sergeant and hospital steward II Company
C, 2Sth Pennsylvania Volunteers. My SER
vice was active and while in Georgia
had an attack of typhoid fever, which left
me weak aud ready victim for future
diseases. My kidneys were tnen affected
and this finally developed into spinal
trouble which lasted through my army
service. In 1866 Twas must, ed out with
an honorable discharge and entered the
Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia
as student. l graduated two years later
with diploma but did not practice. AT
that time l was living in Manayunk
One day, after l had graduated, l was
lying on sofa at my home in Manayunk,
when felt cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had suddenly
left them. When | tried to move them
was Mortified at the discovery that l was
paralyzed from my hips to my toes. The
paralysis was complete and IL pin or a
pinch of the flesh caused no pain. | could
not move muscle. | called in DR.. Will
liam C. Todd of Philadelphia. He made a
careful and exhaustive examination of my
case, sounding anu testing and finally an
nounced that my trouble was caused by
inflammation of the spinal cord, and that
l would likely have another stroke of pa
ralysis. l consulted DR.. |. W Gross and
DR.. Pancoast of jefferson College, Phil
adeIphia, with the same result. | called
in DE-. Morehouse, of Philadelphia, who
said that no amount of medicine would
ever prove of the slightest benefit TO me.
One day last September l decided to
| try DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. | sent for one box. l had always
| been troubl ed with sort of VI rtigo after
my first stroke of paralysis to such an
extent that when l got out of bed my
head would swim and | had difficulty in
saving myself from falling. My appetite
was bad, digestive organs ruiled and no
assimilation of food. In addition to my
many other ailments. rheuma Gism held a
prominent place. By the time had fin
comparatively free from these minor ills.
My appetite returned, the digestive organs
got down to their daily grind and the
rheumatism disappeared. | was much en-
couraged and Immediately sent for half a
dozen boxes of the Pink Pills. Relief fol
lowed upon relief with astonishing rapid
ity. First one all would disappear, then
another until the pills got to work upon
the foundation stones of my trouble
paralysis, | felt a sense OF eXhilaration
and the general eff ct was beneficial, be-
coming more 50 each day. Noting this
fact. | increase the dose from one to two
pills after each meal for "A few days. Be
fore | had taken the six boxes of pills, l
was sitting in my chair one afternoon,
when | fell a curious sensatioH ia my left
foot. Upon investigation, / found il
had heXed, oil, in other won ;, become
movable, and could move ii. From that
time on my Improvement was steady and
it wa, not long before | was walking
around on erujches with little or no dis
comfort. 1t was three years before TAX
ing the Pink Pills that l had been able
TO use the crutches at any time. My
health is daily improving and feel sure
that Pink Pills have done me more good
than all the doctors and all t. medicine
in the country and us they are not Cos tly
