coUNTY OF CUSTER.
Charles F. Carr, OF Custer City, South
Dakota, being first duly sworn says:
"In the year 1876 l was a farmer and stock
nan, living at Adell, Iowa. At that time l
vas severely attacked by a malady little
Understood by the professional men of that
tme. Some of the doctors called 1t rheu-
natism, and others ~sciatica, the latter being
he true diagnosis, and they told me it was
Incurable, but that by proper treatment tenn
porary relief could be afforded. l was for six
weeks confined to my bed. I tried every
hing l could hear of that would likely help
he. l was afforded temporary relief, but
when very tired and worn l could feel the
Effects of the malady at all times, with an
occasional return of the intense pain known
10 all sufferers with that dire disease. For
years 1 vainly sought for some means OF
relief without avail. A few years ago., be-
ing then somewhat better, l came to the
Black Hills and took up a ranch intent on
establishing myself and family in our west
ern home. Exposure and over e~xertion
together with my age brought a return Of
the malady, and for five years I was a con-
slant sufferer from ~sciatica. / was for weeks
at a time confined to my bed unable to move
about, but tried everything 1 could hear of,
and read all advertisements of medicines,
and tried almost everything in the hope OF
finding the proper remedy for my ailment.
/ was more than sixty years of age, and no
looked for the end which alone could relieve
my suffering. While in this Responding
condition, one day I noticed and read in one
Of the papers a testimonial of a person who
had been cured of a similar disease, ano
being urged by my friends decided to try
the remedy, which was DIR. Williams PINK
Pills. In about October or November, 1895
| began the use of Pink Pills for Pail
People. l bought two boxes of them from
our druggists, A. j. Jones & Co., by whom
they were highly recommended. Befor'
l had finished the pills 1 had bought, m!
pain which had been increasing for at leas
i've years, entirely left me, and 1 enjoyed
peace that ! had not known in years.
Owing 10 the long suffering and the Attic
ton which was more or less confined to m,
left leg, it did not at once regain its full
yigor, and | still limp. Yet l notice
marked Improvement, and it does not inter
fere with my taking care Of my ranch an,
the stock. l have never felt so well in 2
years rs now. 1 am able to do as nue.
work us any of my men, and regard m,
cure most remarkable at my age for
seems to me that l am as strong as l was Q
twenty-five. l feel that l owe my recover
to this medicine alone, and l think, my life
Remembering what the testimonial which
saw published old for me, 1 trust some su.
ferer may see my tribute, and benefit froI
it by giving DR.. Williams Pills a fair tria
