CURED OF RHEUMATISM
Crippled for Six Years with Sciatica
fin Its Worst Form-He Expected to
Manner.


From The Covington, KY, Post.
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 re-
tirement was noted figure in political
and judicial circles. The Judge is well known
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which so 10 make a Kentucky
gentleman 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-
croaehment 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 to his retirement. 1T IS
just 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
hips. gradually extending downward to nay
feet.
My condition became so bad that even
tually lost all power of my legs, and then
the liver. kidneys and bladder and in fact,
nay whole system. became deranged. L tried
the treatment of many physicians, but re-
ceiving no lasting benefit from them, had
recourse to patent remedies. trying one kind
after another until l believe there were
none 1 had not sampled.
in 1885, attended by my son John. I
went to Hot Springs, Ark. l was not much
1 returned home. My liver was actually
dead, and dull persistent pain in its re-
giOn kept me on the rack all the time In
1890 / was reappointed circuit judge, but 1t
was Impossible for me 10 give attention TO
my duties. In 1901 / went TO the Silurian
Springs, Naukeshaw, Wis. l stayed there
some time, but without Improvement.
again / returned home, this time feeling
no hopes OF recovery. The muscles of my
limbs were now reduced by atrophy to mere
strings. Seattle pains tortured me terribly;
but il was the disordered condition or
my liver that 1 felt was gradually wearing
{ my life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried without
avail, and there was nothing more for NE
to do but resign myself to fate.
II fingered on in this condition sustained
almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1898. One day John saw an account of Dr.
Williamss Pink Pills for Pale People in
The Kentucky Post. This was something
new, and one more drug after SO many
others could not do so mucn harm, John
prevailed upon ne to try the Pink Pills. 1t
was, ! think, IN the first week in May the
pills arrived. l remember l was not ex-
pected to live for more than three four
days at the time. The effect CT the Pills,
however was marvellous and I could soon
eat heartily, q thing I had not done for
years. The liver began almost instantane-
ously to perform Us functions and has
done ever since. Without doubt the pills
saved my life and while 1 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's Pink Pills have been very
popular Stree Judge Rice used them with
such benefit. He mentioned several who
have found relief in their use.
