A Historic Hotel

Tht Favorito Hostelry in Ante-Beilum Days- Often Patronizod by Abraham Lincoln- From its Veranda Stephen A. Douglas Delivered a Great Speech- Again the Scène of an Important Event. From the Trv-Ommty Seribe, JKymouth, UU Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the I historie Cuyler House at Plymouth, Ill.,a hostelry where Abraham Lincoln often slept, where " Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the inner man in ante-bellura days, and from the veranda of which Stephen A. Douglas de livered one of his great speeches. This article has uot so much to do, however, with this historie hotel, as it has with the landlord'a thirteen-year-old laughing, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie. As one sees her to-day, the picture of perfect health, it is hard to believe that nearly nine of the thirteen years of her life were spent on the bed of invalidism , that for months she nerer walked, and years suffered the pain, misery and distress of inflammatory rheumatism in its worst form. Able pliysicians were employed but no permanent benefit rpsulted. Mrs. Thompson heard of a wonderful cure which had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People, and was influenced by it to purchase some of the pills for her daughter. Before ahe had taken half a box, there was marked improvement in her condition ; when she had taken two boxes she was completely restored to health. To-day, there is not a healthier child than Ollie Thompson. The case came to the attention of the editor of the Tri-County Scribe, and a reporter was detailed to learn the story of this remarkable cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She eaid: "Ollie was a hearty, well-developed child from the time she was born until she was three years old. In 1887 she was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism. For nine years she wasnever entirely free from the (lisease, and much of the time was in an alarming condifion. At h'mcs, she could notwnlk, and her spine was drawn out of shape so that she could not stand straight. One of the doctors said if she became well she would be a cripple lor life. " Dr. Grigran, of Augusta, was the first doctor who had her case. He doctored her through two serious times of the disease, and finally told us he could not cure her. We doctored hr most all the time, but when she was ten years old she had an unusually severe attack, and we called in Dr. Kreider, of Prairie City, where we were then living. He tried hard to cure her but finally gave it up. He said, ' I ean do nothing further, the case is the worst I have witneesed.' "We nearly gave up hope then, but called Dr. McDaniel who doctored her after we came to Plymouth, but no benefit was derived. "Then I heard how Uncle Wesley Walton had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People. Knowing the condition he had been in, I thought if the pills cured him, theymighthelpOllie. Consequently I bought a box for her, and before she had finished it she was much better. She continued taking them, and when the second box had been used filie was well, and has neyer had rheumatism since. " I cannot say too much for the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for I believe Ollie would have been dead long ago,if she had not taken them." "Victoria Thompson.
