THE REMARKABLE STORY AND AFFi-
DAvlT OF Or. LEWIS BLUNpiN.


Case of World Wide Interest.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Many survivors of our late war left
the ranks unwounded but with broken
constitutions; an instance in point, is
Lewis D. Blundin, resident of Hume
vile, Bucks Co., Pa. In relating his ex-
periences and what he had suffered in
consequence Of the hardships he had en-
countered Mr.. Blundin said:
~ was born at Bridgewater, Pa, in
1S41, and went through the war as pri-
vate, sergeant and hospital steward in
company G, 2sth Pennsylvania volun-
teers. My service was active and while
In Georgia had an attack of typhoid
fever, which left me weak and ready
victim for future disease. My kidneys
were then affected and this finally devel-
oped into spinal trouble which lasted
through my army service. In 1856 I
charge and entered the Jefferson Medi-
ical college in Philadelphia as student
graduated two years later with diplo-
ma but did not practice. At that time I
was living in Manayunk. One day, after
| had graduated, l was lying on a sofa
at my home in Manayunk, when I felt
cold sensation In my lower limbs as
though the blood had suddenly left them.
When | tried to move them I was horrl-
fled at the discovery that was paralyzed
from my hips to my toes. The paralysis
was complete and pin or pinch of the
flesh caused no pain. could not move
muscle. Gale" in Dr.. William c.
Todd of Philadelphia. He made a care
full and exhaustive examination Of my
case. sounding and testing and finally
announced that my trouble was caused
by Inflammation of the spinal cord, and
that would likely have another stroke
of paralysis. l consulted DR.. 1. w.
Gross and DR.. Pancoa,t Of Jefferson col
lege, Philadelphia, with the same result.
l called in DR.. Morehouse, of Philadel-
phia, who said that no amount of medi-
cine would ever prove of the slightest
benefit to me.
"One day last September l decided to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. sent for one box. had al
ways been troubled with sort of verti-
go after my first stroke of paralysis to
such an extent that when got out of
my bed my head would swim and had
difficulty in saving myself from falling.
My appetite was bad, digestive organs
ruined and no assimilation of food. In
addition to my many other ailments,
rheumatism held prominent place. By
the time l had finished the first box of
Pink Pills was comparatively free from
these minor ills. My appetite returned,
the digestive organs got down to their
daily grind and the rheumatism disap-
peared. / was much encouraged and
Immediately sent for half dozen boxes
of the Piuk Pills.
Relief followed upon relief with as
tonishing rapidity. First one all would
disappear, then another until the pills
got to work upon the foundation stones
Of my neutrality-suspicious.. l felt a sense
of exhilaration and the general effect
was beneficial, becoming more 80 each
day. Noting this fact, increased the
dose from one to two pills after each
meal for few days. Before / had taken
my chair one afternoon, when felt Gu
rious sensation in my left foot. Upon
investigation, found it had fiexed, or,
in other words, become movable, and
could move it. From that time on nv
improvement was steady and it was not
long before l was walking around on
crutches with little or no discomfort. 1t
was three years before taking the Pink
Pills that had been able to use the
crutches at any time. My health is dali
~ improving and l feel sure that Pink
Pills have done me more good than all
the doctors and all the medicine in the
country and as they are not costly ! can
easily afford the treatment"
Mr.. Blundin tells Of another remark
able cure effected by the use of Pink
Pills. One of his comrades in the army
was Lewis j. Allen, of Battle Creek,
Michigan, who has been sufferer from
rheumatism nearly all his life. Mr.. AL
len is grandson of Ethan Allen of Rev.
dictionary fame. IL know" said Mr..
Blundin, "that Mr.. Allen could not lift
his arms to his head, or even his hands
to his mouth, because of chronic rheu-
matism. He read in Detroit paper of
wonderful cure made by Pink Pills and
bought box. His cure was sudden and
complete. Knowing that was suffer-
er from rheumatism, along with nv
other ills, he wrote me about his recoy-
cry and advised me to try them. / was
then using them. He said he had per-
feet control Of his arms and hands and
could use them freely without experienc.
ing any pain. He added that as a cure
IOr rheumatism the pills were the most
complete in the world. My case alone
proves that, for am confident that nv
greatly benefited condition is due solely
