Sworn to before me this Eleventh day Of
March, 1898.
II. E. MELVILLE.
Commissioner of Deeds,
IsEALl New York City.
Any one having heard Mr.. LHommedieu's
narrative could not for a moment doubt its
entire truthfulness, but such remarkable story
is likely to be doubted by sceptical public, and
a safeguard against even shadow of doubt,
Notary Public was called in and both Mr.. and
Mrs. LHommedieu made affidavit to the truth
of the statement.
still greater force is added to the story by the
fact that Mr.. L Hommedieu is widely known
in business circles. His long connection with
the well-known piano firm of Marchal Smith,
2}5 Z. DIST Street, has brought him in touch
with some of the best known business men in
New York and other large cities, and his case
has created widespread interest
The reporter next called on Mr.. Robert w.
smlth,a member OF the firm of Marchal d smith.
Mr. Smith was found at his desk busily engaged
but when the reporter mentioned Mr.. L'Hom-
medieu's name and stated the nature of his
call, Mr.. Smith cheerfully gave the following
information with but little questioning ON the
part of the reporter
II have known Mr.. Geo. L'Hommedieu for
twenty years and always found him a most es-
timable gentleman, and a business man of
great energy. He became connected with our
firm as secretary in 1873, and attended strictly
to his office duties until 1851, when he was
stricken down with his trouble 1 distinctly

spasm. and we had to send him to his home in
a carriage. Even after he lost control of his
legs so great was his interest in business affairs
that he would drive TO the Office and direct the
work he had in charge. As the disease ad-
vanced he was obliged to .succumb and reluc-
family gave up his Office work. From that time
on his sufferings were almost incredible and
yet, so great was his fortitude, that he bore
them without a murmur. i know that he tried
various physicians and their treatments with
out the least success, and he states that he was
finally discharged from the Manhattan Hos
pital, and told that he was in the last stages OF
locomotor ataxia and was beyond the hope Of
human aid. About six months ago, or so, he
was advised by Mr.. James TO try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, with the cold water
treatment He commenced TO take Pink Pills
about September last, though not regularly, for
tary medicines, and was very sceptical about
their merits. So great was his improvement
that he was entirely converted and commenced
to take the pills directed. The last time
saw Mr.. LHommedieu he had gained the use
of his limbs to such an extent that he could
walk up stairs with the help of his wife, and is
now doing much important work for at his
home. ROBERT W. SMITH"

When asked to make affidavit to the story he
smiled, but expressed his perfect willingness
to do SO, If ii would induce any poor sufferer to
follow the same road that lead Mr.. L'Homme-
dieu to relief After securing the affidavit Of
Mr.. Smith, the reporter called on Mr.. A. c.
James, who has Offices and ware-rooms in the
same building. Mr.. James has known M.
LHommedieu for a number of years, and was
able TO verify all the above facts.

which was two months ago." said Mr.. James,
