and Paralysis After Suffering for
Twenty-siI Years.

A very interesting story comes
from Cape May C. H., n. j. The
chief character in the story is John
L. Steel, who has lived in that town
for thirty years, and is one OF the best
known men in Cape May County. To
a reporter MIR. Steel said: Certainly
I'll tell you the story. l am "a years
old and was first attacked with the
rheumatism twenty-six years ago. L
suffered all that mortal man could
stand. The medicine and the doc
toring l have had has cost me at the
very least, $500, but they were all
like so much water in my case.
zone day, in 1882, | was taken
with chill up and down the back.
my leg gave out at the knee and l fell
like log. Never shall l forget the
agony 1 suffered. l thought would
go crazy. could not walk. and my
leg was all drawn up at the knee and
felt as If dead. 1t was without feel
ing and without power. l called in
DR.. Alexander Young. one of our town
physicians. He cupped and blistered
me without success. l went to DR..
Downs, physician OF the old school.
DR.. Downs took my leg and pulled it
out straight, then he laid it over the
arm Of the sofa on which l was re-
clining, and from it suspended two
bricks. The pain was almost I'M
bearable. The battery was ap-
piled, and the result was
that l was just as bad as ever.
As a last resource l went to the late
DR.. Pancoast, then of Jefferson Col
lege. He pronounced my case chronic
rheumatism, and said that he could
relieve the pain but could not cure
me. He gave me sarsaparilla and
lodide of potassium, of which had
already taken a quantity. l felt that
| was going from bad to worse. The
pains were growing more intense, my
body was growing weaker and l had
to crawl up stairs on my hands and
knees. l was as white as a sheet, and
at times nearly frozen to death. |
slept under enough coverings to-
crush me, and was cold then. had
to lift my leg around wherever 1
wanted it, but at night it would twitch
and jerk as though possessed by some
fiendish power.
We'll, to cut long story short, l
read in the Philadelphia Record
of man who had been
cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The story
appeared to be an authentic account,
and with a ray of hope sent for two
boxes of Pink Pills. This was about
six months ago. As soon as l began
to take them they began to do me
good. / felt as though l had been
given fresh blood and new muscles.
When the two boxes were finished |
sent for six more, and under this
treatment continued to improve. L
began to regain the use of my limbs
and l could soon get around with the
aid of a crutch and cane Now l have
discarded the crutch. ! have an ex-
cellent appetite and feel first-class all
over. Why, Pink Pills have done
more for me than all the rest of the
medicine and doctors put together,
and my recovery is due solely to them.
have taken in all twenty boxes of
Pink Pills and you can see for your.
sel' what they have accomplished"
Suiting the action to the words Mr.
Steel placed his cane over his shout
der and walked of like a man who
had never had an hours sickness in
his life Some idea of the severity of
his case can be had from the fact that
his left leg had been shortened nearly
an inch by the ravages of the disease.
