Many of our readers may remember ar
item IN this paper a year ago last fall which
stated that Mr.. William Simpson, a well-to
do farmer, living near Rugby. Ind, had
been stricken with paralysis OF the lower
Ambs, and his recovery was doubtful.
The case which was an unusually severe
and complicated one has at last been entirely
cured, to the utmost surprise and JOY OF Mr..
Simpson and his family.

reporter the particulars regarding his case,

success IN a case very similar to mine where
all other remedies had failed. The case in
question was that OF l.. Phillips, of Peters
vile.

box OF these pills a decided change was
noticed. and when | had taken two more
boxes we discovered that | was actually get

a relief and feeling of g!adness tins was to
me, after being confined to my bed for
nearly two months. Well. kept on tax
ing the pills according to directions. until |
had consumed nine boxes OF them, which
completely cured me-.
I am sound and well to-day. with not a
sign OF the returning affection and can
