fond parents, are completely wrapped up
In their children. Their daughter L-"y, in
particular, has given them much concern.
She is fifteen, and from strong, healthy
girl, three years ago, had become weak and
kept falling off in flesh, until she became a
mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life
at all. Her blood became impure and finally
she became the victim of nervous prostra-
tion. Doctors did not help her. Most of
the time she was confined to bed, was very
nervous and irritable, and seemed on the
verge OF st. Vitus' dance.

doctor told us to give her DR.. Williams Pink

him. He said he was treating similar case
with these pills and they were curing the
patient. We began giving the pills and the
next day could see change for the better.
