For some time there has been an in
creasing number of stories published
in the newspapers Of New York city,
telling OF marvellous cures OF various
diseases that have been made by diff
ferent medicines aud treatments 1t
has long been the intention of the Trib-
une to investigate one OF the most in
teresting cases that could be found and
give the truth to the world as a matter
of news. Happening on the case of
Geo. L'Hommedieu the other day an in
vestigation was made with this result;
When the reporter called on Mr.
Il Hommedieu at the residence OF his
cousin, Mr.. Edward lloughtaling, 271
w. 134th ST., he said: al am 81 years
of age, and was born in Hudson, N. Y.
served my time in the army, being
corporal Of Company A, 2lst n. J.Vol-
unteers. 1t has been about fifteen years
since noticed the first symptoms of
my disease. | consulted Dr. Allen of
Yorlsville, aud also DIR. Pratt, since
deceased. DR. Pratt exhausted his
/ DONINo III my DNhhAi anu lAidllN lOlu
that he could do nothing more for me.
FINALLY was advised by Dr. Gill to
I go to the well-known scientist, Dr..
Hamilton. lie gave me q most thor
ough examination and did me no good.
| felt was growing weaker every day,
and went to the Manhattan Hospital,
at 41st St. and Park Ave, and was UNI
der treatment by DR.. Seguin. He
treated me for about three months, and
then told me that 1 had locomotor
ataXia and was beyond the aid OF med
ical science. / was now complete
physical wreck; all power, feeling and
color had left my legs, and it was i'm
possible for me to feel the most severe
pinch or even the thrust of needle.
'lf my skin was scratched there
would be no flow of blood whatever,
and it would take it fully six weeks to
heal up. In the night / would have to
feel around to find my legs. My pains
were eXciuciating and at times almost
unbearable. ! would take large doses
of morphine to deaden the pains.
About five years ago DR.. Lewis A.
Sayre of 2S5 9th Ave, made trial of
the French method of stretching the
spine, Although l received no benefit
from this treatment shall always feel
grateful to DIR. Sayre for his great in
terest and kindness.
80 severe had my case become by
this time that ! could not walk without
give up life.
II began the use of Pink Pills for
Pale People in September last. took
them rather irregularly at first with
the cold water treatment. In very
short time was convinced that 1 was
getting better and l began the use of
the pills in earnest, taking about one
box every five days.
"The first sign of improvement was
in November, 1892, when had arush
OF blood to the head and feet causing a
singing and prickling sensation,
February god, 1898, was the first time
in five years had ever seen any sign
OF blood in my feet. From this time
on began to improve. My strength
and appetite have gradually returned
now have perfect control OF my
. bowels, and the pains have gradually
/ left me. | can sit and write by the
, hour and walk up stairs by balancing
b myself with my hands. Without doubt
) am new man from the ground up,
and have every reason to believe
: that | will be hale and hearty in less
than months. have taken about | 8
l boxes of pills"
i Sworn to before me this Eleventh day
| OF March, 1898. II. L. MELVILLE,
Commissioner of Deeds.
