complaining OF pains In her limbs, princi-

school, and had TO walk about three quar-

kinds Of weather. She was thirteen years

was pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her, but 1t 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 1t. although we finally
managed to get her to the Martinsville
baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker,
and 1t seemed that she could not stand Il
but she became better and il 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-

nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus'
dance. For some time we thought she
would die, and the physicians gave her up.
When she was at her worst q neighbor came

Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
eases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that
she thought they might help Mabel.

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
