While the story Of the wonderful recov-
cry Of John Hunter in the little town OF
Chico, Cal, from paralysis and
ataxia is still fresh in the mind OF everyone
an account OF another equally remarkable
and somewhat similar case comes from
Minnesota. |-..
Near Northheld. 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 a dis
ease which one of the physicians who at
tended him called locomotor ataxia and an
other paralysis. He suffered for more than
three years and, for part OF the time, lay
In n harness by the Doctors direction. He
grew worse and the physicians pronounced
him incurable. But at last, like q miracle,
came his cure. Let him tell the story:
1T had been coming on slowly for eight
years." he says. "A cold numbness COM
menced in my feet and worked upwards.
1t grew worse, and in November. 1900, I
had to quit work. The disease bent me
over, and, when I attempted to strsighten
up, II felt as 70 some one was cutting me
In the pit Of the stomach with a knife. I
always felt tired aud could not rest at
night. my feet felt as IL 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 l could not hold them still with both
hands.
Then l got so that l could not walk and
/ had to pull myself around like a snake.
When I got excited my heart would palpi-
tate and l 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, at last. said l could not be cured.
Yes. l fooled them My sister saw in
the paper how Mr.. Peak OF Milwaukee, wis.
had been cured Of locomotor ataxia, and
upon her advice ] began taking DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The first
box stopped my pain so | could sleep good.
1t was a week before l could move my feet
the least bit, but from that on I gained
pretty fast. | will never stop ~praislng DR..
Williams Pink Pills, for they have made a
new man OF me-"
The cure Of Mr.. O'Brien is only additional
proof that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not
an ordinary medicine. They are wonder
full in their potency in nervous 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 a severe nervous disorder as
that Of Mr.. O'Brien. proves the power OF
the remedy in lesser troubles, such as
s~ciatics. neuralgia. nervous headache. St.
Vitus' dance and nervous debility.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have a double
action-on the blood and on the nerves. /.
Is not claimed that these pills are a cure
all. but the very nature OF the remedy makes
it efncacious in a wider range Of diseases
than any other. 1t is a scientific prepara-
ton designed to cure disease through a
direct action on the blood and nerves. I'M
poverished blood and badly fed nerves are
the cause of nearly every ailment that az
fects mankind. II the blood, Is kept pure,
rich and red. and the nerves strong and
active, disease cannot obtain a ,foothold.
