"I am the mother of ten children and
have raised eight of them. Several years
ago VI had q serious time with my daughter,
which began when she was about sixteen
years old. She did not have any serious
illness but seemed TO gradually waste away.
Having never had any consumption in our
families. as we come of good old Irish and
Scotch descent, we did not think it was that
disease. Neither did she have a hacking
cough, yet sho grew thinner md paler each
day. Our doctor called the disease by I'M
odd name which, az I afterward learned,
meant lack of blood.

sort was induced to try DIR. Williams Pink
