There is probably no man better known
in Madison County than Mir. Alonzo Faulk-
ner of North BrookGeld, N. y, on account
of the prominence and wealth Of his family
and his own success as q hop grower. MIR.
Faulkner is well OH the road to old age,
having passed the allotted three score and
ten, three years ago. About the time he
celebrated his seYentieth birthday he was
taken very i'll with rheumatism in severe
form, an9nia and erysipelas and it was gen
orally supposed from his advanced age that
this combination of diseases would be fatal.
For nearly year he was confined to his house,
and his friends never expected to see him able
to leave it again, but to the surprise of his
many acquaintances Mr. Faulkner again made
his appearance, in good health and able to walk
about in a way that he had not done for
years. His great age and enormous size
made this recovery so remarkable that MIR.
Faulkner was interviewed on the subject Of
his cure by one of our representatives
He was found at home by the reporter,
and came out under the veranda, in very
good style for q man of three hundred
pounds avoirdupois, whose height is only
process began, Mr.. Faulkner seemed not
only willing but DESTROYS that everything
connected with his illness and recovery
should be made known and published.
81 am now seventy-three years old /" he
said, "and for the past ten years have never
had what might be called good health, but
I was never confined to the house for more
than a day or two, until three years ago,
when | was taken down with inhammatory
rheumatism, imperfect circulation of the
blood, and more or less congestion of the
brain. My joints were swollen and painful,
and indeed my whole body seemed a. ected,
for I could not walk, and had to be SISTED
from my bed to chair and from the chair
to the bed, and this was the extent of my
exercise for nearly one year. TO make
things worse, | had a severe attack of cry
sipelas, attended by delirium, total loss of
appetite, sleeplessness and fearful headache,
and | was about as i'll as | could be. 1t was
while in this condition that heard through
the newspapers of the potency in all dis.
eases of the blood of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and lost no time in giving them a trial.
"The first effects of the treatment were.
that my liver and kidneys, which were
badly affected, began to recover their nor.
NAL condition, the erysipelas abated, and
much of the pain in my back and side dis
appeared. / continued to take Pink Pills
faithfully observing the directions, and
gradually the pains became less frequent in
my limbs, the circulation improved all that
distressing pressure of the brain went, and
could move about little without the agony
that had attended any attempt at loeomo.

better than l had been in many years be.

Pills, however, but continued to take them
at intervals, and do so still at the first symp-
