(From the kansas CITY Times. J

Tho people Of Rich Hill, Mo-, and
vicinity have recently been startled by
seeming miracle of healing. For
years one of the best known men In
Bates and Vernon counties has been
Mark M. Woodson, now postmaster at
Panama, and brother of ex-State In
spector Of Mines @. q. Woodson of this
city. The people Of Rich Hill, where
he formerly resided, and of mis- present
home, remember well the bent form,
mlsshapen almost from the sembiance
OF man which had painfully bowed its
head half to earth and labored snail
like across the walks season after sea-
son, and when one day last 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 remarkable case has
become the marvel of the two counties.
Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told 1t to q
Times reporter, it is here published:
For ten years / have suffered the
torments Of the damned and have been
a useless invalid; to-day / am well
and hearty man, free from almost
every touch Of pain. don't think man
ever suffered more acute and constant
agony than / have since 1884. 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 five years, the ailment
having settled in the joint. Despite con-
slant treatment Of the most eminent
pl ysicians the rheIuls tism grew worse,
and for the last four years l have been
compelled to go about bent half toward
the ground In the winter of $4,000,
after the rbel natiSm Lad settled into
it's most chronic form, I went to Kan
sas City uIon advice of my brother,
ar d for six weeks / was treated in Quo
Of the largest and best known dis
ponsaries of that city, but without the
sis htest improvement. Before came
home i secured n strong galvanic bat
terry. This used for mouths with the
same result In August, 1892, went
TO st. Louis, and there conferred with
the widely known DR.. Mudd of hospital
practice and fame, and DR.. Kale of the
city hospital. None of them would
take my case with any hope of afford
ing me more than temp )raly relief, and
50 l came home, weak, doubled with
lain, helpless and dtSpondent.
about this time my attention was
called to the account Of a remarkable
cure by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People of locomotor ataXia, rheu-
natism and paralysis. l ordered some
of the pills as an experiment. When /
began to take them the rheumatism had
developed into d 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
gone, and so was the cane. / was able
to attend to the duties of my Office, to
get about as well and strong man.
was free from pain and l could enjoy
sound and restful nights sleep, some
thing had not known for ten years.
To-day am practically, and, firmly
believe, permanently cured of my terri
BILE and agonizing ailment. No magi-
clan of the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills did for me-"
To verify the story beyond all ques-
ton of doubt Mr.. Woodson made the
following affidavit:
