the neighbors that It created considerable
gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
in 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 Mr.. stevens. asking him to write up q
full history OF the case, and few days ago
the following letter was received from Mrs.

'sSr. PAUL, IND, Jan. co. 1897.
Editors Ne,c Era Greensburg, Ind.
DEAR SIRs: Your kind letter received
and am glad to have the opportunity to
tell you about the sickness and recovery OF
Mabel. We don't want any newspaper no.
toriety but in a case like this where few
words of what have to say may mean re-
tell you OF her case.
1.-TWO years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains in her limbs, princi-
pally In 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 l
disliked to take her fromschool 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 pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her any good. They advised us to take her
to the springs, but times were so hard we
could not afford it, although we finally
managed to get her to the Martinsville
baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker,
and it seemed that she could not stand 1t,
but she became better, and 1t 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
nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus
| dance For some time we thought she
would die, and the physicians gave her up.
Whom she was at her worst neighbor came
in with a box Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted US to try them as
they we're 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.
e'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 to these pills"
