 Few men are held in higher esteem by their fellow-townspeople than James w Stout, of Riply, H., and it is due, no doubt l partly to this popularity that the record of the case has created such widespread inter- est. While his experience is not without an equal, yet it has been sufficiently remark able to demand the attention of thousands of people in Illinois, among whom are num- bered some of the most eminent physicians. In January, aa3 hr. Stont- yras.~stFic1.on with what was then believed to be seiatc rheumatism, and in a short time was barely | able to hobble around on crutches, and it seemed to his friends that his days were numbered. To-day he is strong hearty looking man for iUo puonds
 |. How this wonderful change was brought about is most interes ting as told to q repre- sentative of the Republican by Mir Stout himself:
 II was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism and umbago in January, 1993 The sciatic nerve on the right side became affected in the hip, running down to the ankle and across the small of the back to the left side, and soon my whole system became afflicted, causing me the most excrucating pain. In a very short time 1 become totally unable to attend to any business whatever, and the disease rapidly growing worse had to take to my bed, where lay suffering almost con- tinuously for months the most agonizing torture, scarcely being able to move or be moved. At one time lay for six weeks fiat on my back the slightest movement causing me such pain as almost to throw me into convulsiOns. cannot begin to express 10 you the intense pain suffered. was drawn, by the severeness of the malady, over to the left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for food, and what little did eat l could not di gest, the digestive organs failing to perform their duty, adding greatly to my already pre- earious condition. For weeks at d time 1 was unable to eat or sleep, suffering all the time most intensely and at times fearing would lose my reason and would have wei eomed death to relieve me of my sufTcrings.
 "I consulted with local physicians and some of the most eminent specialists Of the larger cities throughout the country, some treating me for one thing and some for an- other, but without effect, and l received no elief whatever. One physician told me had double curvature of the spine and would eventually become paralyzed spent hun dreds oi dollars in the short time I was afflicted without receiving the least benefit. My friends all thought that there was no hope for me whatever and said that 1 must die, and l, myself, had almost given up in despair, when, iu September, 1893, about eight months after was first afflicted, my attention was called to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People Without much hope, at onco sent to c, r. Hickey X Co, Drug gists, Mt. Sterling, H., and procured some of the pills and immediately began taking them. Before long became aware of great change for the better in my almost hopeless condition. My appetite came back and my digestive organs performed their usual functions properly. took some more and and my body began to straightcn out; con tiuued the treatment and In q short time was able to be about on crutches My recovery from that time on was very rapid and assured. My right leg, which before 1 commenced this treatment, was numb and dead, now expe- rienced a pricking, tingGng sensation. l was enabled to throw away my crutches and walk upright once more among my fel- lows, a better man physically than ever be- fore. When first taken by the disease 1 weighed l60 pounds, was reduced to lla; l now weigh l6i, more that l ever weighed at any time in my life. Yes sir, 1 lay my re- eovery entirely to Pink Pills"
