From the Philadelphia Record
Very little is heard by the general pub
lie OF the great discoveries in medicine, and
the countless scores of lives that are saved
by the advancing knowledge of medical
science. Diseases, which few years ago
Daf1led the most eminent physicians and
were believed to be absolutely incurable,

Ter cause to appreciate this han Richard
a! william OF Bustleton, Pa Mr.. William
IS retired calico print manufacturer. and
oele re MS health began to trouble him he
carried on an extensive business, both in
Bustleton and Holmesburg. He is % years
OF age, has trayeled.widely and is a man of
more IMAM ordinary education and intelli-
gence. A reporter who visited him found
him strolling eisurely through the grounds
surrounding his pleasant home. Mr. Will
ian was ut first decidedly averse to the
unwelc0me publicity which he felt would
follow the story OF his case in the news
papers. Realizing, however, that it might
be the means of bringing relief tn others
who were suffering as be had suffered he
finally consented.
IF it had not been for one of the recent
discoveries of medical science believe
would be lying helpless in bed instead of
enjoying this stroll" he began. "My trou-
bes really date back to several severe falls
l received when ay0ung man, but suffered
o great inconvenience until 1858 My first
sensation was great difficulty In walking
AS this feeling grew more Intense l finally
called in well-knOwn physician OF
Hulmesburg. who Immediately told me that
L had lOcUmotOr ataXla, and placed me-
under active treatment. Instead OF get
ting better | seemed to grow worse, and /
was scarcely bile to get around. A year
after l became his patient he told me that
he would have to give me I'D. he gave
me to understand that l must resign my
self to condition Of utter helplessness
until death came to my relief. AT last
L got so that ! could not walk at
all my limbs went back On ME entirely,
and l was just able to sit up. then
called in DR.. Bull, then In Philadelphia,
but now a resident of Chicago. He recon-
mended sun baths, and had sun parlor
erected for the purpose. but my trouble
did not yield to such treatment, and finally
| abandoned it. In April last | received
letter from a Mr.. Gran tier, a friend of
| mine in Elmira. n. Y, telling me how a
new medicine called DR.. Williams Pink
Pills was performing astonishing cures in
the severest nerve diseases, and advising
me to give them trial. Not knowing the
scientific nature of DR.. Williams remedy,
and believing that it was an ordinary med

with it. But l reflected that in my miser-
able condition it could do me 10 harm at
| least, and / sent TO the drugstore and pur-
chased one box. After the third box L
began to feel some benefit. My whole sys-
| tenn seemed better. j kept taking the
| pills, and one day to my great joy | dis
covered That | could walk little. From
that time on my recovery has been rapid.
Now, after using Pink Pills for five
h., frn, - haln
