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

While the story of the wonderful re-
covery of John Hunter in the little
town of Chico, CAL, from paralysis and
locomotor ataxia is still fresh in the
mind of everyone, an account of an
other equally remarkable and some-
what similar case comes from Minneso-
ia.
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 a harness by the
doctors direction. He grew worse and
the physicians pronounced him incura-
BILE But at last, like miracle, came his
cure. Let him tell the story:
ut had been coming on slowly for
eight years." he says. "a cold numb
ness commenced in my feet and worked
upwards. 1t grew worse, and in Mo-
vember, 1900, had to quit work. The
disease bent me over, and when. ] at
tempted to straighten up 1t felt as If
some one was cutting me in the pit OF
!
tired and could not rest at night, my
feet felt as If there were needles stick
ing in them and my legs got SO numb
that could stick pins in them and new
err feel It, They would shake so some
times that could not hold them still
with both hands.
Then got 80 that could not walk
and had to pull myself around like a
snake. When I got excited my heart
would palpitate and would choke up.
My kidneys also became affected and
caused me much PAIN
Didn't the doctors help you?" was
asked.
mo. 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, art last, said could not be
cured.
YES. I fooled them. My sister saw
in the paper how Mr.. Peak, of Milwau-
kee, Wis, had been cured of locomotor
ataxia, and upon her advice began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. The first box stopped my pain
so could sleep good It was a week
before could move my feet the least
bit but from that.on I gained pretty
fast. / will never stop praising DR..
Williams Pink Pills, for they have
made new man of me"
The cure OF Mr.. O'Brien Is only adj
ditional proof that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are not an ordinary medicine.
They are wonderful in their potency In
nervous troubles. small or great. and as
they are on sale in every drug store
turnout the country they are within
reach Of all. Because they cured such a
severe nervous disorder as that Of MI.
.O'Brien, proves the power Of the reme-
dy in lesser troubles, such as sciatica,
neuralgia, nervous headache, st. Vitus'
dance and nervous debility.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have q dou-
BILE action-on the blood and on. the
nerves. 1t is, not claimed that these pills
are cure ALL but the very nature of
the remedy makes 1t efficacious in q
wider range of diseases than any other.
1t is scientific preparation designed to
cure disease thru direct action on the
blood and nerves. Impoverished blood
and badly fed nerves are the cause OF
nearly every ailment that effects man
kind. If the blood is kept pure, rich and
red, and the nerves strong and active,
disease can not obtain a foothold.
