There Is at least one happy man in San
francisco to-day-one man who can enjoy,
despite the fact OF, his being sixty years Of
age and of corpulent build, the full and free.
use of all the powers Of mind and body.
James Keenan, is prominent liquor
dealer at 256 Brannan Street, and it is he.
who is now lauding those who have restored
him from bed Of pain to his former youth
full activity. Mr.. keenan, had, to within q
year ago, been blessed with the enjoyment
of almost perfect health. He had never
known what it was to be confined for weeks
ct o time upon a couch Of painful disease,
nor even to lose the vigorous action of mind
/ or limb which had enabled him, through the
rany years of his business life, to perform
his daily tasks unaided and unad vised.
It was q year ago that Mr.. Keenan, first
suffered the hand Of disease to take hold
upon him. At that time he was stricken
down by an aggravated attack Of rheuma-
tism, which robbed him of the use of his
lower limbs and Of both his hands. For
fully six weeks he lay on his couch, a help
less victim Of the dread disease, and all the
time he suffered intense pain in the affected
portions of his body. He could not move
himself upon his bed, and all that he ate
had to be fed to him by those in attendance.
He had about despaired of ever gaining re-
lease from the clutches of the frightful dis.
ease, when one morning his attention was
drawn to an advertisement in morning
paper, Of remedy for rheumatism. The
.1,nL- L 1-.1o
a. medicine advertisement can best be told in
the words of Mr.. Keenan, himself, who
when asked for an explanation of his SEEM
ingly miraculous cure, gave the following
account: ~. 81
g It seemed to me that after all the weeks.
of terrible suffering that had endured there
could not possibly be relief I had mo
faith in patent medicines, and when I sew
in paper the advertisement of Williams'
Pink Pills I was induced to try them only
In sheer desperation. I did not feel any re-
lief until I began taking the second box of
the pills, but then the pain began gradually
to- leave me, my appetite became better, and
could sleep soundly throughout the night
without experiencing any, of the jerking
pains that had before kept me awake, /
continued to take the pills and it was only a
short time until the rheumatism had entirely
left my hands, and I.had so far recovered the
use Of my legs as to be able to walk about
1 the house without assistance. In about two
:. weeks more + was entirely free from the dis
ease, but took two more boxes of the pills
as precaution against q return of the rheu-
matism. From The time that the last trace
of the disease left me I have not feltthe least
sign Of its return, and / can truthfully say
that / now enjoy as free use Of my limbs as
ever did before the rheumatism attacked
me. 5.23s s5 ~
81 have taken the pains to recommend
Williams Pink Pills to number Of my
friends who are suffering fron, rheumatism.
think know of no other remedy that will
afford such quick and permanent relief from
rheumatism as do Williams Pink Pills: and
only hope that many others may be brought
to see and feel the high curative powers that
the pills possess
The following case was also called to the
attention Of the Examiner, shortly after the
publication of the above, md is given here
Youched for by that great paper.
