In neat little homo In Farmer, Ohio, live
the Rev. Sias S. Hyde and his wife. -ha
two are now close to the seventy-seventh

For over twenty-five years Mrs. Hyde has
been practically home-tied invalid. Dur
Ing the earlier years of her illness d Success
sion of fevers and other ailments, peculiar
TO women, led up to a stroke of paralysis
which occurred about ten years age. 1t
this time the dread disease laid hold of her
left side and was what is called wasting CT
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. Tires
years ago 1t eliminated in attacking nar
right 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 Ter
sufferings. In addition TO her former sick
ness paralysis is inherited-both her mother
and her grandmother having been carr.

Mrs Hyde was first attacked with paralysis,
and about three years ago she had q secol :
shock. From that time on, for two years,
she was practically helpless. The disease
left her in such condition that 1t was nee
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 pa

Pale People, and sent for some Of them.
| Two or three weeks after she first began
taking the pills noticed decided improve
ment From being absolutely helpless she
gained sufficient strength to be up and scout
the house, and to perform some c. the
lighter duties of the household Steady
she has gained little in strength. She IS
now able to see her friends and neighbors az
of old, and, on pleasant days, able to be out.
AT the time Mrs Hyde commenced taking
the medicine, her mind was failing, but the
/ pills have checked that tendency and her
mind now appears as bright and active IS il
ever was.
| ''The wasting process in paralysis is ac-
| companied by most severe pains and cramps

suffering. Since Mrs. Hyde began taking
| DR.. Williams medicine, about one year ago,
these symptoms, with their moments Of eg-

| Hyde's left side was paralyzcd first, but she
