'The Remarkable Experience of a Resident of the His- ; toric Old Town. litterly Helpless and Bed-Ridden for Five Yearsâ€"“ls Case Baffled the Skill or Physiciansâ€"It is the Absorbing Topic for Miles Aroundâ€"The Details and Causes or “is Remarkable Recovery. Niagara. Falls Review. It has been frequently declared that the age of miracles has long since passed. However, newspaper men and correspond~ ents have occasionally published accounts of remarkable escapes from death by acci- dent or disease, which have clearly proved that an over-ruling Providence still governs human afl’aii‘s, and is interested in human IIVes. These accounts of extraordinary dc- liverances from positions of danger in this . .age when everybody is of such a practical turn of mind have demanded evidence of an ‘unimpeacliable character before they would be accepted by the thoughtful and intelli- gent reader, and sometimes a most search- ing enquiry into the facts have furnished pOSitive proof completely substantiating what has been claimed in some cases. While we have recognized the possibility of such wonderful occurrences, it has sel- dom been our privilege to investigate them, {md by careful examination and enquiry into the-facts arrive at a conclusion agree- mg with the declarations of those presum- ‘ably acciuainted with the incident. . _ To-day, however, we are enabled to pub- lish in the Review an account of one of the most wonderful and miraculous deliverances f a fellow creature froma life of pain and iifi‘ering. We can vouch for the absolute truth of every statement in this article in regard to this remarkable restoration, having examined for ourselves both the man on whom the miracle was performed and many who knew him only as a. bed-ridden sufferer, and who now meet him in the daily routine of life. It is now sometime since the rumor reached us that Mr. Isaac Addison, of historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, had been cured of a long standing chronic rheumatism. These rumors being both repeatcdand denied We decided to investi- gate the case for our own personal satisfac- tion. , Accordingly some days ago we drove over to the historic town on our tour of investi- gation. \Vhile yet some miles from Nia-. gore we met a farmer who was engaged in loading wood, and asked him if he could tell us where Mr. Addison lived. At first he seemed puzzled, but when we said the gentleman we were seeking had been sick but was recovered, he said, “Oh, yes, I know him well ; that man’s restoration was quite a miracle, and it was Pink Pills that did it. He lives right up in thetown. It is four miles away.” We thanked him and mentally noted the first bit of evi- dence of truthfulness of the report. If this gentleman, living four miles away, knew it so he could speak so positively about it, we concluded there must be some truth in the rumor. ‘ Reaching the town we put up at Long’s Hotel, and while in conversation with the genial host we soon found that our mission was to be a. success. “ Know Mr. Addi- son,” said mine host, “I have known him a. long time. His indeed was a remarkable recovery. All the doctors about here did their utmost, but he only grew worse, and for years he was bed-ridden. Now he is as smart» as anyone of his ago. His recovery is a. real miracle.” We were then directed to Mr. Addison’s residence, and found swell-built gentleman with clear eye, steady nerve and remark- ably quick action. Almost doubting whether this gentleman could be the object of our search we acquainted him with the purpose of our visit and requested him to tell the story of his illness and recovery. Without hestitation he commenced. “About eight years ago I had peculiar feelings when I walked, as though bits of wood or gravel were in my boots, or a wrinkle in my socks. These feelings were followed by sensations of pain flying all over the body, but settling in the back and every joint. 1 have thought these symp- toms were like creeping paralysis. In about eighteen months I was stiffened with rheu- matism so that I could not work and very shortly afterwards I was unable to walk, or use my hands or arms to feed myself. I lay upon the bed and if I desired to turn over I had to be rolled like a log. The pains I suffered were terrible and I often wished myself dead. My kidneys com- menced to trouble me causmg me to urinate eight or nine times during the night. In order to rise' my wife would first draw my feet over the side of the bed then going to my head would lift me to my feet. I was as stiff as a stick and could not help myself. To walk was impossible, but my wife supporting me I could drag or shuffle myself along a. smooth floor. I was in that helpless condition for about five years, suffering the most intense and agonizing pains. Iwas a poor man but whenever I could get enough money I would purchase some of the so called» cures for rheumatism. It was useless, however, for they did not help me. The physicians visited me. Dr. Anderson said it was chronic rheumatism, and that I could not be cured. However, he did what he could with bandages of red flannel and, rubbing on alternate days with iodine and heats foot oil. It was severe treatment and produced unbearable sensations, but did-me no good. Dr. Watts said,“.Isaac, if I knew a single thing to do you good I would give it to you, but I don’t.’ So I gave myself up as hope- less and patiently waited for death to end my sufferings. At times I was even tempt- ed to end my own life. “But one day my family told me of a news- paper account of the wonderful cure of Mr. Marshall, of Hamilton, and I was induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I only pur- chased one box and although that box did not seem to do me any good I determined to persevere, and got six more. Before I had taken the six boxes I found relief from my pains, continuing the use of the Pink Pills I have been gradually recovering, and am now entirely free from pain, and can walk a mile comfortably. At first I used crutches, then only one, but now I have no use for them at all. I have gone alone to Toronto, Niagara Falls, and to Lockport, N. Y., and have felt no inconvenience. “The people wondered when they saw me on the street after having been bed-ridden for five years. They asked me what I was them I was taking Pink Pills some of them laughed. But I have never taken anything else since I began the use of PinkvPilIs, and I am now better. That’s the proof... Why,” said he, “ just see how I can walk,” and he took a turn about the room stepping with a firmness, that many a man twenty-five years younger might envy. Continuing he said, “ For two years I could not move my left hand and arm an inch, but now I can put it anywhere with- out pain,” accompanying the statement with a. movement of the arm and rubbing the ltack of his head with his arm. On be- ing asked if he felt any disagreeable sensa- tions on-taking Pink Pills, he laughed and said “no, that was the beauty of it. With other medicines there were nasty and un- pleasant feelings, but I just swallowed the pills and never felt them eXcept in the beneficial effects.” As we saw the hearty old gentleman so happy in his recovered health, and heard him so graphically describe his sutl'erings, we agreed ,with him that a great miracle had been wrought through the agency of Dr. W'iiliams’ Pink Pills. We sought out a number of residents of the town, and in conversation with them learned that the account Mr. Addison had given us of his condition was in every particular correct. His recovery has naturally been the talk of the town and in social circles, and many others are usingPink Pills for various ail- ments with good results. A CHAT wrru THE MAYOR. We called on H. Pafford, Esq., Mayor of the town, and proprietor of a tasty and prosperous drug business. He verified what Mr. Addison had said as to his suffer- ings and helpless condition, and said he never expected to see him around again. He said he considered Mr. Addison’s restor- ation truly remarkable, and that the knowl- edge of the benefit to him had made an ex- tensive demand for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, so much that their sales are away ahead of any other proprietary medicine in the market. He remarked that although so extensively advertised, if their use were not followed by beneficial results the sale would rapidly decrease, but the firm hold they have taken on the public proves their worth, and that they have come to stay. THE DIVISION COURT CLERK. We called upon J. B. Secord, Esq., Clerk of the Division Court, who said he had known Mr. Addison for fnauy years, and that he bore a high reputation for truthful- ness. He knew that in the earlier stages of his trouble he had tried several physi- cians in yain, and at last became incapable of moving himself. As a last chance he took Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and these at first seemed' to make him worse and the pains increased, but continuing them they acted like magic, and resulted in a complete cure. His cure is looked upon by the people as something wonderful, and no one doubts that the agency employed, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, was the means under Divine Providence of effecting the cure. Having most carefully and conscientious- ly examined into the miraculous recovery of Mr. Addison, and dispassionately re. viewing the whole evidence, we came home fully convinced of the truthfulness of the report. It is a pleasure for us to publish this full and authentic account of the mar- vellous recovery of Mr. Isaac Addison and. so far as we can lend the help of our col- umns to make known this wonderful and efficacious medicine which in so many in- stances has produced startling and unboped for relief from pain and illness. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a perfect blood builder and nerve restorer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ Dance, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of la grippe, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erys1pe- las, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of any nature. _ These Pills. are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, of Brock- ville, Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y.,and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s trade mark (printed in red ink) and wrapper, at 50 cents a box, or six b )xes for $2.50. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the dozen or hundred, and any dealer who ofi‘ers substi- tutes in this form is trying to defraud you and should be avoided. The public are also cautioned against all other so-called blood builders and nerve tonics, no matter what name may be given them. They are all imitations whose makers hope to reap a pecuniary advantage "from the wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. lVilliams’ Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and refuse all mitations and substitutes. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills may be had of alidruggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company from either address. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment compara- tively inexpensive as compared with other remedies or medical treatment. Humor of the Commons. Sir John Lubbock, M.P., in a recent ad- dress described some amusing incidents of the House of Commons. AV member from the other side of the Tweed, alluding to the vote of £2,000,000 in support of the Afghan war described it as “ a fleabitc iii the ocean.” Another, while advocating an in- crease in the European troops employed in India, remarked. “ You may depend upon it, sir, the pale face of the British soldier is i the backbone of the Indian army.” Mr. Sullivan once delivered a speech on the rel- ative merits of Irish and Scotch whiskey. He was complaining that Scoich whiskey was introduced into Ireland and passed off as “ genuine Irish.” “ The stuff,” he said. “ is so hot that it goes down the throat like atorchlight procession.” In 1879 a young Irishman got up very late to speak. on a particular subject. He (Sir John) was sitting about six feet from him, and, to his surprise, was unable to hear a word he said. He persevered gallantly, with profuse gesticiilation,and he was on his legs about a quarter of an hour, during the whole of which time no one heard a. single word. He believed that the gentleman in question was very nervous, was simply speaking to himself, and thought he Was talking aloud. ___â€".â€"..-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€" Uncle Sam pays $90,000,000 a year in doing for my rheumatism and when I told salaries. buss AND WOMEN.
