WAS CURED or RHEUMATISM.
Crippled for Six Years with Sciatica
in Its Worst Form. He Expected

Marvellous Manner.
lFrom The Copinntcn, XII. Post.l

(From The Couingtcn, 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 ma
tive county and state in the Legislature
at Frankfort and at Washington, aid,
until his retirement was noted figure
in political and Judicial circles. The
Judge is well known throughout the
state and possesses the best qualities
which 60 to make Kentucky gentle
man honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his retire
ment at a time when his mental faculties
we're in the zenith of their strength, be,
gan their encroachment upon his natur-
ally strong constitution. A few days
ago kentucky Post reporter called up
on Judge Rice, who in the following
words related the history of the causes
that led to his retirement. ut is just
about six years since had an attack Of
rheumatism, slight at first, but soon de-
veloping into Sciatic rheumatism, which
began at first with acute shooting pains
in the hips, gradually extending down
ward to my feet
"My condition became 30 bad that 1
eventually lost all power Of my legs, and
then the liver, kidneys and bladder and
in fact, my whole system, became de-
ranged. L tried the treatment Of many
physicians, but receiving no lasting ben
eft from them, 1 had recourse to patent
remedies, trying one kind after anoth-
or until believe there were none L had
not sampled.
I'm 1883, attended by my son John, 1
went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not
much benefited by some months stay
there when L returned home. My liver
was actually dead, and dull persistent
pain in its region kept me on the rack
all the time. In 1890 l was reappointed
Circuit Judge, but it was impossible for
me to give attention to my duties. In
1891, L went to the Silurian Springs,
Wakesha, Wis. 1 stayed there some time,
but without improvement.
"Again L returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The mus
Giles of my limbs were now reduced by
atrophy to mere strings. Scatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was the dis
ordered condition of my liver that was
I felt gradually wearing my life away.
Doctors gave me up, all kinds Of reme-
dies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to do
but resign myself to fate.
~ fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned 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
upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t was,
] think, in the first week in May, the
pills arrived. l remember was not ex-
pected 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 1 had
not done for years. The liver began al
most instantaneously to perform its
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while I 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 mentioned
several who have found relief in their
use.
An analysis Of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, all forms of
weakness, either in male or female, and
all diseases resulting from vitiated hu-
mors in the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent postpaid on receipt of price, $50
cents box, or boxes for $2.50-they
are never sold in bulk or by the 1907
by addressing DR.. Williams Medicine
