iriMnV I If 1 A KENTUCKY IURACLE. JUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW HE WAS CURED OP SCIATICA. Circuit Judge, 1 (lYqm the Covington, Ky Tot. The Hon.

John M. Bice, of Louisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky, has for the past two years retired from active life aa 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 nntMl fiomr. in vwilitieal and Jn dicial circles. The Judge is well known throughout the state and possesses the best qualities which go to make a Kentucky gentleman honored wherever he is known.

A few days ago a Kentucky Pott reporter called upon Judge Rice, who in the following words related the history of the amuses that led to his retirement It is just about six years since I had an attack of rheumatism slight at first, but soon developing into Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with acute ahootincr naina in the hiDS. ersdoallr 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. la 1888, attended by my son John, I went to Hot Springs, Ark but waa not much benefited by some months stay there. My liver was actually dead, and a dull persistent pain in its region kept me on the rack all the time.

In 1890 I waa reappointed Circuit Judge, but it waa impossible for me to give attention to my duties. In 1891 I went to tbe Silurian Springs, Waukeshaw. Wis. I stayed there some time, but without improvement. The muscles of my limbs were bow reduced by atrophy to mere strings.

Sciatie pains tortured me terribly, but it was the disordered condition of my liver that was I felt gradually wearing my life away. Doe tors gave me up completely. I lingered on in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April, 1S93. One dav 'John saw. an account ot Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in the Kentucky Post. This was aomething new, and John prevailed upon me to try them. I remember I was not expected to live for more than three or four days at the time. The effect of the pills, however, waa marvelous and I could soon eat heartily, a thing I had not done for years. The liver began almost instantaneously to perform its functions, and has done so ever since.

Without doabt the pills saved my life and while I do not crave notoriety I cannot refuse to testify to their worth. Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richnesa to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They may be had of all druggists, or direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Company.
