/
Mr. John Leahy, a well known school
teacher OF Kokomo, Indiana makes the fol
lowing well written statement regarding
his illness from rheumatism and compll-
cation Of diseases, and subsequent cure,
''rhree years ago, when | was 30 years
ola, was attacked with rheumatism, nccom-
panied with marked and increasing disturb
ances Of the nervous system, pains IN the
head, aud most serious Of all, symptoms OF
organic heart trouble.
"Tho cardiac Inflammation increased as
the rheumatism progressed, audit was not a
great while before the heart troubleassumed
the chronic form. My brain was mitch dis
| jurbed and my physician was alarmed, fear
ing meningitis, Us the ariicular inilamma-
ton diminished while the cerebral distur-
baucc increased But was spared this adj
diuoual iuhiction, am thankful TO say, for
| again the joints began to swell, and the pain
| in the head to subsde though 1t settledln
a duh rheumatic headache, which no skill OF
| the physician could relieve.
"Of course, during the carly stages Of the
| disease was confined to bed Then | got
up and tried to move around little aud
really l think became used to the pain.
at was in the spring Of 1898 when l was
first afflicted. For three years the disease
by the best physicians in the state, some of
whom are considered at the head of their
profession in the west. These gentlemen,
though Jealous, and splendid diagnOstcians
could not help me. They could all describe
my disease, and tell me better how felt
than could myself, but their remedies had
no effect on me whatever. / was a fearful
sufferer from insomnia, and the nostrms
which / took TO superinduCe sleep were le-
gion In addition to other troubles, my
stomach gave out altogether, think prob
ably from the preparation OF sallcylc acld,
with which had been abundantly dosed, L
could not assimlale food, and lost flesh UNI
til | became almost skeleton. My CON
dition of nerves mt this time cannot be de-
scrbed. Terrors by night and terrors by
day were indeed mine, and though general
ly utterly unreal, they were lusl as tor
menting as though they had the most ma
terial existence.
$50 matters continued until the spring Of
this year March, 1866. Twas still failing and
becoming more of a wreck every day, when
a friend of mine, druggist IN Logansport,
Indiana, recommended me to try Or. W II
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying
that they had recently cured customer Of
his wLo had been similarly afflicted, and in
as bad plight as l was.
81 did not at once act on my friends
recommendation. but after two or three
days did so and bought supply.
NOW there Is no eSaEECGdbloU III Wldb
am about to write, for 1t is the honest truth,
had not taken Or, Williams Pink Pills
two days when | began to get relief FIRST
of all my nervousness and that dull, wicked
headache showed signs of abatng, then my
sore and painful joints grew easier, my
stomach and kidneys began to do their
work once more, my tongue became clean,
all foulness disappearing, ana better IMAM
all my heart became normal in its action.
Before had taken four boxes l was
well and hearty man, aud | now eat, drink,
sleep and work rs well as anyone aud after
three years of suffering such as mine, IL
may be imagined that | am more than toll
erably happy aud cOntented with life.
~ have recOmm DR.. Nllllams' ms
Pills to many, among others my sister, Mrs.
Ellen Patton, of Chicago, III, who is C
rheumatic sufferer, but | have not heard as
yet what they have done for her.
