A LANSINGBURG MIRACLE.
A Railway Man Talks.


(fr0m Troy, ~. Y. Itmes)
am the most conservative reporter on
the staff. | despise the chimerical, court
the real. burrow in facts. | am from
Lansingburg. We don't often get good
thing from there, but here is one. +. @.
Kimball last night gave me the following:
81 am a plain straightforward man.
Originally from Lansingburg, where now
reside my mother, brother and sister.
| Several years ago | moved to Rochester.
There was in the employ of the Erie rail
road as yard and freight superintendent.
After strain to my back, caused by heavy
| lifting, three years ago, ] developed So
called rheumatism. 1t was an increasing
| thing for two years--at times worse, again
better. | worked internationally. If
| would shut my eyes | would fall down.
| My feet and legs soon lost feeling-were
numb. This extended to my stomach and
at times to my hands. Doctors Lee and
Spencer of Rochester finally pronounced
my case progressive locomotor alta Xia, said
it was incurable, and that they could only
| ease my sufferings, and so | lay. Up to
this time had been sick nearly two years.
Before this and for several months | was
confined to my bed. Pins stuck into my
limbs the full length gave me no feeling
| whatever; my legs seemed wooden. To
pound them gave off noise like wood.
So say, as lay there was absolutely Que
| half dead-dead from the waist down.
There was one word written in large char
acters all over that sick room-C-L-A-Y.
Life departed from my limbs that word
best expressed what was left. You, of
course, have read of John Marshall. The
reporter, in describing him, described me
exactly. L sent for the remedy which
cured him-for DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
to Schenectady, N. Y, and tried them. |
took them irregularly for two months.
They didn't seem to help. All of a sudden
one morning one of my, legs, began TO
prickle-seemed as though rubbed with
nettles. Then, perhaps, You think l did
not investigate that medicine. | began TO
mend fast; got some circulation, got con-
troll of my bowels and after II few weeks
got out of bed and tried to stand. At last
l fetched it. Could walk-now can run.
And Pink Pills cured me. The doctors
said couldn't be cured, but ! am. What
am now telling you is merely a reltera'
ton of what long ago wrote to the DR..
, Williams Medicine Company at Schenec
tady, and my affidavit to the same is now
in their hands. Here also is a letter which
my mother wrote to them and to which
she has made affidavit, as you see."

Dear My son Fred has just writer
} you letter concerning himself to which
. desire to add a few words i'll entire corrob
Grafton Of all he has said. He has told yot
, of his agony and his cure. The remem
branee of the whole thing makes mt
q shudder as think Of it. 1t is all too won
derful for me. | was resigned to his fate
: | Now as look at him walking about ant
feeling we'll, with his old health and ambi
q ton returned, it does seem that he has beef
q born again and rescued from death for
Q fact. Could |, therefore, say too much :,
: you of thanks in the fulness of my graft
q tude? Can well cease blessing your Ye
' the intensity of my feelings make m,
y words of thanksgiving to you seem bu
& empty indeed; for the lost is found, and b
= that was dead is aliye again. Yours,
HARRIET J.. KIMBALL.

Mrs. Kimball said. while believe il
s answers to prayer and prayed earnestly fo
/ his recovery, for am a Christian woman
|. and believe my prayers were answered,
q do think Pink Pills were the means tn
2 Lord used to effect my sons cure. ! war
e you to meet my daughter, Mrs. q. H. Mo
ii rison, with whom we are living here, an
the Rev. George Fairlee, pastor of Yves
minister Church, who lives with us, an
hear what they have to say" So Mr.
Kimball brought them in, and while I'll
s story as told was most complete and coul
be added to by nothing they might say, "
S the reporter heard from the lips of th
d sister and their pastor, corroborative wore
ID of all that has been said. The reporter ais
ran across the son-in-law, Mr.. G. H. Mo
lie rison, cashier of the National Bank of Tro!
a. and spoke to him of Mr.. Kimball. He
rs a busy man and though he could only
err detained for moment, he said: II kno
lie nothing of the case technically. He say
lie he was cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pill
re and think that is about the size of it.
g. Mr.. William II. Flandreau, the druggi
at at s14 River St., Troy, said: ut is the mo
I'd wonderful cure from locomOtor ataxia-
1t so-called incurable disease. Mr.. kimba
k. tells ME he owes his recovery to Pink Pill
n entirely and have every reason to belize
ir him."
IN Pink Pills restore pale people and sallo
tn compilations to the glow of health, and a
is a specific for all the troubles peculiar
the female sex, while in the case of mt
they effect radical cure in all cases AR
ing from mental worry, overwork or c
cesses of whatever nature.
