WAS CURED OF RHEUMATISM.
Crippled For Six Years With Scintl-

HelOua Manner.

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 sixteenth Judicial District of Ken
lucky.
He has for many years served his
native county and state in the legisla-
ture Mt Frankfort and ut 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 quail
ties which goeS to make 4 kentucky
gentleman honored wherever he is
known.
About six years ago the bodily trou-
bles which finally caused his retirement
Mt a time when his mentad faculties
were in the zenith of their strength, be.
gan their e~ncroachment upon his ma.
turally strong constitution. A few
days ago a Kentucky Post reporter call.
ed upon Judge Rice, who in the follow
ing words related the history of the
causes that led to his retirement. 1T
is just about six years since l had an
attack Of rheumatism, slight at first,
but soon developing into Sciatic rheu-
matism, which began first with acute
shooting pains in the hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
My condition became so bad that I
eventually lost all power of my legs,
and then the liver, kidney and bladder
and in fact, the whole system, became
deranged. l tried the treatment Of
many physicians, but receiving no last
ing benefit from them, l had resourse
to patent remedies, trying one kind at
ter another until I believe there were
none l had not sampled.
I'm 1883, attended by my son, John,
1 went to Hot Springs, Ark. l was not
much benefited by some months stay
there when 1 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 1 was reappoint-
ed Circuit Judge. but it was impossible
for me- to give attention to my duties.
In 1851, 1 went to the Silurian Springs
Wakeshaw, Wis. I stayed there some
time, but without improvement.
Again l returned home, this time
feeling no hopes of recovery. The mus
cles Of my limbs We're now reduced by
atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was the dis
ordered condition of my liver that was
I felt gradually wearing my life away.
Doctors gave me up, all kinds Of rene
dies had been tried without avail, and
there vas nothing more for me to do
but resign myself to fate.
II fingered on in this condition sus-
tanned almost entirely by stimulants
until April 1893. One day John saw an
account Of Or. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People in the kentucky Post.
This was something new, and as more
drug after so many others could
not do SO much harm, John prevailed
upon me to try the Pink Pills. 1t was,
I think, in the first week in May the
pills arrived. I remember 1 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 o eat heartily, a thing ! had
not done for years. The liver began al
most instantaneously to perform it's
functions. and has done so ever since.
Without doubt the pills saved my life
and while l do not crave notoricty 1
cannot refuse to testify to their worth.
The reporter called upon Mr.. Hughes
the Louisa druggist, who informed him
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills, have
been very popular, since Judge Rice
used them with such benefit. He men
toned several who have found relief
in their use.
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People shows that they
contain, in a condensed form. all the
clements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfail-
ing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, st. vi

tisnl, nervous headache, the after eff
fects of the Ia grippe, palpitation Of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations, all
forms of weakness either in male or fe-
male, and all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood. DR.. Will
