WYOMING, WISCONSIN, June 9th, 1896
DR.. Williams He'd, Co., Schenectady, ". Y.
Gentlemen Replying to your favor oil
recent date, l called on Mrs. Jane Culver,
of Wyoming, Wis, yesterday. l had heard
much about her case before l went to see
her. She has so long been regarded by her
family and all her neighbors as a hopeless
invalid that her present state of health is
nothing less than a marvel in this (Wyoming)
valley.
For more than a year past and up to the
month of March last Mrs Culver had lain
actually at the point of death. Her neigh.
bors and friends expected daily to be called
upon to perform the last sad Offices" fol-
her, and when they learned that she had
actually arisen from her bed and could "sit
up, !" it was felt that little less than resur-
rection had happened in their midst.
Yet imagine the establishment when a
week or two later it was announced in the
VALLEY" that she could acalk and when
she was, at last really able to meet and
shake hands with friends in the door yard.
or upon the street, it was felt that truely
miracle had been wrought in their midst.
j found Mrs. Culver, a pleasant faced,
attractive little woman about her household
work when called on June 9TH. She was, in
fact, picking over gooseberries and her first
remark after greeting was that in all her fifty-
eight years she could not recall so "early " a
season for fruit and garden stuff as the
present. She talked freely of her long, sad
illness-the dreary track of pain and weak
ness over which for twenty years her body had
been racked, and told with evident happiness
Of her wonderful cure. "The truth is" she
said, 81 was dead and am alive again" AID
there was no lack Of enthusiasm in her
voice as she spoke of the sovereign remedy
which had wrought such wonder work for
her. She was surrounded by the members
Of her family, her husband, daughter and
grand children, and Pink Pills was certainly
the burden of their happy conversation dur
ing my visit
But her cure after all, is best summed I'D
in her own simple and succinct statement,
which she made in the hope of doing good
to others.
Mrs. Culver is a woman of education and
refinement. Her husband was post ,aaster
at Wyoming during President Harrison's
administration. Among those of their
nelghbOrs who can further attest the facts in
her case are the present post master and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Dunstan, Mr..
and Mrs. c. w. Parks. Mr.. and Mrs Scion
Knic kerbocker and scores of others living
here in the town and valley of Wyoming.
PSI must confess that | had an idea
that patent medicine testimonials were mostly
fakes, manufactured in the good-humored
spirit of humbuggery which delights the
world at large. In this case which | have
looked up myself I have found at the first
trial cure so astonishing that / have been
afraid to write the facts just as the actual
history of the case demanded. | have been
truly fearful lest I should seem to overdo
RRd thus spoil this splendid testimonial l,
