 At 33 Alma street, South London, lives MT. E. J. Powell, gentleman who has resided in London and vicinity for about six years. He has been sufferer since his youth with rheumatism in its worst form, but now the haggard face and almost crippled form of year ago have given away to an appearance of health and vigor.
 Hearing of this, a reporter called on MT. Powell and asked him to relate his ex- perience.
 ''The first time I really felt any rheu- matic trouble,p said MT. Powell, "was in 1872. A twinge of pain caught me, but passed away in an instant. 1 did not know what it was. After that was attacked at various periods, and in 1876 1 began to grow alarmed. In 1878 I suffered from sci atica in the left leg.
 s'For q number of years afterward con- tinued to grow worse and worse. In the summer of 1884 experienced the pain con- stantly. It was all day and at all times. took the electric treatment steadily for sev eral weeks, but it did me not the slightest good.
 IA year ago last winter was seized with a pain and for fourteen weeks 1 never left the house. The only way in which could be moved was by being wheeled around h easy chair. What l suffered during that period no one but myself can ever realize. Mir. Marshall, of whose case you have heard, is an acquaintance of mine, and said he could not say whether Pink Pills would cure rheumatism or not, but they were good for the blood, anyway, and at least it would do me no harm to try half dozen boxes.
 ''So did; bought six boxes, took four and received no benefit that I could recog- niZe, but while taking the filth l noticed that for period of three or four days l felt no pain. 1 supposed twas a temporary re- taxation due to natural causes. However, it gave me some hope to finish the sixth box. Then knew was getting better much better. The pain which had been constant became intermittent and less se- were. My friends and family told me that l was beginning to look like another man. My face, which had begun to wear a drawn expression, common with people who are suffering, commenced to show better color My system was being toned up. Inspired with increased hope purchased six more boxes from Dr. Mitchell, the druggist, and continued to take them, and with each box l realized more and more that it was a cure. 1 used up thirteen boxes in all, and when the thirteen was finished had not a symptom of pain for three months.
 "Now," concluded MT. Powell, ''you have my experience. l know what l was; l knoW1kt am. know that from boy hood( been victim of malignant Th which has been torture the

 II, but in vain; and know that PrnM lave succeeded where everything else has& led and that they have brought me back health and happiness. Therefore l ought to be thankful, and l am thank ful.o And MT. Powell's intense earnest. ness of manner could admit of no doubt as co his gratitude and sincerity. "You may ask Rev. Mir. Mcintyre of the Askin Street Methodist church, or Rev. G. A. Andrews, B. A., pastor of the Lambeth circuit, whether 1 was a sick man or not,p were his parting words.
 The reporter dropped in on Rev. C. E. McIntyre at the parsonage, s2 Askin street. 'I know Mir. Powell weil,' said the reverend gentleman, when questioned. "He is an esteemed parishoner of mine and is attending the Askin Street church again.' a-
 ''Do you remember Mir. Powell's illness year ago last wint terf''
 'Yes; he had very bad attack of rheu- matism which laid him up for long time. He had to be wheeled around the house in 6 chair. Now be appears to be well man. l heard he had been cured by Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills. Mir. Powell is, in my opinion, most conscientious person, and any statement he would make would be perfectly reliable.' ''
 MT. B. A. Mitchell, the well-known druggist, upon whom the reporter next called, said: "I know of Mi. Powell's cure aud it is every word true. have sold
  ing that they always gives satisfaction have no hesitation in recommending them as perfect blood builder and nerve re- storer, curing such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, ccomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous ifead- ache, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the after effects of la grippe, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such es scrofula, chronic cry sipelss, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexiops, and are specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, and in men they eff: :ct a radical cure in ali cases arising from men, tai worry, over work or excesses of what ever nature.'
