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 VINO
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 a prominent liquor
dealer at 256 Brannan street, and 1t 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 alomst perfect
health
1t was year ago that Mr.. 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 i'll 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 i'll attendance. He had about
despaired of ever gaining release from
the clutches of the frightful disease,
when one morning his attention was
drawn to an advertisement III morn
ing paper, of a remedy for rheuma-
tism. The story of what succeeded
this casual glance at medicine adver-
tisement can best be told in the words
of Mr.. Keenan, himself, who, when
asked for an explanation of his SEEM
ingly miraculous cure, gave the fol-
lowing account:
at seemed to me that after all the
weeks of terrible suffering that | had
endured that there could not possibly
| be a relief. | had no faith i'll patent
medicines, and when | saw in paper
the advertisement of Williams Pink
Pills [ was induced to try them only
i'll sheer desperation. [ did not feel
any relief until l began taking the Sec
ond box of the pills, but then the pain
began gradually to leave me, my appe-
tite became better, and l could sleep
soundly throughout the night without
experiencing any of the jerking pains
that had before kept me awake. l con-
tinued to take the pills and it was only
| short time until the rheumatism had
entirely left my hands, and l 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 had not felt the least sign Of its
return, and | can truthfully say that
now enjoy the free use of my limbs
as ever l did before the rheumatism at
tackled me-
81 have taken the pains to recon-
mend Williams Pink Pills to num-
Der of my friends who are suffering

no other remedy that will afford such
quick and permanent relief from rheu-
matism as do Williams Pink Pills,
and l only hope that many others may
be brought to see and feel the high cura-
tive powers that the pills possess. -
