MASTER 1T. ELLIOTT.

TO Save Himself From Horri-
rible Death.

PITTSBURG. Pa. oct. 29.-Yardmaster
J. r. Elliott had a narrow escape from
death I'm the Pennsylvania railroad yards
which was attended by circumstances
that We're peculiar in more ways than
one
He had Just thrown a switch and was
crossing the track in front OF an engine
when he was seen to stagger and then
suddenly 10 collapse. He fell almost
under the pilot but fortunately rolled
OF the track 10 one side. He was not
injured.
After that" said he TO reporter, Il
made up my mind to quit work. The
fall which might have cost me my life
was caused by a nervous trouble and
might occur again at any time"
But you don't seem TO have the trou-
bic now" remarked the newspaper man.
mo. I am all right now. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People brought me
around again after the doctors had pros
nounced me incurable. The trouble began
with a severe pain in the legs and the
physician at that time said was mus
cular rheumatism. He gave me medi-
cine which / took for some time without
seeing any improvement. The pain con-
tinued and my strength kept ebbing away.
/ noticed that i was not as agile as
used to be and could not catch and
climb a moving car as readily as / once
did. Then came my narrow escape and
I gave up work.
"a different physician this time said 1
had locomOtor ataxia, but i only grew
worse under his treatment. I began to
have attacks of vomiting, one OF which
lasted for sixteen DAYS / grew thin as
a skeleton and very weak Finally had
a consultation of three Pittsburg ply
sicians and they pronounced me incura-
BILE. The pain in my body and legs con-
tinued to increase and became so severe
that 1 had to take morphine sometimes
10 get a little relief. I became just about
helpless with no control Of my legs.
During the Christmas holidays in 1901
a friend in Iowa City sent me clipping
from a newspaper telling of a remarka-
BILE cure Of locomotor ataxia in the case
of d. c. Peak, of Milwaukee. Wis, by
Dr. williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
So began taking them. followed direc-
tions carefully and soon began to i'm
prove. It was gradual but sure and now
1 am like another man. can go around
and took a three weeks trip little while
ago without experiencing any bad re-
suits. I have not had a pain or a vomit-
ing spell since 1 began taking DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills"
Mr.. Elliott was in the employ of the
Pennsylvania railroad for fourteen years
as brakeman Nncn GOuQuGluI AlAoliiS
as yardmaster. He lives at No. 5Sl5
Parker street, Pittsburg, Pa, and is
ready TO corrobOrate the above state
ment His cure from lOcomotor ataxia
Is only one OF many accomplished by DR..
williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
furnishes additional proof that this is not
an ordinary medicine. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are wonderful in their potency
i'm nervous troubles, small or great, and
as they are on sale in every drug store
throughout the country, they are within
reach of all. That they cured such a
severe nervous disorder as that of Mr..
Elliott, proves the power of the remedy
in lesser troubles, such as sciatica, neu-
ralgia, nervous headache. st. Vitus' dance
and nervous debility.
