That He Lost All Power of Feet and
Legs-How He Was Cured,

So Badly Crippled With Rheumatism
That He Lost All Power of Feet and
Legs-How He Was Cured.
From the San Francisco Chroniclel
NJ. E. Douglas, young man who owns
and runs harness shop out at 26l2 Mis-
sion street in this city, tells a tale of a
remarkable cure of rheumatism after he
had suffered for several years, and had
almost given up hoping that it could be
cured. That Mr.. Douglas cure is per-
manent is amply demonstrated by the
fact it was effected two years ago, and
rheumatism has not troubled him at all
since that time.
1t was in regard to his recovery that a
Chronicle reporter called upon Mr.. Doug
las few days ago. The young man told
the following story:
About four or five years ago | began
to be much troubled by severe pains in
my feet and ankles, and it annoyed me
so greatly that | could only keep at work
with difficulty. began to think that |
was standing on my feet too much, and
would have to manage to do easier work.
l was in a harnessmaker's shop then,
-tpNae tAieto ICttu vi u ulStHSe
the feet which is contracted in the Ger
man army. l decided that l had the
same disease, and read up the remedies
used for it and tried them. Of course,
they did no good. / then tried hot wa
ter bathing, and also used mustard wa
ter. | got some relief from the bathing,
but it was only temporary, and my
trouble was constantly increasing. At
last went to physician, and he gave
me prescription, but it did no good. |
was now so badly off that the acute pain
had gone up beyond the calves of my
legs. used to have to sit down very
often, and frequently when would try
to stand would fall right over. COM
pletely lost power over my feet and legs,
and was almost paralyzed. Finally de-
termined that would have to let the
disease wear itself out.
You see, we are all natives of Cam
ada. My father, mother and | used to
i've at woodstock, Ontario. We got the
Woodstock Sentinel Review, which con-
tanned a number of reports about the
wonderful properties of medicine called
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
l thought that, if one-quarter or one
tenth OF what was said about them was
true, they might do me some good. We
got $3.50 worth of them, and began to
take them without much regularity and
without thinking much about their cur
ing me. just took them when thought
OF it, two or three at q time as they hap
pened to come handy. / was also suffer-
ing from severe attack OF piles, which
gave me great deal of trouble. After
| had been taking the Pink Pills awhile
| noticed that the piles left me, and then
my rheumatism just went away from me
SO easily that | hardly thought of it un-
til it was gone. | had given up all other
treatment, and was taking nothing but
the pills; SO it must have been the pills
that cured me. took more, and in fact
take some still. We always keep them
in the house now. They give your cheeks
a fine healthy glow, and keep you feel
ing well all the time. My rheumatism
was completely cured, and has not troub-
led me for two years.
my grandfather, John Douglas, is
still living in Canada. He was quite
well acquainted with this very DR.. Will
Jams who first compounded the pills,
and knows that he has the very best OF
standing in the community.
~ cheerfully recommend the Pink
Pills, and l think that any one who
takes them is sure to receive benefit. As
lsaid, we still keep the pills in the house
all the time, and would not be without
them"
Mr.. Douglas is 26 years of age. He
has been in San Francisco for the best
part OF his life. He is we'll and favor
ably known by great many San Fran
cisco people. Any one of an inquiring
frame of mind can find him at work in
his harness shop at 26l2 Mission street.
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain in a condensed form all the ele-
ments necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effects of la grippe,
palpitation OF the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms OF weakness either
in male or female. Pink Pills are sold
by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid
on receipt OF price $50 cents box, or six
boxes for $3.50 by addressing DR.. Will
iams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
