Argus, AlPena, Mich: As is we'll
known by many of; the people of Alpena
county, MRS. J.. M. Todd, Of Long Rapids
township has been a great sufferer and
a cripple for many years with that ter
rible affection, rheumatism. Some two
years ago we became somewhat interest.
ed in Mrs. Todd's case, and, in common
with Alpena people, rejoice that this
great sufferer has at last found relief,
and is now in a fair way to a permanent
cure. Knowing of the substantial bene-
fit Mrs. Todd had received, and that she
was at last regaiping her health and
strength, we sought to hear her story
from her own lips, and here give
it to our readers, in her own language.
"As you know, my name is Mrs. Jas.
M. Todd, and for the benefit of suffer.
ing humanity, I wish through the Argus
to tell the world at large, what may seem
to them, as we'll as myself, a miracle.
"Eight years ago / was afflicted with
what doctors called nervous postration.
The following spring | was taken with
rheumatism, commencing first in my
arms and hands, leaving them it would
go directly to my head and heart. I
cannot described what I suffered. The
only way I could get my breath was to
sit where the air would blow directly on
me-, Thus I lived and suffered for two
years, when the afflictlon left my arms
and went directly to my feet. Again T
was taken to doctors, and they said I had
inhammatory rheumatism in it's worst
form. My feet were so swollen that it
was impossible for me to wear anything
upon them, my hands were drawn out of
shape. and I could only sit up a few
minutes at a time, and often wished
death would end my suffering.
''Ihen another year of misery, doctor

I could hear of, when, d last resort, I
went to Ann Arbor, where I could have
the advice of not only one, but many
physicians. They pronounced my trou-

treated by one OF our best physicians,

less as a child, and after lying down
awhile, I could not raise my arms to
cover myself, nor speak until shaken or
lifted up. One Of my limbs was entirely
helpless, and the skin was dry and
cracked until it would bleed.
"From a tall, straight woman of over
five feet, I was drawn all out Of shape,

eighteen months had been held up by
one on each side of me to dress or un-

attention was called to a case similar to
mine cured by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. I was urged to try them and
at last did so. In three days after I com.

and dress myself, and after taking them
six weeks I went home and commenced
working. I continued taking the pills
until now I begin to forget my crutches
and can go up and down steps without
aid. I am truly a living wonder, walking
out of doors without assistance.
.Now, if l can say anything to induce
those who have suffered as I have, to try
Pink Pills, I shall gladly do So. If other
