had to do, or at least did do, great deal of
heavy lifting, got my meals very irregularly
and slept in enough spare beds in coun-
try houses to freeze an ordinary man to
death, or at least give him the rheuma-
tism. About eight years ago l began to
feel distress in my stomach, and consulted
several doctors about il. they all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia was
treated by various doctors in different
places, ana took all the patent medicines
could hear of that elaine to be cure for
dyspepsia. Put continued to grow grad
ually worse for four years. Then began
10 have pain in my back and legs and be-
came conscious that my legs were getting
weak and my step unsteady, and then
staggered when l walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of ratent medicines,
and feeling that | was constantly growing
worse, l then, upon advice, began the use OF
electric belts paus and all the many different
kinds Of electric appliances l could hear OF,
and spent hundreds of dollars for them, but
they did Inc no good. Here Mr.. QUAINT
showed the Journal reporter an electric suit
OF underwear. for which he paid $l24.l In
the fall of 1885 the doctors advised caauze
OF climate, so went TO Atlanta, Ga, and
acted as agent for the Estey Organ Com
pany. While there took a thorough cleo
tric treatment but 1t only 'emed to aggra-
vate my disease, and the only relief l could
get from the sharp and distressing plins was

death as the only certain relief In Septem-
her OF 1883 my legs gave out entirely and my
lett eye was drawn to one side so that had
double sight and was dizzy. My trouble SO
affected my whole nervous system that
had TO give up business. Then returned to
New York and went 10 the Roosevelt Hos
pital, where for tour mont is was treated
by specialists and they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia and incurabIe. After
had been under treatment hv Prof. Starr
and DIR. Ware for tour months, they told ms
they had done all they could for me- Then
went TO the New York Hospital on Fif-
teenth street, where, upon examination, they
said l was incurable and would not take ms
in. AT the Presbyterian Hospital they ex-
amined ME and told me the same thing. 10
March, 1890, was taken to st. Peters Hos
pital in Albany, where Prof. II. II. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless:
that he could do nothing for meand that she
had better take me back home and save my
money. But | wanted to make a trial of
Prof. Huns famous skill and | remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but Sc
cured no benefit. All this time ha been
growing worse. l had become entirely
paralyzsd from my waist down an had
lartly lost control OF my han Is. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt as though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re-
tain food, and | fell away to f20 pounds.
In the Albany Hospital they put seventeen
big burns on my back one day with rel hot
irons, and after few days they put fourteen
more burns on and treated me with cleo
tricity, but | got worse rather than better;
lost control OF my bowels and water, and
upon advice of the doctor, who said
there was no hope for me, was brought
home, where it was thou ght that death would
soon come to relieve me of my sufferings.
Last September, while in this helpless and
suffering condition, a friend of mine in
Hamilton, Ont, called my attention to the
statement OF one John Marshall, whose case
had been similar 10 my own, and who had
been cured by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Fills for Pale People. In this case Mr.. Mar
Shall, who is a prominent member of the
Royal Templars Of Temperance, had. after
four years OF constant treatment by the
most eminent Canadian physicians, been
pronounced incurable and pail the 5000
total disability claim allowed by the order in
such cases. Some months after Mr.. Mar
shall began a course of treatment with DR..
Mliilams Pink Pills, and after taking some
10 boxes was fully restored to health.
