Journal, Lewiston, Me-: Mr.. Samuel
r. Jordan is a native of the town of New
Portland, Somerset county, Me-, and has
lived there from boyhood. In 1862 he
enlisted in Company H, Twenty-eighth
Maine Volunteers, and was q member Of
that company until mustered out, and is
now q member of the Isaac A. Pencil
Post, G. A. r. Of the town. While his
army experience left him an impaired
constitution yet for many years he en-
joyed a fair degree of health, so that he
was able to work a portion of the time
at his trade at blacksmithing. Years
ago he was suddenly stricken down with
that dread disease, Locomotor Ataxia.
For many years he was practically help
less, as is we'll known to every one in
that section. That he should have re-
gained his health after 80 many years of
suffering and given up to die by several
physicians whom he had at various
times employed seemed little short of q
miracle, and with a view to get at the
exact truth from the various stories afoat
q Journal reporter lately interviewed MI.
Jordan and we give the story of his re-
markable cure in his own words:
II am 48 years old, and have always
lived in New Portland. I enlisted IN the
army in 1862 as a private in Company A,
Twenty-eighth Maine Volunteers. My
army experience injured my health to
some extent, although I worked at black
smithing some part Of the time, when
suddenly, several years ago, I was pros
trated with what able physicians pro-
nounced Locomotor Ataxia. At first I
could get around somewhat yet the dis
ease progressed quite rapidly until I had
hardly any feeling in my legs and feet.
They felt like sticks of wood, and I grew
so much worse that I could not move for
three years without help, as my neigh
bors and friends could testify. I en-.
ployed several physicians in my vicinity
and elsewhere, and they all told me that
medicines would not help me; that they
could do nothing to effect q cure, and
that in time [ should become entirely
helpless. I became discouraged. I tried
many kinds of patent medicines that
promised relief, but got nc better. I was
q great care to my wife and friends, and
felt that life was hardly worth living.
One day | read in a newspaper an &C.
count of q remarkable cure of a GENTLE
man in a Canadian town of a disease
similar to mine by the use of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
Shortly after I met an old army comrade,
Mr.. All. Parlin, a resident of Madison,
Me-, and he incidentally mentioned how
he had tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for a
severe case of rheumatism and a spinal
and malarial trouble, that he had suffered
with consequent of his army life, and had
been greatly benefited by their use. By
his earnest recommendation I was in
duced to try the pills and I sent for three
boxes and commemorate taking them. After
taking these [ began to feel prickly sen
strenth so I could move them a little. I
procured more of the pills and continued
their use. After q few weeks I began to
feel a marked improvement in my condi.
ton. I oon was enabled to walk around
a little with the help of crutches. I have
now taken seven boxes of Pink Pills, and
feel like a new man. l a walk without
crutches, my general health is much i'm
proved, and I have regained my old-tlme
vigor. l can walk about and enjoy life
once more, for which I feel very thankful,
and this happy result is due to the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills."
Since the above interview Mr.. Jordan
has been seen by the reporter several
times, and he reports that his health con-
tinues good and that he intends keeping
q supply of the Pink Pills constantly on
hand, and that he would earnestly rec
ommend them to all who may be afflicted
! as he has been.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are not a patent medicine in the sense
that name implies. They were first com
pounded as a prescription and used as
such in general practice by an eminent
physician. So great was their efficacy
that it was deemed wise to place them
within the reach of all. They are now
manufactured by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, and
are sold IN boxes never in loose form by
the dozen or hundred, and the public is
cautioned against numerous limitations
sold n this shape) at so cents a box, or
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had of
all druggists or direct by mail from DR..
Williams Medicine Company.
