A Total Disability Claim of $1,650 Paid to a Man Who Was Afterward Cured.
The Monitor, a newspaper published at Meaford, Ont., Canada, first discovered this case two years ago, and published it at length, which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to be a miracle. The facts were so remarkable that many people doubted the truth of them. They said: “It is too remarkable; it cannot possibly be true; the paper is mistaken, and the man, although he may think himself cured, will soon relapse Into his former condition,” etc., etc. The accuracy of its report called in question, the Monitor determined to find out definitely whether the facts were as stated and whether the man would really stay cured. They accordingly kept a close watch on the case for two years after the first article appeared, and have just now
published another article about it, in which the original reports are completely verified, the cure is permanent, and they publish a facsimile of the check given by the Canadian Mutual Life Association for $1,050.00. amount of total disability claim paid by them to Mr. Fetch. The first account stated that the patient (see address below) had been a paralytic for five years, that there was such a total lack of feeling in his limbs and body, that, a pin run full length could not be felt; that he could not walk or help himself, at all; for two years he was not dressed; furthermore, that he was bloated, was for that reason almost unrecognizable, and could not get his clothes on. The paralysis was so complete as to affect the face and prevented him from opening hfc month sufficiently wide to take solid
food. The doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. For three years he lingered in this condition. Then by some friends he was advised to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. He took them and there was a slight change. The first thing noted was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed there was some life left in his helpless body. Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed by prickling sensations, until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, and the helplessness gave way to returning strength, the ability to walk returned, and he was restored to his oldtime health.
The above is the substance of the first article published by the Monitor. Now follow some clippings, taken from the same paper, two years afterward, and there is not the slightest shadow of a doubt, in view of this testimony, that- Mr. Fetch's cure is permanent, llere follows the account: On being again questioned, Mr. Fetch said: “You see those hands —the skin is npw natural and elastic. Once they were hard and without sensation. You could pierce them with a pin and I would not feel it, and what is true of my hands is true of the rest of my body. Perhaps you have observed that I have now even ceased to use a cane, and can get about my business perfectly well. You may say there is absolutely no doubt ns to my cure being permanent. Indeed I am
in even betteT health than when I gave you the first interview.” “Do you still attribute your cure to the use of Dr. Williams’ Fink Pills?” asked the Monitor. “Unquestionably I do,” was the reply. "Doctors had failed, as had also the numerous remedies recommended by my friends. Nothing I took had the slightest effect upon me until I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. To this wonderful medicine I owe my release from the living death. I have since recommended these pills to many of my friends, and the verdict is always in their favor. I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them.” Such is the history of one of the mept remarkable cases of modern times. Can
any one say, in the face of such testimony, that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of any suffering man, woman or child? Is not the ease in truth a miracle of modem medicine? To make the evidence complete X7e publish above a facsimile cut of the check received by Mr. Fetch from the Canadian Mutual Life Association, being the amount due him for total disability. It is unnecessary to add .that this life insurance association did not pay this large amount of money to Mr. Fetch, except after the most careful examination of his condition by their medical experts. They must ha v e regarded him as forever incurable. Mr. Petch’s address is as follows: Reuben Fetch, Griersville, Ont., Canada.
