No citizen of this village is better known
or more highly respected than Theodore j.
Wheeler. who has lived here for nearly
half 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
OF die, and it is to tell the readers OF the
Palladium about his almost miraculous
recovery that a reporter called upon him.
Despite his 65 years of age, and the in
tense mental and bodily Affections he has
been obliged to endure for nearly i've
years, Mr.. Wheeler is still fine-looking
man. He answered the reporters ring at
the doOrbel In person, and invited him 10
to his coy sitting-room, where he told the
following story:
ut was on the morning of November q.
1883, that was stricken down. Iattempted
to get no in the morning as usual when L
| found that l could not use my limbs or
| feet. ct first l thought they were asleep
and rubbed them sky with my hanQS
for several minutes. but without result.
Finally got back into bed and sent for
| DR.. S. M. Bennett of this village. He in
| formed me that | had suffered what is
| commonly called Stroke of paralysis l
could not believe it at first. but the numb
ness continued to sITead, accompanied by
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 DR.. Benefits diagnosis and
| sent for DR.. Low of Pulaski He only con
| frmed DR.. Benefits statement and advised
me to get ready>t0 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
heiDlessness and would crawl out of bed
and 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 [ read
in the Palladium of a Canadian gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who had
found relief in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
In the symptoms described by the sufferer l
read an almost exact counterpart of my
own affections, and l determined to give
the medicine trial. Before | could hardly
hope for results 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 re-
turned. This continued until the numb
ness had left my limbs entirely. Now can
90 up TO the village with one cane, and in
the house go around without any. 1t is
with the greatest pleasure that l recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills TO the pub
lie. / know what they have done for me,
and l believe they will help others simi-
larlv aft cted."
