THE remarkable Experience Of Pos
master woodson Of Panama. Mo.
FOR Ten Years crippis-To-day
Well and Hearty Man.
r.os ,he Kansas City Timesl
The people OF Rich Hill, No, and
vicinity have recently been startled by a
seeming miracle OF healing. For years
one OF the best known men in Bates and
Vernon counties has been Mark NJ.
Woodson, now postmaster at Panama
and brother OF ex-State Inspector Of
Mines c. c. Woodson Of this city. The
people OF Rich Hill, where he formerly
resided. and Of his present home re-
member well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblance Of man,
which has painfully bowed its head half
10 cath and labored snail-like across the
walks season after season, and when one
dav last month it Strengthened 10 its full
height, threw away the heavy butt Of
cane which for years had been its only
support from total helplessness, and
walked erect, firmly, unhesitatingly
about the two cities, people looked and
wondered. The story OF the remarkable
case has become the marvel OF the two
counties. Exactly as Mr.. WoOdson told
il to a Times reporter. it IL here pub
lished:
"For ten years l have suffered tn,
torrents OF the damned and have beer
a useless invalid; to-day am a well anC
hearty man, free from almost ever,
touch Of pain. / 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 suffering in bed | was at las
relieved sufficiently to arise, but IL wa
only 70 get about on crutches for fiv'
vears, the ailment having settled in the
Joint. Despite constant treatment o.
the most eminent physicians the rheu
matism grew worse, and Tor the last ioui
wears have been compelled 10 90 aboui
bent half toward the ground. In ths
winter Of IS9O-9l after the rheumatism
had settled into its most chronic form,
went 20 Kansas City upon advice OF m.
brother, and for six weeks l was treated
in one Of the largest and best know
dispensaries of that city, but without
the slightest improvement. Before
came home / secured strong galvani'
battery: this ! used for months Will
the same result. In August, 1892,
went TO st. Louis, and there con
ferred with the widely known DR.. Mud
OF hospital practice fame and DR.
Kale Of the city hospital. None OF then
would take my case with any hope o
afioriing me more than temporary re
lief. and so | came home, weak, double
with pain, helpless and respondent.
About this time my attention wa
called TO the account OF a remarkabl
cure bv DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pal
People OF locomotor ataxia, rheumatlsr
and paralysis. | ordered some oil tn
pills as an experiment. When oega
70 take them the rheumatism had d'
yeloped into a phase OF paralysis; IN
leg from the thigh down was cold all IN
time and could not be kept warm. In
short time the pills were gone, and
was the cane. l was able to attend
the duties OF my Office, to get about as
well and strong man, was free irol
pain and could enjoy a sound and res
iul nights sleep, something 1 had NJ
known for ten years. To-day am pral
tically, and firmly believe, permanent
cured OF my terrible and agonizing al
ment. No magician of the far Ia
ever wrought the miracle with his war
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills did Il
me-"
To verify the story beyond all que
ton of doubt Mr.. Woodson made Il
following affidavit:

on my oath. state that the foiiowii
