that led to his retirement ; "It Is Jut about
b:x years since I had an attack ot rheuma

Salatle rheumatism, whioh bcrfon first wtfj

extending downward to my fort.
"lly condition became so bad that I even

liver, kidneys and bladder and, In laef, my
whole system becamn deranged. I tried the
treatment of many physioiuns, but rocoivlng
no lasting benefit froai them, I had recourse
to patent remedies, trying ono kiaJ attn an
other until I beliovo thcro wero none I had
not sampled.
"In ISttS. attended by ray son John, I went
to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not muca bene
fited by soma months' stay there when I re
turned home. My liver was actually dead,
and a dull, persistent pain in Its refrlon kept
me on the rack all the time. In 1SD0 I wtu

liver that was. I felt, gradually wearing my
life away. Doctors gave me up, all kinds o,'
remedies bad been tried without avail, and
thcro was nothing more for me to do but re
sign myself to fat".
"I lingered on in this condition enstalneVi
almost entirely bstlmulants until April,
1"U3. One day John saw ou account of Dr.
Williams' Tluk rills for Tale People ln the
Kentucky I'ost. This was something uew.
and as one moro druj after so many others
could not do so much harm, John prevailed
upon me to try the rink I'll!?. It was, I
think, in the first week tn May the pills ar
rived. I remember I was not expected to
live lor moro than three or tour du at th
time. The effect ot the Tills, however, was
marvelous, and I could soon eat heartily, a
thing I bad not done for yoars. The liver
began almost Instantaneously to perform Its
functions, nnd has done so ever since.
Without doubt, the pills saved my -life, and,
while I do not crave notoriety, I cannot re
fuse to testify to their worth."
The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes, tho
Louisa druggist, who informed him that Dr.
Williams' I'ink l'llls have been ery popular
