Carlos F. Shepard is a weH-known
grain dealer, of Indianapolis, Ind He
is man of position and a, force OF
character that wins admiration and
friends He is a member Of the Indian
apolis Board of Trade. When it was
recently announced 10 the Board that
he suffered a stroke of paralysis, il
seems to all his friends almost impos-
sible that this rugged old man, always
so handsomely hearty and cheerful, al
ways picture of health for his cheeks
were like the rose in the snow could
have been so suddenly laid low But
it was true and many weeks passed
before his well-known form and kind
ly face returned TO his former bust
ness haunts. His temperance was
made the occasion of a hearty welcome
and the story of his illness and re
cOvery is well worth the telling.
4 am 50 years old, and for forty
years up to the time of this attack,
L had not had a days sickness. The
once that it was something serious.
They at first said that it was lumbago,
then sciatic rheumatism. They finally
came 10 the conclusion they did not
know what was the matter with me
| experienced no pain, my head was
clear, my appetite good, but | lost the
use of myself from my hips down.
This was a hard stroke to an active
ing pair of legs. My brother-in-law
who is physician, came from neigh
boring city TO see me. He pronounced
my affection to be lOcomotor ataXia.
am of the opinion that he diagnosed
my case correctly, for l was absolutely
paralyzed from the hips down.
Before he came, however, day or
so before, | had begun taking DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. That
was on the goth day of last October.
Before l began takin them l could not
stir a peg, but had to be carried from
place to place. | had not gone far into
the first box when l felt that deliver
ance from my enforced inaction had
come. Before l finished the second box
| was able to walk alone with the aid
of a cane. About home l do not use
cane now, but when | come out on the
slippery pavements | feel that | need
a little support to make my footing
sure. The doctors said | could not walk
again but here l am, and | think the
credit must be given to the pills. 1t is
said the pills are stimulating, but |
cannot say that they give me any SEN
sationS that L ann aware of. They merely
cure and that is quite enough for me.
