the following most grateful manner.
WEST FORK, Ind Sept 20, 1896
"DEAR SIR: In response to your note of
inquiry trust you will not expect me to
write all / feel, for 1 cannot do so in an
ordinary letter.
II am now past my ffty-fifth anniversary,
and am in possession of better health than
at any time within thirty years. From my
twenty fourth year, when my third child was
born, until the spring of 1894, when / had
the good fortune to begin the use of Pink
Pills, scarcely knew what 1t was to be free
from pain, though naturally of q robust con-
stitution. The hardships Of life for a farmers
wife in those days can hardly be estimated
by women in the same station nowadays,
for in those days farm labor was more
oner0us.
"At the birth of my third child, my youth
seemed to suddenly fade away, and my once
robust constitution to collapse, but my hus.
though ill-health brought its train of mise
ries, IL brought no relaxation from the bur-
dens which devolve upon a poor mans wife.
Falling of the womb, my first complaint,
was soon followed by dyspepsia, bladder

more than fifteen years. My sleep was
sweet and refreshing. There was no more
rising during the night by reason of disor-

any other symptoms Of my enfeebled con-
