ONE TERROR LESS
A Name to Make Men Shudder No
~longer-Locomotor Ataxia
Now in the List of
Durable Diseases.

Fresh proof is furnished daily that a
path to recovery has been opened before
the hitherto hopeless victims Of ooomyo-
tor ~ataxia, the pains Of which are proba-
bly, the most agonizing which the human
frame Is ever compelled TO endure.
MIR. Q. K. Janvrin, of Hampton Falls,
N. H., vas attacked about three years
ago by what he at 6rst thought was
rheumatism. He got temporary relief
from hniments, but the trouble always
returned with greater severity. After
he had endured it for moro than a year,
he began 10 consult physicians in great
anxiety.
He was startled by their verdict :
"They all said" states Mr.. Janvrin,
THAT l had locomotor ataxia; that my
spinal cord had degenerated. and that
no encouragement OF q cure could be
given. l am d young man yet and my
business requires me 10 travel daily, but
L was compelled TO remain homo months
at n stretch, and at times 1 could barely
shuttle my feet across the floor.
my Logs and feet seemed to be par
alyzed. If 1 made any attempt 10 lift
my feet / suffered the most e~xcruoiatinR
pains. l finally became convinced that
1 would be utterly incapacitated for
business, and l simply gave up TO de-
spondency.
"Ono day in January, 1908, 1 hap
pened TO rood in q pamphlet some re-
markable cures Of nervous diseases eff
fected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. Although a despairing
man I fortunately decided to give them
a trial. l used two boxes before l saw
any improvement. Then 1 began 10 have
hope that they might possibly save me.
my condition steadily improved and
before the tanth box was entirely gone l
was able 10 toxic up my work again. My
cure was complete in every respect, and
it has boon permanent, for 1 am now at
work every day. l was made a perfectly
well man in six months by using DR..
Williams Pink Pills. My confidence in
them is naturally great. 1 am never
without a box of them in my home, and
l can scarcely say TOO much in their IA
vor." They are sold by all druggists
throughout the world.
