MATIsM
Crippled for sig Years with soiatioa In

Marvellous Manner.

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 lcgis1a-
ture 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 quail
ties which go to make Kentucky gem
tleman honorcd wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily troub-
les which finally caused his retirement
at time when his mental faculties
were in the zenith of their strength,
began their encroachment upon his
naturally strong constitution. A few
days ago Kentucky Post reporter call
ed upon Judge Rice, who in the follow
ing words related the history of the
causes that led to his retirement "It
is just about six years since had an
attack of rheumatism, slight at first,
but soon developing into Sciatic rheu-
Inatism, 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
deranged. l tried the treatment of
many physicians, but receiving no last
ing benefit from them, had recourse
to patent remedies, trying one kind
after another until believe there were

I'm 1888, attended by my son John,
went to Hot Springs, Ark. was not

there when l returned home. My liver
was actually dead, and dull persist
cnt pain in its region kept me on the
rack all the time. In 1890 was reap
pointed Circuit Judge, but it was inn
possible for me to give attention to my
duties. In 1901 l went to the Silurian
Springs, Wakeshaw, Wis. I stayed
there some time, but without improve

again returned home, this time
feeling no hope 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
disordered condition of my liver that
was felt gradually wearing my life
away. Doctors gave me up, all kinds
of remedies had been tried without
avail, and there was nothing more for
me to do but to resign myself to my
fate.
~ fingered on in this condition sus-
tained 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

four days at the time. The effect of
the Pills, however, was marvellous and
l could soon eat heartily, a thing had

almost instantaneously to perform its
functions, and has done so ever since
Without doubt the pills saved my life,
and while 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 mem
toned several who have found relief
in their use.
