A Lawyers Testimony.
From Me Herald, Potsdam. N 7.

George Boardman Stacey, of Nicholville,
st. Lawrence County, New York. has for
many years ranked as one Of the brightest
lawyers in Northern New York and for the
past twenty years has been the acknowledged
leader of politics in the east end OF this great
county. Mr. Stacey was admitted to the bar
in 1865, and up to October, 1895. continued
to practice his profession. All this time,
however, tho strain of active political work
had been undermining his once iron consti-
tuition, and during this month of October he
suffered a stroke OF paralysis which left him
practically helpless. For weeks ho wEs in
terrible condition, the efforts of the doctors
proving of no avail. All at once he began to
recover, however, and was soon seen about
town again, frcquenting his former haunts
and shaking hands with his old friends and
ucquaintancCs. Ills rapid recovery was the
talk OF the town, and a reporter hearing OF
the wonderful cure decided TO visit Mr..
Stacey and ascertain If possible its cause.
Mr.. Stacey was inclined to be commuuca-
tive, and the following is his story Of his ill
ness and cure:
81 was presiding over a political meeting
and had Just arisen to give IL friend who was
to address tho meeting rousing sendolf,
when to my astonishment | discovered |
could not talk. My tongue seemed para
lyzed. ! managed to say n few words, how
ever, and took my seat where by shear will
power managed to sit until the meeting
was finished. On arising to 60 home, how
ever, found 1 could not walk and seemed
to have lost control OF my limbs. ! was as
sisted home, but on feeling better in the
morning l went down TO my Office. Here l
suffered another shock which left me fat on
my back. finally recovered sufficiently to
get up, but w0s left complete physical
wreck. could not half talk or guide my
self at ALL l could not write or even hold a
pen, and was unable to transact any busl-
ness. | wns like drunken man and went
staggering about.
"The doctors did all they could for ne but
still failed to improve. l had always been
greatly opposed to patent medicines in any
form, hut on the recommendation OF my
druggist Ira II. Smith, finally decided TO
give DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
"A trial and see if they would do me any
good. To my great surprise began to no.
tice an improvement before | had taken
half box, and by the time had taken three
boxes felt like a new man. As nothing else
seemed to help me | lay my recovery to tho
Pink Pills for Pale People. On going to
Newark, NV Jersey, in April, | gave up
taking tho pills, and have not since returned
TO using them, although | am confident they
are II splendid thing, and | will probably use
them again"
Mr.. Stacey's remarkable case is but one OF
n thousand others which have been cured by
these magic pills where ali else had fuiled.
