LITTLE PARALYTIC.
IRENE COSH. . y; DARTING PAINS IN LIMBS. '. AILING 3 YEARS-THEN CURED. ■ DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. " Paraiasis for three years! Yes, that's what Irene here had, and Dr. Williams Pink Pills .alone:cured her," said Mrs. Alfred Cosh,* North-street, N. Ipswich. ,;, ■ "Irene was only a little tot of three- when she got a nasty fall, and I blame this for bringing on the Paralysis," said Mrs. Cosh. "Up to-this time you wouldn't wish to. see a more lively or healthy child. ; Her legs seemed •to lose their power at the knees, and I could not make it out. A cold in the limbs, that's what I thought she must. have. However, I got very alarmed, and', called-in the doctor. He said it was Paralysis. For three months ho attended her, but she cot no better.': In the end he had to ceaso bis visits. Ho told me that" the only hope-he, toulcLgiv'o mo -was "that she might get, stronger as she grow : up.' She got worse.! Poor little ; girl, she ; could not stand .; up- j right unless slms clutched, a chair or table, j It .wrung my heart, when J, saw the way she used to crawl round on' her hands and knee«. . " Everything in my power I did for her. So that she could be wheeled about I got her a little .cart. Sho was weak all over, but her; ankles wore the worst part. Now and again she had excruciating pains shooting and darting through her. She Would scream out in agony, and tho only way I could keep her quiet was to hold her up tight to me. Poor littlo mite, how she did suffer.'" I got all sorts :of liniments and rubbed her foot and legs. Still she got no better. ;.;If.she rested too long in one position the pain always started. For two years she had to stay away from school, and then I started to take her in her little cart.; It was tho -last of, my thoughts that Irene would over get better. One time she was laid up completely. She was quite unable to move at all. • ; - ■ , . ."So is it '■■■ any wonder that my husband and I aro indeed grateful to i Dr. Williams' Pink Pills? I gave Irene half a pill after each meal. Every day saw her a little better. Her ankles got strong, and she began to walk a little. But it was just like a baby learning its first stop. Sir© would get on. her feet and totter across the room, and then have to rest and catch" hold of a support. In six weeks she could go the length of .the kitchen, and then little by little she mended. But it was slow work. I am sure Irene took over 50 boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink ' Pills—but I wouldn't count 50 more too muoh considering all they did for our child.- Now Irene • can attend school - and can play about as freely and happily as any mother could wish. My husband has also taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills with good results, and they did my little boy a world of good after lie had Bronchitis." Dr., Williams' Pink Pills actually make new Wood—nothing' more. But, of course, you must get the genuine Dr. Williams' Pink .Pills, made by tho Dr.. Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington. Sent by mail from this address, or sold bv all chemists and storekeepers at os a box, six boxes 16s bo. rite for hints us to diet, etc.
