Misery-Her Critical Condition.


From the Democrat .She1byuiiIe, Ind
In one of the main streets of Shelby
vile, Indiana, resides Mrs. Emily
Edwards and her seventeen year old
daughter, Cora. The young lady is one
of the charming misses of the city, she
being known for her beauty, and perfect
health.
although enjoying good health now,
said her mother to a reporter recently,
"she has not always been so fortunate.
| suppose Cora, until two years ago
last March, was as healthy and strong as
any girl of her age. She was attending
school and was studying hard. Perhaps
she was too studious, for we noticed that
the healthy color in her cheek was rapid
ly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles
began to appear under her eyes, and she
raplcly became worse. We were living in
franklin, Indiana, at the time, and Cora
would have graduated that Spring. She
stopped attending school and endeavored
to get rest, but her health kept failing.
Her blood was colorless and impure. She
would also have sick headache, could
scarcely eat or sleep, and was almost con-
tlnually in pain. Nothing which we did
for her seemed to do any good.
different physicians treated and pre-
scribed for her. but she kept getting
worse. She had formerly weighed 109
pounds, but during her illness her weight
had dwindled down to 70 pounds. We
began to think there was nothing we
could do for her benefit, when l happened
to notice an article in a paper regarding
the merits of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
was ever a pale person it was certainly
Cora, SO 1 decided to buy box of the
pills and let her try them. 1t was kthe
first of last May when she began, and
near the middle of June when she stopped
using the pills. The first dose helped
taken, she was different girl. She con-
tinued with this medicine and when she
had taken eight boxes complete cure
had been effected.
She is now stronger, can eat more
sleeps better. and weighs more than she
did before she was taken sick. l am sure
too much cannot be said about DIR. Will

case, as they undoubtedly saved her life.

The young lady said word of ap-
proval, and that she felt very grateful for
the benefit received through DIR. Will

l would not be living today had I not
used these pills"
To leave no doubt as to the truthfulness
of her story Mrs. Edwards cheerfully
made the following affidavit:
