TBRR0RS 0FPARALYSIS
Overcome at Last by the Ad-
vance Of Me ical Science.
The Testimony of a Man VIII Was Half
Dead for Four Years-To day as Well
and Robust as Ever.
Oswego, N. Y, Palladium: No citizen
OF this village is better known or more
highly respected than Theodore j.
Wheeler, who has lived here nearly half
a century. Five years ago, he was
stricken with paralysis, and was in it's
worst form. The physicians said he
would surely die. But Mr.. Wheeler did
not die, and it is to tell the readers of
the Palladium about his most wonderful
recovery that q reporter called upon
him.
Despite his IS years of age, and the
intense mental and bodily Affections he
has been obliged to endure for nearly
five years, Mr.. Wheeler is still a fine
looking a He answered the reporters
ring at the door bell in person, and in
vited him into his cozy sitting room,
where he told the following story:
1T was on the morning of Nov. 81,
1888, that I was stricken down. I at
tempted to get up in the morning as
usual, when l found that I could not use
my limbs or feet. At first I thought
they were asleep and rubbed them brisk
~ with my hands for several minutes,
but without result. Finally I got back
into bed and sent for DR.. s. M. Bennett
of this village. He informed me that I
had suffered what is called a stroke of
paralysis I could not believe it at
first, but the numbness continued to
spread, accompanied by a prickling sem
sation. until the entire lower half Of m
body, as we'll as my legs, was affected.
My bowels and kidneys refused to per-
form their functions, and I was only re-
iieved by mechanical process. I was
not satisfied with DR.. Benefits diagno-
sis, and sent for DR.. Low of Pulaski. He
only confirmed DR.. Benefits statement
and advised me to get ready't to die. For.
six months I lay in bed at the home of
my niece, Mrs. G. A. Pentield, unable to
turn over in bed, hardly, and requiring
constant attention and care. Finally I
grew used to my helplessness, and would
crawl out Of bed, and getting partially
dressed would drag my body about the
house, using my hands like an
infant when creeping about, but
unable to help myself in the least with
my lower limbs. There was not the
slightest feeling in the lower part of my
body, and a needle thrust into my af-
hicted parts would not produce the
slightest pain. This went on until eight
months ago. One day I read in the Pal
ladium of a Canadian gentleman who
suffered from paralysis and who had
found relief in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
In the symptoms described by the suf-
serer l read an almost exact counterpart
of my W Affections, and I determined
to give the medicine a trial. Before I
could hardly hope for results I began to
feel a marked improvement in my condi-
ton. First my kidneys and then my
bowels began again, after a lapse of over
four years, to perform their natural func-
tlons. The numbness left my body and
the sense Of feeling returned. This con-
tinued until the numbness had left my
limbs entirely. Now I can go up to the
village with one cane, and in the house I
go around without any. It is with the
greatest pleasure that I recommend DR..
Williams Pink Pills to the public. I
know what they have done for me and I
believe they will help others similarly
afflicted"
