Ten Years Cripple To-day

tFrom the Kansas City Times.)
The people of Rich Hill, Mo-, AMI vi.
entity have recently been startlet by il
seeming miracle Of healing. For Years
one Of the best-known men in Bates
and Vernon Counties has been Mark
NJ. Woodson, now postmaster at Pana-
ma, and brother OF ex-State Inspector
of Mines G. c. Woodson, OF this city.
The people OF Rich Hill, where he for.
merly resided, and Of his D: eSent
home remember we'll the bent form,
lnisshapen almost from the semblance
of man, which has painfully bowed its
head half TO earth and labored snail
like across the walks season after sea-
son, and when one day last month il
stl aightened to its full height, threw
away the heavy butt of cane which for
years had been it; only support from
total he plessness. and walked erect,
firmly unhesitatingly about the two
cites, peot lie looked and wondered.
The story Of the remarkable case has
become the marvel OF the two counties.
Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told it to a
Times reporter, it is here published:
"tor ten years have suffered tho
torments OF tie damned and have been
auseless Invalid; to-day am well and
hearty man, free from almost every
touch o, pain. don't think man ever
suffered more acute and constant agony
than have sin e lSS The rheuma-
tism started then in my right knee.
and after weeks Of suffering ia bed
was at last relieved sulfic emily to
arise, but it was only to get about on
crutches for I've years, the ailment
having settled IN the joint. Despite
constait eatlnent of the most emf
nent physicians the rheumatism grew
worse. and for the last four years |
have been ,ompelled to go about bent
half toward tue ground. In the winter
OF iS;A-Jl. after the rheumati m had
settled into its most chronic form,
went to Kansas City upon advice Of my
b other, and for six weeks | was treat.
I'd in one Of the largest and best-known
1ispensaries of that city but without
the slightest Improvement Before I
came home secured strong galvanio
battery: this | used for months with
the same result. In August, 1892, I
went to st. Louis, and there conferred
with the widely known DR.. Mudd, OF
hospital practice fame, and DIR. kale,
of the city hospital. None OF them
would take my case with any hope OF
a!fording me more, than temporary re.
lief and so | came home, weak, doubled
with pain, helpless and respondent.
about this time my attention was
called to the account of a remarkable
cure OF locomotor ataxia. rheuma-
tism and paralysis by-Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. | ordered
some of the pills as an experiment.
When began to take them, tho
rheumatism had developed into a
phase OF paralysis: rny leg, from the
thigh down was cold all the time and
could not be Kept warm. In short
time the pills were gone, and 50 was
the cane. | was able to attend to the
duties of my office, to get about as a
well and strong man. | was free from
restful nights sleep, something | had
practically and, firmly believe, er.
manently cured of my terrible and
agonizing ailment No magician of
the Far East ever wrought the mira
Gle with his wand that DR.. Williams
Pink Pill did for me-

ton Of doubt, Mr.. Woodson made the
