(From the Phtladelphia Record.l

(Frsm the Philadelphia Record)
A very interesting story comes from Cape
May G. H., N. j. The chief character in
this 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 reporter Mr. Steele said: Certainly
I'll tell you the story. l am 81 years old
and was first attacked with the rheumatism
twenty-six years ago. / suffered all that
mortal man could stand The medicine
and thesdoctOring / have had has cost me at
the very least 81, 500. but they were all like
so much water in my case.
Zone day in 1882 | was taken with a
chill up and down the back. my leg gave
out at the knee and fell like log Never
shall l forget the agony / suffered.
thought i would go crazy. | could not
walk and my legs were all drawn up at the
knee and felt as if dead. 1t was without
feeling and without power. L called in DR..
Alexander Young one of our town physi-
clans. He cupped and bistered me without
success. went to DIR. Downs, a physician
of the old school. DIR. Downs took my leg
and pulled it out straight, then he laid it
over the arm of the sofa on which he was
reclining and from it suspended two bricks.
The pain was almost unbearable. The bat

was just as bad as ever. As last resource
went to the late DR.. PancO st then of JEFF
fersOn College. He pronounced my case
chronic rheumatism and said he could re-
lieve the pain but could not cure me. He
gave me sarsaparila and lodide of potassium
OF which had already taken quantity.

The pains were growing more intense, my

frozen to death. l slep' under enough COW
ering to crush me and was cold then. had
to lift my leg around wherever | wanted
1t, but at night it would twitch and Jerk as
though possessed by some fendlsh power
Well, to cut long story short read in
the Philadelphia Record of man who had
been cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. The story appeared to be an
authentic account and with ray of hope /
sent for two boxes Of Pink Pills. This was
about six months ago. AS soon as began
to take them they began to do me good. l
felt as though had been given fresh blood
and new muscles. When the two boxes
were finished sent forsix more and under
this treatment continued To improve. be-
gan to regain the use of my limbs and |
crutch and cane. Now have discarded the
crutch. have an excellent appetite and
feel firstrclass all over
s'Why Pink Pills have done more for me
than all the rest of the medicine and doctors
put together and my recovery is due solely
to them. have taken i'm all twenty boxes
of Pink Pills and you can see for yourself
what they have accomplished"
Suiting the action to the words Mr. Steel
placed his cane over his shoulder and walk
ed off like 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 an inch by the ravages of the disease.
The following affidavit was made before
John Spalding, Justice of the Peace. who
has known Mr.. Steel during his entire i'll
ness.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this
Goth day Of May. A. d., 1893.
JOHN SPALDING,
Justice of the Peace.
