Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-10-13

Auburn, N. T., Bulletin: 1t is on record
that upon a chilly April day, a few years
ago, an 8 year old boy fell into the
East river at the foot of EastlEighth street,
New York, and when all efforts to rescue
him had failed, Edward Donnelly, at risk
of his W life, plunged into the water and,
when himself nearly exhausted, saved the
boy from drowning. 1t was a humane and
self sacrificing deed and received deserved
commentator in all the many newspapers
that made mention OF it. Edward Dom
nelly was then a resident of New York
City. but his wife was Amanda Grammar
of Auburn, and his sister was Mrs. Samuel
D. Cory of No. II Moravia ST., which gave
a local interest to the incident. All this
was sometime ago, and both it and Mr..
rOnneily have passed out of the mind of
your correspondent until, a few days ago,
while in Saratoga, he was shown a letter
to a friend from which he was permitted
to make the following extract:
AUBURN, n: Y, Oct. 26th, '92.
l am taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They have curedme of that terrible disease,
LocOmoter Ataxia. When [ commenced
taking them, 1 was wholly unable to work
and nearly helpless. l am now improved
so much that l have been picking apples
and wheeling them to the barn on a wheel
barrow. Yours truly,
EDWARD DONNELLY, u MOravia street.
Immediately on reaching Auburn, your
correspondent called at the above address
and found Mr.. Donnelly out in a barn
where he vas grinding apples and making
cider with a hand press and he seemed
we'll and cheerful and happy.
And then later, in the presence of his
wife and Mrs. Cory and Mrs. Taylor,
who all confirmed his statement. he told
your correspondent the story of his sick
ness and of his restoration to health by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills tor Pale
People.
II was born in Albany, N. Y, and am AZ
years old. The greatest portion of my life
l have lived in New York city. l was gen.
eral foreman there of the F. A. Mulgrew
saw mills, foot of Eighth street on the East
river. 1t was on the goth of April, 1888,
that the boy fell into the river and l res
cued him from drowning, but in saving his
life l contracted a disease which nearly
cost me my own. Why, sir, l I'm sure l
should have died long ago if Pink Pills had
not saved my life.
"You see when l saved the boy l was in
the water so long that l was taken with a
deadly chill and soon became 50 suitfened
up and weak that l could neither work
mol walk. For some time 1 was under
treatment of DR.. George Mcdonald. He fin.
ally said he could do nothing more for me
and that l had better go into the country.
On the LIST of last June, (1892) my wife and
l came up to Auburn. l was then in great
pain, almost helpless, the disease was
growing upon me and l felt that I had
come to the home of my wife and of her
sister to die.
"When the disease first came upon me
the numbness began in my heels and pretty
soon the whole of both my feet became
afflicted. There was a cold feeling across
the small of my back and downwards and
a sense of soreness and a tight pressure on
the chest. The numbness gradually ex-
tended up both legs and into the lower
part of my body. l felt that death was
creeping up to my vitals and l must say l
lOnged for the hour when it should relieve
me of my pain and misery. 1 was still
taking medicine CIT was lodide of Patas-
sum-" said his wife), and was being rub
bed and having plasters put all over my
body, but with no benefit.
"The latter part OF last June l learned of
a case cured by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. had never
heard of those blessed Pills before. but l
thought if they could cure one man of the
same disease with which l was afflicted,
perhaps they would also cure nc. So
sent to the Chas. IL. Sugar company, the
popular Auburn druggists and chemists at
100 and Ill Genesee ST., aid got three boxes
of the Pink Pills and began taking them
at once. In three weeks time I was so i'm
proved that from being helpless, l was
able to help myself and to get up and go
