At 33 Alma street, South London.
lives Mr.. e. j. Powell, gentleman who
has resided in London and vicinity for
about six years. He has been a sufferer
since his youth with rheumatism in it's
worst form, but now tho haggard face
and almost crippled form of year ago
have given away TO an appearance of
health and vigor.
Hearing of this a reporter called on
Mr.. Powell and asked him to relate his
experience.
THE first time really felt any rheu-
matte trouble" said Mr.. Powell, "was
in 1872. A twinge Of pain caught me,
but passed away in an instant. I did
not know what it was. After That l
was attacked at various periods, and in
1876 1 began to grow alarmed. In 1878
1 suffered from sciatica in the lett leg.
"For number of years afterward I
continued to grow worse and worse. In
the summer of 1884 1 experienced the
pain constantly. 1t was all day and at
oil times. I took the electric treatment
steadily for several weeks, but it did me
not the slightest good.
IA year ago last winter / was seized
with pain and for fourteen weeks 1
never left the house. The only way in
which I could be moved was by being
wheeled around in an easy chair. What
suffered during that period no one but
myself can ever realize. M. Marshall,
OF whose ease you have heard, ia an
acquaintance Of mine, and said he could
not say whether Pink Pills would cure
rheum atism or not, but they were good
for the blood anyway, and at least it
would do me no harm to try half dozen
boxes
80 did, bought six boxes, took four
and received no benefit that l could re.
cognize, but while taking the IF h
noticed that for period of three or four
| days felt no pain. supposed it was
temporary relaxation due to natural
causes. However, it gave me some
hope to finish the sixth box. Then I
knew was getting better-much better.
The pain which has been constant be-
came intermittent and less severe NV
friends and family told me that was
beginning to look like another man.
My face which had begun to wear a
drawn expression, common with people
who are suffering. commenced to show
better color. My system was being
toned up. Inspired with increased
hope [ purchased SIX more boxes from
DR.. Mitchell, the druggist, and con-
| tinued to take them, and with each box
realized more and more that it was q
| cure. / used up thirteen boxes in all,
and when the thirteen was finished I
had not symptom of pain for three
months.
Now" concluded Mr.. Powell, "you
have my experience. 1 know what 1
was; I know what am. / know that
from boyhood have been O victim of
malignant rheumatism, which has been
a torture the last few years. know
that L have tried every remedy and been
treated by the best medical skill, but in
vain; and l know that Pink Pills have
succeeded where everything else has
failed, and that they have brought me
back health and happiness. Therefore
| ought to be thankful, and am thank
| full" And Mr.. Powell's intense earnest
ness of manner could admit of no doubt
as to his gratitude and sincerity. You
may ask Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre, of the
Askin Street Methodist Church, or Rev.
g. A. Andrews, B. A, pastor of the
Lambeth circuit, whether was sick
man or not" whore his parting words.
The reporter dropped in on Rev E.

Street Church again" do YOU re-
mem Der MIR. Powell's illness a year ago
| last winter?" Yes; he had a very bad
attack of rheumatism. which laid him
up for long time. He had to BIO
wheeled around the house in chair.
Now he appears to be we'll man. 1
heard he had been cured by DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Mr. Powell is, in
my opinion, a most conscientious per-
son, and any statement he would make
would be perfectly reliable"
Mr. b. A Mitchell, the we'll known
druggist. upon whom the reporter next
called, said: 81 know of Mr.. Powelrs
cure and 1T is every word true. I have
sold thousands of boxes of Pink Pills,
and knowing that they always give
satisfaction have no hesitation in
recon mending them as perfect blood
builder and nerve restorer, curing such
diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St.
Vitus' dance, nervous headache, nervous
prostration and the tired feeling there

diseases depending on humors in the
blood, such as scrofula, chronic cry
sipelas, etc. Pink Pills give healthy
glow to pale and sallow compilations,
and are spe cific for the troubles pc
eullar to the female system, and in men
they effect radical cure in all cases
