A FATHERS STORY.

From the Evening Crescent, Appleton, TCts. A remarkable cure from a disease which liac generally wrecked the lives of children has attracted much attention among the residents of Appleton. The case is that of little Willard Creech, sou of Richard D. Creech, a well known employe of one of the large paper mills in the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacked by spinal disease and his parents had given up all hope of his ever being well again when, as by a miracle, he was healed and is now in school as happy as any of his mates. Mr. Creech, the father of the boy, who resides at 1062 Second street, Appleton, Wisconsin, told the following story:

“Our boy was aosoiutely helpless. His lower limbs were paralyzed, and when we used electricity he could not feel it below his hips. Finally we let the .doctor go, as he did not seem to help our son, and we nearly gave up hope. My mother, who lives in Canada, wrote advising the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and I bought some. “This w’as when our boy had been on tlie stretcher for an entire year and helpless for nine months. In six weeks after taking the pills wenoted improvement, and infourmonthshe was able to go to school. “It is two years since he took the first of the pills, and he is at school now just as happy and well as any of tie other children. It was nothing else in the world that saved the boy than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.”

He Goes to School.
