THE REMARKABLE STORY AND
AFFIDAVIT OF DR. LEWIS
BLUNDIN.
Aflllct.il willi Paralyili Cor Twenty*
At* Y.c.ra—A Cat. of World
Wide Interest.
(/Vom the Philadelphia Timet.)
Lewi. D. Blumlin was born in '4l it
Bridgewater, Pa., and is now a resident ot
Hulmcville name state, its went through
the war as private, sergeant and hospital
steward of Company C. 2Sth Pa. Volunteers.
Asa result of an attack of typhoid fever iu
Ga., his kidneys became affected and this
linn)ly developed into spinal disease, which
lasted through his army service. In '66 he
was mustered out and entered JefTersom
Medical College, I’hila., as a student from
which he graduated two years later. The
remainder of the story is best told in hie
own words:
“ One day, after I had graduated, I was
lying on a sofa at my home iu Munayunk,
when 1 felt a cold sensation in my lower
limb* a- though the blood had suddenly left
them. When 1 triad to move them 1 was
horrified at the discovery that I was para
lyzed from my hips to my toes. The paral
ysis was complete and a pin or a pinch of
ihe flesh caused no pain. I could not move
a muscle. I called in Dr. William C. Todd,
of Philadelphia. He made an exhaustive
examination of my case, and announced
that my trouble was caused by inflamma
tion of the spinal cord, and that I would
likely have another stroke of paralysis. I
eon uited Dr. I. W. Gross and Dr. Pancoast
of Jefferson College, Philadelphia, and Dr.
Morehouse, of Philadelphia with the same
result.
“ One day last September I decided to try
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I had always been troubled with a eort of
vertigo after my first stroke of paralysis to
such an extent that when I got out of my
bt-d uiv head would swim and * I had diffi
culty m saving myself from falling. My
appetite was bad, digestive organs ruined
and no assimilation of food. In addition to
my many other ailments, rheumatism held
a prominent place. By the time I had
finished the first box of Pink Pills I was
comparatively free from these minor ills.
First one ail would disappear, then another
until the pills got to work upon the founda
tion stones of my trouble —paralysis. Before
I had taken the six boxes of pills, I was
sitting in my chair and one afternoon, when
1 felt a curious seu-ation in my left foot.
Upon investigation I found it hod flexed or
in other words, become movable, and I
could move it. From that time on my im
provement was steady and it was not long
before I was walking around on crutchee
with little or no discomfort. It was three
vears beforetuking the Pink Pills that 1 had
been able to use the crutches at any time;
and I feel sure that Pink Pills have done
me more good than all the doctors and all
the medicine in the country and as they are
not costly I can easily afford the treatment."
