[From the Mt. Sterling qll) Republicans

from the Mt Sterling Oily Republican,
Few men are held in higher esteem bv
tnelr IelloW-toWnspeople than James w.
! STOUT, OF Rlply, Ill, and it is due, no doubt,
partly to this popularity that the record of
the case has created such widespread inter.
est. While his experience is not without
an equal, yet it has been sufficiently remark
able to demand the attention of thousands
OF people in Illinois, among whom are mum.
bered some of the most eminent physicians.
In January, 1893, Mr.. Stout was stricken
with what was then believed to be sciatic
rheumatism, and in short time was barely
able to hobble around on crutches, and It
seemed to his friends that his DAYS were
numbered. To-day he is strong, hearty
looking man for 100 puonds
How this wonderful change was brought
about is most interesting as told to a repre-.
sentative Of the Republican by Mr.. Stout
himself
81 was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism
and lumbago in January, $685. The sciatic
nerve on the right side became affected in
the hip, running down to the ankle and
across the small of the back to the left side,
and soon my whole system became afflicted,
causing me the most excruciating pain. In
a very short time become totally unable to
attend to any business whatever, and the
disease rapidly growing worse had to take
to my bed, where I lay suffering almost con-
tinuously for months the most agonizine
torture, scarcely being able to move or be
moved. At one time lay for six weeks fat
on my back, the slightest movement causing
me such pain as almost to throw me into
commissions. Icannot begin to express to
you the intense pain suffered. ] was drawn,

left side; lost my appetite, had no desire for
food, and what little did eat could not di-
gest the digestive organs failing to perform
their duty, adding greatly to my already pre-
cari0us condition. For weeks at time I
was unable to eat or sleep, suffering all the
time most intensely and at times fearing
would lose my reason, and would have well
coined death to relieve me of my sufferings.
81 consulted with local physicians and
some Of the most eminent specialists of the
larger cities throughout the country, some
treating me for one thing and some for an.
other, but without effect, and received no
elief whatever. One physician told me l
had double curvature of the spine and would
eventually become paralyzed. Ispent hun
dreds of dollars in the short time I was
afflicted without receiving the least benefit
My friends all thought that there was nc
hope for me whatever and said that must
die, and I, myself, had almost given up in
despair, when, in September, 1893, about
eight months after was first afflicted, nv
attention was called to DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Without much hope,
at once sent to G. F.. Hickey & Co., Drug
gists, Mt. Sterling, ILL.,, and procured some
Of the pills and Immediately began taking
them. Before long became aware of great
change for the better in my almost hopeless
condition. My appetite came back and my
digestive organs performed their usual
functions properly. took some more and
grew rapidly better-could sit up in chair
and my body began to straighten out; con-
tinued the treatment and in short time was
able to be about on crutches My recovery
from that time on was very rapid and assured.
My right leg, which before commenced this
treatment, was numb and dead, now expe-
rienced a pricking, tingling sensation. I
was enabled to throw away my crutches
and walk upright once more among my fell
lows, better man physically than ever be-

now weigh 168, more that ever weighed at
any time in my life. Yes, sir, lay my re-
covery entirely to Pink Pills''
