City boiler Inspector - Stricken

by the Most Eminent Specialists.
Yet Ho Recovered.


From IL Btssk EEsRiA6 EttoL
There arc bat few classes Of men in
the United States whose calling subiects
them to sudden changes Of temperature
that at times will vary in degrees that
reach into the hundreds. Boiler in
speetors, probably have more Of this 70
contend with than auy other single
class Of men in the country and they,
sooner OF later, feel the effects Of It, and
not q email number Of them have died
at an AGO when they should really Do
gin to enjoy the fruits Of their labor.
Paralysis Of the spine Is one OF the
fruits OF gu expert knowledge Of steam
boilers. In the coolest season Of the
year, tho expert IL required 70 90 into a
boiler room and inspect the boilers
while the temperature is crowding the
mercury up into the hundreds. When
his work IL done. no puts on his coat
and goes out in tho cold. The result Is
easily imagined.
For the past seventeen yearS, Mr.. John
Bird, ono OF the best known men OF Jer-
sey city, has been an inspector for the
Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Com
pany. About two years ago ho began
10 suffer with pains in the small OF his
back, but at first paid but little atten-
ton 10 1t, thinking that 1t was nothing
more than severe cold. or at worst an
attack OF rheumatism. He went about
his work as usual aud the pain became
more intense. Finally he became so
bad that no could scarcely use hts limbs
at all.
He called In Dr. Varick, Of Jersey
City, who after a thorough examination
refused point blank TO attend him. DO
advised Mr. Bird TO consult Proi. Corn
Ing, Of Now York. Mr.. Bird acted on
the suggestion without delay and sought
the renowned specialist After going
through rigid examination. Prof.
Corning told Mr. Bird that his lpIne
was afflicted and that science could not
help him.
Tho history Of the case Is remarka-
BILE ono and is beat told in Mr.. Birds
own language. To reporter who
called at his handsomely furnished
homo at lG5 Wilton street, jersey City,
Mr.. Bird said:
"Whon / first decided to doctor for
my trouble learned, that had con:
tracted paralysis OF the spine. ! called
In my family physician, DR.. Varick,
who refused to treat mo aud advised me
10 GO to Prof. Corning, OF New York. /
went to the professor and followed his
advice for eight months, but 1t did no
good at all. After this went 10 Pro
lessor Thompson. who treated me with
electricity and compressed air. Some
times took aa much Us fourteen pounds
and half in three hours. There arc
very few men that can stand the COM
pressed air for moro than o half hour.
"But for all that ! did not improve
much, and began to lose all hope. A
number OF friends OF mine In New York
and Newark asked mo repeatedly why l
did not try Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. They kept at 1t 80 per.
sistently that fually decided to give
them trIal."
swell, sir, do you know that they
have dono mo more good than all the
professors and doctors in the world. l
am hundred per cent better now than
when first began taking them. ! am
better in health and in spirits, and there
is no longer that old feeling of depres-
sion. walk better now than I over
did while I was undor tho care Of the
physician. am gaining flesh now. and
have been ever Biuca took the Pink
Pills. Another thing, the feeling has
come back in my legs. 1t uGed TO DO so
that could pound thom as hard as l
was able and / could not feel it at all.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
thing 1 have over heard OF, aud am
always glad 10 tell anyone what they
have done Tor me"
An analysis Of DR.. Wiiliams' Pink
Pills shows that they contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary
to give now life and richness to tho
blood and restore shattered nerves.
They arc an unfalling specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciaticN, neu-
ralgia rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effect OF Ia grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complex
ions, and oil forms OF weakness either
in male or female. Pink Pills are sold
by all dealers, or will be sent post paid
on receipt OF price, 80 cents box or 9
boxes for 50 G0-thoy arc nevor sold In
bulk or by the 1907 by addressing DR..
williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, n.
Y, or Brockville, Ontario.
