Norris Preslaner of No. l Pitt Street
New York, who is real estate agent anG
collector of rents, caught q severe cold early
last spring, which settled upon his kidneys.
soon lie began to suffer severe pain in his
backbone. sides and chest. His symptoms
grew rapidly more alarming. until at last ht
was as helpless as 4 child and could scarcely
move as lie lay on his bed. As Mr.. Pres.
!aneT is ~well-known in the part of town
whereheresides, he mad many sy~mpathizers,
who did all they could 10 help him
Though a native of Berlin, Mr.. Preslaner
has lived in this country for forty years,
having served the country of his adoption
by three years hard service in the civil
var. He enlisted with the Nineteenth
Illinois Infantry, taking part IN many bat
lies and marching with Gen. Sherman 10 the
fea. While in Georgia Mr.. Prcslaner was
promoted to first sergeant for bravery on
he field Of action. He is now 4 member of
koltes Post, G. \. r. and is one Of the
most popular men in the Post.
Mr.. Preslaner told 4 reporter the story Of
lis dreadful illness and the wonderful re-
cOvcry. The reporter met him as he was re-
turning from q long walk, and, saying that
he had heard of his wonderful cure, asked
him 10 tel the story. When Mr.. P~reslaner
was comfortably seated in his pleasant
parlor. he told the following story. which,
ne said. he hoped everyone who was suffer-
ing as ne had suffered would read. His
words were a. follows: ITO begin with, i
was taken sick just Il year and a month ago,
having taken Il severe cold which settled On
my kidneys. At first l thought the pain l
suffered would soon pass away. but. instead
Of doing this, II grew more intense every
dav, so that IL a week l could walk only
with considerable difficulty.
Il called in Il doctor, who said l had loco
motor ataxia and began treating me Tor that
disease. He did me no good, and all summer
long | 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. 2S1 East Broadway, who l at last
called in, helped me more than any of the
other doctors. but along towards fall / grew
worse, despite his treatment. l think DR..
Nichols Is Il good doctor and understood
my case, but despite this fact his medicines
did me no lasting good.
Early in November the little strength /
had in my legs left Inc and Twas unable to
stand. The pain IN my back and sides be-
almost unbcarable. and my limbs
grew cold. An electric battery 1 bought
failed to help me. and for weeks felt my
self gradually growing weaker until all
hope left ne.
Some time before this l had read of a
wonderful cure a man had received from
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but was so prciudiced against what l
thought WAS Il patent medicine of the usual
worthless character that | could not make
my mind 10 try them. AS my pain in
and death seemed coming near, l
Of what l 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 entreaty, l
consented 10 try the Pink Pills.
Il am now convinced that these pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength be-
gan to return, the desire to live grew
stronger within NE. 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. i was still very weak, but before l
had taken the fourth box l was able TO get
down stairs for a short walk in the open air.
Now l feel as if | had been born again and
am as happy as a child. Everypleasant day
| take a walk, and am sure that in i month
will be IS well as ever
