firmly, unhesitatingly 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 to n
Times reporter, it is here published:
For ten years l have suffered the
torments Of the damned and have been
a useless invalid; to-day am well
and hearty man, free from almost
every touch Of pain. I 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 sufficiently
to arise, but 1t was only to get about
on clutches for five years, the ailment
having settled in the joint. Despite con-
slant treatment of the most eminent
Physicians the rhe'nls tism grew worse,
and for the last four years have been
compelled to 20 about benz half toward

Of tile largest and best known dis.

slie htest improvement. Before I came

to st. Louis, and there conferred with
the widely known DR.. Mudd of hospital

city hospital. None Of them would
take my case with any hope Of afford
ing me more than temp )rary relief, and

rain, helpless and despondent.
"About this time my attention was

to attend to the duties of my office, to

a sound and restful nights sleep, some
thing I had not known for ten years.
To-day am practically, and, I firmly
believe, permanently cured Of my terri
BILE and agonizing ailment. No magi-
clan of the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills did for me-"
To verify the story beyond all ques-
ton of doubt Mr.. Woodson made the
following affidavit:
