A Trained Nurse Gained Fifty=three
Pounds by Using a Nerve Food.
One OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
gRSEE5lyyss rs ON RECORD.
From the Gazette, Y,onkers, N. y.

III don't look much like n living skeleton
now, do l ? And yet two years ago l weighed
just sevcnty-two pounds" said Mrs. j. W..
Concy, of 50 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers,
Il. ", to IL exporter. And we agreed with
her, for she certainly looked anything but q
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear
ancc of u plump and attractive lady in cx-
cellent health and spirits. Continuing she
said:
81 had lost my appetite and was wasting
away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in q
few months. Doctors said i was threatened
with consumption. I was under what was
regarded as first-class medical treatment,
but it had apparently little or no effect, for
I kept getting worse until I was so weak
that l could not attend to my household
duties and could hardly walk. My husband
and everybody who saw me thought surely
that l would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulants and medicines all
seemed useless, and l grew worse and worse
until at last l resolved to seek some new
of nause0us drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed to take away what little relish l
might perhaps otherwise have had for food.
A friend told me of some wonderful cures
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and l bought Il box. The effect
from their use was noticeable from the first
and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it
seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one
from the dead.
81 soon commenced to eat, something l
had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon
began to gain i'll flesh and strength. went
one day to the doctors Office and he was sur
priScl mt the change in me for the better. I
had TO confess that l had been taking the
pills, and he Was brcad-minded enough to
advise me to continue what was evidently

125 pounds, which is my regular and normal
weight"
care you sure the cure is permanont?"
"Wcll, yes. Ny work is that of a trained
nurse, which means, as you probably know,
irregular hours and at times grcai c%xliaus-

qualification. but with them it is a
strong recommendation of character,
and in the important duties o frailroad-

The business world needs more of such
teaching. Let it grow and developer
