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

While the story OF the wonderful re-
covery of John Hunter 10 the little town
Of Chico. Calf, from paralysis and loco
moter 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 1890 he
was obliged TO give up work. because Of
a 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 incur
able. 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. a cold numb
ness commenced in my feet and worked
upwards. 1t grew worse, and, in No
vember, 1900, 1 had to quit work. The
disease bent me over, and, when I at
tempted 10 straighten up, it felt as if
someone was cutting me in the pit Of
the stomach with a knife. I 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
l could stick pins in them and never feel
it. They would shake so sometimes that
1 could not hold them still with both
hands
Then I got so that I could not walk
and I had to pull myself around like
snake. When 1 got excited my heart
would palpitate and I WOULD choke up.
Ny 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 harness for several months, but
that did me no good. They tried various
things and. at last, said 1 could not be
cured.
Yes. I fooled them. Ny sister saw in
the paper how Mr.. Peak, of Milwaukee,
Wis. had been cured of locomotor ataxia
and upon her advice 1 began taking DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The first box stopped my pain so keould
sleep good It was a week before l
could move my feet the least bit. but
from that on I gained pretty fast. 1 VIII
never stop praising Or. Williams Pink
Pills. for they have made new man
OF me-
The cure of Mr.. O'Brien is only ad-
ditional proof that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are not an ordinary medicine. They
are wonderful IN their potency in ner-
vous troubles, small or great, and as
they are on sale in every drug store
throughout the country. they are within
reach of all. Because they cured such
severe nervous disorder as that of Mr..
O'Brien proves the power of the remedy
in lesser troubles. such as sciatica, neu-
ralgia. nervous headache, St Nitus
dance and nervous debility.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have dou-
BILE action-on the blood and on the
nerves. 1t is not claimed that these
pills are a cure-all. but the very nature
of the remedy makes it eficacious in
wider range of diseases than any other.
It is a scientific preparation designed to
cure disease through a direct action on
the blood and nerves. Impoverished
blood and badly fed nerves are the cause
of nearly every ailment that affects
mankind If the blood is kept pure, rich
and red. and the nerves strong and ac-
tive, disease cannot obtain footholG-
