SURPRISED HIS PHYSICIAN

From the Courier Journal Louisville, Ky.
Yes, nay name is A. J. Nicholson and
my address is the Bull Block, Louisville
Ky, and l am the man you have heard
of as SO persistently and SO enthusiastical-
ly proclaiming the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.
up to the first OF last March | can
truthfully say that for twenty years /
hal suffered all the agonies of an inferno,
and death would have at times been a
welcome visitor. | had muscular rheuma-
tism in its most vicious form supplement-
ed by what the doctors called tuberculosis
of the bones. 1 was almost constantly
under the treatment of a physician and
spent q considerable portion of my time
in the hospital. In 1893 l spent three
months in that institution where | under
went severe surgical operations for relief.
Almost all the money [ could raise from
whatever source went for medicines in
one way or another. l would try any and
every remedy that was suggested, but I
finally concluded that the doctors were
right in saying there was no cure for such
a case as mine. My right leg became
rigid and stiff, the joints refusing to per-
form their functions in any degree. At
length the pains attacked my left leg
also. and 1t was fast becoming as bad as
the other. / also suffered in the Shout
ders and arms, though not so badly as in
the lower limbs.
"About the first of March last, I read
an article on Pink Pills, and while very
dubious as to the result l concluded to
give them trial. / used one box without
deriving any benefits as / could see, and
was about to abandon them when, at the
urgent solicitation of my wife, l concluded
to try one more box anyhow. Before the
second box was used up. / thought could
experience some slight Improvement in
my condition. Like a drowning man
| speedily grasped at that one straw of
hope. | ordered other boxes and contin-
Ued the systematic use of the pills as
directed, my improvement, from the be-
ginning of the third box, being most mark
ed and rapid. The rigidity and stiffness
soon began to disappear from my leg, the
excruciating pains became gradually less,
my dropping spirits revived under the eX-
hiarating prospect of getting we'll, and
before a great while l was able to go to
work. l have not yet discontinued the
pills. l have just ordered the sixth box,
which / think will be the last. / feel that
/ owe my life to this extraordinary prep
aratiOn. for | don't see how [ could have
lived under the almost incessant torture
/ was enduring. 1t 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
l was to give it a trial

The physician who attended Mr.. Mich
olson is DR.. JAS. S. Chenowith, 2O5 West
Broadway. The doctor remembered the
case and corroborated what Mr.. Nichol-
son said in regard to the latter's deplora-.
BILE condition and about the operation per-
formed on him at the hospital The doc
tor seemed surprised 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 we'll
again.
