ABLE STORY.
From Commercial Appeal, Memphis
Tenn.
Mr.. c. L. Farrls lives at Duke,
post office seven miles from Utica, and
at the present time he is an object of
considerable curiosity throughout the
community, for 1t was he who was
cured of a chronic case of rheumatism
OF over thirty years standing.
A Commercial-Appeal reporter hav-
ing been detailed to see Mr.. Farris,
drove out to his STOKE at Duke. Mr..
Farris, who is postmaster, was busy
working up the mail, but as soon as
he had finished he acceded very cheer
fully to an interview.
q. Mr.. Farris is 81 years of age, but one
would never suspect that he carries
SO many years upon his shoulders,
Tor he is as erect, his step is as sprlngy
and his eye as bright as If he were
only half that age. He Is a perfect
picture of hearty old manhood.
To begin with" said he, Il suppose
you want to know how 1 was cured oil
rheumatism? Well 1t was remarkable,
1 had almost given up all hope of evei
being cured. Why, sometimes L could
MT walk for weeks at a time. 1 suf-
Tered constantly and was never entire
ly free from it.
Il had tried two specialists in New
Orleans, one in Vicksburg, one in Att
lanta and two in New York and never
gained anything more from them than
temporary relief sometimes not that.
"One day l was reading a newspaper
Il forget now which one-and my att
tention was attracted by an article on
Or. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. 1t stated that they were good for
iCT sla,ka i
some of them and see If there was any
virtue In them. went to Vicksburg
two days later and purchased six
boxes, and after taking the pills ac-
cording to directions, the severe at
tack of rheumatism / was then suffer-
ing from vanished and 1 have never
felt twinge of 1t since, and that has
been over year ago.
Write you letter for publication?
why, certainly, with pleasure. 1t will
be nothing more than common hui
mainly to sufferers from rheumatism
to let them know how they can be
cured"
Mr.. Farris went to his desk and af-
ter writing few moments handed tho
reporter the following:
Duke, Kinds Co., Miss, Jan. Q, 90.
This is to certify that l contracted
rheumatism during the war, in 1862,
while member of the Thirty-eighth
N'At7SASSiPPl y. .. R., una uIl
to year ago 1 was a constant sufferer
from 1t, sometimes being unable to
walk. The first attack confined me to
my bed for three months.
About eighteen months ago 1 saw
an advertisement of DIR. williams Pink
Pills which Stated that they were a
sure cure for rheumatism. / decided
to get some of them and so the next
time 1 went to Vicksburg 1 bought six
boxes. 1 began taking them accord
ing to directions and by the time 1
had taken the six boxes, the rheuma-
.aa4sm went away and have never felt
particle of 1t since.
II know that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills are responsible for the cure 1t
has been over a year since l took the
pills and I firmly believe l am perma-
hently cured.
G. L. FARRIS."
Messrs. Terrell Bros, druggists of
Utica, corroborated in every detail the
statement and letter of Mr. Farris. and
added that since his wonderful cure,
their sale for Pink Pills had been some
thing phenomenal and a number of
people had used them not only for
rheumatism, but for extreme nervous
ness, and number of other disorders,
and all had derived great benefit from
them.
Dr. G. w. Ellis and Messrs. S. f.
Dudley & Son the other druggists of
Utica gave substantially the same tes-
timony as the Messrs. Terrell and all
spoke very highly of Mr., Farris and
his standing in the community. Every
one of them said that Mr.. Farris' state
ment would sooner be accepted by the
people of Utica and the surrounding
country than any one else they knew
of.

all dealers, or will be sent post paid on
receipt of price, so cents a box, or six
boxes for $3.50 (they are never sold in
