Kidney Trouble and Its Effects.

The "Word of an Old Gentleman of Mattoon, 111. From the Commercial, Mattoon, 111 Mr. William J. Winningham is a wenknown and venerable gardener of Mattoon, 111. Seventy-five years ago Mr. Winningham was born in Ashboro, N. C., where he resided until 1866, when he removed to his present residence. Whe<n 31 years of age he began to be afflicted witn nervousness and cramps, which in later years developed into kidney trouble of so violent a character that it was no uncommon taring for him to void a gallon in a night, exudation through the pores being absolutely unknown. To a reporter who visited the old gentleman on hearing of his restoration to health after so many years of suffering, he made the following statement: “I suffered for all those long years with intense pain in the back, nervousness and from the passing of large quantities of water. This was undoubtedly a form of diab’etes, and so described by my physicians, of whom I had many. Strychnine and nitre and many other remedies were tried, as well as change of climate, but nothing did me any good. I was so horribly nervous that I could not lift a drinking vessel to my mouibh if there was not a handle attached to it. A great part of the time I was confined to bed. The commencement of the disease was in 1846, when I had a bad attack of ‘Southern fever” in North Carolina.

“About three years ago I read an advertisement of Dr. Williams’ Dink Pills and thought I would as they might do me began to get relief, and bylt he'll me I had taken eight boxes 4-Wasvirtually cured. Now my nervousness has left me, the How of water is normal, and the pores of my skin perform their duty as well as when I was a boy, and I perspire as freely as any one. “I have recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People to a number of people, and have heard from many of them that they have been greatly benefited. I shall always continue to speak in their praise whenever I have an opportunity, for I recognize that their effect upon me was little short of miraculous. (Signed) “WM. J.
