years.
For over twenty-five years Mrs. Hyde has |
been practically u home-ticd invalid. Dur |
ing the earlier wears of her illness u success
sion of fovcis and other ailments peculiar |
to women, led up to n stroke of paralysis
which occurred about ten years ago. At
this time the dread disease laid hold of her
left side aud was what il called wasting or
creeping paralysis. The seven years which
followed its first appearance We're marked
by steady Aggregation of the powers of the
disease and were full of misery. Three
years ago il eliminated in attacking her
right side in the same way, aud there was
little hope Mt the time of her surviving the
second shock. Different physicians were
employed but were unable to alleviate her
suilcrings. In addition to her former sick
ness paralysis is inherited her mother
and her grandmother having been carried
away by it.
REV. Mr.. Hyde, in response to the inquiry
OF Il reporter, said: ''It is ten years since
Mrs. Hyde was first attacked with paralysis,
and about three years ago she had II second
shock. From that time on, for two years,
she was practically helpless. The disease
, left her in such u condition that it was nee
cssary to exclude the visits of our neghbors.
Physicians whom we consulted gave no
hope and medicine which we used appeared
to do no good. About one year ago, in "a pa
per of olie of our cities, noticed an advcr-
| tisemcnt of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, aud sent for some of them
! Two on three weeks after she first began
| taking the pills noticed decided improve
ment From being absolutely helpless she
| gained sufficient strength to be up and about
| the house. and to perform some of the
! lighter duties of the household Steadily
, she has gained little in strength. She is
now able to sec her friends and ncighbors as
| of old, and, on pleasant days, able TO be out.
| At the time Mrs. Hyde commenced taking
| the medicine, her mind was failing but the
| pills have checked that tendency and her
| mind now appears as bright and active as it
| ever was.
s.Thc wasting process in paralysis is ac-
| compauied by most severe pains and cramps
| which occur mt intervals and cause terrible
| suffering. Since Mrs. Hyde began taking
| DR.. Williams medicine. about one year ago.
! these symptoms, with thcir moments of cX-
cruciating pain have Disappeared. Mrs.
| Hydcs left side was paraly2cd first. but she
| is now able to walk about and use her left
! arm more than her right
! At this point in the conversation Mrs.
Hyde entered the room In spite of her
years OF illness she is 4 very fine looking,
to corroboIate what my husband has said in
relation to my case, and to say further. that
before taking the medicine was quite deaf

has also strengthened my crcsioht; has re
| stored my appetite which / had almost en-
tirely lost; and last but not least can sleep.
which could not do before taking these
| pills. / am surprised that anything could
| accomplish so much.n
Yes" said her companion, ''that's it.
2, If the few years that remain to her or us
| can be made reasonably free from pain, and
she permitted to retain her mind, it is Il
great deal. While should not like to be
quoted eXtravagantly ann willing to give
DIR. Williams medicine the credit due: and
what we have said seems to me quite a suf-
ticient recommendation for others and we
do our duty only in saying this"
