From the New Era. Greensburg. Ind.
The st. Paul correspondent for the New
Era recently had an item regarding the case
Of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered
from a serious illness of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was very bad case and her
recovery was such surprise to the neigh
bors 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 full ms
tory of the case, and a few days ago the toll
lowing letter was received from Mrs.
| stevens:
ST. PAUL. IND, Jan. 20, 1897.
| Editors New Era, Greensburg, Ind.
DEAR SIRS: Your kind letter received
! tell you about the sickness and recovery of
| Mabel We don't want any newspaper
notoriety, but in case like this where few
words of what L have to say may mean re-
eovery for some child, [ feel it my duty to
| 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-
tiers of a mile each day, going through all
| kinds of weather. She was thirteen years
old and doing SO well in her studies that
! disliked 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
Pitiful. 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 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 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.
f..She fingered along, and last winter be-
came worse again, and was afflicted with a
nervous trouble almost like the St Eitus'
dance. For some time we thought she would
she was at her worst neighbor came in
with a box of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they We're advertised to be good for such
nervousness with such good results that she
I'VE 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 we'll as ever, and going to school every
day, having started in again three weeks
ago. Her cure was undoubtedly due to
these pills.
