Almost Under
Engines Wheels.
The NARROW ESCAPE OF YARD.
MASTER; J. 7. ELLIOT.
He Rolled Off the Track Just In
Time to Save Himself From
a Horrible Death.

Pittsburg. Pa, Oct. so, '02-Yarlmaster j.
L. Elliott had narrow escape from death
in the Pennsylvania railroad yards which
was attended by circumstances that were
peculiar in more ways than one.
He had just thrown a switch and was
crossing the track in front of an engine
when he was seen to stagger and then sud-
denly to collapse. He fell almost under the
pilot but fortunately rolled off the track to
one side. He was not injured
after that" said he to a reporter, :" l
made up my mind to quit work. The fall
which might have cost me my life was
caused by a nervous trouble and might
occur again at any time"
But you don't seem to have the trouble
now" remarked the newspaper man.
"No, am all right now. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People brought me
around again after the doctors had pro-
nounced me incurable. The trouble began
with severe pain in the legs and the ply
stefan at that time said it was muscular
rheumatism. He gave me medicine which
l took for some time without seeing any
improvement. The pain continued and
my strength kept ebbing away. l noticed
that l was not agile As | used to be and
Coulu lOU CdlCIl anu ClllllD d moving car DIS
readily as l once did. Then came my mar
row escape and gave up work.
" A different physician this time said
had locomotor ataXia, but l only grew
worse under his treatment l began to
have ATTACKS of vomiting, one of which
lasted for 10 days. l grew thin as skele-
ton and very weak. Finally had con-
sultation of three Pittsburg physicians and
they pronounced me incurable. The pain
in body and legs continued to increase and
became so severe that | had to take NOR
phine sometimes to get a little relief. l be-
came just about helpless with no control of
my legs.
"During the Christmas holidays in 1901
friend in Iowa City sent me a clipping
from newspaper telling of a remarkable
cure of locomotor ataXia in the case of d.
G. Peak of Milwaukee, Wis, by DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills for Pale People. So 1
began taking them. 1 followed directions
carefully and soon began to improve. 1t
was gradual but sure and now l am like
another man. l can go around and took
three weeks trip a little while ago with
out experiencing any bad results. l have
not had pain or vomiting spell since 1
began taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Mr.. Elliott was in the employ of the
Pennsylvania railroad for IA years as brake
man, then conductor and finally as yard
master. He lives at No. 5S15 Parker street,
ittsburg, Pa, and is ready to corroborate
the above statement. His cure from loco
motor ataxia is only one of many accom-
plished by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and furnishes additional proof
that this is not an ordinary medicine. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are wonderful 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 the reach of all That they cured
such severe nervous disorder as that of
Mr. Elliott proves the power of the remedy
in lesser troubles, such as sciatica, neural
gia, nervous headache, St. Vitus' dance
and nervous debility.
