oveRooMs, Az LAST BY THE Ao-
VANCE oFMeolcAL SCIENCE.
The Tesiimony ofas Man Who Was
Half Dead Tor fo51 Years TO Day
as Well and Strong as,Ever.

No citizen of this village is bette
known or more highly respected thar
Theodore j. Wheeler, who has liveC
here for nearly half century. Fiv'
years ago he was stricken with pa
ralysis and was in its worst form
The physicians said that he would
surely die. But Mr.. Wheeler did no
die, aud it is to tell the readers o
the Palladium about his almost mi
raculous recovery that n reporter
called upon him.
Despite his sixty five years OF age
and the intense mental aud bodily
sillctions be has been obliged to en-
dure for nearly five years, Mr.. Wheel
er is still a tine looking man. He
answered the reporters ring at thu
door bell in person, and invited him
INTO his cozy sitting room, where be
told the following story:
alt was on the morning OF Nov. n
1883, that | was stricken down. | al.
tempted to get up in the morning as
usual, when | found that | could not
use my limbs or feet. At first
thought that they were asleep and
rubbed them briskly with my hands
for several minutes, but without re
suit. Finally | got back into bed
and sent for DR., 5. NJ. Bennett OF this
village He informed me that | had
suffered what is comp1only called a
"stroke of paralysis" l could not
believe it at first, but the numbness
continued to spread, accompanied by
a prickling sensation, until the entire
lower half OF my body, as we'll as my
legs, was affected. My bowels and
kidneys refused to perform their func-
tiJns, and | was only relieved by me-
chanical process | was not satisfied
with Dr. Beunett's diagnosis, aad sent
for DIR. Low, of Pulaski. He only
confirmed Dr. BENEFITS statement
aud advised me to get ready to die,
For six months lay in bed at the
home OF my niece, Mrs. G., A. Pen.
field, unable to turn over in bed,
hardly, aud requiring constant atten
ton and care. Finslly | grew used
to my helplessuess and would crawl
out OF bed, and getting partially
dressed woIld drag my body about
the house, using my hands like an
infant when creeping, but unable to
help my self in the least with my low
er limbs. There was not the slightest
feeling IN the lower part OF my body
and a needle thrust into my afflicted
parts would no. produce the slightest
pain This went on until eight
months ago. One day ! read in the
Palladium of Canadian gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who
had found relief in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. la the symptoms de-
sCribed by tho sufferer | read an al
most exact counterpart OF my own al
ilictions, and | determined to give
the medicine trial Before | could
hardly hope for results | began TO
feel marked improvement in my
condition. First my Kidneys and
then my bowels began again, after a
lapse of over four years, to perform
their natural functions. The numb
ness left my body aud the sense OF
feeling returned This continued un-
til the numbness had left my limbs
entirely. Now ! can go up to the
village with one cane and in the
house | go around without any. 1t
is with the gleatest OF pleasure that
/ recommend DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to the public. l know what
they have done for me aud | believe
they will help others similarly sffilct'
ed"
