WHY RICHARD GAYLORD LEFT
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,.
A Story In Which There Seems Tinge
of Fate-Mrs. Gaylord Stricken With
Paralysis, and Yet She Has Been
Cured-The Residents of the Mis-
sion District Look Upon 1t as


| Miracle.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal.
Residents of the Mission District of San
francisco have for months been marvel
| ling over the peculiar CASE or Mrs. Anna
| Cay ford, the wife OF Richard Gaylord,
who resides at 313 Seventeenth street.
Several years ago Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord
took up their residence in the Hawaiian
Islands, where MIR. Gaylord, who is by
trade blacksmith, applied himself dill
gently at his occupation, until at length
he had, by reason Of his hard work and
frugality, placed himself and family up
ON q fair way to prosperity. He had be-
gun to look forward 10 the enjoyment of
quiet. happy life upon the beautiful
islands of the Pacific, aud in his fancy
had built for himself and his family
comfortable little home, nestled snug
ly among the deep and fragrant foliage
Of that distant land. lis wife shared
with him in the contemplation of tho
happiness that the future apparently had
in store for Them. She had arrived at
the age at which rest and contentmsnt
count for so much in woman's life,
when she was suddenly stricken with
nervous prostration. Her condition be-
came very serious, and her phi, sician az
vised her that she must leave the IslRn6s
If she wished to regain her health. ACE
ing upon this advice, Mr.. Cayfo dis
posed OF his businesses 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 period of two
months. She WAS treated for some time
by physician, but be was able only
partly to relieve her. She WAC able to
drag herself about the house, but there
was no str ength in either of the affected
limbs.
1t was while she was in this condition
that she noticed in paper the advertise
ment Of Williams PINK Pills. She de-
termined to get 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 experienced
from the time she began taking the pills,
and her story is told in such a plain,
straight forward manner that it is given
| in her own words.
| "When first began taking Williams
Pink Pills" said Mrs. Gaylord, Il had
absolutely no strength in either limb of
the left side OF my body. The treatment
of my physician had partly relieved the
paralysis, but after he had applied all his
remedies l Was still il practically help
less condition. Before l had taken one
full box of the pills began TO feel a re-
|
been so long useless. Feeling treasured
by the first effect Of the pills upon me,
purchased d second buX, and continued to
| take thoIn until | had used six boxes,
when the last trace of paralysis had left
my body and had regained the full nse
of my limbs. You cannot imagine how
delighted Twas when felt that my old
time activity was returning. 1t remind
| ed me of the days when WAS so STRONG
and healthy at my island home. do not
know what stronger testimony I could
give as to the merits of Williams Pink
| Pills than to say that they have restored
mo to such q degree of strength that l
now do all my own work without the
least Inconvenience, which is as much as
I over did before l was stricken with
paralysis. But that is not all. almost
forgot to say how the pills have relieved
me of certain hesitancye in speech,
| which has troubled me for years. My
tongue nsed TO become thick, and l
would lisp most dreadfully and could not
help myself. / noticed that after began
taking the pills | could talk more easily,
and finally / was entirely relieved of the
| lisping that affected my speech. / have
| taken the trouble to recommend the pills
to an old lady who is afflicted with par
alysis. l have not seen her since she be-
gan taking them, but her husband told
me, just the other day, that sho had
| been greatly benefited by them"
Mrs. Cayford's friends are amazed at
| her sudden recovery from such q severe
paralytic stroke, and stand in wonder
ipent while she repeats the story of her
suffering and her cure.
