George A. Mccarthy, Of Sol Brond-
way, south Boston, who is known to
tie eabre-going public of New Eng
Land as George y. Sanger, thu actor and,
theatrical manager, but VINO has net been
seen on the stage Tor nearly two years
on account CT serious illness, is about to
make his appearance again behind the
footlights. lie is son of William Nc
Carthy, tbs well known dealer In ANTIQUE
furniture. Gnd novelties, at s67 ard 81
fremont Street. Yhera is yery utter
esting story connected with Mr.. MoCgr-
thg's re-sppearence. He told reporter
the story OF his experience as follows:
at is now nearly two years since had
to give UP the stage. l had been playing
through maine, anu my last appearance
was al Bar Harbor. l was taking two
parts, and enc included a song and a
dance turn. For some weeks before /
had felt myself failing in strength, and
at Bar Harbor concluded it was no use
trying to hold out any longer, SO I gave
it up and became manager of IA company
which was also making the Maine cir
Quit. ! carried this along a little While,
but my health kept falling I could
hardly sleep at night, and never in the
morning did awake the least biz re-
freshed. | was tired all the time, and
was lanRuid, pale and weak.
lone day i'll Rockiand fell fainting,
and then was forced to give up business
altogether and como home had fearful
sharp pins in my back Near the kidneys
Later these pains extended 10 my head,
and it seemed that the top would be cut
of, tho pains were SO sharp and strong,
was getting discouraged. l had hardly
any strength left. Any slight effort ex-
hausJed me, and 1 talked with difficulty.
I put myself in the hands of my doct or.
with the instructions for him to do any
thing be would with me to make me
well. For whole month / dosed and
dragged myself with prescriptions. The
month passed and was in q worse con-
dition.
II consulted two separate doctors here
in South Boston. One said I had con-
sumption of the blood and could live but
two years at the longest. Both treated
me, however, but the result was failure
on their part. Then / went back to my
own doctor, and stayed under his treat
ment for four months. All this time 1
had been growing worse, and my trouble
had assumed now form. 1t was q sort
of paralysis. l had four separate attacks
of this. One night [ awoke to find N.Y.
self unable to move hand or foot. [ was
perfectly conscious, YET for the time be-
ing / had lost control of myself. 1t was
caused the doctor said, by stagnation OF
the blood. ! had spent a good deal of
money for doctors and medicines by this
time, and at the end of more than six
months of constant dootorin2 I could
l,oK back and see that the course had
been slowly but steadily downward. So
! gave up my doctor, who had been SO
expensive, but helpless.
Ono day when l was in fathers store
- fellow came in who works in Beck S
uo5on room. He had been sick a short
t.ae before with rheumatism, and he
Ind been cured by using DR.. Wiliams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. He rocoin-
+ en- led them to HE, and the next time
he saw me he gave me a dozen of them.
l tooK them, one after each meal, and
pretty soon began to feel their effects
The first few were hardly noticeable, but
soon found that could walk with less
oxertion. That was the first effect,
was getting strength. Then my bowels,
which never performed their duty unless
I took cathartic began to do their work
/ bought box of the pills and began to
take them regularly. Gradually found
my strength coming back. That fearful
tired feeling began to disappear, al
though very slowly. I had had 1t for
moro than year, and now I was begin
ming to get rid of it. Ny flesh, which
iinQ DtSH 81 ZULU tiitsU W 6teu f6Sb NY
hand On the corner OF @ table, for 10
stance, left the impress of it on my hand,
began to grow firm. I could go to the
city two days i'll succession without feel
ing sick because Of it. 1t cost no less
to walk mp stairs. My breathing became
easier. The pains in my back and head
were less severe and required with less
frequency. I found the pills were doing
me so much good that as soon as my Grst
bhx was used up I bought another. I
continued to improve until l bDcame
we'll Now that means q good deal to
NE. II looked Tor long time as though
I would never be well again. Now l can
walk ZIP stairs as we'll as the next man
l eat and sleep and feel we'll, and am
well. It took about four boxes of the
pills TO make me we'll man, and tbay
after I had treated for nearly eight
months under doctors, and with some Of
the highest patent medicines. i consider
that l certainly owe my health and, pos
sib!y my life, to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills"
