During much of this time my sunernSs
have been intense Last winter hat one

not been for hypoderinic injections O! NOR
phine do not think could have lived.
Doctors had assured me that my case was
hopeless They said that there was no
known cure for lOooMotor htaXa and that
all they could do Tor Iue was 10 give me
something to ease my pain. About two
months ago | heard through a friend ri
mine Of George ii. l. Hommclieu. OF New
York, who had been cured OF lOcomOtor
ataxia by pr. Williams Pink Pills for Palo
People asked the doctor il he was willing
should take the pills. He said Oh yes
but Think you will throw away your money.
We'll | started taking the pills, and with
the happiest results. Before began taking
them could not even button my clothing,
and as far as walking is concerned, even
with the aid of rrutrhe~. was entirely help
less. You can see Tor yourself how nu IN
