There is probably no one better known IN
Sedalia, especially among the members OF
the First Baptist Church, than Mrs. Mollle
E. Roe, the wife Of Mr.. Roe, the nursery
man, and nothing is better known among
the lady's acquaintance, than that for the
past four years she has been physical
wreck from locomotor ataxia, in its severest
form. That she has recently recovered her
health, strength and normal locomotlon has
been made apparent by her being seen ire
quently on the streets and in church, and
this fact induced a representative or the
Capital to call on Mrs. Roe to inquire into
the circumstances of her remarkable recov-
ery Mrs. Roe was seen at her house at the
corner of Ohio Avenue and Twenty-fourth
Street, and seemed only too glad to give the
following history Of her case for publlca-
ton:
"F'our years ago." she said, II was at
tackled with disease which the physicians
diagnosed as locomotor ataxia, and was
speedily reduced to mere wreck. had no
control of my muscles, and could not lift the
least thing. My flesh disappeared, until my
bones almost pierced my skin. The sense of
touch became so exquisitely sensitive, that
l believe could by walking over the soft
est carpet blindfolded. have counted every
seam, so it may be imagined how felt
when trying to move my uncontroiiaoie
limbs.
'The most eminent physicians were con-
suited, but they gave me no relief, and
was without hope, and would have prayed
| for death but for the thought of leaving my
| little children. All thought of recovery
| had gone, and it was only looked upon as a
question of time by my husband and my
| friends when my troubles would end in the
grave.
| Zone day while in this condition, I re-
| ceived a newspaper from some friends in
! Denver, with news item marked, and
while reading it my eyes fell upon an &C
count of a / tmarkable cure of locomotor
| ataxia, by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and the case as de-
| scribed was exactly similar to my own.
ut once made up my mind to try the remedy,
| and began according to directions to take
the pills. The first box had not gone when

| boxes in all, and after two years OF the
most bitter suffering was as well as ever
was. Not only my feelings but my appear
ance underwent a change. l gained flesh,
| and though now, fOrty-three years old,
| feel like young gil. You can say that
Mrs. Roe owes her recovery to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and that she knows there
is nothing in the world like them:
