A TASMANIAN MIRACLE.

PARTIAL PARALYSIS AND WHOLE PROSTRATION ENTIRELY CURED. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK P LLS CREATE A SENSATION IN HOBART. (From the Hobert Clipper) Henry Dixon Clakke, a native of Hobart, Tasmania, tells the story of a cure effected by the use of the now famous Dr. Williams' fink Fills for Pale People, which in its marvellous details proves the adage that truth is stranger than fiction. Twelve years ago he fell from the scaffolding of a building in course of erection in Collins street, Melbourne, and was taken to" the hospital insensible. He recovered and was sent home The next morning he was too stiff to go to work, and resolved on resting awhile. Ihe next day he was worse, and in addition to feeling feverish and unwell, was seized with twitching pains in the back whenever he attempted to straighten himself. These increabed in virulence, and were accompanied with intense pains in the head He lost the use of his left arm, and partially that of his left le««\ as well as feeling a numbness all down the side, extending from the shoulder to the region of the abdomen. Electricity was tried am mgst other things, but without relief. So much was he insensible to outward agencies that he could bear the application of the battery to his arm to any degree without feeling it. To use his own expression, •' You could jab a needle into my arm and 1 could not teelit. He was given up as a hopeless paralytic by the medical fraternity of Melbourne after he had spent his last shilling in trying to get better. He then resolved on coming over to Tasmania at the request of his relatives in the faint hope that the climate might perhaps give him relief. But years dragged on, and his sufferings were without end. - 1 thought," said he, " frequently of COMMITTING SUICIDE rather than continue to be a burden upon my friends, for my miserable plight was exceedingly depressing, as well as painful. 1 found relief in a sense of the word by sitting on the verandah in the sun • but when I saw my friends go past to work, it only made me the more miserable for I was always a very active man. There are not a tew who remember the pile and wretched object I was seated in the verandah of my mother's house in Macquarie street, and many can testify to the marvellous care which took place. I got hold of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and took four boxes of them. One morning I found I could lift my arm quite easily It all came on in the night, and then I bejan to feel better ri»-ht off in about a week from when the change bet in the pains had left me alto-ether, and I cannot describa to you the relief I felt both in body and mind. A fortnight later, and I could walk about and eat well. I had another sensation tuen, which was new to me— the feeling of hope. Only those who have passed an ordeal like mine can tell what that actually means." " What doctors did you have to attend you ?" " I would tell you, but perhaps, they wouldn't care to have their names mentioned in a case like mine, which they turned up as honeless Lut 1 spent in all £170, and being then a beggar, came home to die. JSow there is no fear of my being reduced to beggary a.^ain and as tor dying, I'm not going to throw a seven yet for a "W while 1 can assure yju.
