known or more highly respected than
Theodore j. Wheeler, who has lived
here for nearly half century. Five
years ago he was stricken with paraly-
sis, ana was in its worst form. The
physicians said he would surely die.
But Mr.. Wheeler did not die. and it Is
to tell the readers of the Palladium
about his almost miraculous recovery
that reporter called upon him.
Despite his sixty-five years Of age.and
the intense mental and bodily Affections
he has been obliged to endure for nearly
nve years, Mr.. Wheeler is still fjne-
looking man. He answered the report

tempted to get up in the morning as
usual. when found that could not use
my limbs or feet. At first I thought they

with my hands for several minutes, but
without result. Finally got back into

this village. He informed me that had

me to get ready to die. For SIX months
l lay in bed at the home Of my niece.
Mrs. G. A. Penfield. unable to turn
over in bed, hardly, and requiring con-
slant attention and care. Finally grew
used to my helpiessness, aud would
crawl out OF bed. and. getting partially
dressed, would drag my body about the
house, using my hands like an infant
when creeping, but unable to help my
self in the least with my lower limbs.
There was not the slightest feeling III
the lower part OF my body, and needle
thrust into my afflicted parts would not

One day read in the Pal
ladium of Canadian gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who
had found relief in DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. In the symptoms described by
the sufferer | read an almost exact
counterpart of my own affections, and
l determined to give the medicine a
trial. Before 1 could hardly hope for
results l began to feel marked i'm
provement in my condition. First my
kidneys and then my bowels began
again. after lapse of over four years,

of feeling returned. This continued
un til the numbness had left my limbs
entirely. Now l can 20 up to the village
