sides AMI chest. Ills symptoms grew rap
idly more alarming, until at last he was as
helpless as a Child AMI could scarcely move
as he lay on his bed. AS tfr. Preslanor is
we'll known in the part of the town where ho

all they could to help him.

Mr.. PresIaner told reporter the story OF
his dreadful illness and. wonderful recovery.
The reporter met him as he was returning
from long walk an |, saying that he hal
h ard of his wonderful cure, asked him to
tell the story When Mr. Preslaner was com
forably seated in his pleasant parlor, he
told the following story, which, he said, he
hoped everyone who was suffering rs he had
suffered, would read. His words were as
follows: "To begin with, ! was taken sick
just year aud q month ago, having taken
severe coll which settl d on my kidneys. AT

Il called in doctor, who said I had loco
motor ataxia an lbegan treating me for that
disease. He did me no good and all sum

ness ut all. Then called another doctor and
took his medicine for several weeks. but eX-

No 257 East Broadway, who | at last callel

doctors, but along towards fall grew worse,
despite his treatment. think DR.. Nichols
is u good doctor ami understood my case,
but despite this fact his medicines did me no
lasting good.
'Early in November the little strength /
hal in my legs left me and I was unable to
stand. The pain in my back and sides be-
came almost unbearab.e and my limbs grew
cold. An e'ectric battery I bought failed to
help, and for weeks I felt myself gradually
growing weaker until all hope left me.
Sometime before this had read of won

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, but was

try them. AS my pains increased and death
seemed coming near, ] thought OF what
hal read and Of the symptoms Of the man
who had been cured. They were precisely
tho same as mine and at last, with my wife'a
earnest entreaty, / consented to try Pink Pills.
II am now convinced that these pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength be-
gan to return. the desire to live grew strong

bed. This was early in March. All pain
had left me, and that terrible dead feeling
in my legs had gone away. I was still very
weak, but before had taken the fourth box
was able to get down stairs for short walk
in the open air. Now feel rs If I had been
born again and am as happy as a child.
