PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic IS fate to which he seemed a
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
and some important details secured in q
personal interview with the recent suf.
ferer.
"The DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney, "told
me that if wanted to live any length
Of time would have to give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how We're you afflicted at this
time:" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clanlmy feelings and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but.a numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain III the spine.
Night after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect of the opiates was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS look back OH the
terrible suffering l endured during thi.
period often wonder how retained my
reason through it all.
'' But relief came quickly when l
was induced to try Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, aud seven boxes made
me entirely well. There can be 10 doubt
about the thoroughness of my cure, for
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly four years"
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the Merrimac Hat Company and resides
at l0l Aubin street. Amesbury, Mass.

satisfactory results, is sold by all drug

LAW URGED By sELF,seekERs.
Real Aninus Of Movement Against
Rene lies Deservediy Popular.


An adroit but plausible scheme by
which it is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale of any rem
'edy which contains poison unless
each package or bottle is expressly Ia
beled Poison" Such bills are also
vel! designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense Of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear a
demand for a law of this kind 1t
originates with those who have
direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale of proprietary rem
edies.
Some OF the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which. il taken
I'm sufficient quantities. might be pol
sonous, and yet the preparation as
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium.
flor instance, Is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea, etc. in tooth
ache drops and in almost all linlments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would he merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
OF the sale Of those remedies. and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
eYnensiva method of consulting a nhy-
sician and getting his prescription. In
other words, T. is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheaply the rene
dies which they and their fathers be-
fore them have used for many years.
