The Science of Medicine.
GREAT ADVANCES MADE IN
THE LAST FEW YEARS.
The Story of a Man Who Has Lately
Been Cured of that Terrible Dis
ease, Locomotor Ataxia.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Very little is heard by the general public
of the great discoveries in medicine, and the
countless scores Of lives that are saved by
the advancing knowledge of medical science.
Diseases. which few years ago baff1ed the
most eminent physicians and were believed
to be absolutely incurable, succumb today as
readily as the most trifling ailment. No
one, perhaps, has better cause to appreciate
this than Richard A. William, of BustletOn,
Pa. Mr.. William is retired calico print
manufacturer, and before his health began
to trouble him he carried on an extensive
business, both in BustletOn and Holmes
burg. He is fifty-three years OF age, has
travelled widely, and is man OF more than
ordinary education and intelligence. A re-
porter who visited him found him strOlling
leisurely through the grounds surrounding
his pleasant home. Mr.. William was at
first decidedly averse to the unwelcOme
publicity which he felt would follow the
story of his case in the newspapers. Realiz-
ing. however, that it might be the means of
bringing relief to others who were suffering
as he had suffered he finally consented.

bles really date back to several severe falls
l received when young man, but suffered
no great inconvenience until 1888. My first
sensation was great difficulty in walking.
As this feeling grew more intense finally

burg, who Immediately told me that had
lOcOmot0r ataxia, and placed me under
active treatment. Instead of getting better
l seemed to grow worse, and / was scarcely
able to get around. A year after became

to give me up. He gave me to understand
that must resign myself to condition OF
utter helplessness until death came to my
relief. At last 1 got SO that could not
walk at all; my limbs went back on me en-
tirely, and was just able to sit up. then
called in DIR. Bull, then in Philadelphia,
and now a resident of Chicago. He recon-
mended sun-baths. and had sun-parlor
erected for the purpose, but my trouble did
not yield to such treatment, and finally l
abandoned it. In April last, l received
letter from Mr.. Grantier, friend of mine
in Elmira, N. Y, telling me how new
medicine, called DIR. Williams Pink Pills
was performing astonishing cures In the
severest nerve diseases, and advising me to
give them q trial. Not knowing the scien.
tific nature of DIR. Williams remedy. and
believing that it was an ordinary medicine,
was at first inclined not 10 bother with 1t.
But reflected that In my miserable condi.

sent to the drug store and purchased one
box. After the third box l began to fee
