A KENTUCKY MIRACLE.
JUDGE JOHN M. RICE 7EkLS NOW NE
WAS CURED or RHEUMATISM.
Crippled for Six Years With
sciatioa In Its Worst Form,
He Expected to Die, but Was
Saved In a Marvellous Manner,
From the Coyington, XIV. Post)

(From the Covington. Ky, Post.)
The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa.
Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for the
past two years retired from active life
as Criminal and Circuit Judge of the
Sixteenth Judicial District of Kentucky.
J 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 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 gentle
man honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his retire
ment at time when his mental facul-
ties were in the zenith of their strength.
began their encroachment upon his nat
uraIly strong constitution. A few days
ago Kentucky Post reporter called
upon Judge Rice, who in the following
words related the history of the causes
that led to his retirement: "It is just
about six years since l had an attack of
rheumatism. slight at first, but soon
developing into Sciatic 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
deranged. ] tried the treatment OF
many physicians, but receiving no last
ing benefit from them, had recourse to
patent remedies, trying one kind after
another until believe there were none
l had not sampled.
'In 1883, attended by my son John, l
went TO Hot Springs, Ark. was not much
benefited by some months stay there
when returned home. My liver was
actually dead. and dull, persistent
pain in its region kept me on the rack
all the time. In 1890 l was reappointed
circuit judge, but it was impossible for
me to give attention to my duties. In
1891 l went to the Silurian Springs,
Waukesha. Wis. l stayed there some
time, but without improvement.
Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The
muscles of my limbs were now reduced
by atrOphy to mere strings. Sciatic
pains tortured me terribly, but it was
the disordered condition of my liver
that was, l felt. gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up, all
kinds of remedies had been tried with
out avail, and there was nothing more
for ma to do but resign myself to fate.
II fingered on in this condition, sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulantS
until April. 1898. One day John saw all
account of Dr., Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People in the Kentucky Post. This
was something new, and as one more
drug after so many others could not do
so much harm, John prevailed upon me
to try the Pink Pills. 1t was, think.
in the first week in May the pills
arrived. | remember l was not expected
to live for more than three or four days
at the time. The effect of the Pills.
however, was marvellous, and l could
soon eat heartily, thing | had not done
for years. The liver began almost in
simultaneously to perform its functions,
and has done so ever since. Without
doubt the pills saved my life, and while
do not crave nOtOriety l cannot refuse
to testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon MI. Hughes,
the Louisa druggist, who informed him
that DIR. Williams Piuk Pills. have
been very popular, since Judge Rice
used them with such benefit. He men
toned several who have found relief in
their use. - = -''-I'' - : g
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfail-
ing specific for such disease as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, st.
Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
matlsm, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of the
forms of weakness either in male or
female. and all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood. DIR. Will
lams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent postpaid on receipt of price,
$50 cents a box. or boxes for S. So
they are never sold in bulk or by the
1907 by addressing DR.. Williams Medi-
