Crippled for Six Years with sciatica In

[From the corington, Ky.. Post1


The Hon. John NJ. 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 gem
tleman 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 tho
zenith of their strength, began their en-.
croachmcnt upon his naturally strong con-
stitutiou. A few days lgo Kentucky Post
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the
following words relate the history of the
causes that led to his retirement at is
just about six wears since | had an attack
of rheumatism, slight al 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 evsn-
tually lost all power of my legs, and then
the liver kidneys aud bladder and in fact.
my whole system, became deranged tried

ceiving no lasting benefit from them, had

ain 1883, 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 dull persistent pain in its region
kent me on tho rack all the time. In 1870
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was
impossible for me TO give attention TO my
duties. In 1884, / went t. the Silurian
Springs, Waulzesha, Wis. l stayed there
some time, but without improvement.
Gag lin returned home, this time feeling
no hopes of recovery The muscles of my
limbs were now reduced by atrophy to mere
strings. Sciatic paus tortured me terribly,
but it was the dis ordered 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.
II fingered on in this condition sustained
almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1893. One day John saw an account of
DIR. 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 50 much harm, John
prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1.
was, ] think, in the first week in Nav ths
pills arrived. l remember / was not ex.
pected to live for more than three or four
lays nc the time. The effect of the Pills,
however, was marvellous and could soon
eat heartily, a thing had not done for years
The l'vsr began almost instantaneously to
perfovra its fun rtions and has done so ever
since. Without doubt the pills saved my
life and whileI do not crave notoriety
cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
Tho reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes, the
Louisa druggist, who informed him that
, poDula-, since Judge Nice used them with
such t~r'efit. He mentioned several who
have found relief in their use.
