No citizen OF this villngc is bo..er
known or moro highly respected than
Theodore j.. Wheeler, who has lived
hore for nearly half a century. Five
years ago Ito was stricken with paralysis
and was in its worst form. The phyei-
clans said that hc would surely die. But
MI. " heeler did not die, and It is to tell
tho readers Of tho Palladium about his
almost miraculous recovery that Il re.
porter called upon him.
Despite his sixty-iro years Of aCo, and
tho intense mental and bodily allie.
tons he has boon obliged to endure for
nearly fvo years, MIR. Wheeler 10 still u
!lnc looking man. Ito answered tho re-
por,er's ring at the door bell in person.,
aud invited him into his cozy sitting
room, where he told tho iollowingstory:
at was OH tho morning OF November
81, 1883, that l was stricken down. /
attempted TO get up in tho morning as
usual, when | found that | could not
u.o my limbs or feet. At !irst | thought
they werc nslccp and rubbed them
brisl:,y with my hands for several
minutes, but without reiult. Finally l
got back into bed and acnt for DR.. S. NJ.
I;cnnctt, OF this village. lie informed
inc that | had suffered what Is com.
monty called a stroke OF paralysis.' l
could not believe it at first, but tho
numbncss continued to spread, accom-.
panied by q ~prickling sensation, until
the entire lower halt OF my body, as
well rs my legs, was nllectcd. Ny
bowels and kidneys refused to perform
their functions, and | was only relieved
by mechanical process. | was not eat
islcd with DR.. Benefits diagnosis, and
sent for DR.. Low. OF Pulaski. lie only
confirmed DR.. Bennett's statement and
advised me to get ready to die. For six
months lay in bed ut tho homo Of my
niece, Mrs. G. A. Penfeld, unable to
turn " in bed, hardly, and requiring
constant attention and care. Finally |
grew used to my helplessness and would
crawl out OF bod, and getting partially
dressed would drag my body about the
house, uoing my hands Ike an infant
when creeping, but unable TO help nv.
self in the least with my lower limbs.
There was not the slightcet feeling In
the lower part OF my body and n nendlc
thrust into my afflicted parts would not
produce the slishtcgt pain. This went
on until eight months ago. One day I
read in tho Palladium OF a Canadian
gentleman who suffered from paralysis
and who hud found relief In DR..
Williams Pink Pills. In the
SIMPSONS described by tho sufferer l
read IN almost exac. counterpart OF my
own Affections, and | determined to
give the medicine n trial. Before |
could hardly hope for results l began to
feel 4 marked improvement in my cnn-
di,ion. First my kidneys and then my
bowels began again, after Il lapse Of
ovcr four years, 10 pretorm their natur-
al functions. The nu,nbno:s left my
body and tho sense Of feeling returned.
This continued until the numbness had
left my limbs entirely. Now I can 20
up TO the village with one cane and in
the house I 60 around withou, any. 1t
is with the greatest pleasure that |
recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
the public. l know what they have
done Tor me and believe they will help
others similarly affected"
