COMPLETELY PARALYZED.

PHYSICIANS ARE ASTOUNDED BY A PECULIAR CASE. A Young Man Stricken with Landry’* Paralysis and Yet Recovers. (From the Timet, Philadelphia, Pa.) ' with Landry’s Paralysis and yet ’ctrred. Th At means but little to the average layman, but it means a miracle to a physician. Such is the experience of O. E. Dallimore, now a resident of Madison, N. J., and a rare experience it is. “Yes, it is true that I had Landry's Paralysis,” said Mr. Dallimore to a reporter, “or else the most celebrated physicians of London were mistaken. “It was on the loth of March, this year,” he continued, “when 1 was in New York City, that I first felt the symje toms of my trouble. I experienced dilnculty in going up stairs, my legs failing to support me. I consulted a physician, who informed me that I had every symptom of Locomotor Ataxia, but as the case developed he pronounced it a case of Lan--1 dry’s Paralysis, and knowing the nature of the disease advised me to start for my home and friends. I gave up my work, and on April Ist started for London. Ont. A well-known physician was consulted, but I grew rapidly worse, and on Saturday, April 7th, several eminent physicians held a consultation on my case and informed me that I was at death’s door, having but three to six days to live, still I lingered on, by this time completely paralyzed, my hands and feet being dead, 1 could hardly whisper my wants and could only swallow liquids. Oh, the misery of those moments are beyond all description and death would really have been a welcome visitor. “Now comes the part that has astounded the physicians. Rev. Mr. Gondy, a clergyman who visited me in my last hours, as he supposed, told me of the marvelous cures of paralysis that had been performed by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I started to take the pills about April 28. and a week after that felt an improvement in my condition. There was a warm, tingling sensation in the limbs that had been entirely dead, and I soon began to move my feet and hands, the improvement continued until May 28, when I was taken out of bed for a drive and drove the horse myself. By the beginning of July 1 was able to walk upstairs alone and paid a visit to Niagara. “Slowly but surely I gained my old health and strength, leaving Ontario for New York on Oct. 11, and beginning my work again on Oct. 26, 1894; cured of Landry’s Paralysis in eight months." To confirm his story beyond all doubt, Mr. Dallimore made the following affidavit. Sworn and subscribed before me Dec. 3, 1894. AMOS C. RATHBUN, (Seal.) Notary Public. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.. for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50. Penny postage for London and its suburbs dates from the year 1681.

Propelled by Gas. The field of usefulness so long held by the horse Is narrowing daily. A tricycle propelled by a two horse power gas engine is the property of a California man, wire., having tested it oh the streets under varying conditions as to grade and roadway, has found it in every instance satisfactory, being easy to control as regards starting, regulating speed, turning, stopping, etc. The machine is calculated to carry three persons on the single broad seat, though operated by one, with surplus power sufficient to trail one or two buggies or a loaded wagon, according to the character of the road. It carries tweleve hours’ supply of gasoline, or two and one-half gallons, and can easily attain a speed of from ten to twelve miles per hour on favorable ground. Being geared in such a manner that the movement of a lever increases or decreases the speed enables the driver to climb grades of considerable pitch. It is claimed to be perfectly sefe and is simple in construction, the design of the inventor being to have as few pieces and parts as possible. The wheels and frame supporting the engine are strong and the entire machine is constructed in the most substantial manner, as if intended to withstand hard usage.
