without any benefit. Was troubled

" How thankful I am that I took
your medicine. I was troubled for
two years with inflammation of tho
womb and ovaries, womb was nlso very
low. I was in constant misery. Iliad
heart trouble, was short of breath and
could not walk flvo blocks to savo my
life. Suffered very much with my
back, had headache all tho time, was
nervous, menstruations wero irregular
and painful, had a bad discharge and
was troubled with bloating. I was a
perfect wreck. Had doctored nnd
taken local treatments, but still was no
better. I was advised by ono of my
neighbors to write to you. I have now
finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink

better in every way. I am able to do
all my own work and can walk nearly
a milo without fatigue; something I
had not been able to do for over two

9 o'clock Monday night. They were
driving to the city on the road that
leads from the "burnt bridge" and
when a mile or so from Mountain Lake
a strap on the harness on their horse
gave way, frightening the animal, who
made a desperate dash down the road.
The horse had proceeded not a long
distance on his maddened chase when
the wagon was overturned and the
old people thrown Into a pile of stones
along the road side. Mr. Kessler,
picking himself up, found his wife
bleeding and unconscious. He, too, wns
bleeding from a gash In his head and
was suffering Intense pain.
Feeble as he Is and Injured he shout
ed for assistance, but the only answer
was the echo of his voice resounding
In the woods. After a time Mrs. Kress
ler regained consciousness. Her hus
band made her as comfortable as pos
sible, und then set out to secure nld.
In the settlement nt Mountain Lake
ho met Rudolph Frantz, who hitched
his horse and without any unnecessary
delay returned to whore Mrs. Kress
ler lay. She was taken to Mr. Frantz's
home and given stimulants. Later she
wns removed to the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Kleump, on Irving avenue,
and Dr. Kolb was summoned. He
found her suffering from several deep
gashes on the head, and her face on
the right side wns a mass of bruises
and cuts that will disfigure her ap
pearance for life. Her left arm was
broken at the wrist Joint, and the
shoulder blade of that member wns
dislocated. Mr. Kressler's Injuries
were of a much less serious nature.
Tho gash on his head was the most
serious. Mrs. Kessler's recovery Is not
at all assured.
