this year what I raised last season from the tuber 
sent me of the Carman No. 3, hut it did not do as 
well as the No. 1 did the first year. o t. n. 
Orange County, Vt. 
You ask in The R. N.-Y. of April 10, How many 
have drawn a prize with the Gandy strawberry ? 
Not I. 
It doesn’t bear worth a cent here. f. m. 
Sullivan County, N. Y. 
I have a fine stand of Crimson clover on south 
lying land, while on the ground facing north in 
the same field, most of it died ; this suggests that 
it may pay us to sow it on sheltered ground when 
it will not, on ground that is exposed too much 
to the cold winds. I think, however, that we get 
more than the cost of the seed back, even though 
the clover all dies in the winter. The roots of the 
clover make the ground richer, mellower, and 
thus insure a large crop. Wheat is looking liner 
than it has for many years. m. e. s. 
Harford County, Md. 
I am making potato growing a specialty, and 
am doing very well despite the low prices. Wheat 
is starting nicely where sowed early on sandy 
land; late sowing on clay land was badly frozen 
out. Farmers are sowing oats and planting early 
potatoes; the usual amount of the latter will be 
planted. Clover is in fine condition. Farmers 
are busy sowing, and planting early potatoes. 
Some potato growers are discouraged and will 
not plant quite so heavily this season. M. o. w.

HIS LEGS SUDDENLY CAVE OUT. 
Thomas P. Bigg, of Cleveland, Stricken as He was Preparing 
for a Visit to Friends. 
From the Leader, 
Of the list of the many so-called incurable dis¬ 
orders none has proved to be more of an enigma 
to the most learned and accomplished physicians 
than locomotor ataxia, or as it is more commonly 
known, creeping paralysis. This dread disease 
has baffled their skill, and they have been forced 
to admit that they cannot successfully cope with 
it. All they have been able to do is to mitigate 
the accompanying pain and suffering; beyond 
this the science of medicine has been of little or 
no avail to the many unfortunates who have con¬ 
tracted the dreadful malady, which, many peo¬ 
ple, especially those who are thus afflicted, believe 
is a forerunner of the grim messenger of death. 
Thomas P. Bigg, who lives at No. 1073 St. Clair 
Street, corner of Lawrence Street, Cleveland, O., 
has been suffering from locomotor ataxia for 
nearly five years, and nothing but his wonderful 
vitality has prevented bis dissolution long before 
this. 
The malady is directly attributable to his ex¬ 
posure during army life. He enlisted in the 
Third Regiment Ohio Cavalry in Toledo, and 
served 19 months in the volunteer service, and 
after the close of the rebellion, 18 months In 
the regular army. “At first,” he said in narrat¬ 
ing his experience, “my stomach went back on 
me, and for six weeks I was laid up in a hospital 
in Texas. Ever since that time that organ 
has caused me trouble, anil about seven years 
ago the doctor told me I was suffering from acute 
indigestion. That was bad enough, but four 
years ago last July paralysis came on, and I 
have been using these crutches ever since. The 
paralysis was in my legs, and it came rather 
suddenly. I noticed at first that my knees were 
a little stiff, a sort of rheumatic pain, you know. 
This quickly developed into paralysis. 
“I tried all kinds of remedies, and I tried phy¬ 
sicians, but I did not improve. All this time, 
though, I was holding my own—wasn’t getting 
Cleveland, Ohio. 
any worse. A short time ago I was induced to 
try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I did not expect this 
last venture would prove any more beneficial than 
all the others which preceded It. But I am pleased 
to say I was most agreeably disappointed. Dr. 
Williams’ Pills are simply wonderful. I began to 
use them two months ago. My legs then were 
perfectly numb and cold—nothing could warm 
them. After suffering with paralysis for more 
than four years, I now experience a comforting 
feeling of warmth in my lower limbs. I tell you 
I feel like shouting when I think of escaping from 
my bondage, and my mind is on the subject pretty 
much of the time. I intend to continue the use of 
the pills until my legs are as good and useful as 
they were in their best days, and I feel that will 
be soon. 
“ What effect hare the pills had upon your 
stomach ? ” Mr. Bigg was asked. “ As regards 
that,” said he, “you can readily believe that a 
stomaeh which has been seriousiy out of order 
for 35 years is in bad shape. Nothing used to 
stay on my stomaeh, and I was subject to violent 
fits of hiccoughing. Then I would have to take 
an opiate to get to sleep. But now I find that food 
stays on my stomach, though I do not suppose 
that organ will ever be in first-class shape again. 
Still I am satisfied to think that it is improved to 
such a degree, and that I can eat with a feeling 
of ease.” 
For six years until a month ago, October, 1890, 
Mr. Bigg kept a stationery and confectionery 
store at 347 East Madison Avenue, directly oppo¬ 
site the Madison Avenue School. He Hold out his 
business, and can now be found at any time at 
No. 1073 St. Clair Street. 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, 
or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, 50 
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never 
sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr.
