ANSTUSTER LOSÜItHE ÜSE OF H!S LEBSMDARHS. Edwin R. Tripp, oí Middleíieid Center, Wleets with a Hazardous Encounter Which Renders Hlm Helpless. From Otseao Republican, Cooperslown, iV. T. Mr. Edwin E. Tri pp, the postmaster at Middlefield Center, N. Y, recently liad a angeroua experience which left him in a ïelpless state. His aystem waa so much hattered that it waa feared he might never ecover. In an interview with a reporter of the Republican, regarding this experience which lad attracted considerable attention, Mr. ipp stated : "In Marcli, 1892, I was taken with what I afterward learned was locomotor ataxia, and ■was unable to walk, and I kip getting worse until I lost the use of iiiy arms. I doctored with two skillful doctors but reeived no benefit, and also used a galvanic attery but kept getting worse and the doctors told me they could do no more. This was in May and June, 1892. I gave up all hope of ever having the use of my limbs again, and did not expect to live veiy long. I was unable to dress or undress myself, and could not get around the house unless 1 was moved in a chair. " I think it was in June that I read of the case of a man in Saratoga Co., N. Y., who was taken very much as myself. He had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People which oontained, in a condensed form, all the elementa necessary to give new life and richness to the hlood and restore shattered nerves, and had been cured by their use. " I learned that the pills were prepared by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and only cost 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 at any druggüt's, and sent for two boxes. I used the pills faithfully and they gave me an appetite. I then sent for four more boxes, and before I had taken all of them my feet and legs which bad been cold began to get warm. " I was a member ot the Town Board that sumraer and had to be carried and put into a wagon to go to the meetings, and in fact was helpless, as my neighbors know. In August I could walk around the house by pushing a chair. 1 kept getting better and managed to move around more, until at election time that year, I walked with a cañe to the polls, a short distance from my home. I continued to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People until I had taken eighteen boxes. I ooufd Ilien get around, and to-day walk to the post office and back, a distance of onequarter of a mile, three times a day, and attend to my duties as postmaster. " In the spring of 1893 I was elected town elerk, which office I held for three years, I had previously been a justice of the peace for thirty-two years. I am now 70 years of age, and have lived in this town for about forty-six years. For nearly fifty years I worked at the blacksmith's trade. I am ■ able to do work in my garden now, and saw some of my wood. I consider that my restoration to health is due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Edwin E. Tripp." Subscribed and sworn to before me this 23d day of June, 1897. Homeb Hannah, Notary Public
