A Disappointed Life.
WHY RICHARD GAYLORD LEFT THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
A story i'm Which There Seems a Tinpe
of Fate-Mrs. Gaylord stricken with
Paralysis, and Yet She Has Been
Cured-The Residents OF the
Mission District Look Upon
1t AS Miracle.

From the Examiner, san Francisco, Cal.
Residents of the Mission District OF
San Francisco have for months been
marveling over the peculiar case Of
Mrs. Anna Gaylord the wife of Richard
Gaylord, who resides at 3l3 Seven
teenth Street. Several years ago Mr..
and Mrs. gaylord took up their resi-
dence in the Hawaiian Islands, where
MIR. Gaylord, who is by trade black
smith, applied himself diligently at his
occupation, until at lenght he had, by
reason of his hard work and frugality.
placed himself and family upon fair
way to prosperity. He had begun to
look forward TO the enjoyment of a
quiet, happy life upon the beautiful
islands of the Pacific, and in his fancy
had built for himself and his family a
comfortable little home, nestled snugly
among the deep and fragrant foliage
of that distant land. His wife shared
with him in the contemplation of the
happiness that the future apparently
had i'll store for them. She had arrived
at the age at which Ast and content
ment count for so much in woman's
life, when she was suddenly stricken
with nervous prostration. Her condi-
ton became very serious, and her ply
sician advised her that she must leave
the Islands if she wished to regain her
health. Acting upon this advice, Mr..
Gaylord disposed of his business and
removed to San Francisco. Mrs. Cay
ford improved slightly with the change
of climate until July, 1898, when she
was stricken by paralysis of the left
arm and leg, and was entirely deprived
of the use of those limbs, having to
be carried about the house by her hus-
band for period of two months. She
was treated for some time by a physi-
clan, but he was able only partly to re-
lieve her. She was able to drag her.
self about the house, but there was no
strength in either of the affected limbs.
1t was while she was in this condi-
ton that she noticed in paper the
advertisement of Williams Pink
Pills. She determined to get box of
them and try them, thinking, as she
said, that at least she could not be
injured by them. Mrs. Gaylord tells
of the relief she experienced from the
time she began taking the pills, and
her story is told in such a plain,
straightforward manner that it is
given in her own words:
when l first began taking Will
liams' Pink Pills." said Mrs. Gaylord,
II had absolutely no strength in either
limb of the left side of my body. The
treatment of my physician had partly
relieved the paralysis, but after he hat
applied all his remedies l was still il

Feeling treasured by the first effect Of
the pills upon me, purchased a second
box, and continued to take them unit
l had used six boxes, when the last
trace of paralysis had left my body
and had regained the full use of my
limbs. You cannot imagine how de

Mrs. Cayford's friends are amaze,
at her sudden recovery from such
severe paralytic stroke, and stand il
wonderment while she repeats tn
story of her suffering and her cure.
