The wonderful experience Of Samuel J.
Hart Of Frankford has set the whole
Twenty-third ward talking.
Mr.. Hart and his wife conduct a dry
goods store at 1861 Frankford-ave. He
Is about seventy years Of age, Is a pioneer
IN the Frankfort district. He fought for
the Union bravely throughout the war
with Col Gray's gallant regiment, the
Tweaty-eiglth Pennsylvania Volunteers.
ana Is leading member Of the Phil j.
hearney Post No. 55, c.. 4. II. He also
belongs to ShackamaXon Tribe No 1l6 OF
the Improved Order Of Rad Men, the
Knights OF Pythlas, and numerous other
organizations. Here is the story he told
a reporter of his wonderful cure which
has startled Frankford.
six years ago while I was working at
my trade as a carpenter, l fell down
stairs and fractured my skull, sprained
my spine in two places and sustained
other serious injuries. 1 was picked up
for dead, carried home and laid for thir-
teen months utterly unconscious OF my
surroundings, in fact 1 was out of my
mind. Then / had my skull trephined az
the Hahnemann hospital" here Mr.. Hart
exhibited a small portion Of his own skull
bone which he carries as a pocket piece.
and began to improve, but my spine
gave me a great deal Of trouble and
eventually resulted in locomotor ataxia.
First found that 1 could not walk with
out two canes, | became so bent that l
felt like a living Interrogation point AL
though 1 was under treatment by a skilled
physician l grew rapidly worse.
"On Feb. II last" continued Mr. Hart,
I was suddenly seized with locomotor
ataXia. Both my legs below the knees
were numb and completely paralyzed ard
l had painful sensation about the hips.
l fell and was confined for about five
months in an invalid chair Besides the
paralysis Of my lower limbs 1 suffered
eXcruciating pains in my back and legs,
could not sleep soundly, my nerves were
completely upset and my appetite went
back on me. 1 would frequently go sew
eral days without eating a mouthful Of
food. Once l tried TO raise myself in the
crutches but 1 fell helpless forward and
would have struck the floor had not the
doctor seized me. He told me never 10
try TO walk again. Then I was seized
with frightful convulslons which came on
at intervals.
"One day last June happened to read
IN a newspaper Of a remarkable cure, eff
fected by Dr. williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, Of man up in Maine suf-
FERN from locomotOr atayia. I told my
wife about il, we both agreed that 1t
would do no harm to try the pills and we
got a supply. Before l had finished the
first lot l was able to leave my invalid
chair. The life blood again coursed
through my once dead legs, and / put
the chair UP IN the garnet. Ii has been
there ever since. 1 have steadily improved
ever since and my legs are now IS sound
as a dollar. Ny form IS more erect and I
walk with the same springy motion that
had when 1 was twenty-five years old.
Let me give you an instance Of my &C
tivity."
He picked up a cane. held it with both
hands slight distance apart and hoped
through 1t and back again with the agilitN
OF schOolboy. That is something very
few young men can do, he said, with a
touch Of pride in his tone.
Il suffer no more pain in my Hmb," ne
resumed, but my fractured skull gives
me some trouble. 1 have severe pains IN
the head, beyond these I am a we'll man.
and l ascrbe my recovery entirely to DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Again / repeat beyond the pain in my
head I feel ike a young man."
I, Samuel J. Hart, Of Frankfort. Phila-
delphia county, Penna., do certify that the
above statement is correct and true in
every particular.
