Auburn. n. Y, RulletIn.l


It Is on record that upon chilly April
day, few years ago, an eightyear-old boy
fell into the East river at the foot of East
Eighth street, New York, and when all eff
forts to rescue him had failed, Edward Don
nelly, at risk of his own life, plunged into
the water and, when himself nearly ex-
hausted, saved the boy from drowning. 1t
was a humane and self-sacrifcing deed, and
received deserved commendation in all the
newspapers.
There is sequel to this accident, how
ever which thus far has not been published.
1t is to the effect that Donnelly was para
lyzed as q result of the cold plunge and camo
near dying. Auburn people have known
the family since his wife was Amanda Grant
man and his sister Mrs. 3. D. Cory, of 81
Moravia street. Donnelly himself describes
the rescue and the result
'I was general foreman of the f. A. Null
grew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street, N. Y,
on the East river. It was on the Goth Of
April, 1889, that the boy fell into the river
and rescued him from drowning. At that
! time was in the water so long that 1 was
taken with a deathly chill, and soon became
| so stiffened up and weak that Icould neither
| work nor walk. For some time l was un-
der treatment of DIR. George Mcdonald, who
said had Locomotor Ataxia. He finally
gave me up, anu on Uuc lSJ Ol June, lOos, my
wife and l came up to Auburn.
"When the disease first came upon me
the numbness began in my heels, and soon
the whole of both my feet became affected.
There was cold feeling across the small of
my back and downwards, and q sense of
| soreness and tight pressure on the chest.
| The numbness gradually extended up both
legs and into the lower part Of my body.
| felt that death was creeping up to my vitals.
was still taking the medicine ('It was
Iodide of Potassium said his wife), and
was being rubbed and having plasters pu,
| all over my body, but with no benefit.
~ sent to the Chas. II. Sagar Company
the popular Auburn druggists and chemists
at 1U9 and Ill Genesee street, and got three
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills and begun
taking them. In three weeks time was sc
improved that from being helpless, ! was
able to help myself and to get up and go II
work, aud to walk every day from No. a
Walnut street, where l then lived, to Os

my wife, and who was here on visit, be
gan to poo-huo at me for taking Pink Pills
and finally persuaded me to stop taking
them and let him treat me. When he re
turned to the West he left a prescription
with Dr. Hyatt, of Auburn, who also treated
me. But their treatment did me no good
and after while the old trouble returned
and / was getting bad again. Then l begal
