Morris Preslaner, of No. l Pitt street.
New York. who is a real estate agent and
collector of rents, caught a severe cold
early last spring, which settled upon his
kidneys Soon he began to suffer severe
pains in his backbone, sides and chest
His symptoms grew rapidly more alarm
ing, until at last he was as helpless as
child and could scarcely move as be lay on
his bed, AS Mr.. Preslaner is well-knoWn
in the part of town where he resides, he
had many sympathiZers, who did all they
could to help him.
Though a native of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
laner LAS lived in this country for forty
years. having served the country of his
adoption by three years hard service IN
the civil war He enlisted with the Nine
teenth Illinois Infantry, taking part IN
many battles and marching with Gen.
Sherman to the sea. While IN Georgia
Mr.. Preslaner was promoted to first ser
geant for bravery on the field of action.
He is Il member of Koltes Post, G. A. r.,
and very popular man in the Post.
Mr.. Preslaner told a reporter the story
Of his dreadful illness and wonderful
recovery The reporter met him as he
was returning from q long walk, and,
saying that he had heard of his wonder
full cure, asked him to tell the story. When
Mr.. Preslaner was comfortably seated
in his pleasant parlOr, he told the follow
ing story, which, he said, he hoped every
one who was suffering as he had suffered
would read. His words were as follows:
ITO begin with. | was taken sick just
year and Il month ago, having taken Sc
we're cold which settled on my kidneys. At
first | thought the pain l suffered would
soon pass away, but, instead Of doing this,
it grew more intense every day, SO that III
a week | could walk only with considera-
BILE difficulty.
81 called in a doctor, who said I had
locomotor ataXia and began treating me
for that disease. He did me no good, and
all summer long l could scarcely attend to
my business at all. Then / called another
doctor and took his medicine for several
weeks, but experienced no relief. DR..
Truman Nichols, of No. 2S7 East Broad
way, who at last called in, helped me
more than any of the ether doctors, but
along towards fall l grew worse, despite
his treatment | think DR.. Nichols is n
good doctor and understood my case, but
despite this fact his medicines did me no
lasting good.
EARLY IN November the little strength
l had in 10Y legs left me and l was unable
to stand. The pain in my back and sides
became almost UNDESIRABLE, and my limbs
grew cold An electric battery l bought
failed to help me- and for weeks l felt my
self growing weaker until all hope left me.
Some time before this | had read Of
wonderful cure man had received from
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but was so prejudiced against what l
thought was n patent medicine of tbs
usual worthless character that I could not
make up my mind to try them. As ypains
increased and death seemed coming near,
/ thought of what | had read and of the
symptoms of the man who had been cured.
They were precisely the same as mine,
and at last. with my wife's earnest en-
treaty, consented to try the Pink Pills.
81 am now convinced that these pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength
began to return, the desire to live grew
stronger within me- After having taken
three boxes left my bed This was early
in March. All pain had left me, and that
terrible dead feeling in my legs had gone
away. | was still very weak, but before
/ had taken the fourth box | was able to
get down stairs for short walk in the
open air. Every pleasant day l take
walk and am sure that in month will
be as we'll as ever"
