tell you OF her case
Two years ago TIN. winter Mabel began
complaining OF pains IN her limbs, prlnci-
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
20 do IT.
For several mouths she was confined to
the house, and she grew pale and dwlndled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms
were drawn up and her appearance was
pitiful. Several doctors had attended her,

nervous trouble almost like the St. Nitus'
dance. For some time we thought she would

she WAS at her worst a neghbor came in
with a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us TO try them as
they were advertised to be good fDr such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that she
thought they might help Mabel
we 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 well as ever, and going to school every
day, having started in again three weeks
ago. Her cure was undoubtedly due to
these pills"
