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 g. 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 he was as
helpless as child, and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed.
Though native Of Berlin, Mr.. Pres
laner 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
a member OF Koltes Post, G. A. r., and
is one OF the most popular -.en in the
Post.
Mr., Preslaner told reporter the story
of his dreadful illness and wonderful
recovery. The reporter met him as ne
was returning from long Walk, ana,
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 a year and
month ago, having taken a severe cold
which settled on my kidneys. At hrst
/ thought the pain that I had suffered
would coon pass away, but, instead OF
doing this it grew more intense every
day, 80 that In a week I could walk only
with considerable difficulty.
II called in doctor, who said 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 medi-
cine for several weeks, but experienced
no relief. DR.. Truman Nichols, OF NO;
287 East Broadway, whom 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
1 was unable to stand. The pain in my
back and sides became almost unbear.
able, and my limbs grew cold. An
electric battery bought failed to helr
me, and for weeks I felt myself gradu-
ally growing weaker until all hope left.
"Some time before this had read OF
a wonderful cure man had received
from DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, but was SO prejudtced against
what thought was a patent medicine
Of the usual worthless character thai
I 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 the
man who had been cured. They were
precisely the same as mine, and al
last, with my wife'sAearnest entreaty,
consented to try the Pink Pills.
IT 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 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. / was still very
| weak, but before had taken the fourth
box was able to get down stairs for c
short walk in the open air. Now fee
as If had been born again and am a.
happy as child"
