From the Capital, Sedalin, Mo.
There is probably no one better known In
Eedalia, especially among the members OF
,he First Baptist Church, than Mrs. Mollie
E Roe, the wife of MIR Roe, the nursery
man, and nothing is better known among
the lady's acquaintances, than that FOR the
past four years she has been q physical
wreck from locomotor atnxia, in Its severest
form That she hus recently recovered her
health, strength and normal locomotion has
been made apparent by her being seen ire
quently on the streets aud III church, and
this fact induced representative OF the
Capital to call on Mrs Roe to enquire into
the circumstances of her remarkable recov-
cry Mrs. Roe was seen at her house at the
corner OF Ohio Avenue and Fwenty-fourth
Street, and seemed only too glad to give the
following history OF her case lor publication:
-Four years ago." she said, II was ut

diagnosed Us 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

carpet blindfolded have counted every seam,
so it may be imagined how felt when try
ing to move my uncomfortable limbs.
The most eminent physicians were con-
suited, but they gave me no relief, and !

for death but for the thought of leaving my
little children. All thought of recovery

question of time by my husband and my
friends when my troubles would end in the
grave.

ceived u newspaper from some friends in
Denver, with Il news item marked and while
reading it my eyes fell upon an account OF
q remarkable cure of locomotor ataxia, by
Ia nj
People, and the case as described was exact
ly similar to my own. at once made up my
mind to try the remedy, and began accord

cured. l took about four boxes in all, and
after two years of the most bitter suffering
was as well us / ever was. Not only my
feelings but my appearance underwent
change. | gained flesh, and though now
forty-three years old, ! feel like young

recovery to Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and
that she knows that there is nothing in the
world like them.
