SleepleSsnesS from Rheumatism.
A Man Receivers fSom the Malady
Which Had Made Life Burden.

From the Democrat-Message, Mt. Sterling,
The prevalence of rheumatism in this
part of the country has long been source Of
unfavsxable comment by other localities less
subject to this affection. Indeed there are
few adults in the Valley of the Mississippi
who at some time in their lives may not ex-
pect to realize the direful effects of rheuma-
tism in some one of its different forms. In
this immediate section the attention of The
/ Democrat Message has several times been
called to particular instances where the e.
fects of this malady have rendered life al
most uncomfortable.
In this connection it may. not be out of
place for this journal to refer to a recent
incident. We refer to Mr.. John j. Friday,
DR., OF Ripley, ILL.,, well-known to mahy
OF our people as young man of character
and standing. Last spring Mr.. Friday was
attacked by rheumatism in its severest
form-he, like many others-probably in
herlting tendency to the disease. A re-
porter met him the other day and found him
about as lively looking young man as there
is in Brown County. In reply to an in
curry as to the remedies used by him which
had resulted so favorably, Mr.. Friday said:
In the spring of 1895 was attacked by
rheumatism. The disease progressed until
l was past getting around. For a long time
! was unable to lie down in bed and was
forced to sit up as many as four nights in
week without going to bed at all. con-
suited the leading physicians both in Mt.
Sterling and Nashville but obtained no re-
!ef. My condition was growing worse, and
1t 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 bad been completely
cured BY using DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
de told me that before he began using this
medicine he could scarcely bend his knee
and could walk only with great difficulty.
l knew that he had, shortly before that time,
been aftiicted as was, and therefore con-
-cluded that if he had been benefited by their
use they might help me. i also heard that
MT. James Stout, prominent farmer near
Ripley, had been cured of rheumatism by the
same means. l made some inquiries Of him
and he confirmed what had been told. IL
was about all | could do to get to Ripley.
but ! managed to make the short trip. t
bought two boxes of the pills and used
them as directed. After had taken half
a box felt wonderfully better. kept on
and used six or seven boxes. Ny improve
ment continued until was entirely recov-
cred. l now consider. myself cured, and
had never had it.
i believe that DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are entirely responsible for my recovery, as
before l began their use my condition was
steadily growing worse If you care to pub
lish what 1 have said about this medicine
am perfectly willing that you should do so.
! believe it will benefit others who suffer
from this disease. took six boxes and con-
sider DIR. Williams Pink Pills the best in
vestment l ever made"
There are probationary other instances
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 az they NAV
be brought to our notice.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a CON-
densed form, all the elements necessary 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 impressions, irregularities and all forms
of weakness. In men 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 at so cents box or six boxes for 81 80,
