while coming home from church, was
stricken with paralysis of the right leg.

rious that all objects appeared double
and my sight to certain extent WAS
useless.
II had two physicians attending me-
and also two noted occulists, one from
Troy and the other from Albany, though
they could nut help me, but of course
their services cost n great deal OF money
and as was not earning anything this
alone was great source Of worriment
and discomfort to me, for things looked
blue.
ut was then that I took notice of an
advertisements of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and read of person
similarly afflicted as myself, who had
been cured in the summer of 1894.
II at once procured a supply of the
pills and began taking them. I used at
least four box es before / noticed any
change, but then I began to improve, my
vision became normal, my limbs recov-
cred their usefulness, and I was once
more restored to mani hood.
