PARALYSIS.

From the Press, New York City.
Morris Preslaner of No. 1 Pitt Street,
New York, who is a real estate agent
and collector of rents, caught severe
cold early last spring, which settled
upon his kidneys. Soon he began to
suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides
end chest. His symptoms grew rapidly
more alarming. until at last he was as
helpless as a child, and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed.
Though native of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
taner has 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
Nineteenth Illinois Infantry, taking
part in many battles and marching with
General Sherman to the sea. He is now
member of KolteS Post, G. A. R., and
is one of the most popular men in the
Post.
Mr.. Preslaner told a reporter the story
of his dreadful Illness and wonderful
| recovery. The reporter met him as ha
was returning from q long walk, and.
saying that he had heard OF his won
derful cure, asked him to tell the story
His words were as follows: '"To begin
with, was taken sick just year and q
month ago, having taken severe cold
which settled on my kidneys. At first
I thought the pain that I had suffered
would soon pass away, but, instead OF
doing this, it grew more intense every
| day, so that in q week could walk only
with considerable difficulty

| locomotor ataXia and began treating
me for that disease. He did me no good
| and all summer long 1 could scarcely
attend to my business at all. Then
called another doctor and took his medi-
| cine for several weeks, but experienced
no relief. DIR. Truman Nichols, of No
| 2S7 East Broadway whom I at last called
in, helped me more than any of the
| other doctors, but along towards fall
grew worse despite his treatment.
EARLY in November the little
strength had in my legs left me and

back and sides became almost unbear-
able, and my limbs grew cold. Ar

| me, and for weeks I felt myself gradu'

Some time before this / had read OF
a wonderful cure man had received
from DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
| People, but was SO prejudiced against
| what I thought was n patent medicine
| of the usual worthless character that
could not make UP my mind to try
them. AS my pains increased and death
seemed coming near, I thought of what
had read and of the symptoms Of tn,
| man who had been cured. They were
precisely the same as mine, and al
| last, with my wife's earnest entreaty,
| consented to try the Pink Pills.
Il am now convinced that these pill.
saved my life. Gradually my strength
| began to return, the desire to live grew
| stronger within me. After having taker
three boxes I 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 had taken the fourth
box I was able to get down stairs for g
short walk in the open air. Now I fee
