1t is on record that upon a chilly Aprl
day, a few years ago, an eirhtyear-old boy
fell into the East river at the foot of East
Eighth street, New York, and when all ef'
forts to rescue him had failed, Edward Don
nelly, at risk Of his own life, plunged into
the water and, when himself nearly cx'
hausted, saved the boy from drowning, II
was a humane and self -sacrificing deed, ana
received deserved commentator in all the
newspapers,
There is u sequel to this accident, how
over. which thus far has not been published.
1t is to the effect that Donnclly was para
lived rs a result of the cold plunge and came
near dying. Auburn people have known
the family since his wife was AmandaG Grant
man and his sister Mrs. :, d. Cory, OF Il
Moravia street. Donnelly himself describes
the rescue and the result
Il was general foreman Of the F, a. Null
grew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, N. Y,
on the East river. 1t was on the 10Th Of
April, 1889, that the boy fell into the river
and | rescued him from drowning. At that
time | was in the water so long that was
taken with a deathly chill, and soon became
so stifened up and weak that could neither
work nor walk. For some time | was I'M
der treatment of DR.. George Mcdonald, who
said | had Locomotor AtaXia. He finally
gave me up, and on the lst of June, 1892, my
wife and | came up to Auburn.
"When the disease first cam upon me
the numbness began In my heels, and soon
the whole of both my feet became affected.
There was a cold feeling across the small Of
my back and downwards, and a sense of
soreness and a tight pressure on the chest,
The numbness gradually extended up both
legs and into the lower part of my body. /
felt that death was creeping upto my vitals.
I was still taking the medicine cit was
Iodide of Potassium said his Wife, and
was being rubbed and having plasters put
all over my body, but with no benefit.
II sent to the Chas. Ii. Sugar Company,
the popular Auburn druggists and chemists,
at 1909 and Ill Genesee street, and got three
boxes Of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills and began
taking them. In three weeks time l was so
improved that from being helpless, l was
able to help myself and to get up and go to
work, and to walk every day from No. "a
Walnut street, where | then lived, to Os-
born's New Irvine Factory, Seymour and
Cottage streets-more than "A mlle-where
was then employed, but all the while | was
taking Pink Pills.
'Thcn DR.. Patcher, of Wisconsin, uncle OF
my wife, and who was here on Il visit, be-
gan to poo-hoo at me for taking Pink Pills,
and finally persuaded me to stop taking
them and let him treat me. When he re-
turned to the West he left a prescription
with DIR. Hyatt, Of Auburn, who also treated
me. But their treatment did me no good,
and alter a while the old trouble returned
and ] was getting bad again. Then | began
to take Pink Pills; have taken them ever
since, am takingthemn now; havetakenin all
nearly2O boxes at an entire cost of less than
$1,000 my other treatment cost me a pile of
money and again am well and able to work.
'1f was able, | would at my OWL ex-
pense, publish the virtues of )r. Williams
Pink Pills to the whole world and especially
in New York City, where | am much better
known than | I'm here"
