aally worse tor tour years. Then | began
70 have pam in my back aud legs and became
conscious that my legs We're getting weak
and my step unsteady. and then stlggtre
when walked. Having received no benefit
from the use OF patent medicines and feeling
that was constantly growing worse, tnen,
upon advice, began the USE o. electric belts

wear for which he paid $l94 In the fall Of
1883 the doctors atvlseia clnnEeo cllnate,
20 went TO Atlanta, Ca, an lacte.I as agent
Tor the Estey Organ company. While there
took a thorough electric treatment but it
only seemed to aggraVate my disease, AMI
the only relief | could get from the sharp
and distressing pains was TO take NOR
phlne. ! he pain was 50 intense at tlmeI
that it seemed as though coui not stand
It and | almost lOn5ed tor death as the only
certain relief. In September of lsNS my
legs gave out entirely and my left eye was
drawn 10 ono SIDE 50 that / had
double sight and was dizzy My
trouble so affected my whole nervous system
that had TO give up business. Then | 70
turned TO New y ork aud went 10 the Roose-
welt hospital, where for four months was
treated by specialists and they pronounced
my case loComotUr ataxla and lncurable.
After i had been under treatment by Prof.
Starr and DR.. Ware for four months, they
told me they hal done all they cOull for me.
Then went to the New York hospital on
Fifteenth street, whore, upon examination,
they said was lnCurable and would not take
me In. At the Presbyterian hospital they
examined me aud told me the same thng.
In March, lS9l, | was taken to ST. Peters
hospital in Albany, where Prof II. II. Hun
frankly told my wife my case was hopeless;
that he could do nothing for me and that
she had better take me baCt home and save
my money. But ! wanted TO make trial
OF Prof. Huns famous skill anl | RENAME |
under his treatment for nine weeks but So
cured no benefit. All this time | had been
growing worse. | had become entirely
paralyzed from my waist down AMI hal
partly lost control OF my hanis. The pain
was terrible; my legs felt rs though they
were freezing and my stomach would not re-
tam 1000, and fell away to I'D pounds
In the Albany hospital they put II big
burns on my back one day with red hot
IRONS and after few days they put IA
more burns on and treated lae with cleo
tricity, but got worse rather than better:
lost control OF my bowels and water, and
upon advice Of the doctor who sail there
was no hope for me, | was brought home,
where 1t was thought that death would soon
come TO relieve me OF my sutreringS. Last
September, while in this helpless and suffer
ing condition, friend of mine in Hamilton,
ont., called my attention to the statement
OF one John Marshall, whose case had been
similar to any own, aud who hal been cure
py the use OF DR.. WilIiams's Pink Pills Tor
Pale People
I'm this case Mr.. Marshall, who is proni-
nent member of the Royal Tempiars OF
temperance, had after four years of con-
gtant treatment by the most eminent Cana
dian physicians been pronounced incurabIe
and was paid the $1,000 total disability claim
allowed by the order in such cases, Some
months after Mr.. Marshall began a course OF
treatment with DR.. Willianis's Pink Pills
and after taking some Is boxes was fully re-
stored tohealth.
Il thought would try them, and nv wife
sent for two boxes of the pills and / took
them according TO the directions given on
the wrapper ON each box. For the first few
days the cold baths were pretty severe, as [
was so very weak, but continued to follow
instructions as to taking the pills and treat
ment, and even before | had used up the
two boxes OF pills began to feel beneficial
effects from them. My pains were not 80
bad; l felt warmer; my head felt better;
my food began TO relish and agree with me;
could straighten up; the feeling began to
come back into my limbs; | began to
DO able to get about on clutches; my eye
came back again as good as ever, and now,
after the use of eight boxes Of the pills-at a
cost OF only n. 00-see i can, with the helE
Of cane only, walk all about the house and
yard, can saw wood, and on pleasant days
walk down town. My stomach trouble is
