AN OHIO MIRACLE
Tho Remarkable Story Of an Cid
Lady Who Has Been Afflicted
with Paralysis for Many
Years.
Completely Helpless - Beyond the Hops
of Medical Aid-Relieved at Lass
In Marvellous Manner.
[From the Toledo BLADE.

In neat little homo in Farmer, Ohio, Tvs
the Rev. Sias S. Hyde and his wife. The
two are now close TO the seventy-seventh
mile stone and have been married hfty-tHo
years.
For over twenty-five years Mrs Hyde has
been practically n home-tied invalid. Dur
ing the earlier years of her illness succeg-
sion of fevers and other ailments, peculiar
TO women, led up to stroke of paralysis
which occurred about ten years age. k5
this time the dread disease laid hold of her
left side and was what is called wasting oY
creeping paralysis. The seven years which
followed its first appearance we're marked
by steady aggregation of the powers OF the
disease and were full of misery. Three
years ago it eliminated in attacking her
fight side in the same way, and there was
little hope at the time of her surviving tho
second shock. Different physicians were
employed but were unable to alleviate her
bufferings. In addition to her former SICK
hess paralysis is inherited-both her mother
and her grandmother having been carrie /
away by 1t.
Rev. Mr.. Hyde, in response to the inquiry
Of reporter, said; sit is ten years since
Mrs Hyde was first attacked with paralysis,
and about three years ago she had secola
Shock. From that time on, for two yeas,
she was practically helpless. The disease
left her in such condition that it was rec
/ essary to exclude the visits of our neighbors.
+ The least excitement was too great for her.
| Physicians whom we consulted gave no
hope, and medicine which we used appeared
TO do no good. About one year ago, il 4 pa
per Of one of our cities, | noticed an adver-
tisement of Dr. Williams Pink Pills Cor
Pale People, and sent for some OF ta5ln.
Two or three weeks after she first began
taking the pills noticed a decided improve
ment From being absolutely helpless she
gained sufficient strength to be up and aoout
the house, and to perform some O. Che
| lighter duties Of the household. Steady
She has gained little in strength. Shs Is
how able to see her friends and neighbors as
of old, and, on pleasant days, able to be cut.
At the time Mrs. Hyde commenced taxing
Ethe medicine, her mind was failing, but Tic
pills have checked that tendency and her
mind now appears as bright and active e. il
| ever was.
''The wasting process in paralysis is &C
| companied by most severe pains and cramps
which occur at intervals and cause terrible
suffering. Since Mrs. Hyde began taking
DR.. Williams medicine, about one year ago,
| these symptoms, with their moments Of ey-
cruciating pain have disappeared. MS
! Hydes left side was paralyzed first, but she
Is now able to walk about AID use her i5fi
arm more than her right"
At this point in the conversation Mrs
