From the Press, Grand Rapids. Mich.

Prominent among the west-side citizens of
Grand Rapids is y. j. Shook, who lives AT 20
Dayton Street Mr.. Shook belongs 10 that
class of natures noblemen who are, in every
ense of the word the bone and sinew of the
nation. He is a selt-maGe man in the fullest
definition of the term. Never having had
the advantages which great wealth can give,
he has always maintained a reputation for
untiring industry and sterling integrity.
About year ago he became i'll from over
work. His sickness took the form of nervous
prostration, the first symptoms being an over
powering headache The physicians whom
he consulted diagnosed his case "a "a severe at
tack of neuralgia, but their treatment gave
him no relief One after another doctor was
called upon but Mr.. Shocks malady grew
steadily worse, and in short time his eye
sight was so affected that he became almost
totally blind. More physicians were consulted,
and he wastold that the optic nerve of his right
eye was paralyzed But none ofthem gave him
any relief from his terrible suhcrings. Day
after day and night after night was passed in
horrible agony, and il seemed rs if the poor
man was doomed to find relief only i'm the
grave. A. each one of the doctors made an
analysis of his case, a different name was
given to his disease until il seemed to the
patient sufferer that he had fallen heir 70
every disease known to the medical profession.
A II food became dstastefu TO him, and il was
only by the greatest effort that his life was
prolonged. To make the matter still worse,
he was unable TO sleep, and thus gain strength
for another days battle with the insidious
monster that was slowly but surely consum-
ing all his vital forces. For three long
months this unequal contest for life con-
tinued, and Mr.. Snooks wife and friends were
in despair He had been given the best of
care by those who nursed him. and the whole
pharmacoppa of remedies known 10 ordinary
physicians had been exhausted. The sight of
Mr.. SHOCKS right eye was entirely gone, and
his condition was, indeed, most pitiablc.
About this time some kind friend induced
Mr.. Shook 10 try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Before he had finished taking one box Of the
famous remedy lac found the first relief he had
known for many weeks. His appetite began
10 improve, and he was able 10 sleep at night
I'm a few days he sat up and his cheeks began
20 take on natures healthy glow. He gained
flesh rapidly rs he continued 10 use Pink Pills
while the pain in his head had entirely dis.
appeared. Mr.. Shocks long illness had en-
tirely incapacitated him for work, but by the
time he had taken the third box Of Or. Will
liams' Pink Pills he was able To resume his
duties. Since that time Mr.. Shook has taken
six more boxes of the pills, and declares that
bis recovery is permanent.
