From the Covington, KY, Post.l
Hon. John NJ. Rice of Louisa, Law
renee county, KY, has for the past
two years retired from active life as
Criminal and Circuit judge of the
Sixteenth judicial district of Ken
lucky.
He has for many years served his
native country and state in the legis-
lature at Frankfort and at Washing
ton and, until his retirement was n
noted figure in political and judicial
circles The judge is well known
throughout the state and possesses
the best qualities which go to make a
Kentucky gentleman honored where
ever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily
troubles which finally caused his re-
tirement at time when his mental
faculties were in the zenith of their
strength, began their encroachment
upon his naturally strong constitu-
ton. A few days ago a Kentucky
Post reporter called upon Judge Rice,
who in the following words related
the history of the causes that led to
his retirement: 1T is just about six
years since l had an attack of rheuma-
tism, slight at first, but soon develop
ing 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 blad-
der and in fact, my whole system, be.
came deranged. tried the treatment
of many physicians, but receiving no
lasting benefit from them. / had re-
course to patent remedies, trying one
kind after another until / believe
there were none had not sampled.
I'm 1888, attended bp my son John,
went to Hot Springs, Ark. I Twas
not much benefited by some months
stay there when / returned home.
My liver was actually dead, and a dull
persistent pain in it's region kept me
on the rack all the time In 1890
was reappointed Circuit Judge, but il
was impossible for me to give my at
tention to my duties In 1891, l went
to the Silurian Springs, Waukesha,
Wis l stayed there some time, but
without improvement
C"Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The
muscles of my limbs were now re
duced by atrophy to mere strings.
Sciatic pains tortured me terribly,
but it was the disordered condition Of
my liver that was 1 felt gradually
wearing my life away. Doctors gave
me up, all kinds of remedies had beer
tried without avail, and there was
nothing more for me to do but resign
myself to fate.
Il fingered on in this condition sus.
tanned almost entirely by stimulants
until April 1893. One day John saw an
account of DIR. 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. twas, ]
think. in the first week in May the pills
arrived 1 remember l was not ex-
pected to live for more than three or
four days at the time. The effect OF the
pills, however, was marvellous and
could soon eat heartily, thing had
not done for years The liver began
almost instantan eously to perform it;
functions, and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while do not crave notoriety
cannot refuse to testify to their worth. >
The reporter called upon Mr..
Hughes, the Louisa druggist who in.
formed him that DR.. Williams Pink

found relief in their use.
