(From the London ont, Advertiser.

tfrom the London (Ont.,) Advertiser.)
At33 Alma Street, South London. lives
Mr.. E. j. Powell, a gentleman who has
resided in London and vicinity for about
SIX years. He has been sufferer since
his youth with rheumatism in its worst
form, but now the haggard face and al
most crippled form of year ago hive
given away to an appearance OF health
and vigor.
Hearing of this reporter called on
Mr. Powell and asked him to relate his
experience.
The. first time really felt any rheu-
matte trouble" said Mr.. Powell, twas in
1872 A.twinge of pain caught me, but
passed away in an instant. / did not
know what it was. After that was at
tackled at various periods, and in 1876
L began to grow alarmed. In 1878 suf-
tered from sciatica in the left leg.
For number of years afterward l
continued to grow worse and worse. In
the summer of 1884 l experienced the
pain continually. 1t was all day and at
all times. | took the electric treatment
steadily for several weeks, but it did nae
not the slightest good
"A year ago last winter | was seized
with pain and for fourteen weeks I
never left the house. The only way in
Which 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 mine, 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 it
would do me no harm to try half dozen
! boxes
$50 did; bought six boxes, took four
and received no benefit that l could
recognize, but while taking the fifth I
noticed that-for period of three or four
days l felt no pain. l supposed it was
temporary relaxation due to natural
causes. However, it gave me some hope
to finish the sixth box. Then knew I
was getting better-much better The
pain which had been constant became
and family told me that was beginning
to look like another man. My face,
which had begun to wear drawn ex-
preston, common with people who are
suffering, commenced to show a better
color Ny system was being toned up.
Inspired with increased hope purchas-
ed six more boxes from DR.. Mitchell, the
druggist, and commenced to take them,
and with each box l realized more and
more that it was q cure | used up
thirteen boxes in all, and when the
thiDteen was finished had not a symp--
tom of pain for three months.
Now concluded Mr.. Powell, 'you
| know what.I am. | know that from
bDyhood have, been a victim of malig>
nant rheumatism, which has been n tor
ture the last few years. l know that l
have tried every remedy and been treat
ed by the best medical skill, but in vain;
and know that Pink Pills have sue
ceeded where everything else has failed
and that they have brought me back
health and happiness. Therefore ought
to be thankful, and am thankful" And
Mr.. Powelrs intense earnestness of man
ner could admit of no doubt as to his
gratitude and sincerity. You may ask
Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre, Of the Askin Street
Methodist Church, or Rev. g. A. An
drews, b. A, pastor of the Lambeth cir,
cult whether was sick man or not,n
were his parting words.
The reporter dropped in on Rev. C. E.
Mcintyre at the parsonage, 80 Askin
street. II know MIR. Powell well, said
| the reverend gentleman when question
ed. ''He is an esteemed parishoner of
mine and is attending the Askin Street
| Church again. do you remember Mr..
| Powell's illness a year ago last winter p"
eye s; he had very bad attack of rheu-
matism which laid him up for long
time. He had to be wheeled around the
house in a chair. Now he appears to be
a well man. l heard he had been cured
| by DR.. Williams Pink Pills Mr.. Powell
is, in my opfniOn,-a most conscientious
person, and any statement he would
make would be perfectly reliable.n
| Mr. b. A Mitchell, the well-known
druggist, upon whom the reporter next
celed, said :. II know of Mr.. Powell's
cure and it is every word true. have
sold thousands of boxes of Pink Pills
and knowing that they always give sat
isfaction have no hesitation in recon-
| mending them as a perfect blood builder

nervous headache, nervous prostration
and the tired feeling therefrom, the eff
fects of la grippe, diseases depending
