Remarkable Narrative.


IFrom the Syracuse Standard
During the past few months there have
appeared in the columns of the Standard the
particulars of a number of cures so remark
able as to justify the term miraculous.
These cases were investigated and vouched
for by the albany JOu nd, the Detroit Aeirs,
AibdnU Express and other papers whose rep.
utation is u guarantee that the facts were
as stated. Different schools of medicine
and some of the brightest lights in the pro-
fcssion had treated these cases, unst,cccss-
fully; and their recovery later on, there
fore, and its means, have created aprofound
sensation throughout the country.
The Standard has published the above ac-
counts for what they were worth, and arc
happily able to supplement same to-day by
an equally striking case near home. Tho
case is over in Madison county, at Solsvillc,
and the subject is Mr.. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following:
Il will be 20 in September. | was born
in Drooktield. Madison county, where all
my life was spent until recently, when, be-
coming helpless, l came to live with my
daughter here. Ny life occupation has been
that of Il farmer, | was always well and
rugged until two years ago last winter,
when had the grip. When it left me | had
n sensation of numhness in my legs. which
gradually grew to be stiff at the joints and
very painful. | felt the stiffness in my feet
first. and thCpain and the stiffness extended
to my knees and to my hip joints, and TO
the bowels and stomach, and prevented di-
gcstion. To move the bowels | was COM
PEELED to take great quantities of castor oil.
"Whilc was in this condition, cold feel
ings would begin in my feet and streak up
my legs to my back and would follow the
whole length of my back bone. could not
sleep, | had no appetite, / become helpless.
While in this condition | was treated by n
number of prominent physicians. They did
me no good. l soon became perfectly help
less and lost all power of motion even in my
bed
''Thc physicians consulted pronounced
fathers case creeping paralysis" said Mr..
and Mrs, johnson, and when we brought
him home he had to be carried all the way
in a bed. The doctors said they could only
relieve the pain, and for the purpose he took
II pint of whiskcy a day for three months,
and morphine in great quantities. When he
began taking Pink Pills we stopped giving
him morphine or any other medicine, and
rut of all stinulants. In ten days after
father began taking the pills, he could get
ont of bed and walk without assistance, and
has continued to improve until now he
walks about the house and the streets by
the aid IF Il cane only"
=" NcS, sad Mr.. hyde, and the pain has
gone out of my back and the numbness out
of my legs. ] have no more chills, my dt-
gcstion is good, and l have an excellent ap.
petite" And then, after n pause, But. ah,
me, | am an old man, | have seen my best
days, and ann hope To recover my old
Nlgul as Il younger man might, but | am so
thankful to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains"
