way and excepting while travelling on bust
; ness an a little while IN Amsterdam, have
spent Ny whole lie here. Up to about eight
years ago | had new r been sick and was
then in perfect health. ] was fully six feet
tall, weighed 1870 pounds ami was very
strong. For IL years was travelling sales
man for piano and organ company, and
had to do, or at least did do a great deal of
heavy lifting, got my meals very irreguarly
and slept in enough spare beds in coun-
try houses to freeze an ordinary man to
death, or at least give him the rheuma-
tsm. About eight years ago | began to
feel distress in my stomach, and consulted
several doctors about it. they all said it
was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia | was
ted nv in
places, ami took all the patent medicines
could hear OF that elaine to be cure for
dyspepsia. Put j continued to grow grad
ualiy worse for four years. Then | began
to have pain in my back and legs and he
came conscious that my legs were getting
weak and my step unsteady, ami then
staggered when walked. Having received
no benefit from the use of patent medicines
and feeling that | was constantly CROWN (
worse, | then, upon advice, began the use OF
electric belts, paus and all the many different
kinds of electric appliances | 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 SPA. In
the fall of 1888 the doctors advised a clauye
of climate, so | went to Atlanta, Ga, and
acted as agent for the Estey Organ Com
pany. While there took thorough cleo
trio treatment, but 1t only 'emed to aggra-
waite my disease and the only relief | could
get from the sharp and distressing lins was
TO take morphine. The pain was so in
tense at times that it seemed as though
could not stand ii, and | almost longed for
death as the on y certain relief. In Septem-
Ter of 1888 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 to the Roosevelt Hos
pital, where for four mont IS was treate |
0 by specialists and they pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia and incurabe After
: had been under treatment by Prof. Starr
and Dr. Ware for four months, they told m
they had done all they could for me. Then
went to the New York Hospital on Fiji
teenth street, where, upon examination, they
said | was incurable and would not take ms
in. AT the Presbyterian Hospital they ex
amined me and told me the same thing. II
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 sht
had better take me back home and save my
money. But wanted to make a trial o.
Prof. Huns famous skill and | remained
under his treatment for nine weeks, but Sc
cured no benefit. All this time | ha beer
growing worse. | had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down an had
lartly lost control of my han Is. The pair
were freezing and my stomach would not re
tain food, and fell away to 40 pounds
In the Albany Hospital they put seventeen
big burns on my back one day with rel ho
irons sand 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 saiC
there was no hope for me, / was brouS III
home, where it was thou yht that death woulj
soon come to relieve me of my sufferings
Last September, while in this helpless AM
suffering condition, a friend of mine il
Hamilton, Ont, called my attention to tn,
statement of one John Marshall whose cas-
had been similar to my own, and who ha,
, been cured by the use of Dr.. Williams Pin
Pills for Pale People. In this case Mr. Mar
