THE HUNTER MIRACLE.
Time Only Increases the Wonder Of
This Famous Cure.
NO TRACE OF DISEASE LEFT.
The Once Blind, SpeechIess, Helpless
Paralytic at Work Years After
Marvellous Recovery.

In the fall OF 1901 the San Francisco
Examiner Published an interview between
one of its representatives and John Hunter
OF Chico, California, a Civil war veteran,
whose reported recovery from paralysis
had created such a sensation as to lead that
paper to investigate the facts. The re-
marka bic story told by Mr.. Hunter, and
confirmed by Mayor Clark, Rev. w. G..
White, Cashier Carew and Postmaster
Wilson, all OF Chico, was subsequently
reprinted in practically every paper in the
United States in substance, as follows:-
about four years ago ] was suddenly
stricken with paralysis. lost all sense OF
feeling and all power of movement in nv
right side, from head to foot. / also partly
lost the power OF speech. / soon became
totally blind and was so perfectly helpless
that for three years l was confined to my
bed.
doctors diagnosed my case as loco
motor ataxia and my family physician
gave me every care and attention possible,
but all his prescriptions during two years
were powerless to alleviate my sufferings
or in any way afford the slightest relief.
"After being virtually given up as a
dead man by friends and physicians, and
resigning myself to my apparent fate,
determined TO try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. / mentioned ii to my
doctor aud he not only gave his consent
to my trying DIR. Williams Pink Pills but
strongly advised my doing so.
"From a blind, helpless paralytic, un-
able to move and so broken down and
hopeless that life was burden, 1 can now
walk do any odd jobs about the place, 20
down town, and-most wonderful of all
can see. And l owe it all to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
The facts in the case admitted of no
doubt and singular triumph was added
to the victories already won by DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills. They had cured a dis
ease which had never before yielded to
medical skill. Their use in nervous dis
orders was greatly increased in conse-
quence. Relief soon began to be expert
enced by scores of extreme sufferers, and
as the months went by new names Of
paralytics cured by this remedy, were
added to the list which began with the
name Of John Hunter.
The question that remained unsettled,
because only time could settle it, was
simply :-"Will these cures that are so
astonishing, prove to be permanent ?'
question possible has now gone by, and
every sufferer from partial paralysis or
lCcomotor ataxia will be overjoyed to learn
that Mr. Hunters cure lasts and that he
Is even more vigorous than when his re-
covery was first reported.
In February, 1904, more than three years
after he had regained his sight and the
use of his legs, and "could do any odd
Jobs about the place, John Hunter wrote
to the DR.. Williams Medicine Co. that be
not only retained the gain but that he had
made progress. ~ now feel well in every
way, be said II have built seven large
houses since last May and | consider your
pills the sole cause of my good health, for
had it not been for them / would not have
been on earth today"
In November, 1904, the same John
Hunter again ote:-"My general health
is very good at present, better even than
during the summer. / am able to work
now every day, thanks to your medicine.
To you | owe all my health"
In letter received from Mr.. Hunter on
the very day on which this goes to press
is the following statement OF his present
"Four and a half years have elapsed
since my health was restored by Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and there never has
been any sign of a return of the dread
disease from which | suffered. | am now
years old, and am able to do a
good days work at my carpenters trade |
without feeling much fatigue at night. /
can walk two miles with perfect ease, and |
can read the newspapers without glasses. |
MY confidence in the medicine that has |
done so much for me is unbounded.'
The claim OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills to |
be the greatest of all nerve remedies rests |
on facts such as the above. The test of /
time has proved the thoroughness of their |
work. Every victim of locomotor ataxia |
should begin the use of these pills at once |
in a spirit OF hopefulness. Sufferers from |
any form of nervous trouble, neuralgia, |
sciatica, prostration or partial paralysis,
will find DIR. Williams Pink Pills a won
derful remedy. They are sold by all drug |
gists.
