Yours truly, EDWARD DoNNELLY,
Il Moravia St.. Auburn n. Y.
| Immediately reaching Auburn. your cor
! respondent called at the above address and
! found Mr. Donnclly out in barn, where he
was grinding apples and making cider with a
! hand-press, and he seemed we'll and cheerful
and happy.
| Morava Street is one of the pleasant sub
urban streets of Auburn, and No. II is about
! the last honse on it before reaching the open
! country, and nearly two miles from the busi-
ness center OF the city.
why, yes" said Mr.. Dounelly. come into
/ the house; | will tell you all about 10 ? case
! and how Pink Pills cured me- and will be glad
| to do it and have it printed for the benefit of
! Others for | am sure | owe my restoration to
! health and happiness wholly to those simple
| but wonderful Pills. And then, ia the pres
ence of his wife and Mrs. Cory and Mrs Tay-
! lor, who all confirmed his statement, he told
| your correspondent the story of his sickness.
! and of his restoration to health by the use of
| DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
al was born in Albany, n. Y, and am 42
/ years old. The greatest portion of my life
! / have lived in New York City. | was general
| foreman there Of the'F. A. Mulgrew Saw Mills,
! foot of Eighth Street, ON the East River. 1t
was the 29tl of April. 1889. that the boy
! fell into the river and / rescued him from
drowning, but in Swing his life contracted
q disease which nearly cost me my own. Why,
sir, am sure should have died long ago If Pink
Pills had not saved my life, and | wouldn't
have cared then, for my snfferings were so
great that death would have been a blessed
relief; but now thank God / am well man
again aud free from pain, and able to work and
to be happy.
lyon see when / saved the boy / was in the
water SO long that was taken with n deathly
chill and soon became so stiifened up and weak
that | could neither work walk. For some
time / was under treatment OF DIR. George Nc
: i
more for HE, and that had better go into the
country. On the lst of last June 1892, my
wife and came up to Auburn. / was then
in great pain, almost helpless, the disease was
growing upon me, and felt that had come
TO the home OF my wife aud Of her sister
TO die.
when the disease Grst came upon me the
numbness began in my heels, and pretty soon
the whole OF both my feet became affected.
There was cold feeling across the small of
my back and downwards, and q sense of sore
ness aud tight pressure on the chest. The
nnmbness gradually extended up both legs
and into the lower part Of my body. / felt
that death was creeping up to my vitals, and
| must say / longod for the hour when lie
should relieve me of my pain and misery. l
was still taking the medicine {" It WAS Iodide
Of Potassium" said his wife,, and was being
rubbed and having pasters put ali over my
body, but with 10 benefit.
me latter part OF laSL June L leGrne0 OF
the case of Mr.. Chas. QUAINT, OF Galway in
Saratoga County, cured by the use of DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills for Pale People. / had never
heard OF those blessed Pills before, but |
thought if they could cure Mr. QUAINT of the
same disease with which ] was afflicted, per-
hapS they would also cure me. So sent to the
Chas. ii. Sugar Company, the popular Auburn
druggists and chemists at 100 and III Genesee
ST, and got three boxes of the Pink Pills, and
began taking them ut once, following all the
directions closely In three weeks time was
so improved that from being help less / was
able to help myself and to get up and go to
work, and to walk every day from No. IA
Walnut ST., where then lived to Osbornes
New Irvine Factory, Seymour and Cottage SITS.
(more than a mie) where was then employed,
but all the while was taking Pink Pills.
Then DIR. Patchen, of Wisconsin,, uncle of
my wife. and who was here on visit, began to
poo-poO at me for taking Pink Pills and finally
persuaded me TO stop taking them and to let
him treat me. When he returned to the West
he left prescription with Dr. Hyatt of Auburn,
who also treated me. But their treatment did
me 10 good, and after q while the old trouble
returned and was getting bad again. Then
l began again to take Pink Pills; have taken
them ever since, am taking them now; have
taken III all nearly 20 boxes, at an entire cost
Of less than $1,000 (my other treatment cost
me pile of money, and again am well and
able to work.
In New York Dr. Mcdonald said my dis
ease was Locomotor Ataxia. He treated me by
striking me on the knees without giving me
pain; by having me try to walk with my eyes
closed; by trying to stand first one foot and
then on the other. but couldn't do it; and so
after while he said had Loeomotor Ataxia
and was incurable, aud that i had better go
into the country among my friends, who would
make the remaining days of my life as COM
Portable as possible and give me kind attend
ance. Well, came, rather was brought
from New York into the country, bnt instead
of dying / am well man, nearly as well as
ever before in my life. Pink Pills did it. If
/ WAS able l would, at my own expense, pub
lish the virtues of DIR. Williams Pink Pills to
the whole world and especially in New York
City, where l am much better known than
am here" 10 Ese
Another thngY said Mr.. Donnelly, Il am
sure that the Pink Pills for Pale People land
they are well named} are the best remedy for
impure blood and the best blood maker in The
world. Why, when was sick and before |
took them, if | cut myself the very little blood
that came from the wound thin and pale |
and watery. few days ago | accidentally cut |
nay hand slightly aud bled like pig, and the |
blood was bright red. Just look at the blood |
III the veins of my hands" So indeed they |
were, and his checks also wore the ruby !
Hush OF health, with which only good blood |
ana plenty OF it canIp paint the human face
