but was Saved in n Marvellous Manner.
(from the Covington, Ky, Post)
The Hon. John N. Rice, of Louisa,
Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for
the past two years retired from active
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of
the sixteenth judicial district of
Kentucky.
lie has for many years served his
native county and state in the legisla-
ture at Frankfort and at Washington,
and, until his retirement was a noted
figure in political and judicial circles.
The Judge is well known throughout
the state and possesses the best quail
ties which go TO make Kentucky gen.
tleman honored wherever he is
known.
About SIX years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his re-
tirement at time when his mental
faculties were in the zenith of their
strength, began their encroachments
upon his naturally strong constitu-
ton. 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. at is just about six
years since | had an attack of rheu-
matism, slight at first, but soon de-
veloping into Sciatic rheumatism,
which began first with acute shooting
pains in the hips, gradually extending
downward to my feet.
MY condition became so bad that |
eventually lost all power of my legs,
and then the liver, kidneys and blad-
der and in fact, my whole system, be-
came deranged. tried the treatment
Of many physicians, but receiving no
lasting benefit from them, had re-
course to patent remedies, trying one

I'm 1855, attended by my son John,
went to Hot Springs, Ark. was
not much benefited by some months
stay there when returned home. My
liver was actually dead, and a dull,
persistent pain IN its region kept me
On the rack all the time. In 1890 l
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it
was impossible for me to give atten-
ton to my duties. In 1891, went to
the Silurian Springs, Wakeshaw, Wis.
stayed there some time, but without
Improvement.
Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The
muscles of my limbs were now reduc-
ed by atrophy to mere strings. Sciat-
C pains tortured me terribly, but it
was the disordered condition of my
liver that was felt gradually wearing
my life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried with
,ut avail, and there was nothing more
for me to do but to resign myself TO
fate.
81 fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned 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 prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t was,I
think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. ! remember / was not
expected to live for more than three
or four days at the time. The effect
of the Pills, however, was marvellous
and / could soon eat heartily, a thing
/ had not done for years. The liver
began almost instantaneously to per-
forms It's functions, and has done so
ever since. Without doubt the pills
saved my life and while do not crave
notoriety cannot refuse to testify to
their worth"
Thereporter called upon Mr.. Hughes
the Louisa druggist, who informed
him that DR.. Williams Pink Pills, have
been very popular, since Judge Rice
used them with such benefit He men
toned several who have found relief
in their use.
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing

nervous headache, the after effects Of
