Many survivors of our late war left the
ranks unwounded but with broken con-
situations; an instance in point Is Lewis
D. Blundin, resident of Hulmeville,
Bucks Co., Pa. In relating his expert
ences and what he had suffered in con.
sequence of the hardships he had encoun-
tered Mr.. Blundin said:
II was born at Bridgewater, Penna., in
ls41, and went through the war as pri.
vate, sergeant and hospital steward IN
Company C, 18th Pennsylvania Volun-
teers. Ny service was active and while
in Georgia had an attack of TYPHOID fever
which left me weak and ready victim
for future disease. My kidneys were
shen affected and this finally developed
into spinal trouble which lasted
through my army service. In 1866 was
mustered out with all honorable DIS
charge and ensered the jefferson Medical
College in Philadelphia as a student. L

ma, but did not practice. At tina

Tower limbs as though the blood had sud-
denly left them. When tried to move
them l was Mortified at the discovery
that was paralyzed from my hips to
my toes. The paralysis was oomple1e anu

called in DR.. William G. Todd OF Phladel-
phia. He made careful and exhaustive
examination of my case, sounding and
testing and finally announced that my
trouble was caused by Inflammation of
the, spinal cord and that I would likely
have another stroke of paralysis l con-
suited DR.. I. W. Gross and DR.. Pancoast of
Jefferson College, Philadelphia, with the
same result. l called in DR.. Morehouse,
of Philadelphia, who said that no
amount of medicine would ever prove OF
the slightest benefit to me.
One day last Septem Der decided to
try.Dr. williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. I sent for one box. | had al
WAYS been troubled with a sort of vertigo
after INV first stroke of paralysis to such
an extent that when I got out of my bed
my head would swim and had dlf1l-
Guilty in saving myself from falling. My
apnetite was bad, digestive organs ruined
and no assimilation of food. In addition
to my many other ailments, rheumatism
held prominent place. By the time
I had finished the first box of Pink
these minor ills. My appetite returned,
the digestive organssgot down to their
daily grind and the rheumatism dlsap-
peared. / was much encouraged and i'm
mediately sent for half dozen boxes of
the Pink Pills. Relief followed upon
relief with astonishing rapidity. First

foundation stones OF my trouble-paral-
ysis. felt sense of exhiliartion and
the general effect was beneficial, becom-
ing more SO each day. Noting this fact.
Increased the dose from one to two pills
after each meal for a few days. Before
I had taken the six boxes of pills was
sitting in my chair one afternoon. when
/ feltga curious sensation III my LETT foot.
Upon inveslgtation / found it had f1exed,
or. in other words, become movable, and
I could move it. From that time on
nv Improvement was steady, and it was
not long before | was walking around on
crutches with little or no discomfort.
It 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 l feel sure that
Pink Pills have done me more good than
all the doctors and all the medicine in
the country and as they ara not costly
can easily afford the treatment.
Mr.. Blundin tells of another remarka-
BILE cure effected by the use of Pink
Pills. 1t was one of his old comrades IN
the army, who since the war has resided
In Michigan. He has been sufferer
from rheumatism nearly all his life.
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 rheu-
matism. He read in a Detroit paper of a
wonderful cure made by Pink Pills and
bought box. His cureswas sudden and
complete. knowing that Twas suffer
er. from rheumatism, along with my
other ills, he wrote about his recovery
and advised me to try, them. | was then
using them. He said he had perfect con-
troll of his arms and hands and could use
them freely without experiencing any
pain. He added that as cure for
rheumatism the Pills were the most
Complete in the world. My case alone
proves that, for am confident that my
greatly benefited condition is due solely
