WHAT IT MEANS TO LOSE THE POWER TO SLEEP. A Ynnnjf llnltlmoro Womiu Whoso Nerves l'rctrnted Her From Keating. From the Herald, Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Jessie Shea is a young married woman whose tidy home Is at 855 West TexInRton Street, Baltimore. For many months Mrs. Shea wns a terrible suf ferer from a nervous nftectlon which resulted in general debility and super induced that ofttlmep Incurable mal ady, Insomnia. A Herald reporter called at her residence recently and wns shown Into tha i.eatly furnished parlor and told that Mrs. Shea would be down Jn a few min utes. Soon a light step waa heard tripping down thf stairway nnd Mrs. Shea, radiant with health and the vigor of young womnnhood, entered the room. When asked If she had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, with a smile which betokens the utmost satisfac tion, the -young lady replied "Yea, 1 have used them, nnd hnd I not heard of them I doubt If I would have been here to answer your call." Continuing, sho satd: "About two months ago I had nn attack of what the doctors termed nervous prostration. My appetite left mo entirely and what little sleep I got, and It was very lit tle, I assure you, wns not by any means refreshing. On the contrary, when I awoke from a nap I had such a tired and exhausted feeling that I was loth to try to .ret to sleep again. I continued to lose flesh day after day until I wns almost a shadow compared with my former self. "Aa noon bb I began to take the Pink PHIs I commenced to Improve. I am no longer troubled with nervousness. I have a good appetite, experience none of the feelings Incident to Indigestion, nnd I sleep ns sound as a healthy child. The pills are certainly all they are rep resented to be, and, as I believe I owe my life to the fact of having used them, I shall always cheerfully recom mend them to my friends and other persons whom I find to be suffering from similar maladies.
