Must seyenty-two pounds" said Mrs. J.. W.
Cofey, of So Warburton Avenue, Yonkers,
n. Y, to a reporter. And eve agreed with
her, for she certainly looked anything but q
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear
ance of a plump and attractive lady in ex-
cellent health and spirits. Continuing she
said:
Il had lost my appetite and was wasting
away in flesh, losing some fifty Mounds in a
few months. Doctors said l was threatened
with consumption. / was under what was
regarded as first-class medical treatment,
but it had apparently little or no effect, for
/ kept getting worse until | was so weak
that l could not attend to my household
duties and coMd hardly walk. My husband
and everybody who saw me thought surely
that l would die, and there seemed no help
for me.
"Tonics and stimulants and medicines all
seemed useless, and | grew worse and worse
until at last | resolved to seek some rev
remedy one entirely out Of the ucual line
of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which
seemed to take away what little relish /
might perhaps otherwise have hadNor food.
A friald told me of some wonderful cures
effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and | bought q box. The cH>ct

and soon appeared almost miraculous for it

had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon
began to gain in flesh and strength. | went
one day to the doctors Office and he WIS sur
prised at the change in me for the bot.nr. |
had TO confess that | had been taHing the
pills, and he was broad minded enough to
advise me TO continue what was evidently
doing me so much good. | TOOK. in all, six

weight"

swell, yes. My work is that of g trairnd
nurse, which means, as you probably know,
irregular hours and at times great cxhaus-
ton. During the two years since my re-
covery I have had many engagements, and
through them all have continued IN good
health. | take pleasure in hearing testi-
mony to the remarkable power Of this great
