WYOMING, WISCONSIN, June 9Th, 1896
Dr. Williams Med. Co., Schenectady, N. \.
Gentlemen Replying to your favor of
recent date, | called on Mrs. Jane Culver
of Wyoming Wis., yesterday. | had heard
much about her case before l went to see
her She has so long been regarded by her
family and all her neighbors as Il hopeless
invalid that her present state of health is
nothing less than marvel in this (Wyoming)
valley.
For more than year past and up to the
month of March last Mrs Culver had lain
actually at the point of death. Her neigh.
bors and friends expected daily to be called
upon to perform the " last sad offices" " for
her, and when they learned that she had
actually arisen from her bed and could "sit
up" it was felt that little less than u resur.
rection had happened in their midst.
Yet imagine the astonishment when u
week or two later it was announced in the
"valley" that she could acdik, and when
she was, at last, really able to meet and
shake hands with friends in the door, yard,
or upon the street, it was felt that truely
a miracle had been wrought in their midst.
! found Mrs. Culver, a pleasant faced,
attractive little woman, about her household
work when called on June 9TH. She was, in
fact, picking over gooseberries and her first
remark after greeting was that in all her fifty
eight years she could not recall so "early " a
season for fruit and garden stuff as the
present. She talked freely of her long, sad
illness-the dreary track of pain and weak.
ness over which for twenty years her body had
been raclled, and told with evident happiness
| of her wonderful cure. "The truth isl she
said, 81 was dead and am alive again." And
there was no lack of enthusiasm in her
| voice as she spoke of the sovereign remedy
which had wrought such wonder work for
her. She was surrounded by the members
of her family, her husband, daughter and
grand children, and Pink Pills was certainly
the burden of their happy conversation dur
| ing my visit.
But her cure after all, is best summed up
in her own simple and succinct statement,
which she made in the hope Of doing good
| to others.
Mrs. Culver is woman of education and
refinement Her husband was post master
at Wyoming during President Harrison's IS
| administration. Among those of their
neighbors who can further attest the facts in
| her case are the present post master and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs Richard Dunstan, Mr..
and Mrs c. w. Parks Mr. and Mrs. Solon
Kncllerbocker and scores of others living
here in the town and valley of Wyoming.
PSI must confess that had an idea
that patent medicine testimonials were mostly
fakes manufactured in the ood-humored
| spirit of humbuggery. which delights the
world at large In this case which | have
looked up myself | have found at the first
trial a cure so astonishing that | have been
afraid to write the facts just as the actual
history of the case demanded. | have been
truly fearful lest / should seem TO overdo
and thus spoil this splendid testimonial. /
