PARTIAL PARALYSIS
Still Another Case Cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills.

The story of the cure of Henry J.
Hubbard, of Wittens, Ohio, from paraly-
sis, will bring hope to others afflicted as
he was. He was helpless and utterly
discouraged. He had been getting
worse and worse, month by month.
First it made him unable to work, then
he could not walk, then he could not
even raise a hand to feed himself; he
could not move any part of his body ex-
Dept his head.
II heard of Mr.. Lee F. CIPHER, of Sis
tersville, a neighboring town in West
Virginia, who had been cured of par
alysis by DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People," says Mr.. Hubbard
in telling the story of his cure, land
my son took me over to see him. It
gave me new courage to hear him
tell how easily he found relief, for I
had given up hope Of ever being able to
move again. was perfectly helpless.
When was first taken was treated by
three physicians, one Of them specialist,
but got worse instead Of better.
could both walk and feed myself when I

I could move nothing except my head.
The doctors medicine caused my stom-
ach to pain me great deal; it didn't
help me bit, and, as l said, got dis
couraged.
"Then, after saw Mr.. CIPHER, and
he told me that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People had accomplished such
a wonderful cure in his case, decided
to take this remedy myself. In about
three weeks after beginning with the
pills | noticed a change for the better.
Now l can walk and get around all
right"
The first symptoms of partial paralysis
are: trembling of the bands; sudden loss
of power in arms or legs, frequently af-
fecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering partial or entire inability to use the
fingers; distortion of the features, some-
times an uncomfortable quivering of the
chin severe palms, difficulty in speech.
Paralysis may be caused by exposure,
emotional influence, venereal excuses
and by other diseases. The approach Of
the disease is generally gradual. Free
quently the first warning is vague feel
ing of headache, vertigo and muscular
weakness. The best method of treat
ment is to restore the nutrition and vi
tality of the nerves by using DR.. vii.
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

what LIES voyage has in store for YOU
In the swinging basket keep both feet
And lots OF pennies you're sure to meet.

Apples invite to try bobbing ere boasting.

Melted lead through key you may pour
If you can jump over three cups in row
Quite soon you'll be wed, we trow.
The wedding ring in glass will be hung
To tell when the bell for you shall he rung.
To witches feast you are invited;
With the Bellamy quadrille you'll be delighted.
The above invitation aroused our
