my hands. Doctors Lee and Spencer of
Rochester finally pronounced my case
progressive locomotor ataxia, said it was
incurable. and that they could only ease
my sufferings and so | lay. Up to this
| time | had been sick nearly two years.
| Before this and for several months |
was confined to my bed. Pins stuck
into my limbs the full length gave me
no feeling whatever; my legs seemed
wooden. To pound them gave off a
noise like wood. So l say, as lay there

made affidavit, as you see.'

Dear Sifs:-My son Fred has just writ
ten you letter concerning himself to
which l desire to add few words in
entire coroboratiop OF ali he has said.
He has told you of his agony and his
cure. The remembrance of the whole
| thing makes me shudder as | think OF
it. 1t is all too wonderful for me. | was
resigned to his fate. Now as l look at
| him walking about and feeling well,
with his old health and ambition res
turned, it does seem that he has been
been born again and rescued from death
| for fact. Could l, therefore, say too
much to you of thanks in the fulness of
my gratitude? Can we'll cease blessing
you? Yet the intensity of my feelings
make my words of thanksgiving to you
seem but empty indeed; for the lost is
nd ba hot iy oil

Yours HARRIET J. kIMBALL.

Mrs. Kimball said, "Whie l believe
in answer to prayer and prayed ear

woman, and believe my prayers were
answered, do think Pink Pills We're

sons cure. | want you TO meet my
daughter. Mrs. G. II Morrison, with
whom we are all living here, and the
Rev. George Fairlee. pastor of West
minister Church, who lives with us, and
hear what they haye to say So Mrs.
Kimball brought them in, and while the
story as told was most complete and
could be added to by nothing they might
say, yet the reporter heard from the lips
of the sister and their pastor, corobative
words of all that has been said. The
reporter also ran across the on-in-law,
Mr.. q. H. Morrison, cashier of the
| National Bank of Troy, and spoke to
| him of Mr. Kimball. He is busy man
and though he could only pe detained
for moment, he said; 81 know nothing
of the case technically He says he
was cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and | think that is about the size of it''
Mr.. William H. Fiandreau, the drug
gist at S14 River St., Troy, said sit is
the most wonderful cure from locomotor
ataxia-a so-called incurable disease.
Mr. Kimball tells me he owes his recovery
to Pink Pills entirely and have every
reason to believe him"
