There is probably no one better known In
seaalia, especially among the members Of
the First Baptist Church, than Mrs. Mollis
E. Roe, the wife OF Mr.. Roe, the nursery
man, and nothing is better known among
the lady's acQuaintances, than that for the
| past four years she has been a physical
wreck from locomotor ~ata1ia, In its severest
form. That she has recently recovered her
health, strength and norma locomotion has
been made apparent by her being seen fro
quently on the streets and In church, and
this fact induced a representative OF the
Capital to call on Mrs. Roe to enquire into
tho cireumstaneeSras her remarkable recov-
cry. Mrs. Ro; as seen at her house at thu
corner Of Ohio avenue and Twonty-fourth
street. and seemed only too glad to give the
following history Of her case for publioation:
"Four years ago." she said, II was at
tackled with a disease which the physicians
diagnosed as locomotor ataxia, and I was
speedily reduced TO q mere wreck. I had no
control Of my muscles, aud could not LIT the
least thing. My flesh disappeared, until my
bones almost pierced my skin. The sense
of touch became SO exquisitely sensitive
that I believe I could by walking over the
eoftest carpet bl;ndfolded, have counted
every scam, SO it may be imagined how I
felt when trying to move my uncontrollable
limbs.

suited, but they gave mo no relief, and I
was without hope, and -'ould have prayed
for death but for the tn, light Of leaving my
little children. All thoul ut Of recovery had
gone. and 1t WAS only f'ohed upon as q
question of time by my husband and my
frinr1u rhan Tn W from h1aQ uOnll aN6 In thH

Ono day while in this condition, I re-
ceived a newspaper from soma friends IN
Denver, with q news item marked, and
while reading it my eyes fell upon an ac-
count Of a remarkable cure Of looomotor
ataxia, by the use OF DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, AMI the case as de-
scribed was exactly simlny to my own. ]
