From the Jackson, Mich Patriot
How often are seen people little past
the meridian OF life who, but for the lnger-
ing effects OF some ailment Of an unusually
stubborn nature. might still be enjoying =
robust health, but who ON account of the
lack of remedy to assist nature in throw
ing on the disease, are broken down and
worn out before the, allotted time.
Marcus 5. Lyon, OF 1911 Francis street,
Jackson, Michigan, is one OF the unlor-
tunates. year and half ago Mr.. Lyon
was physical wreck, hardly able to leave
his bed, and his friends had NO idea that he
could survive more than a few months
longer at best. He is, however, today
well man. During the course of recent
conversation with reporter, he gave his
tory of his case and the cause of his recoy-
cry, as follows:
"AbOut two and half years ago 1 had
severe attack Of Influenza which proved
very DAD III IFS effects, and would not yield
TO ordinary treatment. Some four months
later L had another attack, which was fully
as persistent as the first After being treated
by the family physician for some time, l
thought the disease had run into rheuma-
tism, and l treated for the same several
months, all the time getting worse. | kept
getting weaker in the muscles OF my legs,
feet and hands, which were quite sore and
tender. My feet and the lower part of my
| legs, and my hands were badly bloated and
dropslcal and had numb or paralyZed
| feeling, and l could stand on my feet but
| few minutes at time. / became restless
| and nervous, and would awaken twelve or
| fifteen times in the night, and my legs would
snake Tor few seconds, similar to shaking
| ague-but not cold. With all the rest, my
limbs had stiffened and l had not been able
to dress myself for several months. and
some of my friends thought l would not
| live but few weeks. / was looking so
bad and pale and still had taken what the
doctor had ordered all the time. / went to
another doctor for his opinion in my case.
he, Judging from the dropsical condition of
my limbs, said L had Brights disease. L
/ disputed this and another doctor said | had
no indication of it whatever, of which was
confident. DR.. n. III. Williams finally con-
| cluded my blood was out of order and
| asked him for remedy for my bad blood.
This was in February, 1898. He said about
all that could be done was to exercise out
| doors, get my strength when the weather
| got warm. AT last he said he had gone into
my case as far as he could and | dropped
him and his medicine and began to take
| DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
|
days after taking the pills the dropsca con-
dltion and weakness began TO leave my feet
and legs. In comparatively short time l
was nearly cured, and l gained strength so
| that could walk a mile and back. | then
went to work at my trade as a joiner and
starbuilder and have worked almost every
day SINCE My recovery has been wonder
to my friends. / am e5 years old this
month, and my general health has never
been better than it is at present. | can
recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People as a great blood builder and for
general debility. A dozen or more of my
friends have been using Pink Pills on their
merits in my case, with very beneficial
results. L can say the Pink Pills have been
a llie-saving remedy for me, and have given
me Mt least few more years of health and
vigor." MARCUS S. Lyon.
