A KENTUCKY MIRACLE.

Judge John ML Rioe Tells How He Was Cured of Rheumatism. Crippled for Six Year* with Sciatica la Ita Wont Form—He Expected to Die Bat Waa Saved in a Mar* veloua Manner. [From the Covington, Ky., Post] The Hon. John M. Rice, of Louisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for the past two years retired from active life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth Judicial District of Kentucky. He has for many years served his native county and state in the legislature at Frankfort and at Washington, and, until his retirement was a noted figure in political and Judicial circles. The Judge is well known throughout the state and possesses the best qualites which go to make a Kentucky gentleman honored wherever he is known. About six years ago the bodily troubles which finally caused his retirement at ■ time when his mental faculties were In the senith of their strength, began their encroachment upon his naturally strong constitution. A few days ago a Kentucky Pott reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the following words related the history of the causes that led to his retirement. “It is ]ust about six years since I had an attack of rheumatism, slight at first, but soon developing into Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with acute shooting pains In the hips, gradually extending downward to my feet. “My condition became so bad that I eventually lost all power of my legs, and then the liver, kidneys and bladder and in fact, my whole system, became deranged. I tried the treatment of many physicians, but reoeiving no lasting benefit from them, I had recourse to patent remedies, trying one kind after another until I believe there were none 1 had not sampled. “In 1838, attended by my son John, I went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not much benefited by some months stay there when I returned home. My liver was actually dead, and a dull persistent pain in its region kept me on the rack all the time. In 1399 I was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was Impossible for me to give attention to my duties. Ih 1831, I went to the Silurian Springs, Waukesha, Wis. I stayed there some time, but without improvement. “Again I returned home, this time feeling no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my limbs were now reduced by atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic paius tortured me terribly, but It was the disordered condition of my liver that was I felt gradually wearing my life away. Doctors gave mo up, all kinds of remedies had been tried without avail, and there was nothing more for me to do but resign myself to fate. “I lingered on in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April, 1893. One day John saw an account of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People In the Kentucky- Post. This was something new, and as one more drug after, so many others could not do so much harm, John prevailed upbn me to try the Phtk Pins, It Was, I think, in the first week in May the pills arrived. I remember I was not expected to live for more, than three or four days at the time. The effect of the PUls, however, was marvelous and I could soon eat heartily,a thing I had not done tei years. The liver began almost instaptanoo.nsly to perform ita functions, and has done so ever since. Without doubt tha pills saved my life and while I do not craVe notoriety I cannot refuse to testify to their worth. The reporter caUed upon Mr. Hughes, the Louisa druggist, who informed him that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been very popular, since Judge Rice used them with suoh benefit. He mentioned several who have found relief in their use. An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People shows that they contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give now life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and safiow complexions, all forms of weakness eitherin male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, Or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or 6 boxes for *2.so—they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Agnes (reading of the death of a friend)— “How true is the saying: ‘Man proposes and God disposes.’ ” Her Elder Bister (sighing)—“l wish that were more than half true.” Agnes—“ Why, what do you mean! Which half is untrue?” Her Elder Sister— “ —Man proposes.” —Brooklyn Life.
