From the Ledger, Milan, Ohio.

"The sufferings arising from complete ner
vous prcstraion are probably known to but
few people in the sense that it is to me, anG
! I trust that l may never be required to &C
through il again." said Mr.. Hudson Sheldon
of Milan, Ohio, to reporter of this paper.
Six years ago this fall / was taken with
an attack of grip. This was followed the
/ sext season by another and more severe at
tack which left me with nervous prostration.
! 81 consulted q number of the most prom
inent physicians Of this section of the country
| and took treatment with each of them but
| they gave me only temporary relief They
! told ME ] was threatened with lOcOmotOr ataxia
and if did not get help soon there was nc
hope for me. Previous to the time of the at.
tack was an engineer and held good posi-.
tion, but as l continued to grow worse each
day l vas compelled to give it up and seek
lighter employment.
| "I secured position as janitor of the
| school house where my principal duty was
! to attend to 3 steam heating apparatus.
| s.fered the most severe pains in my head
| xnd back, the least noise would seem to drive
| me nearly crazy, my nerves were completely
| unstrung, my legs and arms were partially
paralyzed and at times would try to walk
| and my feet would not come up, had no
! control over them. l was able to walk but
with the greatest difficulty. At this time
| was compelled to hire a boy to assist me.
"Several times l have gone to the depot
for the purpose of taking the train TO Nor
walk, a station five miles distant, when that
fear brought on by my condition would take
eossession of me and / would not dare to
inter the car hut would return home.
THE feelings of man at sach time are
beyond description, as / stated before, ! had
tried all the doctors, l took patent medicine,
in fact everything that was brought TO my
notice without receiving any benefit. Now
comes the strange part of my story and to
me the only pleasant part One day when
walking along the street chanced to pick
up scrap of q newspaper. This scrap of
paper saved my life. 1t contained an article
bn DR.. Williams Pink Pills and l thought
as / had tried everything else had better
thy this. 1t certainly could do me TO hart.
81 accordingly went to cur druggist, Mr..
A. L. Lane, and purchased box of the
pills and commenced taking them according
to directions. By the time the box was half
used up l could see some improvement and
when had used the box there was a decided
improvement in my condition. My head
5ao x, a:li nerves we're Tnuch better. took
in all six boxes of the pills which made me
a well man. In fact l stopped taking mem
because was gaining flesh so rapidly it was
burden TO carry it around.
II consider the DR.. Williams Pink Pills
my deliverer from total disability worse
than death. and heartily recommend them to
anyone similarly afflicted.
