ease and Cured Himself.
Erom the Providence, E. l., BWUetin.)
There are but few diseases that puzzle
physicians more than rheumatism. There
are a great many theories as to its cause,
and a great many theories as to the best
means of curingit, most of which are absurd.
One of the greatest sufferers of rheuma-
tism known in the annals of medicine Ii
John G., jerks, of Riverside, r. /. He
became the victim of rheumatism while
in the army, and the disease seems to
have given him a taste of all its various
tortures. Physiciansand medicinesfailed to
give him any relief, until at last he effected
his W deliverance from the bonds of pain.
"Rheumatism!" said Mr.. jerks, when the
subject was preached by q reporter who
went to hear his story. "WeIl, L should
say I do know something about it; all
learned by actual experience, too. l first
contracted rheumatism in the army, and I
have had every variety of the affection
since, and have suffered such agony with it
that at. times death was a pleasant thought
to dwell upon. Take medicine? Enough
to stock q drug store, and none of it did me
any good. Then I began to study the dis
ease myself. ] made up my mind to get
acquainted with the enemy and fight it on
different lines. l had . theory of my own
and began to look around for a remedy that
was calculated to nave the desired effect.
One after another was tried until at last I
hit upon Pain-Killer, which applied freely.
Almost with the first application came re-
lief. Ikepton using it and the rheumatism
was soon knocked out. Neither have I had
any return of the trouble.
81 also used Pain-KiIler internally for
the ague, another war relic. It did what
pounds Of quinine couldn't do.
'Paln-Killer keeps guard in my house
against all ills, and it has never yet slept ct
its post of duty"
