Of garrulous old gentleman, asked the re.

eager for everything new. have you heard
of the news in Genevag" The reporter con.
fesSed that he had not, but asked the far.
mer to tell him anything Of d novel and in
tcres,ing nature which had transpired in
that pretty little hamlet. Well said the
old gentlenin, Geneva has to offer i'm tile
way of wonders something entirely different
from anything ever heard OF before. 1t is
the case OF II man cured of paralysis I"
The reporter t,)k out his note book TO get

Before begin TO tell you what I know

l know he will be pleased to see you and will
tell You all about the matter" The re.
porter. promised him he would see the man
u he didn't live at too great distance, and
the old farmer told his story.
About ten months ago, Marion G. Sales,
q stalwart blacksmith Of s. years. living in
North Adams. Mich, was stricken with pa
ralysis, his legs being affected. While he was
working at his trade, lifting large tire of u
wagon, to set it On the wheel, he fell to the
ground, helpless, and the tire fell on him.
lie was removed to his home, his friends
thinking he was hurt by some misstep.
When the doctor came h0 found that Mr..
Sales had been the victim, not of an acci-
dent, but OF paralytic stroke, and thought
from appearances the ease serious one.
You know, Mr.. Reporter, that oftentimes
blacksmiths are subject to such disease on
account Of the peculiar postures they are
obliged to take. Mr.. Sales was perfectly
healthy man; have known him intimately
from n boy, and know that to be- true; it Is
all the more wonderful, therefore, that Inc
should have this visitation. Soon after this,
perhaps six weeks, he came to his fathers
home here. He had been to Ann Arbor to
seek help and the doctors there gave him no
encouragement. His father, who has lived
here for years, thought better care could be
taken of him here than any other place.
He was confined to his bed or chair for
months unable to take u step and no pros
Pect of over doing SO again, depending upon
his wife or parents to draw him in II chair
from place to place. One of his friends in.
duced him to try q remedy known as DIR.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
you would be astonished to note the pro-
gress the man has made since taking them.
| have given you rather disconnected ac-
count of this case, but every word Of it is
true and you will find it worth your time
to see Mr. Sales and hear from his own lips
the story of his recovery. 1t is the wonder
of the town"
The reporter, making good his promise
and being somewhat curious, proceeded to
Mr. Sales residence 10 hear more of this
wonderful ease After making himself
known the reporter was welcomed by Mr.
Sales. :" hear that your recovery from u
serious paraytic stroke is due to DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People?"
eyes ] am sure that is the remedy that
l am indebted to for my fast returning
health" he said, 1T seems odd. don't it.
