"The suflerings arising from complete ner-
,ous prostration are probably known to but
ssw people in the sense that it is TO me, and
7 trust that | may never be required TO 60
,brouph il again, said Mr.. Hudson Sheldon,
ofMilan, Ohio, TO a reporter of this paper.
"six years ago this fall / was taken with
an attack of grip. This was followed the
next season by another and more severe at
rack which left me with nervous prostration.
81 consulted number of the most prom
;nent physicians Of this section of the country
and took treatment with each Of them but
thew gave me only temporary relief They
told me was threatened with locomotor ataxia
and If did not get help soon there was no
hone for me. Previous 20 the time of the at
tack was an engineer and held good posi-
tion but as | continued 10 grow worse each
day | was compelled TO give IL up and seek
lighter employment.
81 secured position as janitor Of the
school house where my principal duty was
10 attend TO a steam heating apparatus. !
suffered the most severe pains in my head
and back, the least noise would seem 10 drive
me nearly crazy, my nerves were completely
unsrung, my legs and arms were partially
paralyzed and at times i would try to walk
and my feet would not come up, | had no
control over them. | was able 10 walk but
with the greatest difficulty. AT this time |
was compelled TO hire boy to assist me,
Several times | have gone 10 the depot
for the purpose of taking the train 10 Nor
walk a station five miles distant when that
fear brought on by my condition would take
possession of me and | would not dare TO
enter the ear but would return home.
"The feelings of man at such a time are
beyond description, as ! stated before, | had
tried all the doctors, ! took patent medicine,
in fact everything that was brought to my
notice without receiving any benefit. Now
comes the strange part of my story and TO
me the only pleasant part One day when
walking along the street ! CHANGED TO pick
up scrap of a newspaper. This scrap of
paper saved my life. Ii contained an article
on Dr. Williams Pink Pills and | thought
as | had tried everything else | had better
try this. Ii certainly could do me no hurt.
al accordingly went to our druggist, Mr..
A. l.. Lane, and purchased box of the
pills and commenced taking them according
to directions. BY the time the box was half
used up ! could see some improvement and
when had used the box there was a decided
improvement in my condition. My head,
back, and nerves were much better. | took
in all six boxes of the pills which made me
well man. In fact ! stopped taking them
because was gaining flesh so rapidly L was
burden TO carry il around.
al consider the DIR. Williams Pink Pills
my deliverer from n total disability worse
than death, and heartily recommend them TO
anyone similarly afflicted.
