The Portland daily press., 1893-11-18


At SO Alma Street, South London, lives
Mr.. J. Powell, gentleman who has
resided in London and vicinity for about
six years. He has been a sufferer since
his YOUTH with rheumatism in it's worst
form, but now theshaggard face and al
most crippled form of a year ago have
given aaaway. to an appearance of health
Hearing of this a reporter called on
Mr.. Powell and asked him to relate mis-
experience.
THE first time / really felt any rheu-
matte trouble said Mr.. Powell, was in
1872. A twinge of pain caught me, but
passed away in an instant. I did not
know what it was. After that was at
tackled at various periods, and in 1876
began to grow alarmed. In 1870 L
suffered from sciatica in the left leg.,
"For number OF. years afterward
continued to grow worse and worse. In
the summer of 1854 experienced the
pain constantly. 1t was all day and
at all times. / took the electric treat
ment steadily for several weeks, but 1t
did me not the slightest good.
"a year ago last winter l was seized
with a pain, and for fourteen weeks l
never left the house. The only way Ill
which I could be moved was by being
wheeled around in an easy chair. What
l suffered during that period no one but
myself can ever realize. Mr.. Marshall.
of whose case you. have heard, is an ac-
quaintance of NINE, and said he could
not say whether Pink Pills would cure
rheumatism or not, but they. were good
for the blood anyway, and at least 1T
would do me no harm to try half dozen
boxes.
$50 did; 1 bought six boxes, took
four and received no benefit that I could
recognize, but while taking the fifth l
noticed that for period OF three or four
days felt no pain. supposed it was
a temporary relaxation due to natural
causes. However, it gave me some hope
to finish the sixth box. Then | knew
was getting better much better. The
pain which had been constant became
intermittent and less severe. My friends
and Sanity told me that i was begin
ing 30 look like another man. My face,
which had. begun to wear drawn ex-
preston, common with people who are
suffering, commenced to show better
color. My system was being toned up.
Inspired with increased hope | pur-
chased six more boxes from DR.. Mitchell,
the druggist, and continued to take
them, and with each box l realized more
and more that it was a cure. used
up thirteen boxes in all, and when the
thirteen was finished I had not symp-
tom of pain for three months.
( "Now,n concluded Mr.. Powell, you
have my experience. l know what |
was; I know what am. l know, that
from boyhood / have been victim of
malignant rheumatism which has been
torture the last few years. ] know that
have tried every remedy and been
treated by the best medical skill, but in
vain; and know that Pink Pills have
succeeded where everything else has
failed and that they have brought me
back health and happiness; Therefore
! ought to be thankful. and am thank
fnl" And Mr.. Powell's intense earnest
ness of manner could admit of no doubt
as to his gratitude and sincerity, You
may TASK Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre, Sof the
Askin Street Methodist Church, or Rev.
GA: Andrews, B. Az, pastor of the
Lambeth circuit, whether was a sick
man or not,o were his parting words
The reporter dropped in on Rev.C. E.
Mcintyre at the parsonage, 50 Askin
street. Il know Mr.. Powell, welln saidthe
reverend gentleman when questioned.
He is an esteemed parishioner of mine
and is attending the Askin Street Church
again. Do you remember Nh. PowelPs
illness year ago last winter" yes;
he had very bad attack of rheumatism
whichslai him up for long time. He
had to be wheeled around the house in
chair. Now he appears to be well man.
/ heard he had been cured by DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. Mr.. Powell is, in
my opinion, mostsconscientious person,
and any statement he would make would
be perfectly reliable.a ~
Mr.. B.A. Mitchell, the well known
druggist, upon whom the reporter next
called, said: 81 know of Mr.. Powell's
cure and it is every word true. l have sold
thousands of boxes of Pink Pills, and
knowing that they always give satisfac-
ton have no hesitation in recommending
them as perfect. blood builder and nerve
restorer, curing such diseases as rkeu-
matism, neuralgia, partial paralysis,
: locomotor ataxia, st. Witus' dance, nerv-
Gus headache, nervous prostration and
the tired feeling theretrom, the after
effects of la grippe, diseases depending
on humors in the. blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give
healthy glow to pale and sallow COM
plexions, and are a specific Tor the troub-
les peculiar to the female system. and in
men they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excuses of whatever nature"
These Pills are manufactured by the
DR.. Williams Medicine Company,

Ont, and are sold only in boxes bearing
their trade mark and wrapper. at so
cents a, box, or six boxes for 50. So and
