A STORY FROM NEW JERSEY
WHICH WILL INTEREST
EVERYONE.
A Man Who was Cured Of Rheumatism
And Paralysis After Suffering for
Twenty-Six Years.

From the Philadelphia RecoM.)
A very interesting story comes from
Cape May c. H., N. j. The chief char.
acter in the story is John L. Steel, who
has lived in that town for thirty years,
and is one of the best known men in Cape
May County. TO a reporter, Mr. Steel
said: Certainly, I'll tell you the story
am "a years old and was first at, acked
with the rheumatism twenry-six year, ago. |
suffered all that mortal man could stand. |
The medicine and the doctor,ng ! have
had has cost me at the very least $4,000,
but they were all like 50 much water in
my case.
"One day, in 1882, was taken with a
chill up and down the back, my leg gave
out at the knee and fell like log.
Never shall forget the agony suffered.
l thought l would go crazy. could not
walk, and my legs were all drawn up at
the knee and felt as if dead. twas with
out feeling and without power. called
in DIR. Alexander Young, one of our
town physicians. He cupped and blister
ed me without success. l went to DIR.
Downs, a physician of the old school,
DR.. Downs took my leg and pulled it out
straight, then he laid it over the arm of
the sofa on which l was reclining. and
from it suspended two bricks. The pain
was almost unbearable. The battery was
applied, and the result was that was
just As bad as ever. As last resource l
went to the late DR.. Pancoast then of
Jefferson. College. He pronounced my
case chronic rheumatism, and said that he
could relieve the pain but could not cure
me. He gave me sarsaparilla and iodide
of potassium, of which | had all eady
taken IA quantity. | felt that was GO
ing from bad to worse. The pains were
growing more intense, my body was grow
ing weaker and had to crawl up stairs
as a sheet, and at times nearly frozen to
death. | slept under enough covering to
crush me, and was cold then. l had to
lift my leg around wherever wanted it,
but at night it would twitch and jerk as
though possessed by some fiendish power.
Well, to cut long story short, read in
the Philadelphia Record of man who
had beeu cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The story appear
ed to be an authentic account, and with a
ray of hope sent for two boxes Of Pink
Pills. This was about six months ago.
AS soon as l began to take them they be-
gan to do me good. l felt as though l
had been given fresh blood and new mus
cles. When the two boxes were finished
sent for six more, and under this treat
mcnt continued to improve. l began to
regain the use of my limbs and could
soon get around with the aid of a crutch
and cane. Now l have discarded the
crutch. l have an excellent appetite and
feel tirst-class all over.
Why Pink Pills havedone more for me
than all the rest of the medicine and doc
tors put together, and my recovery is due
solely to them. have taken in all twenty
boxes of Pink Pills and you can see for
yourself what they have accomplished.
Sniting the action to the words MIR.
Steel placed his cane over his shoulder
and walked off like man who had never
had an hours sickness in his life. Some
idea Of the severity of his case can be had
from the fact that his left leg has been
shortened nearly an inch by the ravages
of the disease. The following affidavit
was made before John Spalding, Justice
of the Peace, who has known Mr.. Steel
during his entire illness.
Sworn and subscribed before me this
26th day of May A. d. 1893.
JOHN SPALDING,
Justice of the Peace.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not a pa
tent medicine in the sense that name i'm
plies. They were first compounded as
prescription, and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. So
great was their efficacy that it was deem
ed wise to place them in reach of all.
They are now manufactured by the DR..
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec.
tady, N. T., and Brockvl,le, Ont, and are
sold in boxes (never in loose form by the
dozen or hundred, and the public are
cautioned against numerous limitations
sold in this shapc)at 80 cents box, or
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had OF all
druggists or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams Medicine Co. from either adj
dress. The price at which these pills are
sold makes a course of treatment inexpen-
sive as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment
