A HELPLESS FARMEE.

William Stimpson Stricken with Paralysis of Bia Lower Limbs—Caused by Overwork. From the Hew Era, Greenehurg, Ind. Many of our readers may remember an item in this paper a year ago last fall which stated that Mr. William Stimpson, a well-to-do farmer, living near Rugby, Ind., had been stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs, and his recovery was doubtful. The case, which was an unusually severe and complicated one, has at last been entirely cured, to the utmost surprise and joy of Mr. Stimpson and hw family. Mr. Stimpson was pleased to relate to a reporter the particulars regarding his case, and his subsequent recovery. “A year ago last fall,” began Mr. Stimpson, “I did a large amount of work. My hired help left me in the middle of corn cutting and I finished the fall work myself, doing an unusually large amount of work. I put up several hundred shocks of fodder, and also husked all my corn. To accomplish this I bad to work early andjßte, "About the first of December, as I was getting, my fall-work about done, I suffered. a stroke of paralysis, which the physician said was brought on by excessive labor. My left limb was entirely helpless and my right limb was fast becoming so. My physician became uneasy, and after attending upon me for a week or so he brought me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, saying that he believed they would do me more good than anything which he knew of, as he had used them with great success in a case very similar to mine where all other remedies had failed. The case in question was that of L. Phillips, of Petersville. “About the time I began taking the second box of these pills a decided change was noticed, and when I had taken two more boxes we discovered that I was actually getting well. You can probably imagine what a relief and feeling of gladness this was to me, after being confined to my bed for nearly two months. Well, I kept on taking the pills according to directions, until I had consumed nine boxes of them, which completely cured me. “I am sound and well to-day, with not a sign of the returning affliction and can affirm that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People did me a wonderful good and probably saved me from the grave.” To allay all doubt as to the truth of his statement, Mr. Stimpson made out the following sworn affidavit: Rugby, Ind., Feb. 2,1897. “This is to certify that I do hereby swear that the foregoing statement is absolutely true. “WILLIAM STIMPSON.” County of Bartholomew, State of Indiana, ss. Sworn to and subscribed before me, a Justice of the Peace, in and for said county in said State. ABNER NORMAN., The New Era was also informed that Mrs. Charles Williams, of the same neighborhood, had been cured of rheumatism, and Henry Johnson, of Hartsville, who was troubled with neuralgia, was also cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It seems that this remedy is in great demand in that neighborhood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, ail the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. These pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
