A WOMAN PIONEER.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF MRS. J.-P. HADI^EY. :' 1 . ; " *-» £ Owner and Manager of a Splendid Prairie Farm—Wonderful Grit and Endurance. From the Free Prei» t Strsator, HL On a splendid farm at Blackstoue, in the very heart of tfie great, rich and prosperous prairies of Northern Illinois, lives Mrs. J. P. Hadley. She dwnp and personally directs the affairs of her farm, which is as rich and productive as the most ambitious could desire. She is now (55 years old and was afflicted with bleeding at the lungs for fortyfive yeax-s. During that time she was a great sufferer, she was weak, tired and run down,, and in consequence existence, even, was a burden. There was no pleasure in life for her. “During all these years,” she said to the writer, “I had received treatment from many very successful and eminent physicians. They coiil<T~do nothing for me. I continued to grow Worse, year .by year, until last spring, when 1 was so bad that I could not even walk aprons my rogm, and when I coughed the blood oftev gushed from my nose and mouth. At this time l was receiving treatment from the local physicians, arid while they are men of more than ordinary skill, I whs constantly growing weaker and worse. Under th'ese circumstances I became thoroughly discouraged and disheartened. “My physicians fold mo frajiSy that they could do no more for me, that I could live hut a short tiroe at the best, and that I should arrange my affairs with that fact in view, that my death was only a question of a very short time. Under these very trying and discouraging circumstances my attention was called to the advertisement of Pink Pills for Pale 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 anything to them about it, I began on March 22, 1805, to take Pink Pills for Tale People, and I have continued their use up to the present time. In all I have taken eleven boxes. I began to improve almost as soon as 1 began to take them and I have gained constantly until I am now remarkably well for one of my years. It has been more than forty-five years since I was as lam now. I now fully realize that I have not known what it was to be really well. That weak, tired, languid feeling which L*.t 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. 1 consider myself fully as strong and healthy now as women of my age usually are. “When I began taking the pills my skin was dry, harsh and dead. It has since peeled off and is fresh, soft and healthy now. My hair, which was almost white, crisp arid dead, has regained its vigor and pnich of-its color and is soft and pliable. It is in better condition than it has beCn f(v years. My feet were badly swollen, the skin on them was dry and Cracked. They gave me great trouble. Now that is all changed. The swelling has entirely disappeared and they are in a perfectly healthy condition, “Taking it all in all,” she said, “I think my cure a. most remarkable one, and I am more than willing that the world shall know what Pink, Pills'for Pale People have done for me, for it may prove a blessing to other sufferers. Yes, you may makfe any use iron like of my experience.” An analysis of Ur. Williams’ Pink Pills shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all tile elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 cents a box or Six boxes for s2.so—(they are never sold in hulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady,N.l’. The children of the poor Tu Japan arc pearly always labeled in case they phoiahl stray from their homes whilst fcheir mothers are engaged on domestic jluties.
