From the Kansas City Times)
The PEOPLE of Rich Hill, Mo-. AMI vi.
entity have Re .ently been startle by Q
seeming MIRAGE of healing. For years
one Of the best-kuOwn mon in bates
and Vernon Counties has been Mark
NJ. WO NsUn. now postmaster at PanA-
ma, and brother .. eN-Statc Inspector
of Mines {. 4. Woodson, of this city.
The people Of Rich hi |, where he for
merlv resided. and OF his present
home remember well the bent form,
misshapen almost from the semblAnce
of man. which has painful. bowed its
head half TO earth and laborel snail
like across the walks season after sea-
son. and when one day last month is
stl aig htened /, its fun height, threw
away the heavy butt of cane which for
years had been it, only support from
total he ple>sne-s. and walked erect.
firmly. unhe>itatinSly u! out the two
citie,. peo. le looked and wondered.
The story of the remarkable case has
become the marvel of the twocuunties.
Exactly a, Mr.. WoOd>on told IT TO =
Times reporter. it is here published:
''ror ten wears | have suffered the
torlnents of tie damned and have been
auseless invalid: to-day | am Il we'll and
hearty man. free from almost every
touch OF pain. don't think man ever
suffered more acute and constant agony
than | have sine l>>,. The rhcumu-
ti>m started then in my right knee,
and afier weeks Of suffering in bed
was at last relieved suite emily to
arise, but it was Only to get about on
crutche, Tor tive years, the uilment
having settled i'll the Joint. Despite
cOnsta I I eatment of t9e most emf
nent physicians the rheumatism grew
worse. and for the last four years 1
have been compelled to go about bent
half toward tue ground. In the winter
of lSHC-al. after the rheumati IN had
settled into its most chronic form.
went to Kansas City upon advice of my
ed in one Of the largest and bcst-known
dispensaries of that city. but without
the slightest improvement. Before I
came home | secured a strong galvanic
battery: this used for months with
the same result. In August, lS9,. I
went to IT. Louis, and there conferred
with the widely known DR.. Mudd. OF
hospital practice fame, and DIR. kale,
of the cit.' hospital. None Of them
would take my case with any hope OF
aforLing me more than temporary re.
lief. and so came home, weak, doubled
with rain, helpless and Respondent.
About this time my attention was
called to the acc. unit Of "A remarkable
cure of locomotor ataXia. rhcuma-
tism and paralysis by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for ale People. ordered
some of the pills as an experiment
rheumatism had developed into q
phase of paralysis: my leg, from tho
thigh down. was cold all the time and
could not be kept warm. In u short
time the pills were gone, and SO was
the cane. l was able to attend to tho
duties OF my office, to got about as .
well and strong man. l was free from
pain and | could enjoy u sound and
restful nights sleep, something l had
not known for ten years. To-day am
practically and, firmly believe, PER-
manently cured of my terrible and
agonizing ailment. No magician Of
the Far East ever wrought the mira
Gle with his wand that DIR. Williams
Pink Pill. did for NO."
