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.” < As Mrs. Wolcott concluded the recital of her trouble the representative of The Courier Norm Georgia floricuimral College, DEPARTMENT OF TttE UNIVERSITY, AT OAHLONEGA, GA.

Al though Mrs. Wolcott is sixty-two years of ! age. and has suffered an affliction that might readily prostrate a younger person, she i looked wcllaml hearty, and gave evidence j of strength and activity unusual for her age. Inquiry at the two drug stores in the vil -1 lage near by brought forth the in format ioi that the case of Mrs. Wolcott was'veil known i throughout that section, and was considered a remarkable cure. Both druggist's reported that there was n steady demand for. Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pole People. from the Republienn, Harbor Springe, i(irh. 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 ing them ODd when the fourth box was ptmc I was as yon see me now—a perfectly well man. To I>r. Williams’ Pink Pills I Ifwe my life and 1 wish I could sing their praises throughout the land that all might know the life-giving po,wer of lit tip pellets. Cer tainly suffering humanity has had no belter friend than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pillsoontain, in aoon deiisod form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are ulso a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all ease? trising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
