From the LOndon( Ont. } Aduertiser.)
At 33 Alma Street, South London,
lives f. 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 its worst
form, but now the haggard face and al
most crippled form of year ago have
given away to an appearance of health
and vigor.
Hearing of this areporter called on Mr..
Powell and asked him to relate his expe-
rence
"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. did not
know what it was. After that | was at
tackled at various periods, and in 1876 l
began to grow alarmed, In 1878 l suf-
fered from sciatica in the left leg.
"For number of years afterward |
continued to grow worse and worse. In
the summer of 1884 | experienced the
pain constantly. 1t was all day and at all
times. l took the electric treatment
steadily for several weeks, but it did me
not the slightest good.
ga year ago last winter | 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
suffered during that period no one but
myself can ever realize. Mr.. Marshall,
of whose case you have heard, is an ac-
quaintanee of mine, and said he could not
say whether Pink Pills would cure rheu-
matism 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 | could rec
ognize, but while taking the fifth noticed
that for period of three or four days |
felt no pain, | supposed it was a tempo
rary relaxation due to natural causes
However, it gave me some hope to finish
the sixth box. Then ! knew | was get
ting better-much better. The pain which
had been constant became intermittent
and less severe. My friends and family
told me that | was beginning to look like
another man. My face, which had begun
to wear draw expression, common with
people who are suffering, commenced to
show better color. My system was be-
ing toned up. Inspired with increased
hope purchased six more boxes from
DR.. Mitchell, the druggist, and continued
to take them, and with each box | realized
more and more that it was a cure. / used
up thirteen boxes in all, and when the
thirteen was finished had not symp.
tom of pain for three months.
"Now," concluded Mr.. Powell, "you
have my experience. .know what
was; | know what l am. l know that
from boyhood have been victim of
malignant rheumatism, which has been a
torture the last few years. / know that
! have tried every remedy and been treat
ed by the best medical skill, but in vain
and know that Pink Pills have succeed
ed where everything else has failed ant
that they have brought me back healtl
and happiness. Therefore l ought to be
, thankful, and am thankful" And Mr.
Powell's intense earnestness of manner
, could admit of no doubt as to his graft
tude and sincerity. "You may ask Rev
Mr.. Mcintyre, of the Askin Street Meth
odist Church, or Rev. G. A. Andrews, B
A., pastor of the Lambeth circuit, wheth
er | was sick man or not" were his
, parting words.
The reporter dropped in on Rev. c. f
/ Mcintyre at the parsonage, SO Askil
street. 81 know Mr.. Powell WE'LL" salt

4 which laid him up for long time. II
! had to be wheeled around the house in
