Few men are held in higher esteem by
their fellow-townspeople than James w.
Stout, OF Riply, H., and IL Is due, no doubt,
partly TO this popularity that the record OF
the case has created such widespread inter-
est While his experience IS not without
an equal, yet it has been sufficiently remark
able 10 demand the attention OF thousands
OF people in Illinois, among whom are NUNS
bercd some OF the most eminent physicians.
Ia January, 1898, MIR. Stout was stricken
with what was then believed 20 be sciatio
rheumatism, and In "a short time was barely
able 10 hobble around on crutches, and 10
seemed 20 his friends that his days wcr-.
numbered. To-day he Is strong, hearty

How this wonderful change was brought
about Is most interesting as told to repre-
sentative of tho Republican by Mr.. Stout
himself;
I'll was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism
and lumbago IN january, 1893. The sciatio
nerve on the right side became affected in
the hip, running down TO the ankle and
across the small OF the back 10 the left side,
and soon my whole system became afflicted,
causing mo the most excruciating pain. In
n very short time become totally unable TO
attend 10 any business whatever, and tho
disease rapidly growing worse had 10 take
10 my bed where lay suffering almost con-
tinuously for months the most agonizing
torture, scarcely being able TO move or DO
moved. At one time lay for six weeks fiat
on my back, the slightest movement causing
mo such pain rs almost 10 throw me into
commissions. L cannot begin TO express to
you tho intense pain suffered. was drawn,
by the severcness Of the malady, over to tho
left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for
food, and what little did eat could not di-
gest tho digestive organs failing 70 perform
their duty, adding greatly TO my already pre-
carious condition. For weeks az time
was unable TO eat or sleep, suffering all tho
time most intensely and at times fearing
would lose my reason, and would have well
coined death 10 relieve me of my sufferngs
al consulted with local physicians and
some Of the most eminent specialists Of the
larger cities throughout the country, some
treating me for one thing and some for an
Other, but without effect and received no
eief whatever. One physician told me L

eventually become paralyzcd / spent hun

afflicted without receiving the least benefit
My friends all thought that there was no
hope for mo whatever and said that must
die, and /, myself, had almost given up in
despair, when, in September 1893, about
eight months after was first afflicted, my
attention was called 20 Or, Williams Pink
