A WOMAN PIONEER.
THE EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF MRS. J. P. HADLEY. Owner und Manager of a Splendid Prairie Farm—Wonderful Grit and Kndurance. /Yoni the Free Pretx, Strea.'nr, 111. On a splendid farm at Blarkstone, in the very heart of tne great, rieh nnd prosperous prairies of Northern Illinois, lives Mrs. .1. V. Hadley. She owns and personally directs the affairs of her farm, which is as rich and productive as the most ambitious could desire. She is now 05 years old and was afflicted with Weeding at the lungs for fortyfive years. During thut time she was a great sufferer, she was weak, tired and run down, and in consequence existence, even, was £i burden. There was no pleasure in life for her. “During ail these years," she said to the writer, “I had received treatment from many very successful and emiueut physicians. They could do nothing for me. I continued to grow worse, year by year, until last spring, when I was so bad that I could not even walk aeross my room, and when I coughed the blood often gushed from my nose and mouth. At this time I was receiving treatment from the local physicians, and while they are men of more than ordinary skill, 1 was constantly growing weaker anti worse. Under these circumstances I became thoroughly discouraged and disheartened. "My physicians told me frankly thnt they could do no more for me, that 1 could live but a short time'ut the best, and that I should arrange my affairs with that fact in view, that my death was only a question of n very short time. Under these wry trying and discouraging vieeumstanees my attention was called to' the advertisement of Pink Pills for Pule People. I decided to try them. I could not see that I had anything to lose and everything was to be gained. My physicians were doing me no good, so there was nothing to lose by dropping their treatment, so without saying nnythiug to them aboqt it, I began on March 22, ISJKJ, to take Pink Pills for Tale People, and 1 have continued their use up to the present time,' In all 1 have taken eleven boxes. I begun to ifuprove almost as soon as I began to take them nnd I have gained constantly until I ant now remarkably well for one of my years., It has been more than forty-five year?.since 1 was as lam now. I now fully realize that I have not known what it was to he really well. That weak, tired, languid feeling which lws been the burden of my existence for so many years and which has made any labor or even life itself a thing to be dreaded is gone. I can now work about the house and assist in the duties which fall to women on farms' and even enjoy the labor while thus employed. I cannot help wondering how I ever endured my years of torture. I consider myself fully as strong and healthy now as women \>f my age usually are. “When I began taking the pills my skin was 1 dry, harsh and dead. It has since peeled off and is fresh, soft and healthy now. My hair, which was almost white, crisp and dead, has regained its vigor aud much of its color and i» soft und pliable. It is in better condition than it has been for years. My feet wore badly swollen, tln> skin on them was dry and cracked. They gnve me great trouble. Now that is all changed. The swelling has entirely disappeared nnd they are in u perfectly healthy condition. “Taking it all in all,” she said, “I think my cure a most remarkable one, nnd I um more than willing that the world shall know whnt Pink Pills for Pale People have done for me, for it may prove n blessing to other sufferers. Yes, you may make any use you like of my experience." An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life nnd richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills lire sold by atl druggists, or will be sent post paid'on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50-rfthey are never sold in hulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady,N.Y.
