Misery for Months.
From the News, Clarksburg, w. Va.
In the interest of common humanity,
your reporter has the honor TO send
you an interesting and profitable in
terview had with one of Harrison
COunty's most highly esteemed citizens,
concerning his narrow and miraculous
escape from death. The person referred
to is Mr.. Floyd E. Barnett, of Jarvis
vile, West Virginia, who is well known
throughout Harrison County and other
sections of the State.
Mr.. Barnett's narrative is as follows:
Il live at Jarvisville, West Virginia,
was born and raised there. and am
thirty-nine years of age. l am farmer
by occupation, and the exposure and
overcame a strong constitution, and in
the month of May, 1894, | was seized
with what the medical fraternity pro-
nounced sciatic rheumatism.
THE disease was first felt in the hip
and soon became severely painful.
Within a short time the whole lower
extremity was affected and became ter
ribly swollen, and at times the pain
which was almost unbearable, extended
up into the shoulder. | consulted the
best physicians and specialists in the
country, some of whom treated me some
time, but to no successful purpose. l
used various patent medicines and lini-
mentS of wide recommendation, but
none of them gave relief. l worried
along this way for some months, be-
ing unable to work. and at times un-
able to move l became restless at
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 | was much discouraged, when by
chance | 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. l Immediately
procured box, and began to use them.
A change commenced at once.
Il continued to take the pills. until
felt entirely cured. Today | am we'll
and sound man. The pills not only
cured my rheumatism, but drove that
troublesome pain from my heart as
well. For more than year now [ have
not been troubled in the slightest with
either malady. or any other for that
matter. / am a strong man and per-
form as much manual labor as any
| farmer"
Mr.. Barnett is man highly respect
ed for veracity. His statements are cor
roborated by his neighbOrs, and his re-
covery is ascribed to the use of DR..
Williams Pills. AS he talked to your
reporter. he showed every sign 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.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are not
| looked upon as a 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. An
analysis of their properties shows that
they contain in a condensed form all
