Volunteers. My service was active
and while in Georgia had an attack
OF typhoid fever, which left me weak
and a ready victim for future disease:
NV kidneys were then affected and
this finally developed into spinal trou-
BILE which lasted through my army SER
vice. In 1866 l was mustered out
with an honorable discharge and en-
tered the Jefferson Medical College In
Philadelphia as student. | gradu-
ated two years later with diploma
but did not practice. At that time l
was living in Manayunk. One day,
after had graduated, l was lying on
sofa at my home in Manayunk, when
! felt a cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had sudden

/ them | was Mortified at the discovery
that was paralyzed from my hips TO
my toes. The paralysis was complete
and pin or a pinch OF the flesh caused
no pain. / could not move muscle.

exhaustive examination OF my case,

such an extent that when l got out OF
my bed my head would swim and l
had difficulty in saving myself from
falling. My appetite was bad, diges-
tive organs ruined and no assimilation
OF food. In addition to my many other
ailments, rheumatism held a promi-
nent place. By the time | had finished
the first box of Pink Pills | was COM
paratively free from these minor Ills.
Relief followed upon relief with as
tonishing rapidity. First one all would
disappear, then another until the pills
got to work upon the foundation stones
