A MIRACLE IN TEXAS.

Investigated by the Texas Christian Advocate and Vouched for by Dr. O. EL Stansbury. (From the Texas Christian Advocate.) Our representative has made a careful investigation of the H. E. Spaulding case at Longview, which is here published for the first time, and which will be read with great interest by medical men everywhere. In reply to the Christian Advocate’s questions Mr. Spaulding said: About eight years ago while running a locomotive I contracted sciatic rheumatism in my left side from my hip down. It came on slow but sure and in a few months I lost control entirely of that member, it was just tho same as if it was paralyzed, I was totally unable to move out of my room for a year and a half, six months of which time I was bedridden. I tried every remedy suggested, and had regular physicians in oonstont attendance on me. I was bundled up and sent to Hot Springs whore I spent three months under the treatment of the most eminent specialists, all of which did me no good, and 1 came back from the springs in a worse condition than when I went. I came home and laid fiat on my back and suffered the most excruciating agonies, screaming in pain every time anybody walked across the room, the only ease I obtained being from the constant use of opiates. After three months of this kind of agony, during which time my entire left leg perished away to the very bone, my attention was called to a new remedy called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, by Mr. Allison who is now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and who was relieved of locomotor ataxia of twenty years duration. At his urgent and repeated solicitation I consented to give them a trial, after taking a few doses I began to improve. I continued taking the pills and kept right on improving until I was finally cured. My leg is just the same size now as the other one, and I am sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved life. The reporter next visited Dr. C. H. Stansbury, a graduate of one of the medical schools of Kentucky, and a man who enjoys the confidence of everybody in Longview. He said: “I know that Mr. Spaulding had a terribly severe attack of sciatic rheumatism of which I tried to cure him; used everything known to my profession in vain and finally recommended him to go to Hot Springs. He came back from the springs worse than when he went and I thought It was only a matter of time until his heart would be affected and he would die. I also know that his cure is the direct result of the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” “That Is rather an unusual statement for a regular physician to make, doctor.” “I know it is, but a fact Is a fact, and there are hundreds of people right here in Longview who know wliat I say is the truth. I also know Mr. Allison and know that he was relieved of a genuine and severe case of locomotor ataxia of twenty years standing.”
