BACKED BY HIS OATH Crippled by Locomotor Ataxia. C. E. Williams, Kapunda, Drew Sick Pay for Two Years. A Pain-racked Paralytic, Cured after Doctors Failed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Onco more the theories of the doctors havo been disproved by actual hard facts. Charles E. Williams, of Kaipunda, has proved th,at Locomotor Ataxia can be cured. He was given up as a hopeless, crippled incurab'e. Tho doctor testified that he was totally disabled. For two years 'and five months ha drew siok pay from the Sir John Franklin Lodge of the 1.0.0. F.; M.U., Kapunda. C. E. Williams himself was the only one who did not despair. He took.Dr. Williams' Pink PiUs and they cured him—cured him completely and for good, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt. Mr. Williams has now gone before David James, M.L.A., the Mayor of Kftpunda, and haa sworn the following statutory oath that the facts as he states them are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth :— Satutory Declaration. "I, Charles E. Williams, Mining Operator in the State of South Australia, do solemnly and sincerely declare that Di\ Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured me permanently and positively of Locomotcr Ataxia. I am one of the oldest citizens in South Australia. I was born in Cornwall on July 6, 1830, and came to the Colonies in 1848. The next year I moved to Kapunda, and I havo lived here in Be-.*,k Street, in this very house ever since. "In the Kapunda Copper Mines T had to work very hard, and was often exposed to cold and wet. One day. when off colour, I caught a chill—and went down with Influenza. Another chill brought on a relapse and starccl my disease. Day by day I got steadjJv worse. At last I was a regular invalid. My ankkn grew stiff and useless. My back was lamo and every bone in my body ached. Rheumatic pains st'ffened up all my muscles and practically crippled me. In my joints a constant gnawing ache ato right into my mairow. And then Locomotor Ataxia began to como on. At first the attacks wera, gradual,■' but they quickly •. rew moro frequent and agonising. Lightning pains shot through my legs. They, lasted only a few seconds, but were like sharp stabss of a knife ripping through my nerves and muscles. Soon these pains spread all over me, and I feltai if my; body were squeezed *n a tremendous vice. For two years I did not do a tap of work—and drew sick pay from my Lodge. I thought it wai Rheumatism—but -soon my sight became affected, and that is the surest sign of Locomotor Ataxia. "When I couid get about at all I had to walk with two sticks. It took ma .an hour to hobble from the Post Office to my house, only 300 yards away. I knew if I took one false step and fell I could never get up again. I lost all power to direct my legs. I had to resort to all sorts of devices to dress myself. I could not stoop to put. my boots on to save my life. If I closed my eyes and tried to put my heels together, I would havo faUon headlong. These little things showed me clearly that I was becoming gradually paralysed with Looqmotov Ataxin. "At last I had to give up my bed and tako a couch by the fire. I spent nearly all my time there—and was just able to hobble across to an easy chair. When I wanted to move I had to use a rope to life myself. All the while I was suffering the most acute torture from tho sharp lightning stabs of pain that pierced every nerve, muscle, and joint in my body. My whole health railed as the Locomotor Ataxia advanc* cd. My stomach went back on me. The lightest meal left a heavy lump on r>y chest as if my food had turned to lead My spirits sank, and 1 resigned myself to <a miserable death. Certainly I hod not much hope, for doctors say that Locomotor Ataxia is incurable. "I had the best medical attendance - but nothing did me the least good. T was as helpless as if I had been stricken with Paralysis. And worse than that I was torn every hour with the agonising pains. Some people said I lind acuto Rheumatism—but I honestly think that I preferred the Locomotor Ataxia because it promised an eavp Death and release from my pain. I was in this helpless, hopeless state when I saw a book telling how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cured all blood and nerve diseases On page 19 I read, in big type, the words Locomotor Ataxia! It explained that it was a kind of Paralysis caused by disease of the spine. The sympton.'s were just my own—and best of all, on tho same page, Mr. Thomas Jarvis, of Sydney, told how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him after he had suffered for months from the same disease. Every word showed that his case was exactly liko mine. I bought sorao Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, ami they cured my Locomotor Ataxia, absolutely and completely. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did not cure me in a week or a month, but 1 can honestly say that I noticed improvement after the very first box They loosened tho muscles of my back and gavo mo control over my nerves, so that I could stoop to lace my boots —thing that had been impossible for months. My appetite picked up, and a hearty meal caused no pain. After that every doso put new life into rrw?, and I gained rapidly in weight. The muscles of my legs and anr. grew stout and strong again. My eyesight became good, and every s'gn of Locomotor Ataxia disappeared. T|io bghtning pains became fewer and duller, and my helplessness was changed into activity. I kept on taking Dr. Will:anw'*Pink Pills till I used sixteen boxes. At last every atom of pain and weakness vanished. I threw away ray sticks and stood a cured man In stead of lying at home a holpless invalid, I joined my mates in tho mines. An long as I live I'll praise Dr. Wil-
