from Lansingburg. We don't often get
a good thing from there. but here is one.
f. Z. Kimball last night gave me the
following:
II am plain straightforward man.
Originally from Lansingburg, where.
now reside my mother, brother and Sis
ter. Several years ago L moved to
Rochester. There was in the employ
of the Erie railroad as yard and freight
superintendent. After a strain to my
back, caused by heavy lifting, three
years ago. developed so-called rheu-
matism. 1t was an increasing thing for
two years-at times worse. again
better. l worked internationally. If
l would shut my eyes | would
fall down. My feet and legs
soon lost feeling-were numb. ThlseX
tended 10 my stomach and at times 10
my hands. Doctors Lee and Spencer,of
Rochester. finally pronounced my case
progressive locOmoior ataXia. said it was
incurable, and that they could only ease
my Sutferlngs, and so lay. Up 10 this
time L had been sick nearly two years.
Before this and for several moths |
was confined to my bed. Pins stuck
into my limbs the full length gave me
no feeling whatever; my legs seemed
wooden. To pourd them gave off
noise like wood. So | say. as | lay
there | was absolutely One-half dead
dead from the waist down. There was
one worI written i'll large CHI racterS all
over that sick rO0m-C-L-A-Y. Life
departed from my limbs, that word best
expressed what was left. You. of
course, have read of John Mar
shalt. The reporter, in describing
him, described me exactly. | sent for
the remedy which cured him for Dr.
Williams Pink Pills, to Schenectady,
n. \ :. and tried them. | took them
irregularIy for two months. They
didn't seem to nelp. All of a sudden
one morning one of my legs began 10
prickle-seemed as though rubbed with
nettleS. Then, perhaps, you think l
did not investigate that medicine. l be
gan to mend fast; got some circulation.
got control of my bowels and after few
weeks got out OF bed and tried to stand.
At last fetched it. Could walk-n0w
can run. And Pink Pills cured me-
The doctors said | couldn't be cured,
but l am. What | am now telling you

ago wrote to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Company at Schenectady, and my
affidavit to the same is now i'll their
hands. Here also is a letter which my
mother wrote to them and to which she
has made affidavit, as you See."
1S6 Second AV., IANSINGBURG, n. \.
Dear Sirs--My son Fred has just writ
ten you letter concerning himself to
which l desire to add few words In
entire confederation of all he has said.
He has told you of his agony
and his cure. The remembranceS OF
the whole thing makes me Shuduer as |
think Of it. 1t is all too wonderful for
me. l was resigned to his fate. Now as |
look at him walking about and feeling
well, with his old health and ambition
returned, it does seem that he has been
born again and rescued from death for
q fact. Could i, therefore, say too much
to you OF thanks i'll the fuilneSS of my
| gratitude? Can / well cease blessing
you? Yet the intensity Of my feelings
| make my words of thanksgiving to YOU
| seem but empty indeed; for the lost is
found and he that was dead is alive
again. Yours,
HARRIET j. KMBALL

Notary Public.
Mrs. Kimball said: "While | believe
in answers to prayer aud prayed ear
nestly for his recovery. for l. am a Chris
tian woman, and believe my prayers
were answered, L do think Pink Pills
were the means the LORD used to effect
my sons cure. 1 want you to meet my
daughter, Mrs G. IL. Morrison, with
whom we are living here, and the Rev.
George Fairlee. pastor of Westminster
Church, who lives with us, and hear
what they have to say" So Mrs. KIM
bail brought them in. and while the
itory as told was most complete and
could be added to by nothing they might
say, yet the reporter heard from the
lips of the sister and their pastor, COR
rOborative words of all that has been
said. The reporter also ran across the
son-in-law, Mr.. q. II. Morrison, cashier
| OF the National Bank of Troy, and spoke
to him of MIR. kimball. He is a busy
man and though he could only be de-
tanned for moment, he said: Il know
nothing of the case technically. He
says he was cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and L think that is about The
size of it,"
Mr.. William H FIandreau, the drug
gist at Sl4 River ST., Troy, said: ut is
| the most wonderful cure from locOmotor
| ataXia-a So-called Incurable disease.
| Mr.. Kimball tells Inc he owes his recov-
cry to Pink Pills entirely, and l have
| every reason to believe him."
Pink Pills restore pale people and
sallow compleXions to the glow OF
health, and are specific for all the
| troubles peculiar to the female sex,
while in the case of men they effect a
| radical cure i'll all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excuses of
| whatever nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the
| DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y, and Brockville,
Ont, and are sold in boxes (never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred and
| the public are cautioned against numer-
Gus limitations sold in this shape at
| 30 cents a box, or six boxes for g. 80,
and may be had of all druggists or direct
