a number of the Cuthbert boys who are

But there was one thing needed to {1
his ¢up of happiness full to overflowing.
In that one thing is a sorrowful tale of ter
rible suffering. For over ten long yeurs
lie suilered the most exeruciating pains that
made life a burden and almost uibearable.
Mr. Riddle’s pitiable and helpless condition
wae known to many of our most prominent
and influential citizens, and his restoration
to con:plete health is a marvel to all.
About two weeks ago, while on his way to
fill « preaching appointment at Irene, he
dropped into our office and during a pleasant
talk the conversation turned upon his health
and his remarkable recovery. We asked
him to what he attributed his present good
health. He enthusiastically replied *to
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,”
and then told us the following story of his
sufferings and how he was cured :
“I suffered with sciatica for about ten
gears, bhut not severely until sometime in
anuary, 1894. In that month I received
a fall and sprained my right knee, the pain
finally locating in my right hip. For a year
I was anable to do any business or work.

terribly, and at one time I made “B my mind
to give up all pastoral work. uring the
summer months my suffering was not so
great, but in the foil months the pain re
turned. In December I was unable to do any
horse-back riding, which exercise I am very
fond of. In January I could travel in buggy,
although with much pain, and was com
pelled to take & boy along with me to open
gates and give me other assistance that |
might need, for I was unable to get out of
the buggy without almost unendurable pain.
“ I saw the accounts in the Dispaich of the
wonderful cures made by Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People and concluded to try
this remedy. After being told by a physician
that he could do me no good, with the hepe
of obtaining some relief, if not a cure, I sent
REV. S. J. RIDDLE, BALLANTINE, 8. C.
to the Murray Drug Company, of Columbia,
and purchased some of the pills and began
the use of them. After using them ior a
time I found myself fifty per cent. beiter.
