Ono Who Broke Down from Six Years Of
Overwork Tells How She Escaped
Misery of Enforced Idleness.
"I had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years, I" said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she Was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention. "They
were greatly overcrowded, especially in
the primary department of which had
charge, and 1 had been doing the work
of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago
the crisis came.
"I was Frustrated mentally and ply
sically, sent i'll my resignation and never
expected to be able to resume work. It
seemed to me then that l was the most
miserable woman OH earth. was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to sleep, and had so little
blood that was as white as chalk.
"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings of years
for medicines which did me no good.'
GLOW didyou get back your health ?"
"a bare chance and n lot of faith led
me to cure. After I had suffered for
many months. and when was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were SO convincing that some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me- Most people, think, buy only
one box for trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when had used
them up, was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. 1 have already taught for several
months, and 1 cannot say enough in
praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret M. James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many of her fellow teachers have also
used DIR. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition. and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are sold in every drug store in the
world.
