STRICKEN DOWN
BY PARALYSIS
ALONE AT THE TIME AND UNAItPTO MOVE

For a Year a Woman Seeks Relief
Without Success, but It Finally
Comes at Last.
Another Case of Nerve Exhaustion Cited, Which
was Cured in a Similar Way by
a Nerve Food.
from Mir Courier-Herald, Saginatc, Mich, j
That we know not what a day may l>ritir
forth is an old adage and a true one. To-day,
our skies are bright and sunny; we have
health, strength and netivity. We reckon
Confidently on the fntttre and lay our plans
accordingly, bnt when that to-morrow comes
we may be stricken suddenly down by pie
hand of disease, and lie on a bed of suffering
tfnd sorrow.
Every day we see illustrations of this fact
among the friends in our own circle. To-day
they are well and strong and are pursuing
their daily labors; to-morrow the afflicting
hand of disease or death lias brought them
Mfcwn to helpless illness or the grave. Among
the many ills that afflict humanity, and one
that baffles the highest medical skill of the
present day, none is r are feared and none
leaves the victim mo e helpless or hopeless
of ultimate relief than that known as
paralysis.
i Sometimes it creeps gradually over the
victim, perceptibly closing its ever tighten
ing coils from day to day and again it comes
like a lightning Hash, and the once strong
man or woman is more helpless thanaehiln.
Such was the ease with Mrs. Ruth Wolcott,
the wife of Rev. 11. B. Wolcott; an esteemed
minister of the gospel, living oil their hand
some farm a few miles from the thriving
little town of Blanchard, Isabella County,
Michigan.
s - While attending to her daily duties the
hand of that dread disease, paralysis, was'
laid heavily upon her, and when she was
alone at her fireside.
■ In" conversation with a Courier-Herald
representative, who had heard of her severe
ease and cure, she spoke as follows: “ The
stroke came on one day shortjy aflcr dinner.
The men hat! just gone out ou the farm to
work in the fields, and I was ironing. All
at once I felt a flash over my brain like an
electric shock and something that seemed
like a bead of prrspiration seemed to run
down my left lower limb into my shoe. I sat
down for a moment and then, feeliug better,
resumed my ironing. Again, in a few min
utes, there came another Hash over my head,
and again there was the peculiar sensation
gf something running down ray side. Then
I knew that something serious was at out to
ri*s*r***s**fe -
After I had Wd there fr a few minutes my
husband came in and, hot seeing hie where
I had been working, he looked for me and
found me lying helpless.
: “My speech was hot affected, and I told
htm what was tire matter. A doctor was at
once sent for to the village of Blanchard, a
few miles away, and he came out to the
farm in about three hours, but he could not
afford me any relief. This was three, yearn
ago—in April, 18112—that I suffered from
this stroke of paralysis." It affected my left
side and rendered me helpless. For a year
following this I had skilled medical attend
ance, using among other things an electric
battery, but it all did me no good.
- “At this time I read in a paper about Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, and they were also
recommended to me by some of my friends,
who had heard of the many cures that they
hfid effected in cases like mine. After I had
been taking them for about two weeks I lie
gan to feel better and have continued to
steadily improve. The paralysis was so bad
that I could not walk around the house, but
had to be lifted about- Mv left arm was also
entirely helpless. lam now able to walk
around and gfet out to call oivniy. friends and
neighbors, and am so well that I can get
around very well. I used twenty boxes of
Iflnk Pills.”

though Mrs. Wolcott is sixty-two years of

One a l ' the leading cilrxenx. of Northern
Michigan is Mr. GeoVgc W. V liillls, who lii s
made himself turnons as a successful hop 1
i manager ai the popular slimmer resort, Bay
j View . When Mr. Childs first arrived nt
j Buy View , some years ago, the resort busi
! ness of Northern Michigan was still in its
; infancy. Willi the little money he had he
j [un.-chu.sed the Bay View House, but running
| a hotel iu this part of the-country at that
time was rather nji-hill business, and he had
| to work night and day to moke both ends
] meet.
“ When I came to Bay View I was a
strong, robust man, but close confinement to
my duties ns manager of the hotel and
tiie amount of hard lalxii- I w as compelled to
do, soon told on me and I was taken to my
bed.
“ I immediately began doctoring but the
physicians consulted did me no good, and I
paid out many hard-earned dollars in doctor
bills.
“My nervous system was completely
played out, I suffered severe pains in the
head ami hail no appctltb. Finally I told
my wife that I had determined to sell out
and leave the country, thinking that a
change of climate might lie licnefieml. ' But
in the midst of my sufferings, like the sun
shine that breaks through a dark clond, a
messeilgie cuuu-. from heaven, so;Jo speak.
While I was perusing my rooming paper I
chanced to glaue* at an article speaking jff
she said it would only be another useless ex
penditure. I, however, thought ‘nothing
ventured, nothing gained,’ and determined
to have a box, os they cost only 60 cents.
By the time I had taken half the box I felt
much relieved and then I knew that'l- had
struck a remedy much better than a physic
ian and certainly a gnodtjeid oft coper.
“ After-I find used the whole box I was
able to leave ray lied.' I persevered intuit
