KENTUCKY MIRACLE.
NUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW
- He WAS CURED.

Crippled for Six Years With sciatic
rheumatism in Its Worst Form-He
Expected to Die, But Was Saved in a
Marvellous Manner.
From the Covington (Ky) Postl
The Hon. John NJ. Rice of Louisa,
Lawrence county, Kentucky, has for the
past two years retired from active life as
Criminal and Circuit Judge of the Six
teenth Judicial District of Kentucky.
He has for many years served his ma
tive county and State in the Legislature
at Frankfort and at Washington, and
until his retirement was a noted figure
in political and judicial circles. The
Judge is well known throughout the
State, and possesses the best qualities
which go to make Kentucky gentleman
honored wherever he is known.
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
encroachment upon his naturally strong
constitution. A few days ago Ken
lucky Post reporter called upon Judge
Rice, who in the following words related
the history of the cause that led to his
retirement: I" 1t is just about six years
since !Sed an attack of rheumatism,
slight a,fGrst, but soon developing into
sciatc rheumatism, which began first
with acute shooting pains in the hips,
gradually extending downward to my
feet.
My condition became so bad that l
eventually lost all power of my legs, and
then the liver, kidneys and bladder, and
in fact my whole system, became de-
ranged. | tried the treatment of many
physicians; but, receiving no lasting
benefit from them, l had recourse to pat
ent remedies, trying one kind after an
other until believe there were none

In 1888, attended by my son John,
went to Hot Springs, Ark. | was
not much benefited by some months
stay there, when returned home. My
liver was actually dead, and dull per-
sistent pain in its region kept me on the
rack all the time. In 1890 was reap

ties. In 1891 | went to the Silurian
Springs, Wakeshaw, Wis. l stayed there
some time, but without improvement.
Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes OF recovery. The mus
cles OF my limbs were now reduced by
atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was the dis
ordered condition Of my liver that felt
gradually wearing my life away. Doc
tors 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.
fingered on in this condition, sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulants,
until April, 1898. One day John saw an
account of DR.. Williams Pink Pills fol
Pale People in the X, ntucky Post. This
was something new, and as one more
drug after SO many others could not dc
50 much harm, John prevailed upon me
TO try the Pink Pills. 1t was, think

saved my life, and while do not crave

their worth"
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes
the Louisa druggist, who informed hin
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills have beer
very popular since Judge Rice used then
with such benefit. He mentioned sew
