rrrom the Mt, Sterling Qll) Republican,
 E,y men are held in higher esteem by
 Choir fcllow-townspeople than James w.

 est While his experience is not without
 or poual, vet it has been sufficiently remark
 oblp to demand the attention of thousands
 ofpcopIo in Illinois, among whom are num-
 bcrrd some of the most eminent physicians.
 In January, 1893, Mir. Stout was stricken
 with what was then believed to be sciatic rhpumatism, and in short time was barely ohle Co hobble around on crutches, and it seamcd to his friends that his days were numbered To-day he is strong, hearty Iooking man for lG0 puonds
 How this wonderful change was brought ab1ut is most interesting us told to repre- sentative of the Republican by Mir. Stout himself;
 "I was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism and lumbagO in January, 1893. The sciatic nerve on the right side became affected in the hip, running down to the ankle and across the small of the back to the left side, and soon my whole system became afflicted, causing me the most eXcruciating pain In avery short time become totally unable to attend to any business whatever, and the disease rapidly growing worse had to take 10 my bed, where lay suffering almost con- tinuously for months the most agonizing torture, scarcely being able to move or be moved At one time lay for six weeks fiat on my back, the slightest movement causing me such pain as almost to throw me into conyuIsions. cannot begin to express to you the intense pain suffered. l was drawn, by the severeness of the malady, over to the left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for food, and what little 1 did eat could not di- Cest, the digestive organs failing to perform their duty, adding greatly to my already pre- CariOus condition. For weeks at time I was unable to eat or sleep, suffering all the time most intensely and at times fearing I would lose my reason, and would have wei comed death to relieve me of my sufferings.
 Il consulted with local physicians and some of the most eminent specialists of the larger cities throughout the country some treating me for one thing and some for an- other, but without effect, and 1 received no elief whatever. One physician told mo l had double curvature of the spine and would eventually become paralyzed. l spent hun dreds of dollars in the short time l was afflicted without receiving the least benefit My friends all thought that there was no hope for me whatever and said that I must die, and l, myself, had almost given up in despair, when, in September, 1893, about eight months after was first afflicted, my attention was called to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Without much hope, lat once sent 10 c. F. Hickey & Co.,, Drug gists, Mt. Sterling, H., and procured some of the pills and immediately began taking them. Before long became aware of great change for the better in my almost hopeless condition. My appetite came back and my digestive organs performed their usual functions properly. took some more and grew rapidly better-could sit up in a chair and my body began to S-aighten out; con- tinued the treatment and in a short time was able to be about on crutches. My recovery from that time on was very rapid and assured. My right leg, which before commenced this treatment, was numb and dead, now eXpe- rienced a pricking, tingling sensation. l was enabled to throw away my Crutches and walk upright once more among my fel- lows, a better man physically than ever be- fore When first taken by the disease l weighed l60 pounds, was reduced to ll5; l now weigh l66 more that ever weighed at any time in my life Yes, sir, 1 lay my re- cOvery entirely to Pink Pills"
