Stricken with Landry's Paralysis and

Nov comes the part that has astound-
ed the physicians. Rev. Mr.. Gondy, a
clergyman who visited me in my last
hours, as he supposed, told me of the
marvellous cures of paralysis that had
been performed by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. [ started to take
the pills about April %, and a week after
that felt an improvement in my condition.
There was warm, tingling sensation in
