SOLSVILLE MIRACLE.

RESTORATION OF PHILANDER HYDE FROM PARALYSIS. Helplem and Bed-Rfdden-Hl* Recovery from ThH Pitiable Condltlon-A Remarkable Narrative. [From the Syracuse Standard.] During the past few months there have appeared in the columns of the Standard the particulars of a number of cures so remarkable as to justify the term miraculous. These eases were investigated and vouched for by tne Albany Journal, the Detroit News, Albany Fxpiess, and other papers whose reputation is a guarantee that the facts were as stated. Different schools of medicine and some of the brightest lights in the pro es don had treated these cases, unsuccess.ully; and. tueir recovery later on, therefore, and its means, have created a profound sensation throughout the country. The Standard has published the above accounts for what tooy were worth, and are happily able to supplement same to-day by an equally striking case near home. The case is over in Madison County, at Solsville, and the subject is Mr. Dinlander Hyde, who told the reporter the lollowing; “I will be 70 in September. I was born in Brook field. Madison County, where all my life was spent until recently, wuea, becoming helpless, I came to live with my daughter here. My life occupation has been that of a farmer. I was always well and rugged until two years ago last winter, when I had the grip. When it left me I had a sensation of numbness in my legs, which gradually grew to be stiff at tne joint and very painful I felt the stiffness in my feet first, and the pain and the stiffness extended to my knees and to my hip joints, and to the bowels and stomach, and prevented digestion. To move the bowels I was compelled to take great quantities of castor oil. “While I was in this condition, cold feelings would begin in my feet and streak up my legs to my back and would follow the whole length of my back bone. I could not sleep, I had no appetite, I became helpless. When in this condition I was treated by a number of prominent physicians. They did me no good. I toon became perfectly helpless and lost all power of tnotion even in my bed. ” “The physicians consulted pronounced father s case creeping paralysis,” said Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, “and when we brought him home he had to be carried all the way in a bed. The doctors said they could only relieve the pain, and for the purpose he took a pint of whisky a day for three months, and morpnine in great quantities. When he began taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People we stopped giving him morphine or any other medicine, and cut off all stimulants. In ten days after father began taking the pills, he could get out of bed and walk without assistance, and has continued to improve until now he walks about the house and the streets by the aid of a cane only.” “Yei,” said Mr. Hyde, “and the pain has gone out of my back and the numbness out of my legs. I have no more chills, my digestion is good, and I have an excellent appetite. ” And then, after a pause, “But, ah, me, 1 am an old man; I have seen my best days, and cannot hope to recover my old vigor as a younger man might, but I am so thankiul to have the use of my limbs and to be relieved of those dreadful pains. ’’ Others in Solsville are taking Pink Pills, notably the mother of Abel Curtis, who is using them with satisfactory effect for rheumatism, and Mrs. Lippitt, wife of ex-Senator Lippitt, is using them with much benefit for nervous debility. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St Vitus’ dance, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, and that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in tne blood, such as scrofula, chronio erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schnectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk or by the dozen or hundred.
