RHEUMATIC SUFFERER.


Strong.
(Frors tho MI. Sterling, III. Repnblfcan)
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
widespread interest. While his eI-
perience is not without an equal, yet
1t has been sufficiently remarkable to
demand the attention of thousands of
people in Illinois, among whom are
numbered some of the most eminent
physicians.
In January, 1898. Mr.. Stout was
stricken with what was then believed
to be sciatic rheumatism, and in a 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 strong, hearty looking
man Of 100 pounds.
How this wonderful change was
brought about is most interesting as
told to representative of the Repub-
lican by Mr.. Stout himself:
II was afflicted with sciatic rheuma
tism and lumbago in January, 1893
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 afflict-
ed, causing me the most excruciating
pain. In a very short time became
totally unable to attend to any bust
ness whatever, and the disease
rapidly growing worse l had to take
o my bed, where lay suffering almost
continuously for months the most ag-
onizing torture, scarcely being able to
move or be moved. At one time lay
for six weeks fat on my back, the
slightest movement causing me such
pain as almost to throw me into con-
vulsions. l cannot begin to express
to you the intense pain 1 suffered.

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 falling to perform
their duty, adding greatly to my al
.eady prccarious condition. For weeks
1T a time l was unable to eat or sleep,
suffering all the time most intensely
and at times feeling would lose my
reason and would have welcomed
Heath to relieve me of my sufferings
1 consulted with local physicians
and some of the most eminent spec
alists of the larger cities throughout
the country, some treating me for one
thing and some for another, but with
put effect, and l received no relief
whatever. One physician told me
had double curvature of the spine and
would eventually become paralyzed. l

time was afflicted, without receiving
the least benefit. My friends all thought
that there was no hope for me what
ever and said that l must die, and ],
myself, had almost given up In de-
spair, when In September, 1893, about
eight months after | was first afflicted
ny attention was called to Dr.Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. Without
much hope, l at once sent to o. h.
Hickey & Co., Druggists, Mt Sterling,
ILL.,, and procured some of the pills, and
Immediately began taking them. Be
fore long l became aware OF a great
shange for the better In my almost
hopeless condition. My appetite came
back and my digestive organs perform
I'd their usual functions properly.

began to straighten out; continued the
treatment and in a short time was able
to be about on crutches. My recovery

I commenced this treatment, was
numb and dead, now experienced a
pricking, tingling sensation. ] was ell

before. When first taken by the dis

than ever weighed at any time in my
life. Yes, sir, lay my recovery entire
