In every villngo tho pastor's wife ex erts nu influenco often ns great as that of her husband. Needless to say, tho ro nxmsihility of her position is great. Her ipproval or disapproval is not given without careful and conscientious con sideration. This emphasizes tho impor tance of tho enthusiasm shown by Mrs. B. E. Leech, wife of tho pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Madison, Mo., over nu important event in her ife. Tho exporienco is best told in her own words. "In 1895," sho says, "tho birth of a child left mo with complaints which caused me to suffer for soveral years. I was distressed after eating nnd was troubled with, nausea and tho formation of gas in my stomach. Thero wero so- vero pains and weakness in my back and loina and I was also afflicted with other troubles to which my box is subject. Doctors treated mo nearly all tho while for three years but I was not benefited to any extent." "But you seem to have recovered marvolously," was suggested. "Yes," Mrs. Leech answored, "and I will tell you how it was brought about. I had read of cures effected by Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I decided to seo what they would do for mo. There was a decided improve ment whilo I was using tho second box of the pills but I did not stop taking them until I had taken six boxes and was cured." Mrs. Leech suffered from tho same troubles that aro making thousands of women miserable. A few ot tho symp toms aro severe headache, loss of appe tite, exhaustion, pains in tho groin or limbs, palo or sallow complexiou, ner vousness, offonsivo breath, etc. Tho 'sufferer may exhibit ono or more of these symptoms, or may nave au. xney simply indicate tho ravages disease has made unou tho svstem. and the more of these symptoms tho pationt shows tha greater tho necessity for prompt and persistent treatment until they havo been banished and tho bloom of health isrostored. To accomplish thisond.Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People aro tha onlv unfailinc remedy. They are on sale at all druggists or will bo sent postpaid on receipt of prico, fifty cents per box or six boxes for two dollars and a half, by Dr. Williams Mediciuo Co., Schenectady, JN. x.
