A NEW JERSEY MIRACLE.
Helpless for Years with Locomotor At
aka and Rheumatism His Case
Pronounced Hopeless by the Lead
mo PHYSICIANS of Sussex Co

The busy little village of Branchville,
N. j., has been the scene of a modern
miracle. Charles f. SUruble, a well
known and prosperous farmer, living
on Homestead Farm, in frankfort
Township, a few miles from Branch
vile, is Just now the chief subject of
discussion throughout Sussex county.
The Press Is always up to date in its
news, both political and medical, and
has procured the following from Mr..
Struble's own lips:
II have been troubled with rheuma-
tism off and on for % years. [ have
tried all kinds Of medicines and treat
ments. l have taken sulphur baths at
Hamburg, N. j., Newton, N. j., and in
New York City, with a doctor who
charged me 81. 50 a bath each day. An
English doctor treated me with a gal
vanic battery at Rockaway, Morris
Co., N. Y. | have tried many doctors.
None of them did me any permanent
good. I used all kinds of linimants [
could hear Of but without avail.
about two years ago [ was taken
much worse and my doctor said l had
lOcOmOtOr ataxia of the spine, and that
the chances were against me. After
treating for a time, he finally gave me
up and said he had done all he could
for me-.
THE cords OF my limbs were drawn
tight as the cords on a kettle drum,
and [ had such cramps in my limbs
that l suffered terrible pain. My feet
were cold all the time. [ had to use a
hot water bag and heated bricks 10 my
feet, but even then / could not get any
relief.
"Finally 1 heard Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and | com
meaced taking them on Feb. 55h, 1898,
I found IN three days time that the
cords IN my legs began to let up ny
feet began to get warm, [ began to eat
and sleep well, and in one month [ had
gained SIX pounds. The numbne8s in
my limbs began to leave me too, and
to day l feel like d new mar. and can
not say too much in praise of Dr.. VII
Hams Pink Pills. l am able to walk
| and do some work, and all this is after
using only nine boxes Of Pink Pills. I
feel sO.grateful for my recovery that /
am glad to let the public know what
these pills have done for me-"
In order to emphasize his story, Mr..
Strublo made the following afidayit:
Sworn and subscribed before me this
thirteenth day of April, A. D., 1893.
IRA COSs, Justice of the Peace.
Justice COes evidenced his interest
and good feeling by the following Ger
tiiCate:
hereby certify that all Mr.. S5ruble
| says regarding his rheumatic and other
troubles | believe to be true and correct.
IRA COsS, Justice of the Peace.
On the farm with Mr.. Struble live
his two adult sisters. Miss Annie NJ.
Struble made the following statement:
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
| People have done wonderful things for
| my brother. He was in q helpless con
dition when | left him on Jan. 18th
last, and when | returned on March
25th. I found him cured. The most re-
markable thing about the case" she
continued, lis the curing Of his lame
ness. Of course I wanted to know all
about the cause of such a wonderful
change, and | learned from him and
my Sister and others, that during my
absence he had been using the Pink
Pills. aud that his recovery was at
tributed solely to them"
Miss Mary E SJruble said: II saw
my brother IN ell the stages of the dis
ease. He began improving as soon as
he began taking the Pink Pills. When
my sister went away in January he
! was apparently at deaths door and no.
body seemed to have any hope for him.
He certainly had little or none for him
s. If, and he was very Respondent in
spite Of all efforts to cheer him. He
declared that he felt better as soon as
he began taking the Pink Pills, and to
ore who, like myself, was attending
him day by day, there could be no
dOub5 that they and they alone were
the cause Of his improvement. Why
all other things he had tried he had
abandoned, for they had failed to do
him the slightest good. What else
could have put him on his feet again9
We don't wonder at his enthusiasm for
the Pink Pills
George J. Bowman, the proprietor
Of the American Hotel at Branchvllle,
said: All that Mr.. Stru0le saws in
reference to the Pink Pills I know to
be true. In fact he can't say too much
about them for them for they have un
dOubtedlY saved his life"
At the Branchville drug store chief
clerk Henry Baemerremarked, "Ibave
no doubt that Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
have cured Mr.. Struble." Joseph II.
Mcdonald, the proprietor Of the Cen
er&lSfOTe. OF Branchviile, and POstmas-
ter Knox, expressed themselves in
similar terms.
Pink Pills for many years previous
to their general manufacture were used
as g prescription, At first they we're
chiefly prescribed for impure blood
and general weakness. Now they are
found to be a never failing specific for
such diseases as locOmOtor ataxia, O.
