of '90 I took the "grippe," went to work before
I was well, was caught in a rain which gave me a very bad relapse,
resulting in lung fever and complete prostration; was on my bed two
months, and when I did get out, the strength to walk any more than just
a few rods did not come back. My family doctor and two prominent
physicians of Sioux City, did me no good. Late in the fall I got a
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which quieted my
trembling nerves and gave me an appetite to eat. I then concluded to try
the Doctor, personally. Up to this time I was in a pitiable condition.
Sometimes I could not sleep until I felt almost wild, then sleep so much
I would be stupefied. I could not digest any food and my whole system
was wasting and failing fast. I doubt if any one who saw me expected me
to get well. I took the treatment sent me by the World's Dispensary
Medical Association for more than a year. The medicine never gave me any
distress as other medicines had done before. I began to improve from the
start, but the change from one extreme to the other was like the growth
of a child.

To any one suffering from nervous prostration I would say, "don't be
impatient." It takes a long time for weakened nerves to grow strong. I
have at last become strong and well, thanks to the Giver of all good and
the grand Institution at Buffalo. I have since married a noble-hearted
young woman, and when I am playing with our sweet, healthy, baby girl, I
give way to the thought that at last the long, sad chapter of my life is
ended; at such times her merry laugh sounds like a song of triumph of
life over death.

Gratefully yours,
W.S. NICHOLSON,
Willow Creek, Clay Co., Iowa.
