| The people of Rich Hill, Mo-, and vicinity,
have recently been startled by seeming
miracle of healing. For years one of the
| ties has been Mark NJ Woodson, now post
master at Panama, and brother of ex-State
| Inspector of Mixes G. G. Woodson, of this
| city. The people of Rich Hill, where he
| formerly resided, and of his present home,
remember well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the emblance of man, which
has painfully bowed its head half to earth
and Iabored snail-like across the walks
season after season, and when one day last
month it Strengthened to its full height,
| threw away the heavy butt of cane which
| for years had been its only support from
| total helplessnes5, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatingly about the two cities, people
| looked and wondered. The story of the re-
markable case has become the marvel of the
| two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told
| it to Times reporter, it is here published:
"For ten years l have suffered the tor
ments of the damned and have been a use
| less invalid; to-day l am a well and hearty
man free from almost every touch of pain.
| don't think man ever suffered more acute
and constant agony than have since 1884.
| The rheumatism started then in my right
| knee and after weeks of suffering in bed
was at last relieved sufficiently to arise, but
| it was only to get about on crutches for five
years, the ailment having settled in the
| Joint Despite constant treatment of the
most eminent physicians the rheumatism
grew worse, and for the last four years l
have been compelled to go about bent half
| toward the ground. In the winter of 1S9O-
| 81, after the rheumatism had settled into its
- f1,, r 70 Ytyy
upon advice of my brother, and for six
weeks was treated in one of the largest
| and best known dispensaries of that city,
but without the slightest improvement.
| Before came home secured strong gall
! vanic battery, this used for months with
| the same result In August, 1892, I went
| 10 st. Louis, and there conferred with the
widely known DR.. Mudd of hospital prac-
| tice fame, and DIR. Kale of the city hospital.
None of them would take my case with any
! hope of affording me more than temporary
relief, and so I came home, weak, doubled
with pain, helpless and Respondent.
''About this time my attention was called
! TO the account of remarkable cure by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People of
locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and paral-
ysis L ordered some of the pills as an ex
pertinent. When I began to take them,
the rheumatism had developed into phase
of paralysis; my leg from the thigh down
was cold all the time and could not be kept
warm. In short time the pills were gone,
and so was the cane. was able to attend
to the duties of my Office, to get about as
! well and strong man. / was free from pain
and I could enjoy sound and restful
nights sleep, something 1 had not known
for ten years. To-day am practically, and,
firmly believe, permanently cured of my
terrible and agonizing ailment. No ma
gician of the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills did for me-"
To verify the story beyond all question of
doubt Mr.. Woodson made the following
affidavit:
