heavy butt Of cane which had for years
had been its only support, from total
heIpleseness, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatingly about the two cities,
people looked AID wondered. Tho story
Of tho remarkable case has become the
marvel OF the two counties. Exactly as
Mr.. Woodson told IL to a Times reporter,
1t Is here published:
"FoF ten years [ have suffered the tor.
ments Of tho damned and have been u
useless invalid to-day an q we'll and
hearty man, FREQ 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 1t was
only to get about on crutches for five
years, tho ailment having settled in the
Joint Deapitc constant treatment Of
tho most eminent physicians the rheu-
mRtism grew worse, and for the last
four years have been compelled to go
about bcnt half toward the ground.
In the winter OF 1S90-91. after
tho rheumatism had settled into its
most chronic form, l went to Kansas
City upon advice OF my brother, aud for
six weeks ! was treated in one OF tho
largest and best known dlspensaries oil
that city, but without the slightest i'm.
proyement. Before l came homo se-
cured strong galvanic battery, this l
used for months with tho same result.
In August, 1892, I went to st. Louis,
and there conferred with tho widely
known Dr.. MudI OF hospital practice

None Of them would take my case with
any hope Of atEording me more than
temporary relief, and 90 I came homo,
weak, doubled with pain, holpless and

about this time my attention was
called to the account Of remarkable
cure by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People OF locomotor ataxia, rheu-
matism and paralysis. l ordered some
OF the pills as an experiment When l
began TO take them, the rheumatism
had developed into phase OF paralysis
my leg from the thigh down was cold

gone, and so was the cano. I was ablo

sound and resIful nights sleep, some
thing had not known for ton years.
To-day am practically, and, 1 firmly be-
love, permanently cured Of my terrible
aud ngonizing ailment. No magician OF
tho Far East ever wrought tho miracle
with his wand that DR.. williams Pink
