A MIRACLE IN VERMONT. v THE WONDBIIVOI, EXPEKIBNCK A WELL KNOWN CHELSEA WAN. BCrlcken with nn Incurable Dlaeaae and yet Cared. ITia Personal State* ment in Detail. (From Out Argus and Patriot, Afontpelier, VI.) This is an age of progress and everything thnt hails the ndvance of new ideas for the fjood of humanity ig hailed with delight. It is the province of newspapers to watch for strange events or phenomena of any kind •nd to immediately investigate a reported ease out of tho line of regular community happenings. Bo when tho story of Mr. Georgo Hutchinson, of Chelsea, Vt. f and how he had been raised from a bed whore he lay stricken with a supposedly incurable dis ease was told, the Argus and Patriot de tailed a roporter to look up tho reported facts of tho cose, to whom Mr. Hutchinson mndo the following statement. "I am a native of Massachusetts, a wood worker by trade, and forty years of ngo, and for the past fifteen years have been working In various sawmills in Vermont and Massa chusetts. Bight years ago I moved from Brndfof J to Chelsea and bought tho sawmill of which lam now proprietor. 1 was in per* feet health and known throughout Chelsoh and vicinity as one of tho strongest men or my weight in that section. December lOtb, 1892,1 wus hurt by a pieeo of flying board as I was at work in the mill. After thut, I be* gnn slowly to lose my strongth and became incapacitated for work or offort of anv kind. The seat of my trouble seemed to be my back, but it gradually extended downward. I consulted all tho local physicians and wnd treated by two of them, but the medieinee they administered were not of the slightest avail and did not check the disease in the least. In fact, I was a miserable victim of locomotor ataxia and was conscious of a steady advance of tho insidious disease. My back ached continually and my Jogs began to grow numb und to be less and less usable. By tho 15th of April I could absolutely do nothing and was scraoely able to stand. My physicians advised mo to go to the Mary Fletcher Hospital, at Burlington, to be treated, and I took their advice When I left homo my friends bade me good-bye, never expecting to see mo alive again. The physicians at the hospital told mo thnt my case was a serious one, and I was complete ly discouraged I remained at the hospital seven weeks and took the medicines whiob the doctors gave me. I felt better at tho hos pital and thought that I was recovering, nnd went homo to continue their treatment, which I did for two months, and nlso had an electric battery under their advice. The im provement. however, did not continue, and I began to give up hope. August Ist, 18 alone. About this time I chanced to rend an account of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People in cases similar to my own. I did not have any faith in the Pills, but thought a trial could do no harm, so 5 I bought some without telling anyone what I ' was going to do. After I had been taking them some time I surprised myself by get ting out of my chair without assistance, and found that, lor the first time in months, I was able to walk down to the post office, and mv neighbors began to discuss the marked improvement in my health. As I continued the medicine I continued to improve, and soon rocotmnenced work in the mill, at first very lightly, and increasing as I was able nnd as I gained in health and spirits, and now for tho past throe months I have been working ten hours per day almost nn stead ily as I ever did. I feel well, ent well and sleep ns well ns I over did, and I have no pain anywhere." The reporter talked with several otlmr gentleman in regard to tho case of Mr. Hutchinson, who is a well known citizen of Chelsea and a Justice of the Peace, and they corroborated his statements as far as thoy were familiar with the case and stated that he was known to be a reliable man, and any statement lie might tnuko would bo entitled to entire credence. An analysis of Dr. Williams* Pink rills shows that they are an unfailing spool fie for such diseases as locomotor ataxin, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the af ter effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complex ons, nil forms of weakness either in mule or female.

All through out southern Arizona and northern Mexico Old Victorlo continued his raids until the settlers finally gave ,ip in despair. The government troops appeared to be utterly power loss In the matter. "Why, that band of red skins would sometimes plunder a wagon train right under tho noses of the troopers, and by the time the latter were mounted and ready to start in pur suit, they would be out of sight. The next day, perhaps, the tv.res would tell of some, fresh depredation com mitted by the same band In a section of the country over 100 miles away. "This old war dog, however, was Anally rounded up and shot. He died in the saddle, fighting to the last, and his hand, what was left of It, dispersed. Of course the settlors heard of It and were delighted. Dh may followed, however, when Co chise took the field. This Indian ran things pretty much the same way for live years, and then came old Geronimo. "The Indians of the Northwest are much moro numerous and better armed.
