is the story he told a reporter of his Won
derful cure which has startled Frankfort.
six years ago, while l was working at
my trade as a carpenter, [ fell down stairs
and fractured my skull, sprained my spine
in W places, and sustained other serious
injuries. | Was picked up for d. ad, carried
unconscious OF my surroundings, in fact, l
was out OF my mind. Then | had my
skull trephined OF the Hahnemann hoSpi-
tai" here Mr.. Hart exhibited a small pOr-
ton Of his own skull bUne, which he car
ries as a pocket piece, ,'and l began to i'm
prove, bnt my, spine gave me a great deal
motor ataxia. First l found that l could
not walk without two canes l became so
bent that | felt like a living Interrogation
point. Although l was under treatment by
a skilled physician, l grew rapidly worse.
ION February 14th last,' continued Mr..
Hart, 81 was suddenly seized with loco
motor ataxia. Both my legs below the
knees were numb and completely para
lyzed and | had a painful sensation about
the hips. l fell and wa confined for about
five months in an invalid chair. Brsides
the paralysis Of my lower limbs l suffered
excruciating pains in my back and legs,
could not sleep sOundly, my nerves were
completely upset and my appetite went
back on me. I would frequently go sew
eral days without eating a mOuthful of
food. Once | tried to raise myself in the
crutches but l fell helpless forward and
would have struck the floor had not the
doctor seized me. He told me never to try
and walk again. Then | was seized with
frlgh:ful commissions which came on at in
tervalS.
"One day last June 1 happened to read in
a n~ewspaper'f a remarkable cure, affected
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
of a man up in Maine suffering from loco.
motor ataxia. l told my wife about it; we
both agreed that it would do no harm to
try the pills and We got a supply. Before
l had finished the first lot l was able to
leave my invalid chair. The life blood
again cuursed through my once dead legs,
and | put the chair up in the garrett. 1t has
been there ever since. l have steadily inn
proved ever since and my legs are now as
sound as a dollar. My form is more erect
and | walk with the same spring motion
that l had when | was rs years old. Let
me give you an Instance of my activity"
He picked up a cane, held it with both
hands a Slight distance apart n hoped
through it and back again with the agility
OF a scll0Olboy. That is something very few
young men can do, he said. with a touch OF
pride in his tone.
IL suffer no more pain in my limb" he
resumed, "but my fractured skull gives me
some trouble. | have severe pains in thu
head, beyond these l am a we'll man. ant
l a~cribt my recovery entirely to DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills tor Pale People. Again
repeat, beyond the pain i'll my head l fee
like a young man."
