norris Preslaner, of No. / Pitt street.
New York, who is a real estate agent and
collector of rents, caught a severe cold
early last spring, which settled upon his
Aiuheys. Soon he began to suffer severe
pans IN ms backbone, sides and chest.
i1ls symptoms grew rapidly more alarm
my, until at last he was as HELPLESS as a
cniid and could scarcely move as he Law on
nis pea. AS Mr.. Preslaner is well-known
in 1ne part of town where he resides. he
could to help him.
though a native of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
,aner has lived in this country for forty
Years., having served the country of his
adoption by three years hard service in

lie Is u member Of koltes Post, G. A. r.,
and Il very popular man in the Post.
MT: freslaner told a reporter the story
OF his dreadful illness and wonderful
recovery. The reporter met him as he
was returning from a long walk. and,
r.; ""e 'h", ne udu Hcaru OF MS wonder
~ cure. asked him to tell the story. When
Mr., Preslaner was comfortably seated
III MS pleasant parlor. he told the follow
ing story, which, he said, he hoped every
one who was suffering as he had suffered
would read. His words were as follows:
10 begin with, l was taken sick just Il
year ana a month ago, having taken n Sc
we're cold which settled on my kidneys. At
nrst thought the pain | suffered would
soon pass away. but, instead Of doing this,
II grew more intense every day, 50 that II
a week | could walk only with considera-
bic difficulty.
Il called in doctor, who said I had
locomotor ataXia and began treating me
for 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 Broad
way. who | 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 a
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 me and | was unable
70 stand. The pain in my pack and sides
became almost unbearable, and my limbs
grew cold. An electric battery | bought
failed to help me, and for weeks | felt my
self growing weaker until all hope left me.
Some time before this ! had read Of a
wonderful cure q man had received from
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but was so prejudiccd against what /
thought was a 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,
| thought of what | 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 Ell
treaty, | consented to try the Pink Pills.
Il am now convinced that these pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength
began to return. the desire to live grew
stronger within me. 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. ! was still very weak, but before
l had taken the fourth box | was able to
get down stairs for a short walk in the
open air. Every pleasant day l take Il
walk, and am sure that in u month will
be as well as ever
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
clements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
