Overcome at Last by the Advance Of
Medical Science
The Testimony of n man Who Was Half
Dead for -Four Nears-To-day as
Well and Strong as Ever.
From Ths oswego n. Y. Palladium

No citizen Of this village Is better known or
more highly respected than Theodore j
Wheeler. who has lived here for nearly half
a century. Five years ago he was stricken
with paralysis and was in its woet form.
The physicians said that he would surely die.
But Mr.. Wheeler did not die, and IL is To tell
the readers OF the Palladium about his al
most miraculous recovery that a reporter
called upon him.
Despite his slxty-hve years OF age. and the
intense mental and bodily afliictlons. he has
been obliged TO endure for nearly iive years.
Mr.. Wheeler Is still a fne looking man. He
answered the reporters ring at the door bell
ln person, and invited him into his cozy sit
ting room. where he told the following story;
1t was on the morning of Nov. ~, 1888,
that was stricken down. / attempted To get
up In the morning as usual. when found that
! could not uee my limbs or feet. AZ first |
thought they were asleep and rubbed thom
hrisklY with my hands for several minutes.
libut without result. Finally / got back into
bed and sent for DR.. s. NJ Bennett OF this
village. he informed me shat had suffered
what Is commonly called 'strotSe Of par
alyss.' l could not believe Il az ngst. bat.
the nHmbness continued to spread, accom-
panied by a prioklng sensation, until the
entire lower half Of my body, rs well as my
/ legs, was affected. My bowels and kidney
refused TO perform their functions, and was
only relieved by mechanical process. / was
not satisfied with DR.. Bennetta diagnosis
and sent for DR.. LOW, OF Pulaski. He only
confirmed Or. Bennett's statement and adj
vissd me 20 ge. ready 10 de. For six months
lay in Asd at the home OF my niece, Mrs. q
| A. Penneld, unable TO turn over In bed,
hardly. and requiring oonssant attention aud
care Finally grew used 20 my hslplessness
and 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 70 help myself In
the least with my lower limbs. Bhere was
not the slightest feeling in the lower part of
my body and a.needle thrust into my afilictes
parts would not produce the slightest pain.
This went on until eight months ago. One day
I read IN the Palladium Of a Canadian gentle
man who suffered from paralysis and who had
found reliof in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In
the symptoms described by tho sufferer ]
read an almost exact counterpart Of my own
aifiictions. and / determined to give the
medicine q trial. Before / could hardly hope
for results I began 20 feel q marked imprOve'
