" 10th April, 1899 "For a number of yeara I was troubled with indigestion, and what those of our sex know as general woaknesß in various form** and ways, accompanied by the usual gloomy 'orebodings and, of course, .a I find now, unnecessary cares of mind, producing «.ll kinds rf discouraging unticififttiouc, its which the common impression wouid constantly intrude itself that life was nob the fbwory bed of ease thai one used to read and sing ibout in one's childhood's hours. My food did not nourish the body, and I carried about with me, much to my discomfort, an emaciated form, and the common remark of my friends wue, ' How ill you always look.' Although I would not admit the truth of their opinion, yet my own conscious feeling assured me of the truth of their observation. There were many other ailment's which kept in check my former vitality ami buoyancy of epiiits, which need only be hinted at in a note such as this. In this stats of general debility I was advißed to take a course of Webber's Vitadatioi I too' it regularly for about six weeks, and took, in all, the contents of six large bottles. These were from the first a great source of help and relief, and I began to put on flesh at the rate of l£lb per week, and I now enjoy the very beab of health. To any of my own Eex, especially those who are troublad with en nui, from whatever cause arising, I verily believe a course of Vitadatio will give them hack the blessing of feood health, suoh as I enjoy, and for which I dedre to be truly thankful Vitaditio shall always have my strong recommendation,—Yours gratefully, M.
