The Narrow Escape Of Yardmaster
]. T. Elliott.
He Rolled Of the Track Just in Time
to Save Himself From a Horrible
Death.

Pittsburg. Pa. oct. 31.-Yardmaster
j. 4. Elliott had a narrow escape from
death i'm the Pennsylvania railroad
yards which was attended by circum-
stances that were peculiar in more
! ways than one.
He had Just thrown switch and was
crossing the track in front of an engine
| when he WAS seen to stagger and then
| suddenly 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. y
| made up my mind to quit work. The
fall which might nave cost me my life
was caused by nervous trouble and
might occur again at any time"
But you don't seem tc have the
trouble now remarked the newspa per
man.
No. l am all right now. DR.. Will
liamS Pink Pills for Pale People
brought me around again after the doc
tors he'd pronounced me incurable
The trouble began with a severe pain
in the legs ana the physician at that
time said it was muscular rheumatism.
He gave me medicine which | took for
some time without seeing any improve
ment. The pain continued and my
strength kept ebbing away. l noticed
that | was not rs agile as / used to be
and could not catch and climb a NOV
ing car as readily rs | once did. Then
came my narrow escape and I gave up
WCrx.
A different physician this time said
! had locomOtOr ataXia, but ! only
grew worse under his treatment. / be-
gan to have attacks of vomiting, one Of
which lasted for sixteen days. l grew
thin as skeleton and very weak.
Finally | had Il consultation of three
Pittshurg physicians and they pro-
nounccd me inCurable. The pain in my
body ana legs continued to increase
and become SO severe that | had to
take morphine sometimes to get q little
relief. | became Just about helpless
with no control of my legs.
During the Christmas holidays in
1901 Il friend in Iowa City sent me a
clipping from 4 newspaper telling Of 4
remarkable cure of locomotcr ataXia in
the case of d. c. Peak. of Milwaukee,
Wis. by DR.. Williams Pink Pills fer
Pale People. So | beg&n taking them.
! followed directions carefully and soon
began to improve. 1t was gradual but
sure and now | am like another man.
| can go around and took q three
weeks trip little while ago without
experiencing any bad results. ! have
not had a pain or a vomiting spell since
| began taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills

Pennsylvania railroad for fourteen
years IS brakeman, then cor ductCr and

5S15 Parker street. Pittsburg, Pa. and
is ready to corrobOrate the above state
ment. His cure from locomojor ataXia
is only one Of many accomplished by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and furnishes additional proof that
this is not an ordinary medicine. Or.
Williams Fink Pills are wonderful in
their potency in nervous troubles. small
or great, and as they are on sale in
every drug store throughout the Coun-
try, they are within reach of all. That

order as that of Mr.. Elliott, proves the
power Of the remedy in lesser troubles.
