(From The OslUegO, N. y. Palladium
No citizen of this village is better known
or more highly respected than Theodore j.
Wheeler, who has lived here for nearly half
a century. Five years ago he was stricken
with paralysis and was in its worst form.
The physicians said that he would surely
die. But Mr.. Wheeler did not die, and it is
to tell the readers of the Palladium about
his almost miraculous recovery that re-
porter called upon him.
Despite his siXty-fve years of age, and
the intense mental and bodily Affections, he
has been obliged to endure for nearly five
years, Mr.. Wheeler is still fine looking
man. He answered the repOrters'S ring at
the door bell in person, and invited him in
to his coy sitting room, where he told the
following story:
sit was on the morning of Nov. 81, 1888,
that l was stricken down. attempted to get
up in the morning as usual, when found that
i could not use my limbs or feet. At first l
thought they were asleep and rabbed them
briskly with my hands for several minutes,
but without result. Finally got back into
bed and sent for DR.. s. nj. Bennett of this
village. He informed me that had suffered
what is commonly called a stroke of par
alysis.' could not believe it at first, but
the numbness continued to spread, accom-
panied by a prickling sensation, until the
entire lower half of my body, as well as my
legs, was affected. My bowels and kidneys
refused to perform their functions, and
was only relieved by mechanical process. L
was not satisfied with DIR. Benefits diagno-
sis, and sent for DR.. Low, of Pulaski. He
only confirmed DR.. Benefits statement and
advised me to get ready to die. For six
months l lay in bed at the home of my
niece. Mrs. G. A. Penfield, unable to turn
over in bed, hardly, and requiring constant
attention and care. Finally grew used to
my helplessness and would crawl out of
bed, aud getting partially dressed would
drag my body about the house using my
hands like an infant when creeping, but
unable to help myself in the least with my
Lower limbs. There was not the slightest
feeling in the lower part of my body and
needle thrust into my afflicted parts would
not produce the slightest pain. This went
on until eight months ago. One day l read
in the Palladium of Canadian gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who had
found relief il DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
In the symptoms described by the sufferer
read an almost exact counterpart of my own
Affections, and L determined to give the
medicine trial. Before l could hardly
hope for results l began to feel marked
Improvement in my condition. First my
kidneys and then my bowels began again,
after lapse of over four years, to perform
their natural functions. The numbness left
my body and the sense of feeling returned.
This continued until the numbness had left
my limbs entirely. Now can go up to the
village with one cane and in the house go
around without any. 1t is with the greatest
pleasure that L recommend DIR. Williams
Pink Pills to the public. / know what they
have done for me and l believe they will
help others similarly afflicted"
