MIRACLE IN MISSOURI
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF MEDICAL
SCIENCE FAR MORE WONDER
Full THAN THE MAGIC OF
THE EAST.

The Remarkable Experience Of Post
master woodson OF Panama, Mo.
For Ten Years Cripple-To-day q
Well and Hearty Man.
From the Kansas City Times.l
The people of Rich Hill, Mo-, and
vicinity have recently been startled by q
seeming miracle of healing. For years
one Of the best known men in Bates and
Vernon counties has been Mark M.
Woodson, now postmaster at Panama
and brother of ex-State Inspector of
Mines G. G. Woodson of this city. The
people of Rich Hill, where he formerly
resided. and of his present home re-
member well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblaEce Of man,
which has painfully bowed lis head half
to earth and labored 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 helplessness, and
walked erect, firmly, unhesitatingly
about the two cities, people looked and
wondered. The story OF the remarkable
case has become the marvel of the two
counties. Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told
it to Times reporter, it is here pub
lished:
For ten years have suffered the
torments of the damned and have been
q useless invalid to-day am 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 rheu-
matism grew worse, and for the last four
years have been compelled to 60 about
bent half toward the ground. In the
winter of 1690-91, after the rheumatism
had settled into its most chronic form, |
went to Kansas City 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 galvanic
battery; this ] used for months with
the same result. In August, 1892, I
went TO st. Louis, and there con-
ferred with the widely known DR.. Mudd
of hospital practice fame and DR..
Kale of the city hospital. None of them
would take my case with any hope of
atfording me more than temporary re-
lief, and SO | 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 paralysis. I ordered some of the
pills as an experiment.. When | began
to take them the rheumatism had de-
veloped 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 a
well and strong man, | was free from
pain and could enjoy sound and rest
iul nights sleep, something | had not
known for ten years. To-day am prac-
tically, and firmly believe, permanently
cured of my terrible and agonizing all
ment. No magician OF the far East
ever wrought the miracle with his wand
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills did for
me-"
To verify the story beyond all ques-
tion of doubt Mr.. Woodson made the
following affidavit:
STATE OF MISSOURI,
County OF BATEs,| %.
/, M. M. Woodson, being duly sworn |
on my oath, state that the following |
statements are true and correct as I i
verify believe. M. M. WooDsoN.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this Sd day of March, 1894.
