Fulletin
Auburn IN. Bulletin.

Auburn (N.Y.) Bulletin
1t is on record that upon chilly April
day few years ago an eight-year-old boy
fell into the East River at the foot Of East
Eighth street, New York, and when all eff
forts to rescue him had failed Edward Dom
nelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into
the water and, when himself nearly eX-
hausted, saved the boy from drowning. 1t
was humane and self-sacrifcing deed, and
received deserved commentator in all the
many newspapers that made mention of 1t.
Edward Donnelly was then a resident of
New DIRK City, but his wife was Amanda
Grantman of Auburn and sister, Mrs. Sam
uel ID. Cory Of No. II MOravia street,
which gave local Interest TO the incident.
All ms was some time ago, and both ii and
Mr.. Donnelly have passed out of the mind
OF your correspondent until, a few days
ago, while in Saratoga, lie was shown
letter TO friend, from which he was per-
mltted to make the following extract:
AUBURN. N. Y. Oct. 20, 1892.

ease, L0comotOr Ataxia When | com
menced taking them l was wholly unable
to work and nearly helpless. l am now
improved so much that | have been picking
apples and wheeling them TO the barn on 4
wheelbarrow. Yours truly,
II MOrayla ST.. Auburn, n. Y.
Immediately on reaching Auburn your
correspondent called at the above address
and found Mr.. DOnnelly out in barn,
where he was grinding apples and making
cider with 4 h6nd-pTess, and he seemed
well and cheerful and happy.
Moravla street is one of the pleasant SUBJ
urban streets of Auburn, and No. II is
about the last house on 1t before reaching
the open country. and nearly two miles
from the business center of the city.
why, yes." said Mr. DonneIly, come
into the house. / will tell you all about my
case aud how Pink Pills cured me, and will
be glad TO do 1t and TO have il printed for
the benefit of others. for | am sure l owe
my restoration to health and happiness
wholly to those simple but wonderful pills"
And then in the presence of his wife and
Mrs. Cory and Mrs. Taylor. who all con-
firmed his statement, he told your CORE
spondent the story of his sickness aud of
his restoration to health by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills fo: Pale People.
Il was born in Albany, n. Y, and am 40
years old. The greatest portion Of my life
L have lived in New York City. ! was gen.
eral foreman there of the +. 4. Mulgrew
snwmills, foot of Eighth street, on the East
River. 1t was on the 29th of April 1889,
that the boy fell into the river and / rescued
him from drowning, but in saving his life
contracted disease which nearly cost me
my own. Why. sir, l am sure ! should have
died long ago If Pink Pills had not saved
my life, and | wOnldn't have cared then for
my sutfetiEgs were 50 great that death
would have been blessed relief; bat, now,
thank God, l am well man again and free
from pain and able TO work and TO be happy.
You see when l saved tire boy | was in
the water 50 long that l was taken with q
deathy chill and soon became so stiffened
M and weak that l could neither work nor
walk. For some time | was under treat
ment of DR.. George Mcdonald. lie finally
said he could do nothing more for me and
that | had better 90 into the country. On
the 1st OF June, 1892, my wife and | came
up TO Auburn. l was then in great pain,
almost helpless, the disease was growing
upon me. and l felt that had come to the
home Of my wife and of her sister to die
when the disease first came upon me
the numbness began In my heels, and pretty
soon the whole Of both my feet became
affected. There was cold feeling across
the small of my back and downward and a
sense OF soreness and tight pressure on
the chest. The numbness gradually ex-
tended up both legs and into the lower part
of my body. ] felt that death was creeping
up to ms vitals, and | must say | longed for
the hour when he should relieve me of my
pain and misery. | was still taking the
medieine-cit was iodide of potassium
said his wifel-aud was being rubbed and
having plasters put all ever my body, but
with no benefit.
"The latter part of last June l learned of
the case If Mr.. Charles QUAINT OF Galway,
in Saratoga County, cured by the use Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. |
had never heard of these blessed pills be-
fore, but | thought il they could cure Mr..
QUAINT OF the same disease with which was
afflicted perhaps they would also cure me.
So | sent to the Ch8s. II. Sugar Company,
the popular Auburn druggists and chemists
at :09 and Ill Genesee street, and got three
boxes of the Pink Pills and began taking
them al once, following all the directions
closely. In three weeks time | was so I'M
proved that from being helpless 1 was able
10 help myself and to get up ana go to work
and TO walk every day from "A Walnut
street, where | then lived, to Osborne's
New Irvine Factory, Seymour and Cottage
streets (more than mlle), where | was
then employed, but all the while l was
taking Pink Pills.
"Then DR.. Patchen of Wisconsin, uncle
of my wife, and who was here on a visit
began to poo poo at me for taking Pink
Pills and finally persuaded me TO stop tax
ing them and to let him treat me. When he
returned TO the West he left prescription
with DIR, Hyatt OF Auburn, who also treated
me. But their treatment did me no good
and after while the old trouble retained
and | was getting bad again. Then | began
again to take Pink Pills; have taken them
ever since; am taking them now; have
taken in all nearly twenty boxes, at the en-
tire cost of less than $40 (my other treat
ment cost ME pile of money!, and again
am well ana able to work.
In New York DIR. Mcdonald said nv
disease was L0cOmotor Ataxia. He treated
me by striking me on the knees without
giving me pain; by having me try to walk
with my eyes closed; by trying to stand
first on one foot and then on the other, but
L could't do 1t and SO after while lie said |
had Loeomotor AtaXia and was incurable,
and that had better go into the country
among my friends who would make the few
remaining days Of my life as comfortable as
possible and give me kind attendance.
Wen, came, or rather was brought from
New York into the country, but instead of
dying am we'll man, nearly as we'll as
ever before in my lie. Pink Pills did it.
If was able | would, at my own expense,
publish the virtues of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills 10 the whole world and especially in
New York City, where | am much better
known than | am here.
Another thing" said Mr.. Donnelly, 81
am sure that the Pink Pills for Pale People
(and they are we'll named) are the best
remedy for impure blood and the best blood
maker In the world. Why, when | was sick
and before | took them, If cut myself the
very little blood that came from the wound
was thin and pale and watery. few DAYS
ago accidently cut my hand slightly and /
bled like pig and the flood was bright
red. Just look at the bloc in The veins of
my hands" So indeed they were and his
cneeks also wore the ruby flush of health
with which only good blood and plenty of
II can paint the human face.
Your correspondent again called upon
Chas. ii. Sugar CO., at their request. They
were much interested in the case and cure
by use OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and told
of several 0thsr instances, which had come
to their knowledge, where the use of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills had proved effiea-
elOus in making most wonderful cures.
These pills contain in condensed form
all the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfailing
