Mrs. Mary Gagner, Of No. $40 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some Of the greatest bless
ngs Of life may lie within easy reach
aud yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
with dizziness and great weakness.

The secret of the power of Dir. Will

that they make new blood, and every or
