From the London, (Ont.) AdvertiserJ
At 33 Alma street, South London,
lives Mr.. E. J. Powell, gentleman
who has resided in London and viciD-
ny for about six years. he has been a
4 sufferer since his youth with rheuma
tsm in its worst form, but now the
haggard face and almost crippled form
of A wear ago have given away to an
sppearance of health and vigor.
Hearing of this reporter called on
Mr.. Powell and asked him to relate his
experience. L.-,
matte trouble" said Mr.. Powell, Twas
jp 1872. A twinge of pain caught me,
but passed away in an instant. L did
not know what it was. After that l
was attacked at various periods, and iu
1875 began to grow alarmed. In 1878
suffered from sciatica in the left leg.
g"For a number of years afterward l
continued to grow worse and worse.
In the summer of 1884 1 experienced
the pain constantly. It was all day
and at all times. ] took the electric
treatment steadily fOl several weeks,
but it did me not the slightest good.
"a year ago last winter l was seized
with pain and for fourteen weeKs j
never left the house. The only way in
which could be moved was bv being
wheeled around in an easy chair.
What / suffered during that period no
Que but myself can ever realize. Mr..
Marshall, of whose case you have read,
is an acquaintance of mine, and said he
could not say whether Pink Pills would
cure rheumatism or not, bat they were
good for the blood anyway, and at
least it would do me no harm to try
half dozen boxes.
$50 | did, bought six boxes, took
four and received no benefit that l.
could recognize, but while taking the
fifth 1 noticed that for period Of three
or four days felt no pain. L supposed
it was temporary relaxation due TO
natural causes. However, it gave me
some hope to finish the sixth box.
Then l knew L was getting better
much better. The pain which had
been constant became intermittent and
less severe. My friends and family
told me that 1 was beginning to look
like another man. My face, which
had begun to wear q drawn expression,
common with people who are suffering,
commenced to show a better color.
Nv system was being toned up In.
spired with increased hope l purchased
six more boxes from DIR. Mitchell, the
druggist, and continued to take them,
and with each box realized more and
more that it was a cure. L used up
thirteen boxes in all, and when the
thirteen was finished l had not 9
symptom Of pain for three months.
"Now,n concluded Mr.. Powell, "you
have my experience. / know what
was; know what am. / know tha
from boyhood l have been victim o
malignant rheumatism, W hich has beer
torture the last few years. l know
that have tried every remedy ant
been treated by the best medical skill
but in vain; and know that Pink Pill
have succeeded where everything els
has failed and that they have brough
me back health and happiness. There
fore ought to be thankful, and an
thankful And Mr.. Powell's inteDs
earnestness of manner could admit u
doubt as to his gratitude and sincerity
