The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-02-04

Do you see those two men walking up the
streetp One has vigorous, firm, elastic step,
his head we'll up, his eyes bright picture
Of a sound and perfect man. The other is
bent, his knees weak and unsteady, listless
air about his whole makeup. He has the
appearance of one who is broken in health and
who has to whip himself to every task. The
difference between these two men is a difference
Of nerve power. With nerve power comes en-
ergy, enterprise, force, vigor-all things which
make existence enjoyable without it the
muscles cannot act, the brain cannot think.
Bear in mind that life is nerve power, and if
you wish to keep II you must feed the nerves.
DO not simply stimulate them, but coax them
feed them. Give them the food which will
renew their life and make them sound and
healthy, that they may ward off disease.
Probably paralysis is the nearest disease to
nerve-death that we know, and we therefore
cite a case Of it below to show what certain
famous nerve-building preparation can do to
feed and absolutely restore almost hopelessly
wasted nerves.
There are but few in the Saginaw Valley
but who have known personally or made the
acquaintance indirectly of w. Ii. Dawson, 6lS
Union Avenue, Saginaw, Mich, West Side.
1t is here that the hand of sickness has fallen
heavily and caused man TO become widely
known and extremely pited.
II is the hand of fate that often nips in the
bud that which nature has started with the
greatest predictions for the future. Until
three years ago w. II. Dawson has known
but little of sickness and pain but the last
few years have brought with them untold suf.
fering. With many doctors taxing their
brains for something that might benefit, all
remedies known to the scientific medicine
man were applied and without avail. The pa
tient meanwhile faded and became worse but
still fingered to fulfill q wonderful mission
which will be the cause of less suffering among
his fellow creatures. 1t was that unseen hand
directing all things who permitted this one
man to live in misery so that the world might
become enlightened.
To hear the pitiful story of one who has
suffered who could not move a muscle for one
whole year and who is now convalescent
through the aid of wonderful medium might
lead one to believe that miracles are per-
formed in this day and age. They are, but
not as in times of old. This time it is through
the hand of man that life is restored
until the fall of 1872, " said Mr.. Dawson TO
reporter, " was as hearty and as full of life
and vigor as any young man could hope to be-
in fact sickness was then unknown to me.
Apout thls llIne L was taken SICK with In
grippe and after having two relapses my spine
became affected. This trouble grew worse
1pidly and in March of '93 | was completely
pralyzed from my waist down. Having taken
verything my doctors could prescribe without
ny effects, | decided to go to the Indiana
'ate lnstitut. at indianapolis hoping TO re-
ceive at least some benefit from their special
lists. / was there for a period of ten months
during which time ] was taken sick with
scarlet fever which left me in worse con.
dition than ever before.
