Morris Presianer of No. Pitt Street,
New FORK, who is a real estate agent
and collector of rents, caught severe
cold early last spring, which settieu
upon his kidneys. Soon he began 10
suffer severe pain in his backbone, SIDES
and chest. His symptoms grew raploiy
more alarming, until at last he was as
helpless as a child and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed.
Though a native of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
laner has lived in this country for forty
years. having served the country OF ms
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
a member of Koltes Post, G.. A. r., ana

Post.
Mr.. Preslaner told a reporter the story
Of his dreadful illness and wonderful
recovery. The reporter met MN as ne
was returning from long walk, anu
saving that he had heard OF his won
derful cure, asked him to tell the story.
His words were as follows: ITO begin

strength I had in my legs left me and
was unable to stand. The pain In my

electric battery I bought failed to helE
me, and for weeks felt myself gradu'

"Some time before this l had read OF
a wonderful cure a man had received
