Eighth street, New York. and when all ef-
forts to rescue him had failed, Edward Don

hausted. saved the boy from drowning. II
was q humane and seif-sacrifcing deed. and
received deserved commeudation in all the
newspapers.
There is a sequel to this accident, how
ever, which thus far has not been published.
It is to the effect that Donuelly was para

April, 1889. that the boy fell into the river
and rescued him from drowning. At that
time was in the water so long that was
taken with deathly chill. and soon became
SO stifened up and weak that Icould neither
work nor walk. For some time l was un-
der treatment of DR.. George Mcdonald, who
said l had Locomotor Ataxia. He finally
gave me up. and on the 1st Of June, 1899, my
wife and came up to Auburn.
when the disease first came upon NE
the numbness began IN my heels, and soon
the whole of both my feet became affected.
There was cold feeling across the small of
my back and downwar6s. and sense Of
soreness and tight pressure on the chest.
The mum bnesS gradua ly extended up both

Iodide of Potassium said his wifel. and
was being rubbed and having p!asters put
all over nv body. but with no oenerit.
Il sent TO the ChaS. II. Sagar Company,
the popular Auburn druggists and chemists,
at lv9 and Ill Genesee street. and got three
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills and began
taking them. In three weeks time was SO

taking Pink Pills.
Then Dr. Patchen. Of Wisconsin. uncle Of
my wife, and who was here on visit, be-
gan - pao-hoo at me for taking Pink Pills,
and finally persuaded me to stop taking
them and let him treat me. When he re-
turned TO the West be left prescription
with Dr. Hyatt. Of Auburn, who also treated
me. But their treatment did me no good,
and after while the old trouble returned
and was getting bad again. Then began
to take Pink Pills: have taken them ever
since, am taking them now; have taken in all
nearly ~ boxes at an entire cost of less than

money and again am well and able to work.
