(From the Philadelphia RecOrd.l
The wonderful experience of Samuel J.
Hart, of Frankfort, has set the whole
twenty-third ward talking.
Mr.. Hart and his wife conduct dry
goods store at 4661 Frankford avenue. He
is about seventy years of age, is pioneer
in the Frankfort district He fought for
the Union bravely throughout the war with
Colonel Gray's gallant regiment, the
Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers
and is leading member of Phil j. Kearney
Post No 55, G. A. r. He also belongs to
Shackamaxon Tribe No. 116, of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men, the Knights of
Pythias, and numerous other organizations.
Here is the story he told reporter of his
wonderful cure which has startled Frank
ford.
''Six years ago while l was working at
my trade as carpenter, i fell down stairs
and fractured my skull, sprained my spine
in two places and sustained other serious in
juries. | was picked up for dead, carried
home and laid for thirteen months utterly
unconscious of my surroundings; in fact L
was out of my mind. Then l had my
skull trephined at the Hahnemann hos
pital," here Mr.. Hart exhibited a small por-
ton of his own skull bone which he carries
as pocket piece, land l began to improve.
but my spine gave me great deal OF trouble
and eventually resulted in locOmot0r ataXia.
First found that could not walk without
two canes, became so bent that felt like
a living interrogation point. Although /
was under teatment by skilled physician
1 grew rapidly worse.
ION February 14th last" continued MIR.
Hart, IL was suddenly seized with locomotor
ataxia. Both my legs below the knees were
numb and completely paralyzed and l had
a painful sensation about the hips. fell
ana was confined for about FIVE months in
an invalid chair. Besides the paralysis of
my lower limbs L suffered eXcruciating
pains in my back and legs, could not
sleep soundly, my nerves were completely
upset and my appetite went back on me, l.
would frequently go several days with
out eating mouthful of food. Once j tried
to raise myself in the crutches but l fell
helpless forward and would have struck
the floor had not the doctor seized me.
He told never to try and walk again.
Then / was seized with frightful convul-
sions which came on at intervals.
One day last June l happened to read
in a newspaper of q remarkable cure, effect
ed by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, of man up in Maine suffering from
locomotor ataxia. l told my wife about it,
we both agreed that it would do no harm to
try the pills and we got supply. Before
had finished the first lot was able to leave
my invalid chair The life blood again
coursed through my once dead legs, and
put the chair up in the garnet. 1t has been
there ever since. l have steadily improved
eyer since and my legs are now as sound as
dollar. My form is more erect and walk
with the same springy motion that | had
when was twenty-five years old. Let me
give you an instance of my activity.
He picked up a cane, held it with both
hands slight distance apart and hoped
through 1t and back again with the agility
of a school boy. That Is something very few
young men can do, he said, with touch of
pride i'm his. tone.
81 suffer no more pain in my limb" he
resumed, ''but my fractured skull gives me
some trouble. l have severe pains in the
head, beyond these / am well man, and /
ascribe my recovery entirely to DIR. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale people. Again |
repeat, beyond the pain in my head feel
like a young man."
