Hawaiian Islands.

of Fate-Mrs. Gaylord Stricken With
Paralysis, and Yet She Has Been
Cured-The Residents OF the
Mission District Look Upon
IL as Miracle.
From the Examiner. San Francisco, Cal.

Residents of the Mission District of San
Francisco have for months been marveling
over the peculiar case of Mrs. Anna Gaylord,
the wife OF Richard Gaylord, who resides at
313 seventeenth street. Several years ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord took up their resi-
dence in the Hawaiian Islands, where Mr..
Gaylord, who is by trade u blacksmith, ap-
piled himself diligently at his occupation,
until at length he had, by reason OF his hard
work and frugality, placed himself and fam
lily upon fair way TO. prosperity. He had
begun TO look forward to the enjoyment of
a quiet, happy life upon the beautiful islands
of the Pacific, and in his fancy had built
for himself and his family a comforta BILE
little home, nestled snugly among the deep
and fragrant foliage of that distant land.
His wife shared with him in the contempla-
tion of the happiness that the future appaT-
emily had in store for them. She had arrived
al the age at which rest and contentment
count for so much in woman's life, when she
was suddenly stricken with nervous prostra-
ton. Her condition became very serious and
her physician advised her that she must leave
the Islands if she wished to regain her health.
Acting upon this advice, Mr.. Gaylord disposed
of his business and removed to San Francisco.
Mrs. Gaylord improved slightly with the
change of climate until July, 1898, when she
was stricken by paralysis of the left arm and
Leg and was entirely deprived of the use of
those limbs, having to be carried about the
house by her husband for a period of two
months. She was treated for some time by a
physician, but he able only partly to re-
iieve her. She was able to drag herself about
the house, but there was no strength in either
of the affected limbs
1t was while she was in this condition that
she noticed in a paper the advertisement OF
Williams Pink Pills. She determined TO get a
box of them and try them, thinking, as she
said that at least she could not be injured by
them. Mrs. Gaylord tells of the relief she ex-
perienced from the time she began taking the
pills, and her story is told in such plain
straightforward manner that it is given in her
"when first began taking Williams Pink
Pills." said Mrs. Gaylord, 81 had absolutely no
strength in either limb of the left side of nv
body The treatment of my physician had
partly relieved the paralysis, but after he had
applied all his remedies l was still in prac-
tfcally q helpless condition. Before had

return OF strength in the limbs that had been
so hong useless. Feeling treasured by the
first effect Of the pills upon me- i pur-
chased O second box and continued to fake
them until J had used six boxes, when the

to'the merits of Williams Pink Pills than to
say that they nave restored me to such de-
gree OF strength that now do all my own

the trouble to recommend the pills to an old
lady who is afflicted with paralysis. I have
not seen her since she began taking them, but
her husband told me, just the other day, that
she had been greatly benefited by them"
Mrs. Cayford's friends are amazed at her
sudden recovery from such severe paralytic
stroke, and stand in wonderment while she re-
peats the story Of her suffering and her cure
