ALMOST A MIRACLE
THE WONDERFUL RECOVERY OF A
MINNESOTA MAN.
His Lower Limbs Had Become Useless and
He Dragged Himself Around Like
A snake.

A Snake.
While the story of the wonderful re-
covery of John Hunter in the little town
of Chico, Calf, from paralysis and loco
motor ataxia is still fresh in the mind of
everyone, an account of another equally
remarkable and somewhat similar case
comes from Minnesota.
Near Mortified, Mimi, lives p, A.
O'Brien, known to everybody round
about the town. In the fall of 1900 he
was obliged to give up work, because of
disease which one of the physicians
who attended him called locomotor
ataxia and another paralysis. He suf-
fered for more than three years and, for
part of the time, lay in harness by the
doctors direction. He grew worse and
the physicians pronounced him incurable.
But at last, like a miracle, came his
cure. Let him tell the story:
1t had been coming on slowly for
eight years." he says. ga cold numb
ness commenced in my feet and worked
upwards. 1t grew worse, and, in Nov
ember, 1900, had to quit work. The
disease bent me over, and, when / at
tempted to straighten up, it felt as if
someone was cutting me in the pit of the
stomach with Fnife. ! always felt
tired and could not rest at night, my feet
felt as if there were needles sticking in
them and my legs got so numb that could
stick pins in them and never feel it
They would shake so sometimes that l
could not hold them still with both
hands.
"Then I got so that 1 could not walk
and had to pull myself around like a
snake. When got excited my heart
would palpitate and I would choke up.
My kidneys also became affected and
caused me much pain"
Didn't the doctors help your" was
asked.
No. One of them had me on my
bed in a harness for several months. but
that did me no good. They tried various
things and, at last, said / could not be
cured
AZ began taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The first box
stopped my pain SO could sleep good.
1t was week before could move my
feet the least bit, but from that on
gained pretty fast. / will never stop
praising DIR. Williams Pink Pills, for
they have made n new man of me-

EVERY WOMAN

longs for beauty. II Nature has endowed
her with bonny pleasing face she is a
fortunate woman. But no matter how
well formed the features may be, unless
the skin is clear and the complexion good,
beauty loses its charm. The complexion
depends on the health, if the health is bad
the complexion suffers. No remedy has
been found to equal BEECHAM'S
PILLS for regulating the general
health. They purify the blood, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs, give
tone and vim to the nerves, and put the
whole body in thorough healthy condi-
ton. Every woman should keep box of
Beecham's Pills handy, and on the first
sign of any arrangement of the system,
dose should be taken and further trouble
and anxiety will be averted.
See the special Instructions contained
in the pamphlet wrapped round each box

For many years before her marriage
she was engaged in teaching, in which
work she was very successful. As
pastors wife she showed much tact and
wisdom, always speaking the right word
at the right time. outside of her church
work perhaps her greatest interest was
in the work of the w. e. r. u, of
which she had been a member for many
years. and during Mr. Meacham's pas
torates in Massachusetts she did a large
amount Of work along these lines.
Her funeral, which was at the church

the funeral. but the younger son. Fred
was here. He came on from New York
city four times to see her during her
illness. once bringing with him DIR. Lloyd

done to relieve her sufferings Her aged
sister. Mrs. Judith Bailey, was with her
