The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-04
SURPRISED HIS PHYSICIAN.


From the Courier-J Journal, Louisville, Ky.
Eyes, my name is A. J. Nicholson,
and my address is the Bull Block,
Louisville, KY, and I am the man you
have heard of as so persistently and so
enthusiastically proclaiming the merits
of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.
up to the first Of last March I can
truthfully say that for twenty years
1 had suffered all the agonies of an in
fcrno, and death would have at times
been a welcome visitor. 1 had mus
cular rheumatism In its most vicious
form, supplemented by what the doc
tors called tuberculosis of the bones.
/ was almost constantly under the
treatment Of physician and spent
a considerable portion of my time in
the hospital In 1893 I spent three
months in that institution where I
underwent severe surgical operations
for relief. Almost all the money could
raise from whatever source went for
medicines in one way or another. |
would try any and every remedy that
was suggested, but l finally concluded
that the doctors were right in saying
there was no cure for such case as
mine. My right leg became rigid and
stiff, the joints refusing to perform
their functions in any degree. At leng n
the pains attacked my left leg also,
and 1t was fast becoming as bad as
the other. I also suffered in the Shout
ders and arms, though not so badly as
in the lower limbs.
about the first of March last, 1
read an article on Pink Pills, and while
very dubious as to the result, l con-
Guided to give them a trial. I used
one box without deriving any benefits
as could see, and was about to aban-
don them when, at the urgent solicita-
ton Of my wife, I concluded to try one
more box anyhow. Before the second
box was used up, 1 thought I could
experience some slight Improvement In
my condition. Like drowning man I
speedily grasped at that one straw of
hope. ordered other boxes and con-
tinued the systematic use OF the pills
as directed, my Improvement, from the
beginning of the third box, being most
marked and rapid The rightly and
stiffness soon began to disappear from
my leg, the excruciating pains became
gradually less my dropping spirits
revived under the exhilarating prospect
Of getting well, and before great
while was able to go to work. 1 have
not yet discontinued the pills. / have
just ordered the sixth box, which
think will be the last I feel that I
owe my life to this extraordinary prep
aration, for 1 don't see how I could
have lived under the almost incessant
torture I was enduring. It is not
strange, under the circumstances, that
should lose no opportunity to tell my
friends about this remedy and to urge
upon all afflicted as I was, to give it a
trial."

The physician who attended Mr..
Nicholson Is DR.. Jas. 8. Chenowith,
one of the most distinguished In the
city. His Office Is at 205 West Broad
way, where a reporter found him and
asked about Mr.. Nicholgon's condition
while under his treatment. The doctor
remembered the case and corroborated
| what Mr. Nicholson said In regard to
| the latter's deplorable condition and
| about the operation performed on him
at the hospital. The doctor seemed sur
prised to learn that his former patient
was now almost entirely well, since he
did not believe when he last saw him,
that he would ever be well again.
