ANOTHER N. ]. MIRACLE.
A STORY FROM new JERSEY WHICH.
WILL INTEREST EVERY one.
A Man Who WAS Cured of Rheuma-
tism and Paralysis After suffer.
ing for Tw~enty-Six Years.

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
A very interesting story comes from
Cape May G. H.. NJ. The chief char
acter in the story Is John l.. Steel. who
has lived in that town for thirty years,
and is one OF the best known men in
Cape May county. To a reporter Mr..
Steel said: Certainly, Pll you the
story. l am "a year old and was first
attacked with the rheumatism twenty
six years ago. l suffered all that
mortal man could stand. The medi-
cine and the dOctorlng l have had has
cost me at the very least 81, 500, but.
they were all like SO much waterin my
case.
zone day, In 1882, 1 was taken with a
chill up and down the back. my leg
gave out at the knee and | fell like a
log. Never shall / forget the agony |
suffered. l thought l would 20 crazy.
l could not walk, and my legs were all
drawn up at the knee and felt as If
dead. IL was without feeling and with
out power. l called IN DR.. Alexander
Young. one of our town physicians. He
cupped and bllstered me without sue
cess. | went to DR.. Downs. a physician
leg and pulled 1t out straight, then he
laid it over the arm of the sofa OF which
l was reclining, and from it suspend
ed two bricks. The pain was almost
unbearable. The battery was applied,
and the result was that ] was just as
bad as ever. AS a last esource L went
to the late DR.. PancOaSt, then of Jeffer-
son College. He pronounced my case
chronic rheumatism, and said that he
could relieve the pain but could not
cure me. He gave me s~arsaparilla and
idodide of potassium. of which l had
already taken a quantity. 1 felt that |
was going from bad to worse. The pains
were growing more intense, by body
was growing weaker and ] had 10 crawl
Zip stairs on my hands and knees. l
was as white as a sheet, and at times
nearly frozen to death. l slept under
enough covering to crush me, and was
cold then. l had to lift my leg around
wherever l wanted it. but at night it
would twitch and jerk as though pos
Sessed by some tiendish power.
"Well, to IL a long story short, |
read in the Philadelphia Record of a
man who had been cured by DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The
count. and with a ray of hope | sent for
two boxes of Pink Fills. This was
about six months ago. AS SOC as l
began to take them they began to do
me good. felt as though l had been
given fresh blood and new muscles.
When the two boxes were finished |
sent for six MORE, and under this treat
ment continued to improve. | began to
regain the use of my limbs and L could
soon get around with the aid OF a crutch
and cane Now L have discarded the
crutch. l have an excellent appetite
and feel first-clasS all over.
GsNrbu DipE piilc have DOM moro for
me than all the rest of the medicine and
doctors put together, and my recovery is
due solely to them. l have taken in all
twenty boxes of Pink Pills and you can
see for yourself what they have &C
complished."
Suiting the action to the words Mr..
Steel placed his cane over his shoulder
and walked off like a man who had
never had an hours sickness in his life.
Some IDEA of the Severity of his case can
be had from the fact that his left leg has
been shortened nearly all inch by the
ravages of the disease. The following
affidavit was made before John Spal-s
ding, Justice OF the Peace, who. has
known MIR. Steel during his entire ill.,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a pat
ent medicine in the sense that name i'm
plies. They were first compounded as
a prescription, and used as such in gen.
eral practice by an eminent physician.
So great was their efficacy that it was
deemed wise to place them within the
reach of all. They are now anu
featured by the DIR. Williams Medicine
Cnmnanv Schenectady N. v. and
B%rockville, Ont, and are sold in boxes
(never in loose form by the dozen or
hundred, and the public are cautioned
against numerous limitations sold in
this shape at so cents a box, or six boxes
for So 80, and may be had of all drug
gists or direct by mail from DIR. Will
ians' Medicine Co. from either address.
The price at which these pills are sold
makes a course of treatment inexpensive
as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment.
