Hearing Of this a reporter called on Mr..
Powell and asked him to relate his ex.
perience.
"The first time I really felt any rhcu.
matte trouble" Sid Mr.. Powell, "was in
1872. Atwiage of pain caught me, but passed
AWAY in an instant. i did not know what
it was. Aftertkat was attacked al various
periods, and in 1876 l began 10 grow
alarmed. In 1873 l suffered from sciatics
in the left leg.
"For number Of years afterwsrd con-
tinued 90 grow worse and worse. In the
summer of 1854 / experienced the pain CON-
SANITY Ii was all day and at all times. I
took the electric treatment steadily for sew.
eral weeks, but it did me not the slightest
good.
"A year ago last winter I was seized
with pain and for fourteen weeks | never
left the house. The only way in which
could be moved was by being wheeled
around in an easy chair. What I suffered
during that period no one but myself

of mine. and said lac could not say whether
Pink Pills would cure rheumatism or not,
but they were good for the blood anyway,
and at least it would do me no harm b Try
BALI dozen boxes.
$50 did; bought six boxes, took four
aud received no benefit that | could recog.
nize, but while taking the fifth | noticed
that for period of three or four DAYS I felt
no pain. Isupposcd il was a temporary re-
Taxation due to natural causes. However,
it gave me some hope TO finish the sixth box.
Then 1 knew i was getting better-much
better. The pain which had been constant
became intermittent and less severe. Ny
friends and family told me that / was begin.
ming TO look like another man. Ny face,
which had begun TO wear a drawn express
sion, common with people who are suffering,
commenced TO show better color. Ny sys.
tenn was being toned up. Inspired with in
creased hope / purchased six more boxes
from Dr. Mitchell, the druggist, and con-
tinued to take them, and with each box
realized more and more that il was q cure.
j used up thirteen boxes in all, and when
the thirteen Was finished had not svmp-
tom of pain for three months.
'Now," concluded Mr.. Powell, "yoc have
NV experience. / know what L was; I
know what am. i know that from boy

rheumatism, winch has been q torture the
last few years. l know that j have tried
every remedy and been treated by the best
medical skill, but il 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 thankful" "
