A WONDERFUL MANNER IN WHICH
A MAN WAS CURED OF PARALYSIS.
Case That Almost Surpasses the
Miracles of Old.

From The Rural Spirit, Portland, oregon
Upon the Calapooia river at the edge OF
the Cascade range, in the town OF Holly,
Linn county, Oregon, lives w. II. Hendef-
son, a man with an interesting history. 1t
is NEST interesting as told by himself to
reporter.
MY native place is Brockville, Canada,
said Mr. Henderson, "where 1 have always
made my home up to 1880, with the eXcep-
ton of a few years that 1 was a resident
of Oswego, N Y, New York city, and Chi
cago. In 1885 L came to Oregon. l am a
carpenter by trade, and in the summer or
1889 was working at Gonzales, county seat
of Benton county, Oregon. l did not feel
well all summer; my knees, elbows ana
shoulders ached so badly that l concluded
to go home the last of August. one day,
after reaching home, my wife was lead
ing the horses by the house and called me
to see them. While looking at the horses
I felt my knees getting weak. / went into
the house and fell on the floor. When l.
came to my senses l was the lounge
and my wife crying. John McDaniels, ouI
nearest neighbor, was there. L recovered
somewhat through the day, and in the
evening J. walked to my bed. That night
about 10 o'clock l had another stroke OF
paralysis. The torture that [ went through
is too horrible for me to describe. L was
helpless. The neighbOrs came in, DIR. Hen
rey, of Brownsville, was sent for, and 1
made my will, but could not sign it so It
was legible. The back of my neck sWelled
up; Dr. Henrey had them put mustard
plasters on the back of my neck ana
down my back and down the side of my
right leg, and on the bottom of my feet.
The skin came off the bottom of my right
foot [ was covered with sores from head
to foot. If l had to be lifted UP in bed it
took two or three men to do it. There was
a gathering in my left ear and 1t broke
ands discharged matter twice. My wife had
to move my legs when they were moved.
1 had watchers at night for weeks. Mr..
Michael Barage owner of the lumber
mills on Hamilton creek, was one OF them.
His postotiiCe address is Lebanon, Linn
county, Oregon; Mr.. William White, head
sawyer for the same. and Mr.. James n.
Rice, eX-member of the Legislature of Ore
gon. Weeks went by and months, and !
lay in bed helpless. When MY bed was
changed another bed had to be brought
alongside and me slid across on TO it. L do
not remember sleeping a wink for months.
They used galVanic battery for months,
but it gave me 10 relief l had them write
to DR.. Mosler, specialist, Grand street,
New York, stating my case. lie wrote me
that he could not help me-, after which
concluded that l must die. | had gwen up
all hope. In reading my eastern papers l
saw the miracles that a medicine called Or.
Williamss Pink Pills was performing, but
that itself would not have induced me to
try them, had | not seen the name OF Mi.
G.. 7. Fulford, of Brockvile, Ont, con-
nected with them. That gave me hope. L
had, known him from a little boy, and L
knew that money would not induce him to
deceive his fellow man. | wrote Mr.. + l-
ford to send me some Pink Pills, and before
] had used the first lot 1 noticed an I'M
prOVement. | sent for more, ana IN a little
time [ was on my crutcheS, and walking
around the house. The last boxes that L
got are doing the business. The pains iett
my head altogether six weeks aSo and 1t
is now as clear as a bell The swelling
on my neck is gone, and my right ankle Is
much better. I get around now with
out any assistance and am heavier than !
ever was in my life. There are hundred
people about here who will TESTIFY 70 my
sickness and cure if any one doubts IT,
DR.. Wlliams's Fink Pills are not d pat
ent medicine in the sense that name implies.
They were compounded as y prescription
and used as such in general practice by an
eminent physician. So great was their Ell
ficacy that it was deemed wise to place
them within the reach of all. They are
now manufactured by the DR.. Williams
ADadicine Company, Schenectady, II. Y,
and Brockviue, Ont. and are sold in boxes
mever in loose form by the dozen or nun

numerous limitations sold in this shape at
so cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams's Medicine Com
panv from either address. The price al
which these pills are sold makes a course
of treatment inexpensive as compared WIZ
other remedies or medical treatment.
