OE THE EAST.
The Remark able Experience Of Po.t
Master Woodsou, of Pauams. Mo-
For Ten Years Cripple-Te-Day
Well and Hearty Man.
Fron the Kansa, CITY TYmes1
The people OF Rich Hill, Mo-, and vicinity
have recently been startled by a seeming
miracle OF healing For years ono OF the
best known men in Bates and Vernon coun-
ties mas been Mark NJ. woodson, now post
master OF Panama, and brother OF ex-state
Inspector OF Mines, @. C. woodson. OF this
city. Tho people Of Rich Hill. where he
formerly resided, and OF his present home,
remember we'll the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblance OF man. which
has painfully bowed its head half 10 earth
and labored snail-like across the walks
season after season, and when one day last
month 1t Strengthened to 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 re-
markable case has become the marvel OF the
two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Woodson told
1t to Times reporter, it Is here published
I For ten years have suffered tho tor
ments OF the damned and have been use
less invalid; to-day am n we'll and hearty
man, free from almost every touch OF pain
I 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 bel
was Mt last relieved sufficiently to arise. but
II was only to get about on crutches for hvo
years, the ailment having settled in tho
joint. Despite constant treatment OF tho
most eminent physicians the rheumatism
grew worse, and for the last four years I
have been compelled to go about bent half
toward the ground. In the winter of 1890
81, after the rheumatism had settled into its
upon advice OF my brother, and for six
weeks I was treated in one OF the largest
and best known dispensaries OF that city,
but without the slightest improvement.
Before came home I received strong ga
vantc battery, this / used for months with
the same result. In August, 1892, went
TO st. Louis, and there conferred with tn,
widely known DR.. Mudd Of hospital prac-
ttce fame. and DR.. Kalo of the city Hospital.
None Of them would take my case with any
hope Of affording me more than temporary
relief, and so 1 came home, weak. doubled
with pain, helpless and respondent.
About this time my attention was called
to the account OF a remarkable cure 10y DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People o,
locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and ptra
ysis / ordered some nf the pills as an
experiment. When / began to take them,
the rheumatism had developed into phase
OF paralysis my leg from the thigh down
was cold all the time and could not be kent
warm, In short time the pills were gone,
and so was the cane. was able to atteni
to the duties OF my office, to get about rs a
we'll and strong man. 1 was free from pain
and l could enjoy sounl and rest:ul
nights sleep, something I had not known
for ten years. To-day am practically, AMI,
firmly believe, permanently curcd OF my
terrible and agonzing ailment. No ma
gician OF the Far East ever wrought the
miracle with his wand that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills did for me-"
To verify the story hey ond all quest ON o,
