Judicial circles. The Judge is well known
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which go to make Kentucky gen.

About six years ago the bodily troubles
which finally caused his retirement at n time
when his mental faculties were in the zenith
OF their strength, began their encro rchneut
upon his naturally strong constitution. A
few days ago n Kentucky Post Reporter

tism. slight at first, but soon developing into
Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with
ncute shooting pains in the hips. gradually
extending downward to my feet.

tually lost all power of my legs, and then tho

strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly,
but it was the disordered condition of my
liver that was, l felt. gradually wearing my

remedies had been tried without avail. and
there was nothing more for me 10 do but re-
sign myself to fate.

almost entirely by stimulants until April,

marvellous, and could soon eat heartily, a
thing had not done for years. The liver
began almost instnntaneously to perform its
functions, and hos done so ever since
Without doubt, the pills saved my life, and,
