The Hon. John NJ. Rice, of Louisa, Law

two Years retired from active life as C1m-
inal and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth judi

he has for m2lv Years served his native
county and state il the legislature at Frank
fort and at Washington, and, until his retire
ment was noted figure in political and
Judicial circles. The Judge is well known
throughout the state and possesses the best
qualities which 60 . make a Kentucky gen
tleman honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodily troubles
which finally caused his retirement at
time when his mental faculties were in the
zenith Of their strength, began their en-
crOalhment upon his naturally strong con-
5titUtiOn. \ few days ago a Kentucky Post
reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the
following words related the history of the
causes that lea TO his retirement. 1T is

Of rheumatism, slight at first, but soon de-
velOpng into Sciatic rheumatism, which
began first with acute shooting pains in the
aips, gradually extending downward to my
feet.
My condition became so bad that | even.
uallv lost all power Of my legs, and then
my whole system, became deranged. I tried
the treatment Of many physicians, but re-
eeiving no lasting benefit from them, had
recourse to patent remedies, trying one Kind
afteranOther until believe there were none

I'm 1855, attended by my son John, l

impossible for me to give attention to my
duties. In 1871, | went TO the Siiurlan
Springs, Wallzesha, Wis. | stayed there
some time but without Improvement
Again | 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 felt gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up. all kinds OF
remedies had been tried without avail and
there was nothing more for me to do but re-
! sign myself to fate.

almost entirely by stimulants until April
1898. One day John saw an 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

prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. /,

life and while [ do not crave notOriety !
cannot refuse to testify to their worth
The reporter callej upon Mr.. Hughes, the
Louisa druggist, who informed him that

popular since Judge Rice used them with

have found relief in their use.
