For Ten Years Cripple-To- Day Q
Well and Hearty Man.
(From tho kansas CITY wines.

(From the Kansas City Times.)
The people of Rich Hill, Mo-, and
vicinity, have recently been startled
by seeming miracle of healing. For
years one of the best known men in
Bates and Vernon counties has been
Mark NJ. Woodson, now pos tmaster Mt
Panama, and brother of ex-State In
spector of Mines G. c. Woodson of
this city. The people Of Rich Hill,
where he formerly resided, and of his
present home, remember well the
bent form, misshapen almost from the
semblance of man, which has pain
fully bowed its head half to earth
and labored snail-like across the walks
season after season. and when one day
last month it Strengthened to its full
height, threw away the heavy butt of
cane which for years had been its
only support from total hclplessness,
and walked erect, firmly, unhesitat-
ingly about the two cities, people
looked and wondered. The story of
the remarkable case has become tho
marvel of the two counties Exactly
rs Mr.. Woodson told it to Times re-
porter, it is here published:
For ten years | have suffered the
torments Of the damned and have been
y useless invalid; to-day am well
ind hearty man, free from almost
every touch of pain. l don't think
man ever suffered more acute and
constant agony than have since 1884
The rheumatism started then in my
right knee, and after weeks OF suffer-
ing in bed l was at last relieved suf-
fciently to arise, but it was only to
get about on crutches for five years,
the ailment having settled in the
joint Despite constant treatment OF
the most eminent physicians the
rheumatism grew worse, and for the
last four years have been compelled
to go about bent half toward the
ground. In the winter of ls00-0l, after
the rheumatism had settled into its
most chronic form, l went to Kansas
City upon advice of my brother, and
for six weeks was treated in one of
the largest and best known dispen-
saries of that city, but without the
slightest improvement. Before came
home secured strong galvanic bat
terry, this used for months with the
same result In August. 1892, l went
to St Louis, and there conferred with
the widely known DIR. Mudd of hospi-
tai practice fame, and DIR. Kale of the
city hospital. None of them would
take my case with any hope Of afford
ing me more than temporary relief,
and so came home, weak, doubled
with pain, helpless and respondent
"A bout this time my attention was
called to the account of n remarkable
cure by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People of locomotor ataxia, rheu-
matism and paralysis. / ordered some
of the pills as an experiment When
| began to take them the rheumatism
had developed into a phase OF paraly-
sis; ny leg from the thigh down was
cold all the time and could not be
KEPT warm. In short time the pills
were gone and so was the cane. i was
able to attend to the duties Of my
office, to get about as a well and
strong man. was free from pain and

practically, and, firmly believe, per-
manently cured of my terrible and
agonizing ailment. No magician of
the far east ever wrought the miracle
with his wand that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills did for me-"
