WYOMING, WISCONSIN,, June 6th, 1896.
DR.. Williams Ned Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
GentlemFn Replying to your favor Of
recent date, / called on Mrs. Jane Culver,
Of Wyoming, Wis, yesterday. had heard
much about her case before / went to see
her. She has so long been regarded by her
family and all her neighbors as hopeless
invalid that her present state of health is
nothing less than a marvel in this (Wyom-
ing) valley.
For more than year past, and up to the
month of March last Mrs. Culver had lain
actually at NE point of death. Her neigh
bore 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 resur-
fection had happened in their midst.
Yet imagine the astonishment when a
week or two late: il was announced 10 the
valley" that she could aodlk, 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 truly a
miracle had been wrought in their midst.
found Mrs. Culver, pleasant faced, at
tractive little woman, about her household
work when called on June 9th. She was
in fact, picking over gooseberries, and her
irst remark after greeting was that in all her
hfty-eight years she could not recall 80
early " season for fruit and garden stuff
sa the present She talked freely of her long,
sad illness-the dreary track Of pain and
weakness over which for twenty years her
body had been racked, and told with evident
happiness Of her wonderful cure. "The truth
is, she said, 81 was dead and am alive
again" And there was no lack ofenthusiasm
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 grandchildren, and Pink Pills was GER
tainly the burden of their happy conversa-
ton during 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 q woman of education and
refinement. Her husband was postmaster
at Wyoming during President Harrison's
administration. Among those of their
neigkbors who can further attest the facts in
her case are the present postmaster and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. RichaSd Dunstan, Mr..
and Mrs. c. w. Parks, Mr.. and Mrs. SolOn
Knickerbocker, and scores Of others living
here in the town and valley of Wyomiag.
p. ST. must confess that had an idea
that patent medicine testimonials were mostly
fakes, manufactured in the good -humored
spirit of humbuggery which delights the
world at large. In this case which have
looked up myself have found at the first
trial cure 80 astonishing that have been
afraid to write the facts just as the actual
truly fearful lest I should seem to overdo
