PARALYTIC STROKE AT SEA.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR OX A WELLINGTON BOAT. While on a voyage frqm Thames to Wellington to visit-her daughter, Mrs B. N. Ryan was suddenly stricken with a paralytio stroke. The affair has many mysterious features. One of the strangest things about tlio case' is that she went' to sleep poawfully, and a few hours later woke suddenly to find herself crippled -and powerless. She could neither speak nor move. As soon as the boat roached Wellington medical attendance was procured, and everything possible was done for the unfortunate woman. The doctors declared that, the whole left 6ide was paralysed. After being treated by practitioners in private, Mrs Ryan was removed to Ilia hospital, but the hospital authorities, 'after doing all in their power for her. sent her to lior horns, at Euaotumi, near Thames. She continued, however, as helpless in Kuaotunu as sho had been in Wellington until she began using Dr Williiamii' pink pitta for pale people. They raised her from • her bed in a way that-' is little short of miraculous, and this has caused a good deal of talk throughout her section of the Thames Peninsula. After the second boxful Mrs Ryan' regained some power to move. She felt a tingling sensation in her limbs, which was. of courso, the gradual circulation of tho blood, brought about by these wonderful blooc(-building and nerve-toning pills. In a short while she was able to leave her bed, and a little later to walk into the kitchen. When tlvo stroke seized her, her mouth had been drawn back to lisv ear, and she presented a pitiable sight, but now the muscles relaxed and tho mouth resumed its proper position. Thus encouraged, Mrs Ryan persevered steadily, and improvement continued with each boxful. " Before I took them," said she, •" I could neither move nor speak. Now I can get about actively, attend to my household work, and talk as well as ever. I admit," added Mrs Rvan, " that I am not quite so strong as before, but Dr Williams' pink ipills have dons wnmfore for mo,'oven after skilful doctors and the best hospital treatment had failed." Mrs Ryan is now living in Mackay street. Thames. Of course Mrs Ryan was careful to obtain from the Kuaotunu chemist the genuine Now_ Zealand Dr pink pill 3 made in Wellington. J\o other form of this medicine would "have been suited to her ease, for the special conditions of these Islands mako it absolutely neccssary to prepare these pills according to a special New Zealand formula. Substituted' pills in small glass bottles, or enolosed in a foreign wrapper, would have been utterly unable to cure her paralysis. Paralysis is probably the wowt of all nervous disorders, and when this famous remedy lias cured eases of paralysis and locomotor ataxia it. is not surprising that they are a never-failing- Tcinedy for epilepsy, fits, neuralgia, St. vitus' daiuio, nervous exhaustion, early decay, and like troubles. But yon must make sure tlish (lie full addrosii, Wellington, New Zealand, is printed in red capital letters on the outside wrapper and that ihe pills are in a wooden box—not a "liws bottle. If you cannot, obtain this genuine package from your local dealer, write direct io the Dr Williams' medicine oo„ Wellington. This is the kind that raised Mrs Ryan, of Thames, from her bed.—Advt.
