OVERCOME At LAST by THE AID
VANCE OF MEDICAL SCIENCE.
The Testimony of n Man Who Was
Half Dead for Four Years-TO-
day ns Well and Strong
Ever.

CFrom The Oswego y. Y. Palladium)
No citizen Of this village is better known
or more highly respected than Theodore
]. Wheeler. who has lived here for nearly
half a 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
not die, and IL is to tell the readers Of
the Palladium about his almost miracu-
lous recovery that d reporter called upon
him.
Despite his sixty-five years Of age. and
the intense mental and bodily Affections.
he has been obliged TO endure for nearly
five years, Mr.. Wheeler is still a fine
looking man. He answered the reporters
ring at the door bell in person, and in
vited him into his coy sitting room,
where he told the following story:
1T was on the morning Of Nov. u, 1888,
that L was stricken down. 1 attempted
to get up in the morning as usual, when
/ found that 1 could not use my limbs
or feet. At first / thought they were
asleep and rubbed them briskly with my
hands for several minutes, but without
result Finally / got back into bed and
sent for DR.. S. NJ. Bennett of this village.
He informed me that had suffered what
Is commonly called a Stroke Of paralysis
/ could not believe it at first, but the
numbness continued u spread accom-
panied by a prickling sensation, until the
entire lower half Of MY body, as well as
my legs, was affected. My bowels and
kidneys refused to perform their func-
tons, and / was only relieved by me
chanical process. / was not satisfied with
DR.. Benefits diagnosis. and sent for Dr.
Low Of Pulaski. He only confirmed Dr.
Benefits statement and advised me to
get ready to die. For six months / 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
helplesSness 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 feel
ing 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 I read in the Palladium of a Ca
madam gentleman who suffered from
paralysis and who had found relief in
Dr. Williams Pink Pills. In the SYM
toms described by the sufferer l read an
almost exact counterpart of my own
Affections and ! determined TO give the
medicine a trial Before / could hardly
hope for results l began to feel marked
! Improvement in my condition. First my
| kidneys and then my bowels began again,
after lapse of over four years. TO per-
form their natural functions. The numb
| ness left my body and the sense of feel
! ing returned This continued until the
numbness had left my limbs entirely. New
| ! can go up to the village with one cane
| and in the house | go around without any.
| 1t is with the greatest pleasure that I
| recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
] the public. I know what they have done
| for me and I believe they will help others
| similarly afflicted"
