throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which go to make a Kentucky gen.

About six years ago the bodily troubles
which finally caused his retirement at a
time when his mental faculties were in the
zenith Of their strength, began their en-

stitution. Afew days ago Kentucky Post
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the
following words related the history Of the
causes that led 10 his retirement. at is

Of rheumatism. slight at first but soon de-
yeloping into S,iatic rheumatism, which
began first with acute shooting pains in the
hirs, gradually extending downward to my
feet.
Ny condition became so bad that I even

the liver, kidneys and bladder and in fact,
my whole system, became derangcd. l tried
the treatment of many physicians, but re-
! ceiving no lasting benefit from them, l had
recourse to patent remedies, trying one kind

'In 1888, attended by my son John, I
went to Hot Springs, Ark, was not much
benefited by some months stay there when
returned home. My liver was actually
dead, and a dull persistent pain in its region
kept me on the rack all the time, In 1890
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was
impossible for me to give attention TO my
duties. In 1891, l went to the Silurian
Springs, Waukesha, Wis. | stayed there
some time, but without Improvement.
Again | returned home, this time feeling
no hopes Of recovery, The muscles of my
limbs were now reduced By atrophy to nero
strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly,
but it was the disordered condition of my
liver that was | felt gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up, all kinds Of
| remedies had been tried without avail, and
there was nothing more for me to do but re
sign myself TO fate.

almost entirely by stimulants until April,
1893. One day John saw an account Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
in the Kentucky Post. This was something
new, and as one more drug after so many
others could not do so much harm, John
prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t

pills arrived. l remember | was not ex-
pected to live for more than three or four
days at the time. The effect Of the Pills,
however, was marvellous and l could soon
eat heartily, a thing | had not done for years.
| The liver began almost instantaneously to
| perform its functions, and has done so ever
since. Without doubt the pills saved my
life and while | do not crave notoriety !
| cannot refuse TO testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes, the
Louisa druggist, who informed him that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been very
popular, since Judge Rice used them with
| such benefit. He mentioned several who
have found relief in their use.
