EX-CHAMPION JIM CORBETT TALKS PLAINLY TO A REPORTER.

HE IS NOT DEAD YET. (From the St. Louis, Mo., Chronicle.) Corbett, attired in a frock coat of the period, plug hat, and shod in patent leathers, sat in his apartments in the Southern Hotel, at St. Louis, the other day, and delivered himself of a few opinions to a reporter. “ I am bigger, better and stronger than ever before,” replied the champion when asked about his health. “ The rheumatic complaint that held me captive off and on some time ago has left me completely, and I know I am cured of it. I contracted rheumatism before training for my fight with Peter Jackson.” continued Corbett. “ How I got it or where I got it is a mystery to me, but th it I had it is a fact that X am not likely to forgot soon. I suffered a good deal with rheumatism after that fight. Some days ray arms, wrists and fingers would be so stiff and swollen that I could not use them at all. My legs also pained me, but to a less degree. Than, again, all this would leave without any apparent reason, and I would not be troubled again for weeks. Of course, I doctored for my complaint continuously, but the attacks seemed to come every few weeks just the same. A short time after my fight with Jackson I went East and met and defeated Dominick McCaffrey, though I was handicapped by rheumatism in my right leg in my encounter with McCaffrey. These periodical attacks of rheumatism affected me until a tew weeks before I began training for my fight with Mitchell. One day I sat in the Coleman House, New York. My eye chanced to cross an advertisement of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I had never heard of them before, and as an experiment purchased a box. I consumed two boxes and was pleased with results, for the pains began to leave iqy arms and legs. After taking four boxes according to directions I found myself greatly improved. The improvement is permanent, I am sure, for I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. Before using the pills the rheumatic attacks returned every month or so, especially it I caught a cold. When I trained for ray fight with Mitchell in Florida I suffered from malaria, and used the pills as a tonic witfl splendid results. I found that Dr Williams’ Pink Pills were efficacious in building up the system after a malarial attack.

“ The above I attest as entirely correct, “ Signed, JAS. J. CORBETT.”
