From the New York Tribune.I
For some time there has been an incrcas-
Ing humber Of stories published In the
newspapers Of New York City, telling OF
marvellous cures of various diseases that
have been made by different medicines and
treatments. 1t has long been the intention
OF the Tribune to investigate one OF the
most interesting cases that could be found
and give the truth to the world as matter
of news. Happening on the case OF Geo.
LHommedieu, the other day an invests
cation was made with the following very
happy result:
| When the reporter called on MIR. L'Hom-
medieu at the residence Of bis cousin, Mr..
Edward Houehtallng, 27l w. 134th ST.,
he said: II am 81 years Of age and
was born In Hudson, N. Y. l served my
time in The army, being corporal of Company
A, 2lst N. j. Volunteers. 1t has been about
fifteen years since noticed the first symp'
toms of my disease. i consulted DIR. Allen
of Yorkville, and also Or. Pratt, since
deceased DR.. Pratt exhausted his powers
In my behalf and finally told me that he
coul' do nothing more for me.
"Finally I was advised by DR.. GIL to 90

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
under treatment by DR.. Seguin. He treated
me for about three months, and then, told
me that had locom0tor ataxia and was be-
yond the aid OF medical science. was now
a complete physical wreck; all 20 wer. feel
Ing and color had left my legs, and 1t was
impossible for me to feel the most severe
pinch or even the thrust OF needle.
IF my skin was soatched there would De
no flow Of blood whatever, and 1t would take
1t fully six weeks to heal up. In the night
/ would have to feel around to find my legs.
NV D ms were excruciating and at times al
most unbearable. l 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 received
no bent fit from this treatment shall always
feel grateful to DR.. Sayre for bis great Inter-
est and kindness.
so severe had my case become by this
time that could not walk without assist |
auce, and was lmost ready to give up life.
l 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 was getting better and
began the use of the pills In earnest, TAX
Ing about one box every five days.
1.-THE first sign OF Improvement was In
November 1892, when had rush of blood
to the head and feet causing stinging and
prickling sensation. February 22l. 1893,
seen any sign of blood In my feet. From
this time on began to improve. My strength
and appetite have gradually returned; l now
have perfect control of my bowels, and the
pains have gradually left me. l can sit and
write by the hour and walk up stairs by
myself with my hands. Without
doubt am a new man from the ground up,
and / have every reason to believe that l
will be bale and hearty IN less than
months. l have taken about y boxes of
pills."
