tFron, the Hansas CITY T1m,s.,
The people of Rich Hill, Mo. and vi
cinity, 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 NJ. Woodson, now postmaster at
Panama, and brother of ex.State In
spector of Mines, c. c. Woodson, of
this city. The people of Rich Hill where
he formerly resided, and of his foesent
home, remember we'll the bent form,
m;sshapen almost from the semblance
of man, which has painfully bowed its
head half to earth and 1abored snail

Strengthened to it's full height, threw
away the heavy butt of cane which for
years had been its only support from
total helplessness, and walked erect,
firmly, unhcsitatingiy 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 a
Times reporter, 1t is here published

agony than I have since 1884. The
rheumatism started then in my right

worse, and for the last four years l
have been compelled to go about bent
half toward the ground. IN the winter
of 1890-9l, after the rheumatism had
settled into its most chronic form,
went to Kansas City upon advice of
my brother, and for six weeks I was
treated in one of the largest and best
known dispensaries of that city, but
without the slightest Improvement.

About this time my attention was
called to the account of a remarkable
cure by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

of the pills as an experiment. When I
began to take them, the rheuma atism

something I had not known for ten
years. To-day am practically, and,
firmly believe, permanently cured of
my terrible and agonizing ailfnent.
No magician of the Far East ever
wrought the miracle with his wand
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills did for
me-"
To verify the story beyond question
of doubt Mr.. Woodson made the fol-
lowing affidavit:
