miracle. Chas. +. Struble, a well-known
and prosperous farmer, living on Home
stead Farm, in Frankford Township, a
few miles from Branchville. is just now
the chief subject of discussion through
out Sussex County.
The Press is always up to date in it's
news, both political or medical, and has
procured the following from Mr. Struble's
own lips:
II have been troubled with rheumatism

| kinds OF medicines and treatment.

N. j., Newton, N. j., and in New York
City with doctor who charged me $3.50

Rockaway, Morris Co., N. Y. ! have
tried many doctors. None Of them did
me any permanent good. / used all kinds
Of liniments l could hear of but without
avail.
"About two years ago l was taken
much worse and my doctor said had
locomotor ataxia Of the spine, and that
tho chances were against me. After
treating for a time, he finally gave me
up and said he had done all he could for
me.
"The cords OF my limbs were drawn
tight as the cords on a kettle drum, and
l had such cramps in my limbs that /
suffered terrible pain. My feet were
cold all the time. l had to use a hot
water bag and heated bricks to my feet,
but even then could not get any relief.

legs began to let up my feet began to

and in one month l had gained six
pounds. The numbness In my limbs be-
gan to leave me too, and to-day feel

In order to emphasize his story, Mr..

Justice Coss evidenced his interest
and good feeling by the following certi-
ficate:
hereby certify that all that Mr.. Stru-
BILE says regarding his rheumatic and
other troubles believe to be true and
correct.
IRA Coss, Justice OF the Peace.
On the farm with Mr.. Struble live his
two adult sisters. Miss Annie M. Stru-
BILE made the following statement:
CDR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have done wonderful things for
my brother. He was In helpless con-
dition when left him on Jan. 18th, last,
and when / returned on March 25th,
found him cured. The most remarkable
thing about the case," she continued, els
the curing of his lameness. OF course
/ wanted to know all about the causes
of such wonderful change, and
learned from him and my sister and
others, that during my absence he had
been using the Pink Pills, and that his
recovery was attributed solely to them"
Miss Mary e. Struble said, 81 saw
my brother In all the stages Of the
disease. He began improving as soon as
he began taking the Pink Pills. When
my sister went away In January he was
apparently at deaths door and nobody
seemed to have any hope for him. He
certainly had little or none for himself,
and he was very respondent In spite Of
all efforts to cheer him. He declared
