4 LANSINGBURG MIRACLE.
A Railway Man Falks-Litera'ly ly
 Half Dead, His Case
Pronounced Hopeless by Prominent Physicians-A Story of Surpassing Interest Verified Under Oath.

From Troy (N. Y,) Times.
 l am the most conservative reporter on the staff. I despise the chimercal, 1 court the real. l burrow in facts. 1 am from Lansingburg. We don't often get a good thing from there, but here is one. F. O.. Kimball last night gave lie the following:
 ''I am a plain, straightforward man. Originally from Lansingburg, where now reside my mother, brother and sister. Sew eral years ago moved to Rochester. There was in the employ of the Erie railroad as yard and freight superintendent. After a strain to my back, caused by heavy lifting, three years ago, Ideveloped so-called rheu- matism. It was an increasing thing for two years-at times worse, again better. I 1 would fall down. My feet and legs soon lost feeling-were numb. This ex- tended to my stomach and at times to my hands. Drs. Lee and Spencer Of Roches- ter finally pronounced my case progressive locomotor ataxia, said it was incurable, and that they could only ease my suffer- ings, and so lay. Up to this time had been sick nearly two years. Before this and for several months 1 was confined to my bed. Pins stuck into my limbs the full length gave me no feeling W hatever; !; my legs seemed wooden. To pound them gave off noise like wood. So say, as lay there was absolutely one-bRlf dead dead from the waist down. There was one word written in large characters all over thaAsick room-C-I-A- ", Life departed 2 from my limbs, that word best expressed what was lett. You. of course, have read of John Marshall The reporter in de- for the remedy which cured him flor Dr. Williams Pink Pills, to Schenectady, N. Y., and tried them. l took them irregu- larly for two months. They didn't seem fO haly of Hdnn V,anr frr~ one of my legs began to prickle- seemed as though rubbed with net ties. Then, perhaps, you think I did not investigate that medicine. began control of my bowels, and after few weeks got ont of bed and tried to stand. At last 1 fetched it. Could walk-now can run. And Pink Pills cured me. The doctors said l couldn't be cured, but I am. What am now telling you is merely reiteration of what long ago wrote to the Dr. Williams Medicine company at Schenectady, and my affidavit to the same is now in their hands. Here is also letter which my mother wrote to them and to which she has made affi- davit as you see."
 1S6 SECOND AVE, LANsINGBURG, N. Y.
 DEAR S1Rs: My son Fred has just writ ten you a letter concerning himself to which desire to add few words in entire corroboration of all he has said. He has told you of his agony and his cure. The rememb brance of the whole thing makes me shudder as think of it. It is ell too wonderful for me. l was resigned to his fate. Now as ] look at him walking about well, with his old health and ambition returned, it does seem that he has been born again and rescued from death for a fact. Could 1, therefore, say too much to you of thanks in the fullness of my gratitudel Can I well cease blessing you? Yet the intensity of my feelings make my words of thanksgiving to you seem but empty indeed for the lost is fonnd, and he that was dead is alive again. Yours, HARRIET J. KIMBALL.
 Sworn and su bscrbed before me this 9th day of April, 1893. M. L. FANCHER,
 Notary rubic.
 Mrs. Kimball said: "W hile believe in $ anweTs to prayer and prayed earnestly for his recovery, for am a Christian woman, and believe my prayers were answered, :. 1 do think Pink Pills were the means the Lord used to effect my son's cure. wantyou to meet my daughter, Mrs. G. H. Morrison, with whom we are living here, and the Rev. George Fairlee, pastor ot Westminster church, who lives with us, and hear what they have to say.' So Mrs. Kimball brought them in, and while the story as told was -;aaS Implete and could be added to by not1ly they might say, yet the reporter heard from the lips of the sister and their pastor corroborative words of all that has been said. The reporter also ran across the | son -in-law, MT. G. H. Morrison, cashier of the National bank of Troy, and spoke to
 
 and though he could only be detained for a moment, he said: ''I know nothing ofthe case technically. He says he was cured by | Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and l think that | is about the size of it. MT. William H. Fiandreau, the druggist | at S14 River street, Troy, said: "It is the | most wonderful cure from locomotor ataxia | "a so-cslled incurable disease. MT. Kim ball tells me he owes his recovery to Pink | Pills entirely, and have every reason to believe him.''
 Pink Pills restore pale people and salow complexions to the glow Of health, and are a specific for all the troubles peculiar to the | female sex, while in the case of men they | effect radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
 These Pills are manufactured by the pr, Williams Medicine Company, Scheme C. tady, N. Y., aud Brockville, Ont, and | are sold in boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or hundred and the public is cautioned against numerous limitations sold in this shape) al 50 cents a box, or six boxes for g. 50, and may be had of all | druggists direct by mail from the Dr. l Williams Medicine Company from either | address.
 ''How is your healtb?" said the caller at the o'clock tea. "Very delicate, ,sre- piled the hostess languidly. 'I am kapt on the strictest regimen. .o And then she | leaned toward the table and began to eat a | dainty luncheon, including ices, maca- roons, pickles. straw berries, marmaIade, | 0}ules, chocolate, charlotte russe and chow |
