In the mnllh OF May. 1894, l was seized
with what the medical fraternity pro-
nOunced scIatic rheumatism.
THE disease was flrst felt IN the hin

Within II short time the whole lower
extremity was affected and became ter
rIbly swollen, and at times the pain
which was almost u~nheurublc extend
cd up Into the shoulder. / consulted
the best physicians and specialists In tn,
country, some Vr whom treated me sonie-
time, but 10 no successful purpose. I
used various patent medicines and linI-
mOnts ~ %lde recommendation. but
none OF them gave relief. ] worried
along this way for some months, being
unable TO work and at times unable to
move. l became restless at night and
could not sleep, The disease seemed
10 affect my heart and 1t was utterly
impossible 10 lie on my left side on ac-
count OF the seriousness OF the pain at
tbs heart.
MY condition seemed a hopeless one
and | was much discouraged, when by
chance ] happened tn read an account
IN the Wheeling ln]te1iGencer OF the
wonderful cure OF n person afflicted like
myself. that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People had effected. This was
some time In the month OF December.

gan TO use them. a change commenced

surely bring the malady back, but such
was not the case.
II suppose the pills had put my sys-
tenn In such a healthful condition that

fectS whatever. For seven months pre-
Vsous to taking the pills I had no appe-
tltc and became much emaciatrd. I had
no strength and fset more deRh than

The parts Of my body most affected

to the as " they were in contact with q
red hot stove.
II continued to take the pills, until
l felt entirely cured. To-day l am a we'll
and sound n Tho pills not only
cured my rheumatism. but drove that
troublesome pain from my heart as
well. For more than a year now | have
not been troubled In the slightest with
either maiady, or any other for that
matter. l am n strong mar and per-
FORM US much manual labor as any
farmer. Why. just this very day /

no mistake about It. The pills cured
me and I know 1t. I tell this only for
the benefit OF my fellow men, and hope
that all thus afflicted viii rot endure
long suffering. but get the pills and
use them at once. They not only give
relief, but they cure"
