One day last February came Mr.. Mar.
shalrs salvation although he did not ac-
cept it at first. A small pamphlet tell
ing of DR.. Williams Pink Pills and the
diseases they cured, wa thrown into the
house, but it was placed aside and no
notice taken of it for weeks. One day
the sick man reread the circular and con-
Guided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
although Mrs. Marshall tried hard to
dissuade him, saying they would be as
Intellectual as all the others; but on April
l4-memorable day to him-Mr. Mar
shall began to take the pills, one after
meals for a start. In afew days a change
was noticed and as he continued to take
the pills he gradually improved and in a
little over a month he was able to take
the train for Toronto and visit an aston
ished brother-in-law. Now he can walk
four or five miles with any of his friends.
A Globe representative paid a visit to
the house of the a thus rescued from
q living death. When the reporters
mission was explained, Mr.. Marshall's
face lighted up with a smile, which
caused a responsive one to rise upon the
features Of his wife, and he expressed
his perfect willingness to tell all that
was asked of him.
"Why, I feel a better man now than l
did ter years ago." said he, cheerfully.
"It's four years next August since I
did a days work but I guess I can soon
make a start again. About my illness?

hurting my back. kept getting worse
until l could't get off a chair without
a stick or crutches. The lower part of
my body and legs were useless. tried
every doctor and every patent medicine,
spending hundreds of dollars. Every
thing that was likely to help me I got,
but 1 might as we'll have thrown it in the
bay. 1 suppose my wife has shown you
the apparatus I used at one time or an
other. A dozen city doctors gave me up.
1 got enough electric shocks for a half
dozen men, but they did me no good.
I lost control of my bowels and water
and couldn't sleep without morphine.
During the day my legs were cold and I
had to sit by the stove wrapped in q
blanket, suffering intense agony from
nervous pains in the legs, neck and head.
Yes, I received from the Royal Templars
a $1,000 check, being declared totally
unable to follow my employment. One
day in April I took a notion to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills, carefully following
the directions accompanying each box.
1 recovered my appetite and regained
control of my bowels and water, and I
went on getting better and stronger and
now you see me stronger and more heal

taken ill. I tell you I am feeling first

legs vigorously and gave the lower part
of his back a good humping, afterwards
going up and down the room at q lively
gait.

haven't such q thing as a pain or ache
about me, and another thing, I can walk

MI. Marshall offered to make an aft
davit to the truth of the above story,
but the reporter considered that wholly
unnecessary. He carried conviction to
the inquirer's mind by every word and
action, and there was no gainssyiug the
fact that the cure was one Of the most
marvellous in the nineteenth century.
All the neighbors bore testimony to the
genuineness of the cure. None of them
ever expected to see Mr.. Marshall on his
feet again and regarded his restoration
to health as nothing short of marvellous.
