Paralysis, and Yet She Has Been
Cured The Residents of the
Mission District Look Upon
1t as IA 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 Rich
ard 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
Mr. Gaylord, who is by trade black
smith, applied himself diligently at his
occupation, until at length he had, by
reason of his hard work and frugality,
placed himself and family upon a fair
way to prosperity. He had begun to
look toward 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 in store for them. She had ar
rived at the age at which rest and con-
tentment count for SO much in
woman's life, when she was suddenly
stricken with nervous prostration.
Her condition became very serious, and
her physician 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 Fran
cisco, Mrs. Gaylord improved slightly
with the change of climate until July,
1893, when she was stricken bv par
alysis 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 husband for period of
two months. She was treated for some
time by physician, but he was able
only partly to relieve her. She was
able to drag herself about the house,
but there was no strength in either of
the affected limbs.
1t was while she was in this condi-
tion that she noticed in paper the ad-
vertisement 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
90 Oh frp,,, tho
she began taking the pills, and her
story is told in such plain, straight
forward manner that it is given in her
own words:
when / first began taking Will
liams' Pink Pills." said Mrs. Gaylord,
81 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 had
applied all his remedies was still in
a practically helpless condition. Before
had taken one full box of the pills
began to feel return of strength in
the limbs that had been so long useless.
Feeling reassured by the first effect OF
the pills upon me, purchased a Sec
ond box, and continued to take them
until 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-
lighted | was when felt that my old
time activity was returning. 1t re-
minded me of the days when l was 81
strong and healthy at my island home

could give as to the merits of Will
liam's Pink Pills than to say that they
have restored me to such degree o.
strength that | now do all my OWL
work without the least inconvenience
which is as much as ever did before
l was stricken with paralysis. Blu
that is not all. Ialmost forgot to sa.
how the pills have relieved me of
certain hesitancy in speech, which ha
troubled me for years. My tongue uset
to become thick, and | would lis
most dreadfully and could not help my

and finally | was entirely relieved O
the lisping that affected my speech.
