From the Wallace, NIB, Herald.
Last summer Mr.. ID. L. Allyn of this
place, worked for the B. & NJ. r. X as q
section hand, on the section extending east
from Tecumseh, the county seat of john
son County, Nebraska. On the 2d day of
July he met with an accident that nearly
cost him his life. He and five other men
were working hand car in front of which
was push car. Mr.. Allyn was standing
on the front part of the car, with his back
towards the dire ction in which the car was
being run. just as the two cars came to-
gether, the foreman ordered him to step
from the car on which they were riding on
to the push car, and at the same time sig
nailed another of the men to apply the
brake. which slackened their speed enough
to cause a gap of few feet between the
cars.
In stepping back to comply with the or
der he fell upon his back in the middle of
the railroad track and the car, with its load
of five men, tools and water keg, in all
weighing fully ton, passing over him. A
rod on the under side of the car caught his
feet and doubled him up so that his feet
struck his face. As he rolled over the bull
wheel struck his back and inflicted the in
Jury that came so near proving fatal. The
car was raised from the rails and thrown
off the track.
He was carried to town and DR.. Snyder,
the B. & M. r. r. surgeon at Tecumseh,
was summoned. Afterwards DIR. c. C..
Gafford, DR.. Yoden and DR.. Waters, all of
Wymore, Neb., were called in consultation
but they could afford no relief About the
lst of October he became psralyzed from
St ha Of
entirely left his legs, which became drawn
one across the other. DR.. Livingston,
of Plattsmouth, Neb., the head physi-
clan of the B. & M. Il. X. system was
summoned to treat the case. but fl
nally informed his patient that he could
not live to see July, 1898. He had not the
means to pay the expenses of law suit
against the railroad company. but the COM
panys attorneys very willingly compro-
missed the claim for damages by paying him
$1,000. His condition continued to grow
worse, the excruciating pain in his back
never ceasing, until upon the recommends
tion and by the request of lady friend,
Mrs. w. G. Swan of Tecumseh, Neb., he
began taking Pink Pills for Pale People.
To the Herald reporter he said, 81 had no
more faith in them than | would have had
in eating handful of dirt" He commenced
taking the pills on the I'd day of February,
taking one after each meal, and in ten 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 described. 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 incon-
venience. He considers himself entirely
cure and feels as well as he ever did, ex-
cept that his back is not as strong as it was
before he was hurt.
This spring he moved on to farm twelve
miles southwest of Wallace, where he has
planted good crop of corn and is doing all
his work without any hired help. Should
anyone doubt the statements herein made,
they are invited to see him personally or
write to him, and address him at Wallace,
Neb lie is thankful for what Pink Pills
have done for him. and is willing to go to
some trouble to let others know of their
| wonderful curative properties.
