DEATH WAS KNOCKING AT MB8 ALLEN'S DOOR- Relief Came From an Unexpected Source, and She Safely Passed the Terrible Ordeal She Tells Her Exper fence to the Editor of the Democrat. From the Democrat, Mt. Vernon, Ind. When one of the most highly respected residents of a community is known to be a sufferer from any disease, and is sud denly cured, it is but natural that the community should take great interest in the case. Mrs. M. A. Allen, the wife of Mr. Chas. M. Allen, of Mt. Vernon, Ind., has long been known to the inhabitants of oar beautiful little city to be a sufferer with severe and relentless heart trouble, and when it was reported around the city that she had been cured of her trouble, the editor of the Democrat, who was overjoyed to hear of it, took it upon himself to investigate the case and find out what caused her cure. Upon calling at the cozy little home of the Aliens, the epitor was welcomed in by the courteous lady, and, after they were comfortably seated, the editor explained his mission, and received from Mrs. Al len the story of her suffering and wonder ing and wonderful recovery. She was in the best of spirits, as one would natural ly be expected to be after recovering from a long and severe illness. She stated that her name bad never been in the newspapers before, and she didn't much like ths idea; but, in case 01 this kind, she would relent in order to en lighten suffering humanity. She stated that she was fifty-five years 01 age and had suffered from palpitation of the heart and nervousness for years, and thought death was at hand. She tried many remedies but could find no relief. Sleepless nights and nervousuess at all times was beginning to tell upon her. She read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the Mt. Vernon papers, and their wonderful cures. She did not put much stock in them, but finally concluded to try them. Her own words are: "The first two boxes did me so mnch good that I thought I would not have to use them any more. I stopped using them, but suffered a relapse, however, and com menced using them again. Since then I have never had a bad spell, while before- 1 would faint and was unfit for work and home duties. Now I feel stronger and better than 1 nave for years. She looks upon Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a God-send, and says she is free to say tbey are an excellent remedy for heart trouble and nervousness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles pe culiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, over work or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six box es for $2 50, and may be had of all drug gists or direct by mail from Dr. Wil liam's Medicine Company, Schenectady, w. r.
