MAN AND WOMAN FALL
ON LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE.
School Director Thomas H. Bell Nearly Perishes in Desperate
Effort to Rescue Woman from an Awful Perl-Ihe
Woman Dies and He Is Saved in a Remarkable Way.

three thousand pieces Of skin were used
to cover over the raw flesh. In speaking
of his restoration to health, Mr.. Bell
said to an interviewer:
"My recovery from the dreadful shock,
Of course, was slow. I suffered untold
tortures. My nervous system was q
complete wreck; I had spells of dizziness,
and, when I attempted to walk, q numb
ness came over my whole body. My
sleep was not at all restful or natural
and I always awoke tired out. My
appetite was poor and at times suffered
from violent nervous headaches. The
powerful electric shock had undermined
my whole system. In spite of the doc
tors care didn't seem to improve. I
had been idle whole year and grew
anxious to return to my work, but my
condition remained so bad that / was
very much discouraged and feared
would never regain my health.
l. 81 heard Of case similar to mine
which DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People had cured. Then ! determined
| to try this medicine. By the time had
taken half the second box could notice
| a marked improvement. The headaches
disappeared, my nerves became steadier
and I slept well. took the pills for Q
month and after I resumed my work ]
continued till was perfectly well.
| They certainly did wonders for me and
I take pleasure in recommending Them"
| The above is plain, straight orward
statement of facts. The horrible incl.
dent occurred on the evening of June II,
1895, and the story Of 1t was published
by the newspapers at the time. The
sequel, which is known to many and u
told in Mr.. Bells own words, cannot b
doubted. Hell well known in Cleveland,
not only through his prominence In
school matters, but as herO-the man
who risked his life in vain attempt 10
save a woman from q terrible death.
Mr.. Bells accident was not one Of the
sort which falls to the lot of many PEG.
Die but the results that followed were
the same, in kind, as the many nervous
troubles with which thousands Of persons
are afflicted. Only in his case they were
unusually severe. His nervous system
was wrecked-almost beyond repair
and no medicine did him any good until
he tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. They cured him. :.
These pills have become famous al
over the world for their wonderful EN-
cacy in cases of this kind. They have

Mr.. Bells and they cure lesser nervous
disorders without fail. Acting directly
on the nerves and blood. they are an I'M
