The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1883, says:— At one of the , “ Windows ” Looking on the woodland ways ! With clumps of rhododendrons and groat masses of May blossoms !!! “ There was an interesting group.” It included one who had been a ‘‘ Cotton spinner,” bat was now so Paralysed ! !! That he could only bear to lie in a reclining position This refers to my case. I was first attacked twelve years ago with “ Looomoter Ataxy ” (A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured) and was for several years barely ab'e to get about, j And for the last five years not able to attend to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Home for Incurables ! near Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ” ; “ For anything in the shape of patent " Medicines ? And made many objections to my dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented ! ! I had not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd, On Sunday morning I felt sj strong I said to my room companions, “ 1 was sure I could “ Walk !’’ So started across the floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house. I am gaining strength each day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick!” Or Support. I am now at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester “ Royal Exchange ” For nearly thirty years, and was most heartily congratulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Beackbubn.
