ALMOST A MIRACLE
THE RESTORATION TO HEALTH
OF \ PROMINENT MAN.
Worn Out by Exposure and Broken
Down in Health He Was in Misery
for Months.

| From the News, CiarKsburg, w. Va.
In the interest of common human
ity, your reporter has the honor TO
send you an interesting and profitable
interview with one of Harrison Coun-
! tvs most highly esteemed citizens,
concerning his narrow and miraculous
escape from death. The person re-
ferred to is Mr.. Floyd f. Barnett, of
Jarvisville, West Virginia, who is well
known throughout Harrison County
and other sections of the State.
| Mr.. Barnetts narrative is as fol-
/ lows IL live at Jarvisville, West Nir-
! ginia, was born and raised there, and
am thirfy-nine years of age. | am a
! farmer by occupation, and the expos
ure and hardships incident to this life
finally overcame strong constitution,
and in the month of May, 1894, | was
seized with what the medicG1 "ratern-
ity pronounced sciatic rheumatism.
The disease was first felt in the hip
and soon became severely painful.
Within short time the whole lower
extremity was affected and became
terribly swollen. and at times the pain
which was almost unbearable, extend
ed up into the shoulder. l consulted
the best physicians and specialists in
the country, some of whom treated me
some time, but to no successful pur-
pose. | used various patent medicines
and liniments of wide recommendation
but none of them gave relief. | wor-
ried along this way for some months,
being unable to work, and at times
unable to move. | became restless 1t
night and could not sleep. The disease
seemed to affect my heart and it was
utterly impossible to lie on my left
side on account of the seriousness of
the pain at the heart.
"My condition seemed a hopeless one
and l was much discouraged, when by
chance l happened to read an account
in the Wheeling Independent of the
wonderful cure of person afflicted
like myself, that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had effected. This was some time
in the month of December. | immed-
lately procured a box and began to use
them. \ change commenced at once.
II continued to take the pills, until
l felt entirely cured. Today | am a
well and sound man. The pills not
only cured my rheumatism but drove
that troublesome pain from my heart
as well. For more than year have
not been troubled in the slightest with
either malady, or any other for tn 1t
matter. l am a strong man and per-
form as much manual labor as any
farmer"
Mr.. Barnett is a man highly respect
ed for veracity. His statements are
corroborated by his neighbors, and his
recovery is ascrbed to the use of DR..
Williams Pills. AS he talked to your
reporter he showed every signs of be-
ing a man in excellent health and only
too glad to tell the simple story of
how his life was saved by the use Of
the pills.
DR.. Williams. Pink Pills are not
looked upon as patent medicine, but
rather as a prescription. They have
been used as such in general practice
for many years, and their success in
curing various Affections without any
other medicines was so great that they
were prepared in quantities, and
placed within the reach of everyone.

form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They

diseases as locomotor ataXia, partial

ton of the heart, and the tired feeling

specific for troubles peculiar to fe-
males, such as suppressions, irregular
