A Kentucky Miracle.
JUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW
HE WAS CURED OF RHEU-
MATISM NJ.
Crippled For Six Years With sciatica
In its Worst Form-He Expected
to DIE But was Saved in
Marvellous Manner.
From the covington, KY, Post.


The Hon. John NJ Rice of Louisa,
Lawrence county, Kentucky, has for
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
native county and state in the IegiSla-
ture at Frankfort and at Washington,
and, until his retirement was noted
figure in political and judicial circles.
The Judge is well known throughout
the state and possesses the best quail
ties which go to make Kentucky gen
tleman honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his re-
tirement at a time when his mental
faculties were in the zenith of their
strength, began their encroachment
upon his naturally strong constitution.
A few days ago a Kentucky Post re-
porter called upon Judge Rice, who in
the following words related the his
tory of the causes that led to his re-
tirement SIT is just about six years
since ] had an attack of rheumatism,
slight at first, but soon developing 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 I
eventually lost all power of my legs,
and then the liver, kidneys and blad
der and, in fact, my whole system be-
came deranged. I tried the treatment
of many physicians, but receiving no
lasting benefit from them, had re-
course to patent remedies, trying one
kind after another until 1 believe there
were none had not sampled.
Of cd h TO1
I went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not
much benefited by some months stay
there when 1 returned home. My liver
was actually dead, and dull persistent
pain in its region kept me on the rack
all the time. In 1890 was reappointed
circuit Judge, but it was impossible for
me to give attention to my duties In
1891 1 went to the Silurian Springs.
Wakeshaw, Wis. 1 stayed there some
time, but without improvement.
''Again I returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The
muscles of my limbs were now reduced
by atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic
pains tortured me terribly, but it was
the disordered condition of my liver
that was 1 felt gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried with
out avail, and there was nothing more
for me to do but resign myself to fate.
81 fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulants
until April, 1893. One day John saw
an accciuntaof 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 so much harm, John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. TWAS,
think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. I 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
L could soon eat heartily, a thing had
not done for years. The liver began
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while I do not crave notoriety [
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 re-
lief in their use.
