The Hon. John NJ Rice, of Louisa,
Lawrence county, Kentucky, has for
the past two years retired from active
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of
the sixteenth Judicial District of Ken
lucky.
He has for many years served his
native county and state in the legisla-
ture at Frankfort and at Washington,
and, until his retirement, was.a noted
figure in political and Judicial circles.
The Judge is well known throughout
the state and possesses the best quail
tiles which go to make Kentucky
gentleman honored wherever he is
known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his re-
tirement at time when his mental
faculties were in the zenith OF their
strength, began their encroachnent
upon his naturally strong constitution
A few days ago a Kentucky Post Re-
porter called upon Judge Rice, who in
the following words related the history
of the causes that led to his retirement
s.It is Just about six years since / had an
attack of rheumatism, slight at first, but
soon developing into Sciatic rheuma-
tism. which began first with acrte
shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
my condition became SO bad that l
eventually lost all power of my legs,
and then the liver, kidneys and bladder
and in fact, my whole system, became
dcranged. / tried the treatment of
many physicians, but receiving no last
ing benefit from them, had recourse
to patent remedies, trying one kind
after another until | believe there were
none | had not sampled.

there when / returned home. Ny liver
was actually dead, and a dull, persist
ent pain in its region kept me on the
rack all the time. In 1890 ! was re-
appointed Circuit Judge, but it was
impossible for me to give attention to
my duties. In 1891 | went to the

feeling no hopes of recovery. The
muscles of my limbs were now reduced
by atrophy to mere strings Sciatic
pains tortured me terribly, but it was
the disordered condition of my liver
that was | felt gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried with
out avail, and there was nothing more
for me to do but resign myself to fate.
II fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulents
until April, 1898. One day John saw
an account of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People in the Kentucky Post.
This was something new, and as one
more drug after SO many others could
not do so much harm. John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t was,
/ think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. / remember l was not
expected to live for more than three or
four days at the time. The effect of the
Pills. however, was marvellous and |

almost instantaneously to perform its
functions, and has done SO ever since
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while | do not crave notoriety l
cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes,
the Louisa druggist, who informed him
that DR. Williams Pink Pills have been
very popular since Judge Rice used
them with such benefit. He mentioned
several who have found relief in their
use.
An analysis of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they

elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
