The Hon. John NJ. Rice, of Louisa, Law
renee County, Kentucky, has for the past
two years retired from active life as Grim
inal and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth Judi
cial District Of Kentucky.
He has for many years served his native
county and state in the legislature at Frank
fort and at Washington, and, until his retire
raent was a noted figure in political and
Judicial circles. The Judge is well known
throughout the state and possesses the best
uuaiites which 90 to make Kentucky gen
tlerian honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily troubles
which finally caused his retirement at
time when his mental faculties were in the
zenith of their strength, began their en-
c-uachment upon his naturally strong con-
stitution A few days ago a Kentucky Post
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the
following words related the history of the
causes that led 20 his retirement. 1T is
lust about six years since l had an attack
of rheumatism, slight at first, but soon de-
veloping into Sciatic rheumatism. which
began first with acute shooting pains in the
bins, gradually extending downward TO my
feet
my condition became so bad that even
tually lost ali power of my legs. and then
the liver. kidneys and bladder and in fact,
ny whole system, became deranged- tried
the treatment of many physicians, but re
ceiving no lasting benefit from them, had
recourse to patent remedies. trying one kind
afteranother until believe there were none
had not sampled.
'Tn ISIS, attended by NY son John, I
went to Hot Springs, Ark. l was not much
benefited by some months stay there when
1 returned home. Ny liver was actually
dead. and dull persistent pain in its region
kept me on the rack all the time. In 1870 /
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was
impossible for me to give attention to my
duties. In 1891. | went to the Siluriaa
Springs. Waukesha, Wis I stayed there
some time, but without Improvement
again l returned home, this time 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 nv
liver that was felt gradually wearing nv
lie away. Doctors gave me up. all kinds of
remedies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to Go but re-
sign myself to fate.
Il fingered on in this condition sustained
almost entirely by stimulants until April.
1875. One day John saw an account OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
In the Kentucky Post This was something
lew. 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. l remember was not ex-
pected TO live for more than three or four
DAYS at the time. The effect of the Pills,
however, was marvellous and 1 could soon
eat heartily. a thing had not done for years.
The liver began almost instantaneously to
perform its functions. and has done sc ever
since Without doubt the pills saved my
life and while I do not crave notoriety
cannot refuse to testify to their worth
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes. the
Louisa druggist, who informed him that
DIR. 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.
