LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA.
A DISEASE LONG FIELD BY PHYSi•
CIANS TO HE INCURABLE.
Its Horrors are These oro Living Death—
The VIctim. Helpless. Ills Torture In-
tense—Loses Control of Rowels and.
Dlndder and is a Source or Constant
Worry. to Family and Friends—A
Remedy for the Disease Discovered.
Mr. Jas. McLean, a resident of Lefroy,
Simooe County, Ont., is known to every
man, woman and child for miles around
the vicinity of hie home, and all know of
the long years during whish his condition
has been that of a living death. Mr. Mc-
Lean tells of his injury, his years of tor-
ture, and his subsequent release from the
agonies of locomotor ataxia, in thefollow-
ing vivid language :—
In the year 1880 I was thrown from
a scaffold, falling on my bask on a stone
pile. I was badly hurt and narrowly es-
caped death. Plasters and liniments
were applied, and I seemed to get some.
what better. But the apparent Improve-
ment was short lived, rdy feet began to
get cold, and nothing that could be done
would warm them. The trouble then
spread to my legs, and from the waist
down I was attacked with shooting pains
flying along the nerves in thousands, and
causing the most terrible torture for days
and nights at a time. I could get no
relief save from the injections of mor-
phine. Six physicians treated me at
different times, but appeared only to
faintly understand my trouble, and could
do nothing for my relief. Some of the
doctors declared my trouble was rheuma-
tism, but two of them said it was a
disease of the spinal cord, that the trouble
would get worse and that sooner or later
my arms would become affected. This
prediction proved true. My left hand
dropped at the wrist joint and hung dead
and cold, and I had no more control of it
than if the hand were not on me. Fly
blisters and electricity were resorted to
without avail. My stomach was next At-
tacked with a burning, aching, nauseating
pain, causing the most distressing vomit-
ing and I often thought I would not see
morning. I have vomited almost con-
tinually for thirty six hours, and nothing
but morphine or chloroform could deaden
the anguish I suffered. But worse
• trouble was in store for me. I lost con-
trol of my bowels and water, and my
condition became most horrible, neces-
sitation constantly the greatest care and
watchfulness. I was now suffering from
the top of my head to the point of my
toes. I saw double, and had to keep my
eyes fixed steadily on the ground to make
a step at all, and the moment I raised my
eyes I would stagger and fall if I were
not grasping something. I could not
take a single step in the dark. For nine
long years I suffered all the horrors of a
living death. In 1889 I was admitted to
the Toronto General Hospital, where I
was treated for four months. I was told
that my trouble was locomotor ataxia,
and incurable, and I returned home no
better. After returning home I had
further medical treatment, but with no
better results than before, Finally I was
given the following certificate of iuour-
ability
CHusclant, July 27th, 1898.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that James
McLean has a disease of the spinal cord
(incurable) that renders him unfit to ob-
tain a living.
�.r A. T. LITTLE, M, D.
About this time I was strongly urged
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and oh
how I wish I had known of this great
remedy years ago 1 What anguish and
torture I would have been spared 1 Soon
after beginning the use of Pink Pills I
found myself improving. The pains left
me and I was able to discontinue the use
of the morphine. I regained control of
both bowels and bladder and gradually a
feeling of life returned to my logs and
arms. 1 can now walk without the aid of
either crutches or sticks and can take long
stridee. My stomach trouble has all left
me, and I can eat as heartily as ever in
my life. My friende, who never expected
to see me about again, are astonished at
the wonder Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
wrought in me. When I began theme of
the pills my weight was reduced' to 136
pounds, and it has now increased to 186.
I am a new man and it ie now impossible
for me to say enough praise of your mar-
vellous medioine. My wife also joins me
in thanks, and says it was a happy day
for her when I began the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, as since then she
has been able to get rest at night which
she had not done for so many long years
before. I hope Heaven may direct this
into the hands of some other poor suffer-
er, who may find lys I did, release from a
living death through your greatlife-saving'
remedy. Yours very gratefully.
JAorme McLeue.

Wm. Curry and John Crawford, young
men who have been spending the winter
in Juno, Florida, hunting, were attacked
by a panther Sunday eveuing. Curry
reoeived wounds which are thought to be
fatal, while Crawford will lose an eye.,
The young men were out hunting, and
the dug treed a young panther, which
they shot, not seeing the mother panther.
The young men laid down their guns and
began to skin the animal. They had
hardly begun work when the mother
panther, who was crouching on a limb of
a tree overhead, sprang upon them. The
hunters were crushed t0 the ground, and
for a few moments were at the enraged
beast's maroy. The animal planted its
slaws in the left side of Currie's face and
Coro it open. The unfortunate man rol-
led over, only to receive another blow
from the razor like claws of the savage
brute. In the meantime Crawford tried
to rise, but the panther wrath him in
the right eye, almost tearing the ball
from the socket. Crawford, although in
agony and half blinded, began to strike
the beast with his hunting knife. He
dealt it blow after blow, the fight taking
place over Curry's body. Finally the
knife reached the panther's heart, and
it dropped dead on the unnonsdous body
of Curry, Crawford was so exhausted
that he could not go for assistance, and
the mangled men lay there till they
were rammed by another party of hunters
and brought to Juno, Curry was found
to be frigbtfuily injured, and the physi-
cians say that a blow whioh the panther
dealt across the abdomen will likely
prove fatal. Crawford's principal injury
ie to his right eye, which will have to be
removed. Curry came to Juno from
Illinois and Crawford is from Pennsyl-
vania. The panther is the largest ever
killed on Lake Worth,

Looking at them closely it is not hard to be-
lieve that some of them might have been made by
ants, so very small their step and so crooked their
way ; excitable little creatures that with all their
flurry never seem to get anywhere in particular,
and whose whole interest seems to be that of turn-
ing aside from obstacles. Others again, in the
great length of their stride, remind one of, the
mighty jump of the kangaroo. They are evidently
getting somewhere, and on reflection it occurs to
the observer that these must be the tracks of those
shrewd merchants who 'got there' by jumping from
