Judicial circles. The Judge is well known
throughout the state aud possesses tho best
qualities which go 10 make kentucky gen

which .inaly caused his retirement at q
time when his mental faculties were in the
zenith OF their strength, began their en-.
croachmont upon his naturally strong con-
stitution. A few days ago Kentucky Poet
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who In the
following words related tho history of the
causes that led 10 his retirement. at is
Just about six years since l had an attack
Of rheumatism, slight at first but soon de-
veloping into Sclatic rheumatism, which

the treatment Of many physicians, but re-
ceiving no lasting benefit from them, l had

no hopes OF recovery. The muscles Of my
limbs were now reduced by atrophy TO mere
strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly,

remedies had been tried without avail and
there was nothing more for me TO do but re-
sign myself to fate.

almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1893. One day John saw an account of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
In the Kentucky Post. This was something
new, and as one more drug after so many
others could not do so much harm, John

days at tho time. The eject of the Pills,
however, was marvellous and could soon

Louisa druggist, who informed him that
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been very
popular, since Judge Rico used them with
such benefit He mentioned several who
have found relief in their use.
