PARALYSIS.
From the Press, New York city.


Morris PIeslaner 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 kidneys Soon he began to
suffer severe pain in his backbone, sides
and chest. His symptoms grew rapidly
more alarming until at last ne was as
helpless as 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 countryeof 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
n member of Koltes Post, G. A. r., and
~ 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 he
was returning from a long walk, and,
saying that he had heard of his won
derful cure, asked him to tell the story.
His words were as follows: ITO begin
with, l was taken sick just year and
month ago, having taken severe cold
which settled on my kidneys, AT first
1 thought the pain that 1 had suffered
would soon pass away, but, instead of
doing this it grew moro intense every
day, so that in & week I could walk only
with considerable difficulty.
II called in a doctor, who said / had
locomotor ataxia and began treating
me for that disease. He did me no good,
and all summer long L could scarcely
attend to my business at all. Then l
called another doctor and took his medi-
cine for several weeks, but experienced
no relief DR.. Truman Nichols, of No
2S7 East Broadway, whom at last called
in, helped me more than any of the
other doctors, but along towards fall 1
grew worse despite his treatment.
B EARLY in November the little
strength I had in my legs left me and
l was unable to stand The pain in my
back and sides became almost unbear-
able, and my limbs grew cold. An
electric battery l bought failed to help
me, and for weeks 1 felt myself gradu-
ally growing weaker until all hope left.
"Some time before this / had read Of
, a wonderful cure a man had received
from DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
! People, but was so prejudiced against
| what l thought was patent medicine
of the usual worthless character that
| l could not make up my mind to try
| them. AS my pains increased and death
seemed coming near, thought of what l
| 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 wfe's earnest entreaty, l
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. l was still very
weak, but before had taken the fourth
box l was able to get down stairs for a
short walk in the open air. Now 1 feel
as IL I had been born again and am as
happy as a child"
