AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF TRUE PHILANTHROPY What Chas. H. Hackley has Done for Western Michigan- How the only Cloud in the Life of an Honored Man was Brushed away by Science. From the Grand Rapids, Mich., Evening Press. CHAS. H. HACKLEY. The most beautiful spot in Muskegon is inseparably associated with the name of Hackley, and in all Western Michigan there is not a name better known, and among the studious and those interested in deeds of philanthropy, tais name is known and admired. Chas. H. Hackley has been in the lurnber business continuously slee 1856, and in that time has amassed a fortune, which gives him a rating among the wealthy men of the nation. But with wealth there did not come that tightening of the purse-strings which is generally a marked characteristic of wealthy men. There is no prettier spot ia the State than Hackley Park in a square surrounded and pierced by stone walls, emphasizingwiththeir whiteness the green of faultlessly kept lawns, its crowning pride a towering soldier's monument on the top of which stands a bronze figure poiuting ever in remembrance of the héroes who died that the nation mightlive. Surrounding this park are the magnificent Hackley Public Library - a poem in granite - with its 60,000 volumes, and the etiually stately Hackley school, like a bee-hive with its 600 children. Other elegant buildings testify likewise to the liberality and muiiincence of this man who has pulled wealth out of theforests of Michigan. It is no wonder then that the name of Chas. H. Hackley ia known at home and abroad. His munificence to Muskegon alone represents an outlay of nearly half a million. For the past twenty years he has been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheumatism, also numbness oí the lower limbs, so mueh so that it has seriously interfered with his pleasure in life. For some time past his friends have noticed that he has seemed to Êrow young again, and to have recovered the ealth which he had in youth. To a correspondent of the Press, Mr. Hackley explained the secret of his transforraation, and to his friends who have known how he suffered, it is indeed a transformaron. " I have suffered for over twenty years," he said, seated in his private office, " with pains in my lower limbs sq severely that the only relief I could get at night was by putting cold water compresses on my limbs. I was bothered more at mghtthanin the day time. The neuralgic and rheumatie pains in my limbs, whieh had been growing in intensity for years, finally became chronic. I made tftree trips to the Hot Bprings with only partial relief, and then feil back to my original state. I couldn't út itill, and my sufteriiigs began to make life look very blue. Two yeara ago last September I noticed an aecount of Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People, and what tliey had done for others, and some cases so nearly resembled mine that 1 was intorosted. But I did not know whether the testimoniáis were genuine or not, and I did not wish to lc humbugged, so I wrote to one who had friven a testimonial, an eminent professor of muüic in Canada. The reyly I received was even stronger than the printed testimonial, and it gave me faith in the medicine. " I began taking thi pilla and found them to be all that the professor had told me they would be. It was two or three months before I experienced any perceptible betterment of my condition. Mydiseasewas of' such long standing that I did not expeet speedy recoTery, and was thankful even to be relieved. I progresscdrapidly, however, towardsrecovery, and for the last six months have feit myself a perfectly well man. I have reeommended the pills to many people, and am cnly too glad to assist others to healtn Ilirough the medium of tliis wonderful medicine. I cannot too niuch lor what it has done for me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have anenormous sale, and from all quarters come in glowing reports of the excellent results following their use.
