A MODERN MIRACLE.
CASE OF LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA CURED
NEAR CHICAGO.

Unable to walk--vision Restored
and the Use OF Limbs Regained
"A sworn Statement.


A recent cure that seems almost a
miracle was that of Samuel Curnock,
of So Twenty-second avenue. Melrose
Park, Ill. The story is best told in
his own words. He says:
early in 1898 l began to expe-
rience a WORKOUT feeling and noticed
that became tired after very slight
exertion. 1 continued at my work in
the machine shop until July 2, 1898,
when suffered from fall. and after
that time grew rapidly worse. A ply
stefan was called and pronounced my
trouble locomotor ataxia. He treated
me for four months and there was no
improvement in my condition. l was
tald that my case was incurable. and
that l would continue to grow worse
until death relieved me. was not
confined to my bed. although I spent
much of my time lying down, and
was entirely unable to work. l could
hardly stand; it seemed as if my legs
would give out from under me, and
my movements were like those of a
drunken man. A cold numbness came
in my right side, and l lost the
strength of my right arm. Then my
eyes began to blur SO that could see
nothing distinctly, and in a short
time l became totally blind in my
right eye.
Last December l began taking DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and within a month I was so mucf
improved that l determined to persis
in the treatment. At the end of the
second month was able to return t
my work and have not lost day OF
account of illness since that time
Since l began taking the pills hav,
gained 30 pounds in weight, can wall
