Era recently had an item regarding the case of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered from serious illness of rheumatism and nervous trouble, and was able to be out for the first time in three months The letter stated that 1t was very bad case and her recovery was such a surprise to the neigh bors that 1t created considerable gossip.
 Being anxious to learn the absolute facts Tn the case, special reporter was sent to have talk with the girl and her parents They were not at home. however, being some distance away. A message was sent to Mir. stevens, asking him to write up a full his tory of the case, and few days ago the fol. lowing letter was received from Mrs. Stevens:
 "ST. PAUL, IND, Jan. 20, 1897. Editors New Era, Greensburg, Ind.
 DEAR SlRS: Your kind letter received and l am glad to have the opportunity to tell you about the sickness and recover of Mabel. We don't want any newspaper notoriety, but in case like this where a few words ot what l have to say may mean re- coyery for some child, feel it my duty to tell you of her case.
 Two years ago this winter Mabel began complaining of pains in her limbs, princi pally Tn her lower limbs. She was going to school. and had to walk about three quar. ters of a mile each day, going through all kinds of weather. She was thirteen years old and doing so well in her studies that dlslIked to take her from school, but we had to do it.
 For several months she was confined to the house, and she grew pale and dwindled down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms were drawn up and her appearance was pitlful. Several doctors had attended her, but It seemed that none of them did her any good. They advised us to take her to the springs, but times were so hard we could not afford 1t, although we finally managed to get her to the Martinsville baths Here she grew suddenly weaker, and it seemed that she could not stand it, but she became better, and it seemed that she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew worse and we had to bring her home.
 She fingered along, and last winter be came worse again, and was afflicted with a nervous trouble almost like the St. Vitus dance. For some time we thought she would die, and the physicians gave her up. When she was at her worst neghbor came in with a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and wanted us to try them s they were advertised to be good for such cases, and her daughter had used them for nervousness with such good results that she thought they might help Mabel.
 We tried them. The first box helped her some, and after she had taken three boxes she was able to sit up in bed When she had finished half dozen boxes she was able to be out and about. She has taken about nine boxes altogether now, and she is as well as ever, and going to school every day, having started in again three weeks ago. Her cure was undoubtedly due 10 these pills"
