A very interesting story comes from

years. and is one of the best known
men in Cape May County. To a re-
porter, Mr.. Steel said. Certainly,

ing have had has cost me at the very
least $4,000, but they were all like SO
much water in my case.
"One day, in 1892, was taken

without power. | called in DIR. Alex

clans. He cupped and blstered mo

a physician of the old school. DIR.
Downs, took my leg ab1Prlled it out
straight, then he laid IL over the arm
of the sofa ON which | was reclining,
and from IL suspended two bricks.
The pain was almost unbearable.
The battery was applied, and the re-
suit was that | was just rs bad as
ever. As last resource | went to the
late DIR. Pancoast, then OF Jefferson
College. lie pronounced my case

me, and was cold then. had to lift
my leg around wherever wanted it,
but at night it would twitch and Jerk
as through prossesscd by some iiend-
ish power.
"Well, to cut a long story short, |
read in the PhHadeiphia RECORD of n
man who had been cured by DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. The
story appeared to be an authentic ac-
count, and with ray of hope | sent
for two boxes of Pink Pills. This
was about six months ago. As soon
as ! began to take them they began
to do me good. ! felt as though II had
been given fresh blood and new mus
cles. Then when the two boxes were
finished ! sent for six more. and un-
der this treatment continued to i'm
prove. began to regain the use of
my limbs and ! could soon get around
with the aid of crutch and cane.
Now have discarded the crutch. 1
have as excellent appetite and feel
lirstcass all over.
"Why Pink Pills have done more
for me than all the rest of the med
icine and doctors put together, and
my recovery is due solely to them. |
have taken in all twenty boxes of Pink
Pills and you can see for yourself
what they have accomplished.
Suiting the action to the words Mr..
Steel placed his cane over his shoulder
and walked of like man who had
never had an hours sickness in his
life. Some idea Of the severity of his
case can be had from the fact that
his left leg has been shortened nearly
AN inch by the ravagcs of the disease.
The following affidavit was made be-
fore John Spalding, Justice of the
Peace, who has known Mr.. Steel dur
ing his entire illness.
Sworn and subscribed before me
this 26th day of May, A. Il. 1898.

Justice of the Peace.

as such in general practice by an en-
inent physician. So great was their
efficacy that ii was deemed wise to
place them within the reach Of all.
They are now manufactured bo the
DR., Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, n. Y, and Brockvilie,
Ont, and are sold in boxes(never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred,
and the public are cautioned against
limitations sold in thisshape)
at 80 cents n box, or six boxes for 81, 80.
and may be had of all druggists or
direct by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Co. from either address.
The price at which these pills are
sold makes course of treatment in
expensive as compared with other
remedies or medical treatment.
