Tor -FOUR years ago. while engaged in
experimenting the raising OF an inn
menss smokestack of the Albany Elec-
tr'c power-house. the lever of a
loosened windlass struck him a heavy
oiow across the back. The effect of
the blow was not at first apparent
ne being able to leave his bed in few
days. But the worst was to follow,
for without warning he was seized
with sciatic rheumatism in all its viru-
lence. Untold agony followed.
said Mr.. Scace: II could not sleep
for the pain. No one will know the
tortures the rheumatism gave me.
don't know how l lived during those
days, l became little more than skin
and bones. and 1t seemed like life
didn't have anything but suffering In
it. Cures? tried every so-called rheu-
matic cure that was ever invented: I
I stopped taking them. My friends
and neighbors recommended remedy
after remedy that they heard of, but
my rheumatism went on just the same.
Well, after / had almost had the life
tortured out Of me. came across
Pink Pills. and thought l might as
we'll add another name to the list as
not, SO l ordered some OF my druggist
Il tell you, was glad in those days
to hear of anything that could give me
any hope at all. Yes. got them. and
began to leave me. Why. couldn't
understand 1t. couldn't imagine my
self being cured. But before had
taken a half-dozen of those boxes I
made my life ainaat nnhearahle for SO
long had disappeared was new
man.
IT began to get strong. 1 picked up
In flesh. and went back to my busi-
ness with all the vigor and vim of a
young man. think everyone who
knows me will tell you what 1t did for
me. Pink Pills is the grandest medi-
cine ever discovered, and II my recon-
mendation will do 1t any good l want
of 1t and be benefited as l have been.
Everyone should hear of It, 1 can't say
too much for them" Mr.. Scace ex-
claimed. enthusiastically, in conclu-
sion.
Mr.. scace is now enjoying the fruits
Of an unusually large business, man
aged solely by himself. and covering
almost the entire eastern portion Of the

little trinkets. carved by the light of
the campfire. attest his skill in this
direction.
Far from being solicited to recon-
mend the curative which had taken
such a load of misery from his life. in
his gratitude his praise for 1t is un-
stinted and unceasing. And from his
own statement one may easily see that
when he does cease to sing its virtues
1t will be to answer the last muster
ing In.
