The Rural New-Yorker, New York. 
Wounded and 
Paralyzed. 
AN OLD VETERAN OF THE WAR AFTER 
YEARS OF SUFFERING HAS A 
SHOCK OF PARALYSIS. 
From the Press , Utica, N. Y. 
Mr. David G. Talbot is a well-known and 
respected citizen of Otsego County, New 
York, residing- at Edmeston, who three 
years ago had a stroke of paralysis, 
which he attributes to the effects of a 
wound received on the 16th of June, 1864, 
before Petersburg, Va., while serving 
with the New York Heavy Artillery. 
The following is his own account of 
his illness and convalescence, which will 
be found interesting : 
Edmeston, N. Y., Aug. 31, 1896. 
“ On the fifth day of December, 1893,1 was taken 
with a paralytic shock, which affected the whole 
of the left side, and I could not speak for three 
weeks. I was confined to my bed for a long time 
and constantly attended by a physician, though 
little relief was experienced. My stomach and 
the muscles of my throat were much affected. I 
was wounded in June, 1864, at Petersburg, Va., 
having then lost three fingers of my left hand, 
and that always affected me in a marked degree, 
my arm often becoming numb. I should state 
that on the day I received the stroke, I had two 
distinct shocks, the first in the morning, which 
was so light that the doctor was not at all 
alarmed, but the second nearly finished me up. 
Ever since the war I had suffered with nervous 
debility and my condition was very bad when I 
was attacked. I am now sixty years old and 
hardly dared look for anything approaching 
good health after my life of suffering, but I saw 
so much said about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for 
Pale People in the newspapers, and that they 
were good for paralytics, that I determined to 
try them. This I did just one year and four 
months ago. I strictly followed directions and 
felt better within a week. I am not the same 
man I was when I began to take Dr. Williams’ 
medicine. My old comrade Norton, who was in 
the same company and regiment with me, and 
was a grievous sufferer from general nervous 
debility, at my recommendation has taken Dr. 
Williams’ Pink Pills and they have helped him 
wonderfully. 
“ I certify on honor that the above statement is 
true in every particular. 
(Signed), David C. Talbot.” 
Witness, John C. Lappeus. 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a 
condensed form, all the elements neces¬ 
sary to give new life and richness to 
the blood and restore shattered nerves. 
They are also a specific for troubles 
peculiar to females, such as suppressions, 
irregularities and all forms of weakness. 
They build up the blood, and restore the 
glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. 
In men they effect a radical cure in all 
cases arising from mental worry, over¬ 
work or excesses of whatever nature. 
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in 
loose hulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes 
for $2.50, and may he had of all druggists, 
or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Med¬ 
icine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.— Adv.
