Very little is heard by the general public of
the great discoveries in medicine, and the
countless scores oflives that are saved by the
advancing knowledge of medical science. Dis
eases, which a few years ago bafled the most
eminent physicians and were believed to be alb
solutely incurable, succumb to-day as readily
as the most trifiing ailment. No one, perhaps,
has better cause to appreciate this than Rich
ard A. William, of Bustleton, Pa. Mr.. william
is a retired calico print manufacturer, and be-
fore his health began to trouble him he carried
on an extensive business, both in Bustleton and
Holmesburg. He is flfty-three years of age, has
travelled widely, and is a man of more than Or
dinary education and intelligence. A reporter
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 Realizing, however, that it mig hit
be the means of bringing relief to others who
were suffering as he had suffered he finally
consented.
"Ifit had not been for one OF the recent dis
coveries of medical science, l believe / would
be lying helpless in bed instead of enjoying
this STROLL" he began. My troubles really date
back to several severe falls received when a
ience until 1885, My first sensation was great
difficulty in walking. AS this feeling grew
more intense, finally called in a well-known
physician of Holmesburg, who Immediately
told me that had locomotor ataxia, and placed
me under active treatment. Instead Of getting
better 1 seemed to grow worse, and 1 was
scarcely able to get around. A year after be-
came his patient he told me that he would
have to give me up. He gave me TO understand
that must resign myself 10 a condition of ut
ter helplessness until Leath came to my relief
At last got SO that L could not walk at all ; my
limbs went back on me entirely, and was just
able to sit up. then called in DIR. Bull, then
In Philadelphia, and now resident of Chicago
He recommended sun-baths, and had a sun
parlor erected for the purpose, but my trouble
did not yield to such treatment, and finally
abandoned it. In April last, received a letter
from Mr.. Grantier, a friend Of mine in El-
mira, n. Y, telling me how a new medicine
called DR.. Williams Pink Pills was performing
astonishing cures in the severest nerv e diseases
and advising me to give them a trial Not
knowing the scientific nature of DIR. Williams
remedy, and believing that it was an ordinary
medicine, 1 was first inclined not to bother
with it. But reflected that in my miserable
condition it could do me no harm at least, and

After the third box began to feel some benefit
My whole system seemed better. kept taking
the pills, and one day to my great joy discov-
cred that could walk little From that time
on my recovery has been rapid. Now, after
using Pink Pills for five months, from a condi-
ton of utter helplessness am able to walk one
mile every day without Inconvenience. take
my one-mile spin around the house every day

from week TO week. and my feet no longer feel
as though they were weighted down with lead
ascribe this wonderful change solely to Pink
Pills. My mother is very enthusiastic over the
pills, and thinks DR.. Williams ought to have
his great discovery proclaimed from the house
