. KENTUCKY MIRACLE.
JUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW
HE WAS CURED DE RHEUMA-
TISM.
Crippled for Six Years With sciatica IN
Its Worst Form-He Expected TO
Die, But Was Saved in u
Marvellous Manner.
From the Covington, KY. Post.

The Hon. John M. Rice, OF Louisa,
Lawrence County. Kentucky, has 1or
the past two years retired from active
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge OF
the Sixteenth judicial district OF Ken
lucky.
He has for many years served his ma
tive county and state in the legislature
at Frankfort and at Washington, and,
until his retirement, was a noted figure
in political and judicial circles. The
Judge is we'll known throughout the
state and possesses the best qualities
which go to make n Kentucky gentle
man honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his retire
ment at a time when his mental facul-
ties were in the zenith of their strength,
began their encroachment upon his
naturally strong constitution. A few
days ago n Kentucky Post reporter
called upon Judge Rice, who in the fol-
lowing words related the history of the
cause that led to his retirement. 1T
is just about six years since l had an
attack of rheumatism, slight at first,
but soon developing into Sciatic rheu-
matism, which began first with acute
shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
my condition became SO bad that l
eventually lost all power of my legs, and
then the liver, kidneys and bladder and
in fact, my whole system became de-
ranged. tried the treatment of many
physicians, but receiving no lasting
benefit from them, | had %ecourse to
patent remedies, trying one kind after
another until / believe there were none
l had not sampled.
"In 1883, attended by my son John, I
went to Hot Springs, Ark. l was not
much benefited by some months stay
there when returned home. My liver
was actually dead, and a dull persistent
pain in its region kept me on the rack
all the time. In 1890 1 was reappointed
Circuit Judge, but it was impossible for
me to give attention to my duties. In
1891, l went to the Silurian Springs,
Wakeshaw, Wis. | stayed there some
time, but without improvement.
Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The mus
cles of my limbs were now reduced by
atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was the dis
ordered condition of my liver that was,
l felt, gradually wearing my life away.
Doctors gave me up, all kinds of rem
edies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for Inc to do
but resign myself to fate.
II fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulants
until April, 1898. One day John saw
an account of DR.. 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 so much harm. John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t was,
/ think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. remember l was not
expected to live for more than three or
four days at the time. The effect of the
Pills, however, was marvellous, and I
could oon eat heartily, a thing / had
not done for years. The liver began
almost instantaneously to perform its
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while l do not crave notoriety I
cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes,
the Louisa druggist, who informed him
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
very popular since Judge Rice used
them with such benefit. He mentioned
several who have found relief in their
use.
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements 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 compilations, all forms of
weakness, either in male or female, and
all diseases resulting from Initiated hui
mors in the blood. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid On receipt of price, $50
cents a box, or G boxes for S.. 5O-they
are never sold in bulk or by the 100 by
addressing DR.. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, n. Y.
