Last summer Mr.. d. II. Allyn of this
place. worked for the b. & NJ. r. r.. as u
section hand on the section extending east
from Tecumseh. the county seat OF johnson
County, Nebraska. On the I'd day of July
he met with an accident that nearly cost
him his life. He and five other men were
working hand car in front of which was
a push car. Mr.. Allyn was standing on
the front part Of the car, with his buck to-
wards the direction in which tho car was
being run. Just rs the two cars came to-
gether the foreman ordered him to step
from the car on which they were riding
on to the push car, and at the same. time
signaled another of the men to apply the
brake, which slackened their speed enough
to cause u gap of few feet between the
cars,
In stepping back to comply with the
order he fell upon his back in the middle
Of the railroad track and the car, with its
load OF five men, tools and water keg. in
all Weighing fully ton, passing over him.
A rod on the underside of the car caught
his feet and doubled him up so that his
feet struck his face. AS he rolled over,
the bull-wheel struck his back and in
| flicted the injury that came so near PROV
ing fatal. The car was raised from the
rails and thrown off the track.
He was carried to town and DIR. Snyder,
was summoned. Afterwards DIR. u. Q.
| Gafford, DR.. Yoden and DR.. Waters, all of
| Wymore, Neb., were called in Consulta-
| ton, but they could afford no relief, About
| the LIST of October he became paralyzed
from his waist down. The sense Of feeling
entirely left his legs, which became drawn
| one across the other. DIR. Livingston, of
| Plattsmouth, Neb., the head physician Of
the u. IL NJ. K. r. system was summoned
| to treat the case, but finally informed his
| patient that he could not live to see July,
1888. He had not the means to pay the
expenses of a law suit against the railroad
company, but the company's attorneys
very willingly compromised the claim for
damages by paying him 5000. His con-
dition continued to grow worse, the excru-
ciating pain in his back never ceasing
until upon the recommendation and by
the request of a lady friend, Mrs. w. u.
Swan, of Tecumseh, Neb., he bagan tax.

Herald reporter he said, 81 had no more
faith in them than would have had in
eating handful of Dirt" He commenced
taking the pills on the I'd day of February,
taking one after each meal, and in ten
days time, to his surprise and intense de-
light, the pain began to leave him. For
seven months he had suffered continuously
and his joy when relief came can be
imagined but not described. He continued

May About the middle of March he
could 60 about his ordinary work without
any inconvenience. He considers himself
entirely cured and feels as we'll as he ever
did, except that his back is not as strong
as II was before he was hurt.
