II had been sewing great deal and
1t was too much for me. Between that
and my other household duties began
to be very nervous had no appetite
and there was a feeling OF heaviness
around my henrt, so bad at times that it
seemed as if couldn't get any air.
was 80 nervous always that any little
thing would upset me. Nothing that I
could do gave me any relief and 1t be-
came so bad that l was obliged to
neglect my housework. had nervous
prostration.
"Some time in March. after had been
suffering for several months, l heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and began taking them. / felt little
better and that made me willing to give

stored.
II am glad of this chance to tell how
