4 MIRACLE IN MISSOURI
The Achievements Of Medical
Science Far More Wonderful
Than the Magic Of tho East
from the Kansas City Times. |


have recently been startled by o seeming
miracle Of healing. For years one Of tn.
best known men in Bates and Vernon coun
ties has been Mark NJ Woodson, now post
master at Panama, and brother Of ex-Statl
Inspector Of Mixes G. c. Woodson, of thi!
city. The people Of Rich Hill, where hi
formerly resided, and Of his present home
remember well the bent form, misshapeY
almost from the semblance OF man, which
has painfully bowed its head half to eartl
and labored snail-like across the walks
season after season, and when one day las
month it Strengthened to its full height
threw away the heavy butt Of cane which
for years had been its only support from
total helplessness, 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
It to Ttmes reporter, 1t Is here published
'For ten years I have suffered the tor
ments Of the damned and have been q use
less invalid; to-day am q well and hearty
man free from almost every toach Of pain.
1don't think man ever suffered more acute
and constant agony than have since 1854.
The rheumatism started then in my right
knee, and after weeks Of suffering in bed
was at last relieved sufficiently to arise, but
It was only to get about on crutches for Ave
years, the ailnent having settled in the
joint. Despite constant treatment Of the
most eminent physicians the rheumatism
grew worse, and for the last four years I
have been compelled to go about bent half
toward the ground. In the winter of 1890
d, after the rheumatism had settled into ito
most chronic form, went to Kansas City
upon advice Of my brother, and for six
weeks was treated in one Of the largest
and best known dispensaries Of that city,
but without the slightest improvement.
Before l came home secured strong gal
vanic battery, this used for months with
the same result In August, 1882, I went
TO st. Louis, and there conferred with the
widely known Dr. Mudd of hospital prac-
tice fame, and DR.. Kale Of the city hospital.
None Of them would take my case with any
hope Of afording me more than temporary
relief, and so came home, weak, doubled
with pain, helpless and respondent
"About this time my attention was called
to tho account Of q remarkable cure by DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People OF
locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and paral-
ysis I ordered some Of the pills rs an ex-
pertinent, When l began to take them,
the rheumatism had developed into phase
of paralysis; my leg from the thigh down
was cold all the time and could not be kept
warm. In short time the pills were gore,
and so was the cane. was able to attend
to the duties of my Office, to get about as
we'll and strong man. Twas free from pain
and I could enjoy 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
gician Of the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills did for me-"

1oubt Mr.. Woodson made the following
