ANOTHER n. j. MIRACLE
A Story From New Jersey Which
Will Interest Every One.
A Man Who Was Cured of Rheumas
tism and Paralysis After Suf-
fering for Twenty-six
Years.
From the Philadelphia Record.


A very interesting story comes from
Cape May G. H.. N. j. The chief char
acter in the story is John L. Steel, who
has lived in that town for thirty years.
and is one of the best known men in Cape
May County. To reporter Mr.. Steel
said: Certainly. I'll tell you the story. I
am 81 years old and was first attacked
with the rheumatism twenty-six years
ago. I suffered all that mortal man could
stand. The medicine and the doctoring
have had has cost me at the very least
$500, but they were all like so much water
in my case.
Zone day. in 1882, was taken with
chill up and down the back, my leg gave
out at the knee and l fell like log. Never
shall l forget the agony / suffered. {
thought l would go crazy. l could not
walk, and my legs were all drawn up at
the knee and felt as if dead. 1t was with
out feeling and without power. l called
In Dr.. Alexander Young, one of our town
physicians. He cupped and blIstered me-
without success. | went to DR.. Downs, a
physician of the old school. DR.. Downs
took my leg and pulled it out straight,
then he laid IL over the arm Of the sofa
on which L was reclining, and from it suS-
pended two bricks. The pain was almost
unbearable. The battery was applied,
and the result was l was just as bad as
ever. AS a last resource | went to the
late DIR. Pancoast, then of Jefferson Col
lege. He pronounced my case chronic
rheumatism, and said that he could re-
lieve the pain but could not cure me. He
gave me sarsaparilla and iOdide of potas-
SUM, of which | had already taken guam
tity. l felt that 1 was going from bad to
worse. The pains were growing more in
tense, my body was growing weaker and
had TO crawl upstairs on my hands and
/ yutif oh
times nearly frozen to death. slept under
enough covering to crush me, and was
cold then. / had to lift my leg around
wherever l wanted 1t, but at night it
would witch and jerk as though possessed
by some 6endish power
well, to cut a long story short, [ read
in the Philadelphia Record of man who
had been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. The story appeared to
be an authentic account, and with ray of
hope l sent for two boxes of Pink Pills.
This was about six months ago. As soon
as [ began to take them they began to do
me good. 1 felt as though 1 had been
given fresh blood and new muscles. When
the two boxes were finished l sent for six
more, and under this treatment continued
to improve. l began to regain the use of
my limbs and l could soon get around with
the aid of crutch and cane. Now / have
discarded the crutch. have an excellent
appetite and feel frst-class all over.
why Pink Pills have done more for me
than all the rest of the medicine and doe
tors put together. and my recovery is due
solely to them. 1 have taken In all twenty
boxes Of Pink Pills, and you can see for
yourself what they have accomplished"
SuIting the action to the words Mr.. Steel
placed bis cane over his shoulder and
walked off like man who had never had
an hours sickness in his life. Some idea
of the severity of his case can be had from
the fact that his left leg has been shortened
nearly an inch by the ravages of the dis
ease. The following affidavit was made
before john Spaldlng, Justice of the Peace,
illness.
Sworn and subscribed before me this
Goth day Of May, A. d. 1898.
JOHN SPALDING,
Justice of the Peace.
