 vicious MaRuer.
From the covington, Ky, Post l

The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa, Law renee County, Kentucky, has for the past two years retired from active life as Grim inal and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth Judi cial District of Kentucky.
 He has for many years served his native county and state in the legislature at Frank fort and at Washington, and, until his retire. ment was a noted figure in political and Judicial circles. The Judge is well known throughout the state and possesses the best qualities which go to make Kentucky gen. teman honored wherever he is known.
 About six years ago the bodily troubles which finally caused his retirement at a time when his mental faculties were in the zenith of their strength, began their en. croachment upon his naturally strong con stitution. A few days ago Kentucky Post reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the following words related the history of the causes that led to his retirement "It is just about six years since I had an attack of rheumatism, 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 I evsn- tually lost all power of my legs, and then the liver kidneys and bladder and in fact, my whole system, became deranged. tried the treatment of many physicians, but re- ceiving no lasting benefit from them, had recourse to patent remedies, trying one kind after another until believe there were none l had not sampled.
 ''iu 1888, attended by my son John, I went to Hot Springs, Ark. was not much benefited by some months stay there when I returned home. My liver was actually dead, and dull persistent pain in it's region kept me on the rack all the time. In 1890 l was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was impossible for me to give attention to my duties. In 1891, I went to the Silurian Springs, Waulzesha, Wis. I stayed there some time, but without improvement.
 "Again 1 returned home, this time feeling no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my limbs were now reduced by atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic 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 without avail, and there was nothing more for me to do but re- sign myself to fate.
 ''I fingered on in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April 1893. One day John saw an account of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People fin 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. It was, think, in the first week in May the pills arrived. I remember was not ex- pected 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 perform it's functions, and has done so eter since. Without doubt the pills saved my life and while do not crave notoriety cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
 The reporter called upon Mir. 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 mentioned several who have found relief in their use.
