A TRAINED NURSE GAINED FIFTY THREE POUNDS BY USING A NERVE FOOD. One of tho Most Remarkable Result! on Record- From tho 0 alette. Yonkers. N. T. '-I don't look much like a living skele ton uow, do I? and yet two years ago I weighed just seventy-two pounds," said Mrs. J. W. Coffey, of 55 warburton ave nue, Yonkers, N. Y., to a reporter. And we agreed with her, for she certainly looked anything but a living skeleton, but rather bore the appearance of a plump and and attractive lady in excel lent health and spirits. Continuing, the said: "I had lost my appetite and waa wast ing away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in a few months. Doctors said I was threatened with consumption. I waa under what was regarded as first class medical treatment, but it had apparent ly had little or no effect, for I kept get ting worse until I could not attend to my household duties and could hardly walk. My husband and everybody who saw me thought surely that I would die, and there seemed no help for me. "Tonics and stimulants and medicines all seemed useless, and I grew worse and worse until at last I resolved to seek some new remedyone entirely out . of the usual linn of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which seemed to take away what little relish I might perhaps otherwise have had for food. A friend told me of some wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple, and I bought a box. The effect from their use was noticeable from the first and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it seemed pretty nearly like the rais ing of one from the dead. "I soon commenced to eat, something I bad scarcely done before for weeks, and soon began to gain in flesh and strength. I went one day to the doctor's office and he was surprised at the change in me for the better. I had to confess that I had been taking the pills, and he was broad minded enough to advise me to continue what was evidently doing me so much good. I took, in all, six boxes, and In creased in weight from 72 to 125 pounds which is my regular and normal weight." "Are you sure the cure is permanent?" "Well, yes. My work is that of trained nurse, which means, as you probably know, irregular hours, and at times great exhaustion. During the two years since my recovery I have had many en gagements, and through them all have continued in good health. 1 take pleas ure in bearing testimony to the remark able power of this great medical discov ery. I know of other cures effected by it. A friend of mine suffered greatly at her monthly periods. One box relieved and three boxes cured her. But I know of no case equal to mine, for my case was criti cal, desperate, and almost hopeless." Mrs.' Coffey has lived in Yonkers for sixteen years, and for twelve years has foil wed the business of attendingthesick, excepting only the period of her illness. She has hundreds of acquaintances and friends who know her to be capable and trustworthy. Many of them know how very ill she was and how remarkable was her recovery. The pills have a large sale in Yonkers and Westchester county, which will be greatly increased as their merits become better known, for tbey seem to be one of the medical marvels of the age. 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. Tbey lire an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the nfter effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complex ions, all forms of weakness either in male or female.
