Few men are held in higher esteem by
their fellow townspeople than Jas. w.
Stout of Riply, ILL.,, and it is due no
doubt partly to this popularity that the
record OF the case has created such wide
spread interest. While his experience is
not without an equal, yet, 1t has been
sufficiently remarkable TO demand tho
attention Of thousands Of people in I'LL
nois, among whom are numbered some
of the most eminent physicians
In January, 1893, Mr.. Stout was
stricken with what was then believed
TO be scatic rheumatism, and in short
time was barely able to hobble around
on crutches, and it seemed to his friends
that his days were numbered. To-day
he is a strong, hearty looking man OF
100 pounds.
How this wonderful change was
brought about is most interesting as
told to representative of the RepHbH-
can by Mr.. Stout himself
II was afflicted with sciatic rheuma-
tism and lumbago in January, 1898.
The sciatic nerve on the right side be-
came affected in the hip, running down
to the ankle and across the small of the
back to the left side, and soon my whole
system became afflicted, causing me
the most excrueiating pain. In Il very
short time 1 became totally unable to
attend TO any business whatever, and
ihe disease rapidly growing worse L had
totalze to my bed, where lay suffering
almost continuously for months the
most agonizing torture, scarcely being
able to move or be moved. At one time
lay Tor six weeks fiat on nv back, the
slightest movement causing me such
main as almost to throw me into conyul-
sions. I cannot begin to express to you
the intense pain suffered. was drawn,
by the .severeness of the malady, over TO
the left side; lost my appetite had no
desire for food, and what little / did eat
/ could not digest, the digestive organs
failing to perform their duty, adding
greatly to my already precarious con-
dition For weeks at time [ was I'M
able to eat or sleep, suffering all the
time most intensely and at times fear

have welcomed death to relieve me OF
my snfferngs.

some of the most eminent specialists OF

for another, but without effect, and | re-

receiving the least benefit. My friends
all thought there was no hope for me
whatever and said that must die, and
1, myself, had almost given up in de-
spair, when in September, 1893, about
eight months after | was first afflicted,
my attention was called to DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People Without
much hope, L at once sent to @. f,
Hickey e. Co., Druggists, Mt. Sterling,
ILL.,, and procured some of the pills and
immediately began taking them. Before
long 1 became aware Of great change
for the better in my almost hopeless con-
dtion. My appetite came back and my
digestive organs performed their usual
functions properly. L took some more
and grew rapidly better-could sit up
in chair and my body began to straight
en- out; continued the treatment and in
short time was able to be about on
crutches. Ny recovery from that time
on was very rapid and assured, Ny
right leg, which before commenced this
treatment, was numb and dead now ex-
perienced prickling, tingling sensation
was enabled to throw away my crutches
and walk upright once more among my
fellows, better man physically than
ever before. When first taken by the
disease / weighed 100 pounds, was re-
duced to us; L now weigh 166, more
than ever weighed at any time in my
life Yes sir, I lay my recovery entirely
to Pink Pills"
