Last summer Mr. ID. L, Allyn Of this
place, worked for the b. & M. r. r. as a
section hand, on the section extcndiu.
east from Tccunsch, the county seat of
Johnson County, Neb. On the second
day OF July he met with an accident that
nearly cost him his life lie aud five 9TH
err men were working handcar in front
of which was push ear. Mr.. Allyn was
standing on the front part of the car, with
his back towards the direction In which
the car was being run. just as the two
cars came together, the foreman ordered
him to step from the car on which they
were riding on to the push car, and at the
same time signaled another of the men
to apply the brake, which Stacked their
speed enough to cause a gap Of few
feet between the cars.
In stepping back to comply with the
order he fell upon his back in the middle
of the railroad track and the car, with its
load of five men, tools and water key, in
all weighing fully ton, passing over
him. A rod ON the under side of the car
caught his foot and doubled him up so
that his feet struck his face. AS he rolled
over, the pull-wheel struck his back and
inflicted the injuries that came so near
proving fatal. The car was raised from,
the rails and thrown off the track.
He was carried to town and DIR. Sny-
der, the B. & M. R. r. surgeon at Te-
cumseh, was summoned. Afterwards
DR.. C. C. Gafford. DR.. Yoden and DR..
Waters, all of Wymore, Neb., were called
in consultation, but they could afford no
relief. About the LIST of October he be-
came paralyzed from his waist down.
The sense of feeling entirely left his legs,
which became drawn one across the 9TH
er. DIR. Livingston of Plattsmouth,
Neb., the head physician of the B. & M.
X. R. system was summoned to treat
the case, but finally Informed his patient
that he could not live to see July, 1898.
He had not the means to pay the expen-
ses of law suit against the railroad COM
pany, but the company's attorneys very
willingly compromised the claim for dam
ages by paying him $4,000. His condi-
ton continued to grow worse, the excru-
ciating pain in his back never ceasing,
until upon the recommendation and by
the request of a lady fiiend, Mrs. w. G.
Swan of Tecumseh, Neb., he began TAX
ing Pink Pills for Pale People. To the
Herald reporter he said, II had no more
faith In them than l would have had in
eating handful of dirt" He commenc-
ed taking the pills on the I'd
day Of February, taking one after each
meal, and in 10 days time, to his surprise
and intense delight, the pain began to
leave him. For seven months he had
suffered continuously, and his Joy when
relief came can be imagined but not dcs-
cribed. He continued taking the Pink
Pills until the fore part of May. About
the middle of March he could go about
his ordinary work without any inconven-
fence. He considers himself entirely
cured and feels as well as he ever aid
except that his back is not as strong as
it was before he was hurt.
This spring he moved on to farm II
miles south of Wallace, where he has
planted good crop Of corn and is doing
all his work without any hired help.
Should any one doubt the statement here
in made, they are invited to see him
personally or write to him, and address
him at Wallace, Neb. He is thankful
for what Pink Pills have done for him,
and is willing to 90 to some trouble to
let others know of their wonderful cura.
