There is at least one happy man in San Fran
cisco to-day-one man who can enjoy, despite
the fact of his being so years of age and of cor
pulent build, the full and free of all the
powers of mind and body.
James Keenan, is prominent liquordealer
at 256 Brannan street, and it is he who is now
lauding those who have restored him from
bed of pain to his former youthful activity!
Mr.. keenan, had, to within a year ago, been
blessed with the enjoyment of almst perfect
health. He had never known what it was to
be confined for weeks at q time upon a couch
of painful disease, nor even to lose the vigorous
action of mind or limb which had enabled him
through the many years of his business life to
perform his daily tasks unaided and unad-
vised.
Itw year ago that Mr.. keenan, first suf-
fered 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
tions 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 despaired of ever gaining release
from the clutches of the frightful disease, when
one morning his attention was drawn to
advertisement, in morning paper: OF rem
edy for rheumatism. The story of what sue
ceeded this casual glance at a medicine adver-
tisement can best be told in the words of Mr..
Keenan, himself, who, when asked for an ex-
gave the following account:
at seemed to me that after all the weeks of
terrible suffering that l had endured there
could not possibly be relief 1 had no faith
in patent medicines, and when saw in paper
the advertisement of Williams Pink Pills 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 through
out the night without experiencing any of the
jerking pains that had before kept me awake.
/ continued to take the pills and it was only a
short time until the rheumatism had entirely
left my hands, and had so far recovered the
use of my legs as to be able to walk about the
house without assistance. In about two weeks
more was entirely free from the disease, but
/ took two more boxes of the pills as precau-
ton against a return of the rheumatism. From
the time that the last trace of the disease left
me have not felt the least sign of its return,
and can truthfully say that / now enjoy as
free use of my limbs as ever did before the
rheumatism attacked me.
al have taken the pains to recommend Will
liams' Pink Pills to number of my friends
who are suffering from rheumatism. | think
know OF no other remedy that will afford such
quick aud permanent relief from rheumatism
as do Williams Pink Pills, and I only hope
that many others may be brought to see and
feel the. high curative powers that the pills
possess"

try or abroad where they cannot be found.
