World Wide interest.
FROM the rhtladszphfa Times. !

From the Philadelphia TTmes.)
Many survivors of our late war left
the ranks unWOunded but with broken
constitutions; an instance In point. is
Lewis ID. Blundin, a resident OF Hume
vile, Bucks Co., Pa. In relating
his experiences and what he had suf-
fereu IN consequence of the hardships
he had encountered Mr.. Blundin said:
Il was born at Bridgewater, Penna.,
IN 1871, and went through the war as
private, sergeant and hospital steward
IN Company G, 18th Pennsylvania
Volunteers. My service was active
and while in Georgia | had an attack
OF typhoid fever, which left me weak
and a ready victim for future disease.
My kidneys were then affected and
this finally developed into spinal
trouble which lasted through my army
service. In 1866 [ was mustered out
with an hOnorab bic discharge and en-
tered the Jefferson Medical College in
Philadelphia as student. [ gradu-
ated two years later with diploma
| but did not practice. At that time [
was living IN Manayunk. One day,
after [ had graduated, | was lying on
sofa at my home in Manayunk, when
L felt a cold sensation in my lower
limbs as though the blood had sud-
denly left them. When [ tried to
move them | was Mortified at the dis
cOvery that | was paralyizes from my
hips TO my toes. The paralysis was
complete and a pin or a pinch of the
flesh caused no pain. [ could not
move muscle. / called IN DR.. Will
liam @. Todd of Philadelphia. He
made careful and exhaustive ex-
animation of my case, sounding and
testing and finally announced that my
trouble was caused by inflammation of
the spinal cord, and that [ would
likely have another stroke OF paralysis.
| consulted Dr. |. w. Goss and DR..
PancOaSt Of Jefferson College, Phila-
delphla, With the same result. l called
in DR.. Morehouse, of Philadelphia,
who said that no amount of medicine
would ever prove Of the slightest bene-
tit To me.
zone day last September I decided
TO try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. | sent for one box. |
had always been troubled with sort
OF vertigo after my first stroke of
paralysis TO such an extent that when
got out of my bed my head would
swim and l had difficulty in saving
myself from falling. My appetite was
bad, digestive organs ruined and no
assimilation of food. In addition TO
my many other ailments, rheumatism
held prominent place. By the time
| had finished the first box of Pink
Pills L was comparatively free from
these minor ills. My appetite return
ed, the digestive organs got down to
their daily grind and the rheumatism
disappeared. L was much encouraged
and Immediately sent for half dozen
boxes Of the Pink Pills. Relief fol-
lowed upon relief with astonishing
rapidity. First one all would disap-
pear, then another until the pills got
TO work upon the foundation stones
of my trouble-paralysis. I felt a
sense OF eXhilaratiOn and the general
effect was beneficial, becoming more
so each day. NO-ing this fact, | in
creased the dose from one to two pills
after each meal for few days. Be-
fore had taken the six boxes Of pills,
L was sitting in my chair one after
noon, when felt curious sensation
Ia my left foot. Upon investigation.
L found 1T had fieXed, or, in other
words, become movable, and / could
move it. From that time on my i'm
proyement was steady and it was not
long before | was walking around on
clutches with little or no discomfort.
1t was three years before taking the
Pink Pills that had been able to use
the crutches at any time. My health
is daily improving and | feel sure that
Pink Pills have done me more good
than all the doctors and all the medi-
cine In the country and as they are
not costly can easily afford the treat
ment."
Mr.. Blundin tells of another re-
markable cure effected by the use of
Pink Pills. Itwas one of his old COM
radessJn the army, who since the.war
has resided in Michigan. He has been
sufferer from rheumatism nearly all
his life. Il KNOW said Mr.. Blundin,
that there have been times when he
could not lift his arms to his head, or
even his hands to his mouth, because
OF chronic rheumatism. He read in
Detroit paper Of wonderful cure
made by Pink Pills and bought a box.
His cure was sudden and complete.
Knowing that [ was a sufferer from
rheumatism, along with other ills, he
wrote me about his recovery and adj
Vlsed me to try them. | was then
using them. He said he had perfect
control of his arms and hands and
could use them freely without expert
encing any pain. He added that as a
cure for rheumatism the Pills were
the most complete in the world. My
case alone proves that, for [ am con
tident that my greatly benefited con-
dltion is due solely to the use Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People"
