tism extended up my entire side until it

porter. Mr.. Cowan is also an old soldier,

dlarrhna while he was in the army ana has
never until within the past few months, re-
ceived any relief. He stated that he had
taken the wonderful Pink Pills and was
now almost thoroughly cured, so much so in
fact that he has discontinued their use.
He was also paralyzcd in the left side of
his face, the mouth being drawn up ut the
left corner, and he was entirely unable TO
move the muscles of his forehead or to
close his left eye. He states that he believes
1t is owing to the use of the Pink Pills that
he has recovered the use Of his left eye-lid,
which, prior to his taking the pills, had
been fastened down by a physician so that
the sight would not be destroyed from the
eye filling with dust, and ascribes the re-
covcry to the Pink Pills. He has gained
fifteen pounds in weight since last October,
and feels healthier and stronger than at
any time since the war. He intends to
rccommence using the pills with the expec-
tatlon OF q complete recovery from the
paralysis.
