Cure of Unusual interested
Reporter Investigates.

From the Lake Region, Eustis, Fla.
For some time past the Lake Region has
been receiving reports from CmatiIla, Fla,
of an almost miraculous cure that had been
effected III the case of Fannie Adams, 4
daughter OF 4. j. Adams, of that place, and
last Saturday a representative of this paper
made a trip to Cmatilla for the purpose of
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a short distance from the
village, where it was found that the people
were cognizant of the cure which had been
effected, and were rejoicing with the family
in their new found happiness. The father,
A. j.. Adams, is a hard-working honest
farmer from east Tennessee, and the family
came to Florida four years ago in the hope
that a change of climate would be of benefit
to their afflicted child. Much of their earn
ings have gone for doctors bills, whose
services proved unavailing. The representa-
tive was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom
he gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis,
which affected the entire left side. This
stroke of paralysis was followed by convul-
sions, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or a night that she did
not have spaSms of the most distressing
nature; Not a single CONFUSION, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not 60 into her kitchen to super.
intend her household work. All the fingers
of the right hand of the little girl are en-
larged and misshapen, caused by her bit
ing them during the fearful suffering. The
case hafiied the skill of the best physicians,
and they Wprp frank IN saw that tbny aOul1
not determine the cause, or prescribe a
remedy to aid the afflicted child.
But what a change nov in that household;
for little Fannie has recently been released
from her SIX years or agony, which brings the
light of happiness to the faces of the parents.
In January. this year. Mrs. Adams, who
had purchased some of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People for her fourteen year
old daughter, determined'to try their effect
upon little Fannie. After three or four
doses, she noted an Improvement and she
then told the father what she had done.
He at once went to the village and bought
another box, and up to this time six boxes
have been used. The first pills, Mrs.
Adams states, were given in January, the
latter part, and certainly not earlier than
the fifteenth or twentieth, and the child had
her last CONFUSION on February Sd, nearly
three months ago. Her general condition
has improved in every way, and it was not
d month aIIer tne IrSL Pills were taken
when she began to walk without assistance.
The pills were bought at the drug store
or DIR. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer
to the question, did he, to his personal
knowledge, know that the remedy had bene-
fitted Fannie Adams, as was stated by her
parents, the doctor said that he was a regu-
lar practicing physician, and as such was

cine, but still he was ready to do Justice to
all men. and he did know that DR.. VIII.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People had bene.
fitted Fannie Adams. and also volunteered
the information that he knew of other chill
dren in the village who had been benefited
by their use.
