From the Huntingdon (Que) News.
Mr. Donald McNaughton, of Heming
ford, Que, is not only known TO all the
residents of that town, but has also
a reputation throughout the country Is
an expert marksman, having on one Oc-
casion been a member of the Canadian
rifle team at Bisley, England. Mr..
McNaughton is a member of the 9th
Hussars, and takes part in all the lead
ing shooting matches in Canada, hav-
ing this year stood third in the grand
aggregate at the Quebec provincial
matches. Mr.. McNaughton has passed
through a very trying experience, the
particulars of which he recently :e-
lated to a correspondent of the Hun
tingdon News. He said: About the
end of December, 1898, l awoke one
night having completely lost the power
of speech, with a ringing sensation in
my head and feeling of extreme cold
in every part of my body except in the
immediate vicinity of my head. A ply
stefan was at once called in, but despite
all he could do the power of speech
did not return for two days, and my
body remained partially paralyzed. In
this condition l continued under the
doctors care until about the last week
in March, 1894, sometimes having two
doctors in attendance. During that
time my appetite was very capr1clous,
sometimes very good and at others
lothing the very sight of food. What
food l took did not digest, causing me
my right side the blood in my body
all appeared to circulate in my left side,
causing great pain in my lungs, and
when lying on my left side l appeared
to have no blood in circulation on that
side. My body was at times without
sensation and I have actually burned
my hands on a red hot stove without
feeling any sensation of pain. AS
was not getting better under the treat
ment | was undergoing I got low spir-
tied and respondent and saw nothing
before but a miserable life and perhaps
early death. About the last week in
March, 1894, my brother brought me
a box of Pink Pills, given him by Mr..
McPhee, Postmaster, and urged me to
give them a trial. I began taking them,
carefully following the directions, and
before | had finished the box l felt they
were helping me. L continued taking
the pills, and continued to gain in
health and strength, my weight in
creasing some 10 pounds. Complete
vigor and sensation returned to my
body, my stomach ceased to trouble
me, and 1 felt better than at any pre-
vious period in my life. [ have not
had the slightest recurrence of my
trouble, and [ feel that [ owe my pres
ent health and strength to DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and with feelings of
gratitude recommend them as medi
cine worthy of all confidence.
This great remedy enriches and puri
fies the blood, strengthens the nerves,
and in this way goes to the root of
disease, driving it from the system,
and curing when other remedies fail.
