I doctored with two skillful doctors hut received no benefit, and also used a galvanic battery but kept getting worse and the doctors told me they could do no inore. This was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever having the use of iny limbs again, and did not expect to live very long. I was unable to dress or undress rnyself, and could not get around the house unless I was moved in a chair. "I think it was in June that I read of the case of a man in SaratogaCo., N. Y., wbo was taken very much as myself. He had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People which contained in a condensed form, all the elements necesary to give uew life and richness to the blood and restore sliattered. nerves, and had been cured by their use. "I learned that the pilla were prepared by thd Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and only cosl 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 at any drnggist's, and sent for two boxes. I used ttie pills faithfully and they gave ine an appetite. I tlien sent for ioiir more boxes, and before I had taken all of them my feet and legs bieb had been cold began to get warm. "I was a member of the Town Board tbat snmmer and bad to be carried and put into a wagon to go to the meetings, and in faet was helpless, as my neighbors kno,v. In August I could walk around tlie house by pusbing a cbair. I kept getting better and managed to move around more, until at éiectiun time tbat year, 1 walked wilii a cañe to the polls, a short distance from my home. I eontinued to take Dr. Wiiliams' Pink Pills for Pale People nntil I liad tnken eigbteen boxes. I could tben get around, and today walk to the post office and back , a distance of one-quarter of a mile, three times a day, and attend to my duties as postmaster. "In the spring of 1893 I was elected town clerk wbich office I held for thre.e years. I bad previously been a justice of the peace for thirty-two years. I ano now 70 years of age, and have lived in this town for about forty-six years. Kor nearly ftfty years T worked at the blacksmitb's trade. I ain able to do work in my garden now, anl saw some of my wood. I consider tbat my restoration to health s due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pule People. Edwin R. Trut."
