! KOKOMO sCHOOLMASTER.
From The Trfbule. KoIcolno, Ind.


Mr. John Leahy, well known school
teacher of Kokomo, Indiana, makes tire fol
| lowing well written statement regarding
! his illness from rheumatism and compii-
cation of diseases, and subsequent cure.
ssThree years ago, when I was IS years
| old, was attacked with rheumatism, accom-
panied with marked and increasing disturb
ances of the nervous system, pains in the
head, and most serious OF all, symptoms OF
organic heart trouble.
1.-THE cardiac Inflammation increased as
the rheumatism progressed, and it was not q
| great while before the heart trouble assumed
| the chronic form. My brain was much dis
turbed and my physician was alarmed, fear
] ing meningitis, as the articular infiamma-
| ton diminished while the cerebral distur-
bance increased. But was spared this adj
| ditional infection, am thankful to say, for
again the joints began to swell and the pain
| in the head to subside, though it settled into
a dull rheumatic headache, which no skill of
4 the hysician could relieve.
| sOf course, during the early stages of the
disease, ] was confined to bed. Then l got
up and tried to move around a little, and
really think 1 became used to the pain.
sit was in the spring of 1898 when I was
first afflicted. For three years the disease
continued, during which time Twas attended
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 diagn1ostlclans,
could not help me. They could all describe
my disease, and tell me better how felt
than l could myself, but their remedies had
no effect on me whatever. l was fearful
sufferer from insomnia, and the nostrums
| 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 salicylic acid,
with which had been abundantly dosed l
could not assimilate food, and lost flesh I'M
| til / became almost Il skeleton. My con-
ditiou of nerves at this time cannot be de-
scrbed. Terrors by night and terrors by
| day were indeed mine, and though general
| ly utterly unreal, they were just as tor
menting as though they had the most ma
| terial existence.
$50 matters continued until the spring of
| this year March, 1896. was still failing and
becoming more of wreck every day, when
friend of mine, druggist in Logansport,
Indiana recommended me to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying
that they had recently cured customer OF
his who 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 exaggeratlon In what
am about to write, for it is the honest truth,
] had lot taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills
two days when began to get relief. First
of all my nervousness and that dull, wicked
headache showed signs of abating, 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, and better Than
all my heart became normal in its action.
''Before had taken four boxes was
well and hearty man, and / now eat, drink,
sleep and work as well as anyone, and after
three years of suffering such as mine, 1t
may be imagined that l am more than toll
erably happy and contented with life.
81 have recomm ended DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to many, among others my sister, Mrs.
Ellen Patton, of Chicago, H., who is g
rheumatic sufferer, but have not heard as
vet what they have done for her.
