editors New Era, Greensburg, Ind. :,
"DEAR SlRS: Your kind letter received
and l am glad to have the opportunity to
Mabel. We don't want any newspaper
notoriety, but in case like this where few
words OF what have to say may mean re-
covery for some child, feel 1t my duty to
tell you Of her case.
"Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining Of pains in her limbs, princi'
pally in her lower limbs. She was going to
school, and had to walk about three guar,
tiers OF q mile each day, going through oil
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
to do it.
"For several months she was confined to
the house, and she grew pale and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms
were drawn up and her appearance was
pitiiul. Several doctors had attended her,
but it 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 it, although we finally managed
to get her to the Martinsville baths. Here
she grew suddenly weaker, and it seemed
that she could not stand 1t, but she became
better, and it 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-
came worse again, and was afflicted with a
nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus'
6ince. For some time we thought she would
Gie, and the physicians gave her up. When
she was at her worst n neighbor came in
with box OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
| Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that she
thought they might help Mabel, ,
I'VE 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 IL
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" ,
