How Stout Got Stout.

A RHEUMATIC SUFFERER,
All But Paralyzed-Lost His Flesh and
Expected to Die-How He Got
Well and Strong.

Few men are held in higher esteem
by their fellow townspeople than Jas,
W. Stout Of Riply, H., and it is due no
doubt partly to this popularity that the
record OF the case has created such wide
spread interest. While his experience
is not without an equal, yet, it has been
sufficiently remarkable to demand the
attention OF thousands of people in Hi
nois, among whom are numbered some
of the most eminent physicians.
In January, 1898, Mr.. Stout was
stricken with what was then believed to
be sciatic rheumatism, and in short
time was barely able to hobble around
on crutches, and it seemed to his friends
that his (days were numbered. To-day
he is strong, hearty looking man OF
100 pounds.
How this wonderful change was
brought about is mosEinteresting as
told to representatives. the Republican
by Mr.. Stout himself:
II was afflicted with sciatic rheuma-
tism and lumbago in January, 1898.
The sciatic nerve on the right side be-
came affected in the hip, running down
to the ankle and across the small of the
back to the left side, and soon my whole
system became afflicted, causing me the
most excruciating pain. In very short
time l become totally unable to attend
to any business whatever, and the dis
ease rapidly growing worse had to take
to my bed, where l lay suffering almost
continuously for months the most agon-
lzing torture, scarcely being able to move
or be moved. At one time lay for six
weeks fiat on my back, the slightest
movement causing me such pain as al
most to throw me into commissions. |
cannot begin to express to you the in
tense pain | suffered. / was drawn, by
the severeness of the malady, over to
the left side; lost my appetite, had no
desire for food, and what little / did eat
! could not digest, the digestive organs
failing to perform their duty, adding
greatly to my already precarious con-
dition. For weeks at time | was I'M
able to eat or sleep, suffering all the
time most intensely and at times fear
ing l would lose my reason, and would
have welcomed death to relieve me of
my sufferings.
I 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
Tor another, but without effect, and ! re-
ceived no relief whatever. One physi-
clan told me had double curvature of
the spine and would eventually become
paralyzed. | spent hundreds OF dollars
in the short time was afflicted without
receiving the least benefit. Ny friends all |
thought that there was no hope for me
whatever and said that l must die, and
l, myself, had almost given up in des-
pair, when in September, 1898, about
eight months after l was first afflicted,
my attention was called to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for pale People. Without
much hope, at once sent to G. F. Hickey
& Co., Druggists, Mt. Sterling, ILL.,,
and procured come of the pills and i'm
mediately began taking them. Before
long became aware o. a great change
for the better in my almost hopeless con-
dition. My appetite came back and my
digestive organs performed their usual
functions properly. / took some more
and grew rapidly better-could sit up in
a chair and my body began to straighten
out; continued the treatment and in a
short time was able to be about on
clutches. My recovery from that time OH
was very rapid and assured. Ny right |
leg, which before | commenced this
treatment, was numb and dead now ex-
perienced pricking, tinging sensation.
Twas enabled to throw away my crutches
and walk upright once more among
my fellows, better man physically than
ever before. When first taken by the
disease weighed lG0 pounds, was re-
duced to ll5; l now weigh 1855, more
than ever weighed at any time in my
ME. Yes, sir, lay my recovery entire
ly to Pink Pills."
