Malaria and rheumatism.

From the Journal, Wilmington. Ohio.
On one of the fertile farms of the
rich Ohio Valley, seven miles from
Wilmington, the county seat of Clin-
ton Co., Ohio, and but short distance
from the small town of Melvin, their
post office, in a cozy, little country
home, resides John Arrasmith and
his wife. Minnie.
A few days since representative
of the Journal drove out to Melvin to
see them. Iu the course of the con-
versation, Mrs. A. detailed the fact
of her cure:
"Last july" said she, ''from undue
exposure in my work about the farm,
I contracted malarial fever and rheu-
matism and suffered from the illness
greatly. I could not throw it off,
and although constantly attended by
local physicians, continued to grow
worse. In September caught a severe
cold, which greatly increased my
other troubles, and taking to my bed
there I lay for months. The rheu
matism grew more aggravated, and
for eight long weeks prior to last
Christmas I was perfectly helpless,
my limbs below the hips being as if
paralyzed and I having no more use
of them whatever. I could not help
myself in any way, and was not able
to turn over in bed unless my husband
or some one else came and turned
me. Medicine which the physicians
left did no good, and nothing I could
take afforded any relief. I was dis
couraged and feared that never again
would I be up and about the house.
1t was anything but bright prospect
for was but twenty years old, had
been married only two years and my
life was before me and to 60 through
it helpless cripple, burden to my
friends, was a fearful fate to think of.
II had read in the Wilmington
Journal from time to time, articles
telling of the wonderful cures which
had been effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and had become impressed
with the cases where they had caused
person to walk and recover who had
been as helpless as I was. Consult
ing my husband, We determined to
give them trial. So he drove into
Wilmington and going to the drug
store of George W. Brown, bought
three boxes of the pills. I began tax
ing them Immediately on his return.
That was about the first of the pres
ent year. Before the first box was gone
I began to realize that I was getting
better, and by the time I finished the
second box the pain with which I
had been suffering for nearly six
months and the disease which had
made me helpless for eight weeks
disappeared entirely and I got up.
I took the third box of pills and have
never felt a twinge of rheumatism
since, and I am doing my daily work
and feeling as we'll as anybody"
To confirm the story Mrs. ARA
smith made the following affidavit:
Sworn to before me and subscribed
in my presence at Wilmington, Ohio,
this 29th day OF June, 1895.
