1t the Cost Of His Own--After Years
OF sufferlne He Is Restored to Health
HIS story - Told to Reporter of
the Auburn bulletin.
Auburn IN Y) Bulietin.l
1t is on record that upon a chilly April
day, q few years ago, an eight-year-old
boy fell into the East river at the foot of
East Eighth street, New York, and when
all efforts to rescue him had failed,
Edward Donnelly, at risk of his own
life, plunged into the water and, when
himself nearly exhausted, saved the boy
from drowning. 1t was humane and
self-sacrifcing deed, and received de-
served commendation in all the news
papers.
There is sequel to this accident, how
ever, which thus far has not been pub
lished. 1t is to the effect that Donnelly
was paralyzed as result of the cold
plunge and came near dying. Auburn
people have known the family, his wife
being Amanda Grantman and his sis
ter Mrs. S. ID. Cory of 21 Moravia street.
Donnelly himself describes the rescue
and the result:
81 was general foreman of the F. A.
Mulgrew Saw Mills, foot of Eighth street,
New York, on the East river. 1t was on
the 10th OF April, 1889, that the boy fell
into the river and l rescued him from
drowning. At that time / was in the
water SO long that was taken with
deathly chill, and soon became so stiff
fened up and weak that could neither
work nor walk. For some time was
under treatment of DIR. George McDon-
aid, who said | had locomotor ataxia.
He finally gave me up, and on the 1st of
June, 1892, my wife and | came up to
Auburn.
"When the disease first came upon
me the numbness began in my heels,
and soon the whole of both my feet be-
came affected. There was cold feeling
across the small of my back and down
wards, and sense of soreness and
tight pressure on the chest. The numb
ness gradually extended up both legs
and into the lower part of my body. |
felt that death was creeping up to my
vitals. / was still taking the medicine
e it was iodide of potassium said his
wife), and was being rubbed and having
plasters put all over my body, but with
no benefit.
II sent to the Chas. H. Sagar Com
pany, the popular Auburn druggists and
chemists, at 100 aid Ill Genesee street,
and got three boxes of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and began TAX
ing them. In three weeks time / was
so improved that from being helpless,
was able to help myself and to get up
and 60 to work, and to walk every day
from No. "a Walnut street, where l then
lived, to Osborne's New Twine Factory,
Seymour and Cottage streets-more than
mile-where was then employed, but
all the while was taking Pink Pills.
Then DR.. Patchen of Wisconsin, an
uncle of my wife, who was here on
visit, began to poo-hoo at me for taking
Pink Pills, and finally persuaded me to
stop taking them and let him treat me.
When he returned to the West he left a
prescription with DIR. Hyatt OF Auburn,
who also treated me. But their treat
ment did me no good, and after while
the old trouble returned and was get
ting bad again. Then began to take
Pink Pills; have taken them ever since; ;
am taking them now have taken in all
nearly twenty boxes at an entire cost of
less than $40 (my other treatment cost
me pile of money!, and again | am
well and able to work.
If was able, would at my own
expense publish the virtues of DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills to the whole world, and
especially in New York city, where am
| much better known than | am here"

pie without doubt mark the beginning
of more healthful era. They were first
compounded by an eminent practitioner
and used as a prescription for many
years in general practice with almost in
credible success. They are now given to
the public as an unfailing blood builder

weakness arising from watery condi-
ton of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every ill

specific for the troubles peculiar to fe-
males, such as suppressions, all forms of
weakness, chronic constipation, bearing
down pains, ETC., and in the case OF men
will give speedy relief and effect per-
manent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excesses of
whatever nature. The pills are sold by
all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on
receipt of price go cents a box, or six
boxes for $250-they are never sold in
bulk or by the 1000 by addressing DR..
