Seahus Aouay Ohscatned by Disease
How He Conquered Rheumatism
A Story Full of Interest.
From the Examiner, San Francisco, Call
There is at least one happy man in
San Francisco today-one man who
can enjoy, despite the fact of his being
sixty years of age and of corpulent
build, the full and free use of all the
powers of mind and body.
James Keenan, is prominent liquor
dealer at 256 Brannan street, and it is
he who is now landing those who have
restored him from bed of pain to his
former youthful activity. Mr.. Keenan,
had, to within year ago, been blessed
with the enjoyment of almost perfect
health.
1t was year ago that MI. Keenan,
first suffered the hand of disease to
take hold upon him. At that time he
was stricken down by an aggravated
attack of rheumatism, which robbed
him of the use of his lower limbs and
of both his hands. For fully six weeks
he lay on his couch, helpless victim
of the dread disease, and all the time
he suffered intense pain in the affected
portions Of his body. He could not
move himself upon his bed, and all
that he ate had to be fed to him by
those in attendance. He had about de-
SPARED of ever gaining release from
the clutches of the frightful disease,
when one morning his attention was
drawn to an advertisement in morn
ing paper, of remedy for rheumatism.
The story of what succeeded this causal
glance at a medicine advertisement
can best be told in the words of Mr..
Keenan, himself, who, when asked for
an explanation of his seemingly mirac-
culous cure, gave the following &C.
count:
1T seemed to me that after all the
weeks of terrible suffering that I had
endured there could not possibly be
relief. had no faith in patent medi-
cines, and when 1 saw in a paper the
advertisement of Williams Pink Pills
l was induced to try them only in sheer
desperation. did not feel any relief
until began taking the second box of
the pills, but then the pain began
gradually to leave me, my appetite be-
came better, and could sleep soundly
throughout the night without exper-
fencing any of the jerking pains that
had before kept me awake. l contin-
ued to take the pills and it was only
short time until the rheumatism had
entirely left my hands, and I had SO
far recovered the use of my legs as to
be able to walk about the house with
out assistance. In about two weeks
more was entirely free from the dis.
ease, but took two more boxes of the
pills as precaution against return Of
the rheumatism. From the time that
the last trace of the disease left me. !
have not felt the least sign of it's re-
turn, and l can truthfully say that l
now enjoy as free use of my limbs as
ever did before the rheumatism at
tackled me.
81 have taken the pains to recon-
mend Williams Pink Pills to a num-
Der of my friends who are suffering
from rheumatism. think I know of
no other remedy that will afford such
quick and permanent relief from rheu-
w w lllldIuo iuh lllby
and 1 only hope that. many others may
be brought to see and feel the high
curative powers that the pills possess.
