A Milwaukee Railroad Man Knocked
Down While at a Telephone
During Stern.
Dreadful Nervous Disease The Result Victim Lost the
Use of His Limbs-His Marvellous Cure and
How 1t Came About.

Strange happenings are constantly
being recorded but. it is safe to say,
! few people can tell of a personal ex-
perience as wonderful as that which
fell to the lot of MI. D. C. Peak, of No.
! S14 Wells street, Milwaukee, Wis. His
! miraculous recovery from locomotor
ataxia is attracting widespread atten-
! ton throughout the country and has
excited much comment from the press
and among physicians.
Mr.. Peak is well known in railroad
circles throughout the entire State and
| held an important position with the
/ Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul r. r.
Co for number of years up to the
time he was taken with his terrible af-
Fiction. He is now well and expects
within short time to resume his po-
sition with the company. In view of
the Importance of Mr. Peaks case and
the talk his cure has caused, a report-
er was assigned to look up the matter
In answer to the newspaper mans
Inquiries Mr.. Peak said: ITO go back
to what l suppose was the first cause
OF my disease: One day in 1883 during

struck the wires and the shock knock
ed me down. How badly my system
was affected at that time I am unable t
to say, but for about year afterward
whenever it rained or the weather was
damp I would feel a prickly sensation
all over me, just as if l was taking an I
electric shock from a battery. But this |
finally stopped, and I thought no more
about it.
However, in 1896, when I was Al
years old, my fingers in both hands as
well as my limbs began to get numb
and there were severe pains in all my
joints. L went to the doctor and he
treated me for some time for rheuma-
tisn. But, in spite of the medicine he
gave me, my affliction grew worse
Ny limbs got so numb that L could
suck pins into them and scarcely notice
it. If 1 shut my eyes 1 would fall
down. Well, not getting much bene-
lit from the doctor, I went and consult
I'd a specialist on nervous diseases and
lie pronounced my case locomotor ajax {

Ease. but while under his care l con-
racted blood poisoning and was con- /

Then L was discouraged and thought i
here was no help for me. But my s
wife saw an advertisement in the h
Evening Wisconsin. In it was a state d
nent signed by Mr. Joel Shoemaker of a

| WHAT LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA Is.
Locomotor ataxia is a disease OF the
| spinal cord, characterized by peculiar
disturbances of gait and difficulty in
governing the motions of the legs.
One of the cOmmonest and early signs
is tired feeling, particularly noted in
the knees and ankles. This sensation
is provoked by slight exertion, and is
not remedied by rest. Often a numb
feeling is associated with it, and these
two symptoms are always present in
the early stages. Later developments
are the increase in duration and extent
of the numb feelings, covering at times
the foot alone, then extending up the
leg. AS the disease is of slow growth,
some cases covering a period Of ten
years. the increase and intensity OF the
symptoms is not noticed, but it's prog
ress is constant and gradually an
proaches a total lack of feeling in the
legs, causing a wobbling in the gait
and the entire inability to govern the
steps. As it grows the patient loses all
control over the bowels and water A
further symptom is the sensation of a

THE TREATMENT
Locomotor ataxia is stubborn in
yielding to treatment and was for many
years considered incurable. 1t has been
tulIy demonstrated, however, that this
disease can be cured by the use of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The length of treatment reuuires de-
Ponds upon the stage at which it is
commenced. 1t is dangerous to delay
taking the pills after the presence Of
the disease is recognized, although this
remedy has proved efficacious in many
cases of long standing

HOUSE FLY DOOMED.
Machine That Will Put 1t Out of
 Business,

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The doom of the common house fly was pronounced last night at the Sherman House by the arrival of 2. E. Drake and Harry T. Bangs, two Californians. who have come all the way from Mo- desto, Cal. to build a plant in Chicago for the manufacture of an automatic fly trap this is calculated to catch flies at the rate of a million minute
 With the mercury outside below the zero mark and not a fly within hundreds of miles Drake and Bangs completed ar engagements with Robert L. Henry, pro- prietor of the Chicago Cash Register Company, for the erection of a large fac tory on the grounds of the company at 1250 Seventy-fifth street. The fiy-trap company, which was incorporated in Cal ifornia, is to be in the nature of a trust.
 The trap. which was the center of an admiring crowd at the Sherman House last night, acts like a turnstile. By a simple mechanism a circular disk of tin is made to revolve. deceitful-looking cage rests on half the circumference of the disk. The flies congregate on the portion of the disk that Is exposed and baited with beer or sugarf The disk, which revolves very slowly, carries the victims to their prison, from which there is no chance of escape except into a large prison above.

anyway, and such as we then had are gone beyond recall But I can distinctly remember the Williams case. It created quite an uproar, although it occurred at a time when the city was fairly throb- bing with excitement. Old residents will tell you that for a few years after the war Chicago was the gayest town in the country and that the policemen earned their salaries But despite this the Wii- Hams Kidnapping was a sort of case eel ebre. My opinion is that it occurred when w. w. Kennedy was superintendent of police, but of this I am not positive. At any rate 1t was about that time. At first there was considerable of reward of fered, but everybody was making money then and the financial end didn't interest us much. What fixes it in my mind so strangely Is the fact that 1t was tn( first important kidnapping c91e -1nacaS
 ever had. Kidnapping was virtually nn- known at that time and few people would accept the theory that the Williams girl
 had been stolen. We were all strongly of
 the belief that the child had wandered down to the river or lake front and had
 fallen into the water and drowned. That
 was the only reasonable theory from what facts we could gather. No trace of the little one could be found, and gradu- ally the matter was forgotten by all but the family. They were very persistent, especially the old lady, but we could ac- complish nothing because there was ab- solutely no clew to work on. M IT
 Detectives Got No CIews.
 Mrs. Williams, as I recall it, was off, ten visitor at headquarters and was, positive her granddaughter had been stolen, but when asked for a motive was unable to give one. She knew nobody who would have any object in stealing the child and did not give us at any time the faintest sort of motive for its, dis appearance. Finally, as I have said, in the rush of what we considered more inn portant matters. the case was dropped. The Williams family continued their 'vis- its to headquarters. but was looked upon as bores, and at last they quit coming. and the matter was pigeon-holed. Occa- sionally some energetic officer, anxious to make name for himself as a detective. would discover a clew to the kidnaper. but all he ever got out of 1t was a. big laugh and an invitation to set up the drinks, so that after awhile the policemen were glad to leave the case alone. S. the girl has been found? We'll. it's wonderful bit of detective work all right Perhaps there's chance for Charley Ross yet. And mind you, I don't intend any sarcasm by this remark One case is no more difficult than the other up to the point of the childs recovery. In fact, there's much more of clew to work on in the Ross case than there was in the Williams, and, taking the results Into consideration, the latter, if anything, is the more remarkable of the two" aets
