This is an age of progress and everything
that halls the advance of new IDEAS for the
good of humanity is hailed with delight.
1t is the province of newspapers to watch
for strange events or phenomena of any
kind and to Immediately investigate a re-
ported case out of the line of regular com.
munity happenings. So when the story of
Mr.. George Hutchinson, of Chelsea, VT. and
how he had been raised from bed where
he lay stricken with supposedly incura-
BILE disease was told, the Argus and Patriot
detailed reporter to look up the reported
facts of the case, to whom Mr.. Hutchinson
made the following statement:
II am native of Massachusetts, a wood
worker by trade, and 40 years of age, and
for the past Is years have been working in
various sawmills in Vermont and Massa-
chusetts Eight years ago l moved from
Bradford to Chelsea and bought the sawmil
of which am now proprietor. was in
perfect health and known throughout Chel-
sea and vicinity as one of the strongest men
of my weight in that section. December
10th, 1892, l was hurt by piece of flying
board as l was at work in the mill. After
that I began slowly ly to lose my strength
and became incapacitated for work or effort
of any kind. The seat of my trouble seemed
to be my back, but it gradually extended
downward. consulted ali the local ply
| sicians and was treated by two of them,
but the medicines they administered were
not of the slightest avail and did not check
the disease in the least. In fact, was a
miserable victim of locomotor ataxia and
was conscious of a steady advance of the
| insidious disease. My back ached contin-
ually and my legs began to grow numb and
| to be less and less usable. By the 18th OF
April I could do absolutely nothing and
was scarcely able to stand. My physicians
| advised me to go to the Mary Fletcher Hos-
pital at Burlington, to be treated, and
/ took their advice. When left home my
| friends bade me goodbye, never expecting
to see me alive again. The physicians at
| the hospital told me that my case was q
/ serious one and was completely discour
| aged. I remained at the hospital seven
| weeks and took the medicines which the
| doctors gave me. felt better at the hos
pital and thought that was recovering
4 and went home to Continue their treatment
/ which did for two months, and also had an
| electric battery under their advice. The
/ Improvement, however, did not continue
l and began to give up hope. August 1st
l 1898, could not get out of my chair with
out assistance, and if got down upon the
| floor, could not get up alone. About this
/ time l chanced to read an account of the
/ wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in cases similar
| to my own. did not have any faith in the
Pills but thought a trial could do no harm,
i so bought some without telling anyone
what was going to do. After l had been
/ taking them some time I surprised myself
by getting out of my chair without assist
ance, and found that, for the first time in
months was able to wa K down to the post
office, and my neighbors began to discuss
the marked improvement in my health. As
l continued the medicine continued to i'm
prove, and soon recommended work in the
mill, at first very lightly, and increasing
as was able and as I gained in health and
spirits, and now for the past three months
[ have been working ten hours per day al
most as steadily as ever did. l feel well,
eat well and sleep as well as ever did and
l have no pain anywhere"
The reporter talked with several other
gentlemen in regard to the case of MIR
Hutchinson, who is a well-known citizen of
Chelsea and a justice of the peace, and they
corroborated his statements as far as they
were familiar with the case and stated
that he was known to be reliable man,
and any statement he might make would
Oe entitled &c entire credence.
