counts for what they were worth, and are
happily able to supplement same to-day by
an equally striking case near home. The
case is over in Madison county, at Solsville,
and the subject is Mr.. Philander Hyde, who
told the reporter the following:

in bed. The doctors said they could only
relieve the pain, and for the purpose he took
pint of whiskey 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
cut OFF all stimulants. In ten days after
father began taking the pills, he could get
out of bed and walk without assistance, and
has continued to improve until now he
walks about the house and the streets by
the aid of a cane only"
"Yes,' said Mr. Hyde, ''and the pain has

days, and cannot hope to recover my old
vigor as a younger man might, but am so
thankful to have the use of my limbs and to
be relieved of those dreadful pains"
Others in Solsville are taking Pink Pills,
notably the mother of Abel Curtis, who is
using them with satisfactory effect for rhou-
matism, and Mrs. Lippitt, wife of exSen-
ator Lippitt, is using them with much bene-
fit for nervous debility. "
