of his restoration to health, Mr.. Bell
said to an interviewer:

of course, was slow. / suffered untold
tortures. My nervous system was a
complete wreck; had spells of dizziness,
and, when l attempted to walk, numb
ness came over my whole body. Ny
sleep was not at all restful or natural
and / always woke tired out. My
appetite was poor and at times suffered
from violent nervous headaches. The
powerful electric shock had undermined
my whole system. In spite of the doc

anxious to return to my work, but my

not only through his prominence in
school matters, but as a hero-the man
who risked his life in vain attempt to
save woman from terrible death.
Mr.. Bells accident was not one of the
sort which falls to the lot of many peo-
pie but the results that followed were
the same, in kind as the many nervous

are afflicted. Only in his case they were
unusually severe. His nervous system
was wrecked-almost beyond repair
and no medicine did him any good until
he tried DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. They cured him.
