When I was able to get up, I could only get about by the use of crutches. The fall came on, and the rheumatism grew worse, lasting all through tho winter of '94 and '9s. I suffered as I never suffered Before. 1 thought that the spring would bring me relief, but it did not j consequently I was torced to cancel a number of engagements to speak. One day in June, '95, my wife said to me, ' Bishop, I read so mucir about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, suppose you try them, and see if they will not help you ?' She went to Xenii, Ohio, and bought a box of the pills. On her return she gave me a dose at noon, and another, at night. She was only called one time to attend to me that night, for months previous she had been called from three to four times during the night. The iiext*day I " took three doses ' of the pills, aud the second night I was not disturbed. My wife, for the first time in more than ten months, had a good night's sleep. I have not lost 1 night's sleep since. I carry p., box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wherever I go. I cheerfully bear testimony, and hope that others may find relief."
