From the London, OHt. A0Cefef.J
At 80 Alma street. South LONDON
lives Mr.. E, }. Powell, gentleman
who has resided in London and vicinl
ty for about six years. He has been a
sufferer since his youth with rheuma'
tiSm 10 its worst form, but now the
haggard face and almost crippled form
of year ago have given way 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 l ever felt any
rheumatic trouble, said Mr.. Powell.

me, but passed away in an Instant.
| did not know what ii was. After
that | was attacked at various periods
and in 1876 began TO grow alarmed
In 1878 1 suffered from sciatlca In the
left leg.
"For a number of years afterward l
continued to grow worse and worse.
In the summer of 1884 | experienced
the pain constantly. Ii was all day
and at all times. | took the electric
treatment steadily for several weeks,
but it did me not the slightest good.
"a year ago last winter | was seized
with pain and for fourteen weeks l
never lett the house. The only way
in which | could be moved was by be-
ing wheeled around in an easy cnalr.
What suffered during that period no
one but myself can ever realize. Mr..
Marshall, of whose case you have
heard, is an acquaintance 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 l noticed that for a period OF
three or four days l felt no pain l
supposed it was temporary relaXa-
tiOn due to natural causes. However,
it gave me some hope to finish the
sixth box. Then knew l was getting
better-much better. The pain which
had been constant become intermlt-
tent and less severe. My friends and
family told me that | was beginning
to look like another man. My face.
which had begun to wear a drawn eX
preston, common with people who
are suffering, commenced to show a
better color. My system was being
toned up. Inspired with increased
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 it
was cure. / used up thirteen boxes
in all, and when tie thirteen was fin
ished | had not symptom of pain for
three months.
"Now, concluded MIR. Powell, you
have my experience. l know what l
was. | know what | am. | know that
from boyhood [ haYe 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
SILL but in vain, and L know that
Pink Pills have succeeded where every
thing else has failed and that they
have brought me back to health and
happiness. Therefore | ought 10 be
tina kful, and | am thankful" And
Mr.. Powell's intense earnestneSS of
manner 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. Andrews, B. A, pastor Of
the Lambeth circuit, whether l was
sick man or not" were his parting
words.
