Paralysis.
From the Press, New York City.

Morris Preslaner of No. l Pitt
Street, New York, who is real estate
agent and collector of rents, caught a
severe cold early last spring, which
settled upon his kidneys. Soon be
began to suffer severe pain in his
backbone, sides and chest. His symp-
toms grew rapidly more alarming,
until at last be was as helpless as a
child and could scarcely move as he
lay on his bed. AS Mr.. Preslaner is
we'll known in the part of town where
he resides, he had many sympa-
thizers, who did all they could to
help him.
Though native of Berlin, Mr..
Preslaner 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 parti in many
battles and marching with General
Sherman to the sea. While in
Georgia, Mr.. Preslaner was pro-
noted to first sergeant for bravery
on the field of action. He is now a
member of Koltes Post, G. A. r.,
and is one of the most popular men
in the Post.
MIR. Preslaner told a reporter the
story of his dreadful illness and Won
derful recovery. The reporter met
him as he vas returning from long
walk, and, saying that he had heard
of his wonderful cure, asked him to
tell the story. When Mr.. Preslaner
was comfortably seated in his pleasant
parlor, he told the following story,
which, he said, he hoped everyone
who was suffering as he had suffered
would read. His words were as fol-
lows: "To begin with, ] was taken
sick just year and month ago.
having taken a severe cold which
settled on my kidneys. At first I
thought the pain I suffered would
soon pass away, but, instead of doing
this, it grew more intense every day,
so that in week T could walk Only
with considerable difficulty.
II called in doctor, who said 1
had locomc tor ataxia and began treat
ing me for that disease. He did
me no good, and all summer long 1
could scarcely attend to my business
at all. Then I called another doctor
and took his medicine for several
weeks, but experienced no relief. DIR.
Truman Nichols, of No. 287 East
Broadway, who I at last called in,
helped me more than any Of the other
doctors, but along towards fall I
grew worse, despite his treatment. I
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 I had in my legs left me and
7 was unable to stand. The pain in
my back and sides became almost
unbearable, and my limbs grew cold:
An electric battery I bought failed
to help me, and for weeks 1 felt my
self gradually growing weaker until
all hope left me,
"Some time before this I had read
of wonderful cure a man had re-
ceived from DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, but was so pre-
JUDGED against what I thought was
a patent medicine of the usual worth
less character that I could not make
up my mind to try them. AS my
pains increased and death seemed
coming near, I 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 wife's
earnest entreaty, I consented to try
the Pink Pills.
81 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 1 left
my bed. This was early in March.
All pain had left me, and that terrible
dead feeling in my legs had gone
awav. Twas still very weak, but be-
fore I had taken the fourth box I was
able to get down stairs for short
walk in the open air. Now l feel as
if I had been born again and am as
happy as a child. Every pleasant
day 1 take a walk, and am sure that
in a month I will be as we'll as ever.
