(/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."
