markable Narrative.
From the Syracuse Standard
During the past few months there
have appeared in the columns OF the
Standard the particulars OF a number
of cures so remarkable as to justify the
term miraculous. These cases were in
vestigated and vouched for by the
Albany Journal, the Detroit News, AL
bany Expi ess, and other papers whose
reputation Is a guarantee that the
facts were as stated. Different schools
OF medicine and some Of the brightest
lights In the procession had treated
these cases, unsuccessfully; and their
recovery later on, therefore, and its
means, have created profound sensa-
ton throughout the country.
The Standard has published the
above accounts for what they were
worth, and are happily able to supple
ment same to-day by an equally strik-
ing case near home. The case is over
In Madison County, at Solsville, and
the subject is Mr.. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following:
Il will be 20 in September. / was
born in Brookfeld. Madison County,
where all my life was spent until re-
Gently, when, becoming helpless,
came to live with my daughter here.
My life occupation has been that of
farmer. l was always well and rugged
until two years ago last winter, whenI
had the grip. When it left me had
sensation of numbness in my legs,
which gradually grew TO be stiff at the
joint and very painful. l felt the stiff
ness in my feet first, and the pain and
the stiffness extended to my knees and
to my hip joints, and to the bowels and
stomach, and prevented digestion. To
move the bowels | was compelled to
take great quantities of castor oil.
while was in this condition, cold
feelings would begin in my feet and
streak up my legs to my back and
would follow the whole length OF my
back bone. l could not sleep, had no
appetite, became helpless. When in
this condition | was treated by num-
Der OF prominent physicians. They
did me no good. | loon became per-
fectly helpless and lost all power OF
motion even in my bed"
The physicians consulted pro-
nounced fathers case creeping paraly-
Sis" said Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, "and
when we brought him homo he had to
be carried all the way in bed. The
doctors said they could only relieve
the pain, and for the purpose he took
pint Of whisky day for three
months, and morphine in great guam
titles. When he began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills Tor Pale Peo-
pie we stopped giving him morphine
or any other medicine, AMI cut off all
stimuiants. In ten days after father
began taking the pills, he could get
- had Al t,,it iota
and has continued to improve until
now he walks about the house and the
streets by the aid of a cane only"
"Ye'," said Mr.. Hyde, and the pain
haj gone out of my back and the numb
ness out OF my legs. / have no moro
chills, my digestion is good, and have
an excellent appetite" And then, after
pause, But, ah, me, am an old man;
l have seen my bet days, and cannot
hope to recover my old vigor as q
younger man might, but am so thank
full to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains.
