tFrom the Wallace, Neb., Reroldo
Last summer Mr.. ID. T. Allyn of this place,
worked for the B. & NJ. r. R., as a section hand.
on the section extending east from Tecumseh,
the county seat Of Johnson County, Nebraska
On the I'd 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
direction in which the car was being run. Just
as the two cars came together, the foreman
ordered him to step from the car on which they
were riding on TO the push car, and at the same
time signaled another of the men TO apply the
brake, which slackened their speed enough to
cause a gap of a few feet between the cars.
In stepping back to comply with the order 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 rcd 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
injury that came SO near proving fatal. The car
was raised from the rails and thrown off the
track.
He was carried TO town and DIR. SNYDER, the
b. &. NJ. R. X. surgeon at Tecumseh, was sum-
moned. Afterwards DIR. C. C. Gafford, Dr. Yoden
and DIR. Waters, all OF wymore, Neb., were
called In consultation, but they could afford no
relief About the LIST of October he became par
alyzed from his waist down. The sense Of feel.
ing entirely left his legs which became drawn
one across the other. DIR. Livingston, of Platts-
mouth, Neb., the head physician of the b. & NJ.
r. r. system was summoned to treat the case,
but finally informed his patient that he could
not live to see July, 1898. He had not the means

continued to grow worse. the excruciating pain
in his back never ceasing, until upon the re-
commentator and by the request Of lady
friend, Mrs. G. W. Swan, of fTecumseh, Neb., he
began taking Pink Pills for Pale People To the
Herald reporter he said: al had no more faith
in them than / would have had in eating

pills on the I'd day of February, taking one af-
ter each meal, and In ten days time, to bis sur.
prise 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 &C about

as we'll as he ever did, except that his back u
not as strong as it was before he was hurt.
This spring he moved on to o farm twelve
miles southwest of Wallace, where he has
planted a good crop of corn and is doing all his
work without any hired help. Should anyone
