iron the Kansas City rmes)
The people of Rich Hill, Mo. and vicinity
have recently been startled by a seeming
miracle OF healing. For years one of the
best known men in Bates and Vernon coun-
ties has been Mark NJ. Woodson, now post
master OF Panama, and brother OF ex-State
Inspector OF Mines, G. G. Woodson, Of this
city. The people Of Rich Hill. whore he
formerly resided, and of his present home,
remember we'll the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblance OF man, which
has painfully bowed its head half to earth
and labored snail-like across the walks
season after season, and when one day last
month it Strengthened to its full height,
threw away tho heavy butt Of cane which
for years had been its only support from
total heplessness, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatingly about the two cities, people
looked and wondered. The story OF the re.
markable case has become the marvel of the
two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told
1t to Times reporter, 1t Is here published:
"For ten years have suffered the tor.
ments Of the damned and have been USE
less Invalid; to-day l am we'll and hearty
man, free from almost every touch OF pain.
I don't think man ever suffered moro acute
and constant agony than have since 1884
The rheumatism started then in my right
knee, and after weeks of suffering In bed
was ut last relieved sufficiently to arise, but
1t was only to get about on crutches for FIVE
years, the ailment having settled in the
Joint. Despite constant treatment OF the
most eminent physicians the rheumatism
grew worse, and for tho la5t four years I
have been compelled to go about bent half
toward the ground. In the winter OF 1900
el, after tho rheumatism had settled into its
most chronic form, I went to Kansas City
upon advice OF my brother, and for six
weeks / was treated In one of the largest
and best known dispenssrles OF that city,
but without the slightest improvement.
Before came homo received strong gall
vanic battery, this I used for months with
the same result. In August, 1892, l went
10 st. Louis, and there conferred with the
widely known Or. Mudd OF hospital prac.
ttce fame, and DR.. Kale OF the city hospital.
None Of them would take my case with any
hope OF atfording me more than temporary
relief, and so / came home, weak. doubled
with pain, helpless and respondent.
"About this time my attention was called
TO the account OF a remarkable cure by DIR.

locomo;or ataxia, rheumatism and para.
ysis. l ordered some OF the pills as an
experiment When l began to take them,
the rheumatism had developed into phase

was cold all the time and could not be kept
warm. In q short time the pills were gone,
AMI SO was the cane. was able to attend
to the duties OF my office, to get about as q
well and strong man. Twas free from pain
and l could enjoy a sound and restful
nights sleep, something / had not known
for ten years. To-day am practically, and,
I firmly believe, permanently cured OF my
terrible and agonizing ailment. No ma.
glcian OF the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills did for me-"
To verify the story beyond oil question OF
doubt Mr.. woodson made the following
