Years . Crtpple-To-day q Well and
Hearty Man.
(From the Kansas City 7Tmes)
The people OF Rich Hill, Mo. and vicinity,
have recently been startled by a seeming mir
ace of healing. For years of the best
known men in Bates and Vernon counties has
been Mark NJ. Woodson, now postmaster at
Panama, and brother OF eHState Inspector OF
Mines. e. c. woodson, of this city. The people
of Rich Hill, where lie formerly resided, and OF
his present home, remember well tine bent
form, misshapen almost from the semblance
of man, which has painfully bowed it's head
half to earth and labored snail-ike across the
walks season after season, and when one day
last month it Strengthened 10 its full height,
threw away the heavy butt of cane which for
years had been its only support from total help
Iessness, and walked erect firmly, unhesitat-
ingly 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 10 Times re-
porter, it Is here published:
"For ten years ! have suffered the torrnents
of the damned and have been q useless invalid;
to-day 1 am n 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 sufIi-
GENTLY TO arise but il was only to get about on
clutches for five years, the allment having
settled i'm the joint. Despite constant treat
ment of the most eminent physicians the rheu-
matism grew worse, and for the last four years
1 have been compelled 10 go about bent half
toward the ground In the winter of ls9o-9l,
after the rheumatism had settled into its most
vice of my brother, and for six weeks l was
treated in one of the largest and best known
dispensaries OF that city, but without the
slightest improvement Before came home
1 secured q strong galvanie battery, this used
for months with the same result In August,
1889, went TO st. Louis. and there conferred
with the widely known DIR. Mudd Of hospital
practice fame. and DIR. Kale of the city hospital
None of them would take my case with any
hope of affording me more than temporary
lief and SO l came home, weak, doubled with
pain, helpless ard respondent
About this time my attention was called TO
the account of a remarkable cure by Dr. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People Of locomotor
alta xia, rheumatism and paralysis. / ordered
some Of the pills an experiment. When I
began TO take them, The rheumatism had devel-
oped into a phase of paralysis; my leg from
the thigh down was cold all the time and could
not be kept warm In a short time the pills
were gone, and SO was the cane. I was able TO
attend TO the duties OF my Office. TO get about
as a well and strong man. j was free from
pain and l could enjoy a sound and restful
nights sleep, something had not known for
ten years. To-day am practically, and, firmly
believe, permanently cured OF my terrible and
agonizing ailment. No magician of the Far
East ever wrought the miracle with his wand
that DIR. Williams Pink Pills did for me-"
doubt Mr. woodson made the following afi-
dayit:
