SLFEPLESSNEss FROM RHEUMATISM
A MAN RECovERS FROM THE
MALADY WHICH HAD MADE
LIFE A BURDEN.

From, the Denocrat-iMessage. Mt. s erlirg. III
The prevalence of rheumatism in this
part Of the country has long been source
of unfavorable comment by other locali-
ties less subject to this affection. Indeed
there are few adults in the Valley of the Mis-
sissippi who at some time in their lives
may not expect to realize the direful
effects of rheumatism in some one of it's
different forms. The Democrat essage
mas several times been called to instances
where the effects of this malady have
rendered life almost uncomfortable.
In this connection it may not be out or
place for this journal to refer to a recent
incident. We refer to Mr.. John J. Fri
day, Jr., of Ripley, ILL.,, well known to
many of our people as young man Of
character and standing. Last spring Mr..
Friday was attacked by rheumatism in
it's severest form, he-like many others
probably inheriting tendency to the dis
ease. A reporter met him the other day
and found him about as lively looking
young man as there is in Brown County.
Mr.. Friday said "In the spring of 1896
I was attacked by rheumatism. The
disease progressed until / was past get
ting around. For long time was un-
able to lie down in bed and was forced to
sit up as many as four nights in a week
without going to bed at ali. 1 consulted
the leading physicians both in Mt. Ster-
ling and Rushville, but obtained no relief.
My condition was growing worse, and ii
seemed as if nothing could help me.
''In talking with George Riggles,
friend of mine, he said that he also had
suffered from rheumatism and had been
completely cured by using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He told me that before he
began using this medicine he could scarce
ly bend his knee and could walk only
with great difficulty. / knew that he
had, shortly before that time, been af-
ficted as | was, and therefore concluded
that if he had been benefited by their
use they might help me. l also heard
that Mr.. James Stout, a prominent farm
cr near Ripley, had been cured of rheu-
matism by the same means. l made
some inquiries of him and he confirmed
what / had been told. It was about all
| could do to get to Ripley, but | man
aged to make the short trip. bought
two boxes of the pills and used them as
directed After I had taken half a box
[ felt wonderfully better. / kept on and
used six or seven boxes. My improve
ment continued until | was entirely re-
covered. / now consider myself cured,
and have no more feeling of rheumatism
than if l had never had it.
II believe that Dr. Williams Pink Pills
are entirely responsible for my recovery,
as before / began their use my condi-
ton was steadily growing worse If you
care to publish what | have said about
this medicine | am perfectly willing that
you should do So | believe it will bene-
fit others VINO suffer from this disease.
[ took six boxes and consider Dr. Will
Jams Pink Pills the best investment l
ever made"
There are probably many other in
stances in this part Of Illinois where this
painful and stubborn disease has been
cured by the use of this remedy, and we
will from time to time publish further
accounts as they may be brought to oar
notice.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in 4
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar
to females, such as suppressions, irreg-
charities and all forms of weakness. In
mon they effect radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork Or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk al
| 80 cents box or six boxes for $3.50, and
may be had of all druggists, or direct by
mail from DR.. Williams Medicine Com
