From the Syracuse Standard
During the past few months there
have appeared i'll the columns Of the
Standard the particulars OF number
of cures SO remarkable as to justify the
term miraculous. These cases were in
vestigated and vOuchod for by the
Albany Journal, the Detroit News, AL
bany Express, and other papers whose
reputation Is q guarantee that the
facts were as stated. Different schools
Of medicine and some of the brightest
lights in the profession had treated
these cases, un5ucccssfully; and their
recovery later on, therefore, and its
means, have created q profound Sen5a-
ton throughout the country.
The Standard has published the
above accounts for what they were
worth, and are happily able to supple
mont same to-day by an equally strik-
in Madison County, at Solsville, and
the subject is Mr. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following:
81 will be 10 in September [ was
born in Brookfield. Madison County,
where all my life was spent until re-
Gently. when, becoming helpless, [
came to live with my daughter here.
My life occupation has been that Of a
farmer. | was always we'll and rugged
until two years ago last winter, when
had the grip. When it left me [ had
sensation of numbness in my legs,
which gradually grew to be stiff at the
joint and very painful. J. felt the Stiff
ness in my feet first, and the pain and
the stiffness extended to my knees and
to my hip joints, and to the bowels and
stomach, and prevented Digestion To
move the bowels [ was compelled to
take great quantities Of castor oil.
while [ was in this condition, cold
feelings would begin in my feet and
streak up my legs to my back and
would follow the whole length Of my
back bone. [ could not sleep, [ had no
appetite, [ became helpless. When in
this condition [ was treated by num-
Der OF prominent physicians. They
did me no good. | soon became per-
fectly helpless and lost all power of
motion even in my bed"
The physicians consulted pro-
nounced father case creeping paraiy-
sis, said Mr.. and Mrs johnson, and
when we brought him home ne had to
be carried all the way in bed. The
doctors said they could only relieve
the pain, and for the purpose he took
a pint of whisky a day for three
months, and morphine in great guam
titles. When he began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills Tor Pale PeO-
pie we stopped giving him morphine
or any other medicine, and cut off all
stimulants. In ten days after father
began taking the pills, he could get
CUT of bed and walk without assistance,
and has continued to improve until
now he walks about the house and the
streets by the aid Of cane only"
Yes, said Mr.. Hyde, land the pain
has gone out of my back and the numb
ness out of my legs. [ have no more
chills, my digestion is good, and [ have
an excellent appetite" And then, after
a pause, But, ah, me, am an old man;
| have seen my best days, and cannot
hope to recover my old vigOr as a
younger man might, but / am SO thank
full to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains.
