Last summer Mr.. D. T.. Allyn of this place
worked for the B. & N. R. R., as section
hand, on the section extending east from
Tecumseh, the county seat of johnson
County, Nebraska. On the I'd day of July
he met with an accident that nearly cost
him his life He and five other men were
working handcar in front of which was
q push car. Mr.. Allyn was standing on the
front part of the car, with his back towards
the direction in which the car was being
run Just as the two cars came together,
the foreman ordered him to step from the
car on which they were riding onto the push
car and at the same time signaled another OF
the men to apply the.brake, which slackened
their speed enough to cause gap OF few
feet between the cars.
In stepping back to comply with the
order he fell upon his back in the MD
die of the railroad track and the car,
with it's load of five men, tools and water
keg in all weighing fully ton, passing
over him. A rod on the under side OF the
car caught his feet and doubled him up so
that his feet struck his face. AS he rolled
over, the bull-wheel struck his back ana
inflicted the injury that came SO near
proving fatal. The car was raised from une
rails and thrown off the track.
He was carried to town and DIR. snyder,
the B.. & NJ r. r. surgeon at Tecumseh,
was summoned. Afterwards DE-. &C.
Gafford, DR.. Yoden and DR.. Waters, all OF
Wymore, Neb., were called in consultation
but they could afford no relief. About
the LIST of October he became paralyzed
from his waist down. The sense OF feeling
entirely left his legs, which became drawn
one across the other. DR.. Livingston, OF
Plattsmouth, Neb., the head physician OF
the B. & MR.. r. system was SUMMONED
to treat the case, but finally informed ms
patient that he could not live to see July,
1885, He had not the means to to pay pa IT. me ne
company, but the company,s attorneys
very willingly compromised the claim Tor
damages by. paying him $1,000 his con
dition continued to grow worse, the excr97
ciating pain in his back never ceaslng, until
upon the recommendation and by the re-
quest of lady friend, Mrs. ": G. sWa van,
Pulls for Pal ePeople. To the Herald reporter
he said, g Ihad no more faith.in them than
would have had in eating handnl OF
the I'd of February, taking. one after
each meal, and in ten days time, to his
surprise and intense delight, the pain be
suffered continuously, and his JOY, when re-
lief came can he imagined but not described;
He continued taking the Pink Pills until
March he could go about his ordinary work
without any inconvenience. He, considers
himself entirely cured and feels as well
as he ever did, except that his back Is not
as strong as it was before he was hurt.
This spring he moved onto u larm twelve
miles southwest of Wallace, where he has
planted good crop of corn and Is dong
all his wok without any hired help: Shouid
anyone doubt the statement herein made
they ara invited to see him personally or
write to him, and address him at Wallace,
Neb. He is thankful for what Pink Pills
have done for him and is willing to go to
some trouble to let others know OF their
wonderful curative properties. Dr. Williams
