From the Courier, Seneca Falls, ~ Y.
Milton Weaver, who lives on Throop Street
Seneca Falls, N. Y, was soldier in the late
war, serving in the Third Wisconsin Cavalry
In 1862 while being transported from James,
vile to Chicago. the train was wrecked by a
broken axle. which threw the cars down IN
embankment.
With many others. Mr.. Weaver assisted in
rescuing his less fortunate companions, and
while lifting the wreckage from the wounded
men, he received an injury to his spine that
rendered his lower limbs useless. besides rup-
turing himself. He was taken to 81. Louis
where he received the best medical treat
ment, but without getting any relief. He
was then taken to Fort Leavenworth, but
with no better success. While at the latter
place he was examined by the Board OF
Medical Examiners, who pronounced his
case.a hopeless one, telling him that although
he might live for years, he would always be
helpless.
Since then he has spent thousands of
dollars, but has never been able to get any
relief, and he felt that he would always be
compelled to drag himself about with the aid
OF crutches. Four years ago he was
taken worse, was not able to get
about even with the aid of crutchss.

wholly dependent on others.
He remained in this condition until n little
more than year ago, when he was induced
by hearing OF a former friend whose case was
similar to his own, who had been to New

Improvement was apparently permanen,
and he again commenced taking them, and
before another box was gone he was able to
walk and also to do light work, which he
had never hoped to do again. He has taken
altogether only ten boxes.
Mr.. Weaver was born in Seneca Falls,
where, with the exception of few years
spent In the West, he has always lived. and
his condition and marvellous cure is we'll
known and can be easily verified.

was nothing less than miracle, and that II
