The Standard has published the above ac-

case is over in Madison county, at Solsville,
and the subject is Mr.. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following:

and morphine in great quantities. When he
began taking Pink Pills we stopped giving
him morphine or any other medicine, and
cut off all stimulants. In ten days after
father began taking the pills. he could get
out of bed and walk without assistance, and

me, am an old man; have seen my best
days, and cannot hope to recover my old
vigor as a younger man might, but am so
thankful to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains"
