ease, LocomOtor Ataxia.
F'rom 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
few years ago baffied the most eminent
physicians and were believed to be alb
solutely incurable, succumb today as
readily as the most trifling ailment. No
one, perhaps, has better cause to appre-
ciate this than Richard A. William, of
Bustleton, Pa. Mr.. William Is a retired
calico print manufacturer, and before
his health began to trouble him he car
rted on an extensive business, both in
Bustleton and Holmesburg. He Is fifty
three years of age, has travelled widely,
and is a man of more than ordinary ed
ucation and intelligence. A reporter
who visited him found him strolling leis-
urely through the grounds surrounding
his pleasant home. Mr. William was at
first decidedly aVerse to the unwelcome
publicity which he felt would follow the
story of his case in the newspapers. Re
altzing, however, that ii might be the
means Of bringing relief TO others who
were suffering as he had suffered he
finally consented.
IF 1t had not been for one of the re-
cent discoveries of medical science. l
| believe / would be lying helpless i'm bed
instead of enjoying this STROLL" he be-
gan. My troubles really date back to
several severe falls / received when a
young man, but 1 suffered no great in
convenience until 1883. My first sensa-
tion was great difficulty I'm walking. AS
this feeling grew more intense l finally
called in well-known physician of
Holmesburg. who Immediately told me
that L had locomotor ataXia, and placed
me under active treatment. Instead Of
getting better l seemed TO grow worse,
and l was scarcely able to get around.
A year after l became his patient he
told me that he would have to give me
up. He gave me to understand that I
must resign myself TO a condition of
utter helplessneSs until death came to
my relief At last l got so that 1 could
not walk at all; my limbs went back
on me entirely, and / was just able to
sit up. | then called i'm DR.. Bull, then
| in Philadelphia, and now resident OF
Chicago. He recommended sun-baths,
and / had a sun-parlor erected for the
purpose, but my trouble did not yield
! to such treatment and finally 1 aban-
doned It, In April last, l received a let
ter from Mr.. Grantier, a friend of mine
I'm Elmira, ". Y, telling me how a new
| medicine called DR.. Wiliiams's Pink Pills
was performing astonishing cures i'm the
| severest nerve diseases, and advising
me to give them a trial. Not knowing
| the scientific nature of DR.. Williams's
remedy, and believing that 1t was an
| ordinary medicine. l was at first inclined
not TO bother with it. But / reflected
that in my miserable condition it could
do me no harm at least, and 1 sent TO
! the drug store and purchased one box.
After the third box l began TO feel some
! benefit. My whole system seemed bet
| ter. 1 kept taking the pills, and one
! day to my great joy I discovered that
| could walk a little. From that time on
my recovery has been rapid. Now. after
| using Pink Pills for five months. from
| a condition of utter helplessness l am
able to walk one mile every day without
] Inconvenience. / take my one-mlle spin
around the house every day now. L
| haven't walked that distance before for
! three years. | find that l can ascend
/ the hilly road which leads to our house
| with ease. / noticed a general improve
| ment in my health from week to week.
! and my feet no longer feel as though
| they were weighed down with lead. I
| ascribe this wonderful change solely 10
| Pink Pills. My mother is very enthu-
| siastic over the pills. and thinks Dr.
| Williams ought TO have his great dis
/ covery proclaimed from the housetops."
An analysis Of DR.. Williams's Pink
| Pills shows that they contain, in
/ a condensed form, all the elements nee
| essary to give new life and richness TO
! the blood and restore shattered nerves.
! They are an unfailing specific for such
| diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
| ralysis. ST. Nitus' dance. sciagica, neural
! gia rheumatism, nervous headache. the
/ after effect of la grippe, palpitation of
! the heart, pale and sallow compilations,
| all forms Of weakness either in male or
| female. and all diseases resulting from
| vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills
! are sold by all dealers. or will be sent
| post paid on receipt of price. go cents a
! box, or six boxes for S2.50-they are
