Of Jackson county's prominent citizens,
Mr.. Lorenzo Medley, OF Liberty town
ship, who had suffered with the twangs
and pangs OF rheumatism for over
thirty years.
In order to give authentic facts, an
Industrial News representative inter

following facts:
Mr.. Lorenzo Medley is So years OF

When IL years old by an unfortunate
accident he hurt his shoulder, and
few years after that he commenced 70
have rheumatic pains in his shoulders.
This would not always trouble him, but
on taking a slight cold OF the least
strain. OF sometimes without any ap-
parent cause the trouble would start
again and he would suffer the most ex-
circulating pains
For over thirty years he has thus
suffered. and for the last decade has
suffered continually 50 that he was
unable to do any work To this the
frequent occurrences Of dizzy spells was
lately added, making him almost a
helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but with
out getting any help, and has tried sew
eral specific rheumatic cures, but all
without any appreciable relief. About
one year and six months ago he read in
the Jackson Industrial News Of case
somewhat similar to his which was
cured by the use Of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, and he concluded
to try this remedy.
After the first box he felt somewhat
better. and after taking three boxes the
pains entirely disappeared and the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
a year been entirely free from all his
former trouble ad enjoys better health
than he has had since his boyhood.
