From the Philadelphia Times.

(From the Phlladelpnla lines.
Many survivors of our late war left the
ranks unwounded but with broken consti-
buttons an instance In point, is Lewis D.
Blundln, resident of Hulmeville, Bucks
Co., Pa. In relating his experiences and
what he had suffered in consequence OF
the hardships he had encountered Mr..
Blundin said:
II was born at Bridgewater, Penna., In
1841, and went through the war as pri-
vate, sergeant and hospital steward In
Company G, 2Sth Pennsylvania Volun-
teers. My 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 then
effected and this finally developed into
spinal trouble which lasted through my
army service. In 1865 was mustered out
with an honorable discharge and entered
the Jefferson Medical College in Philadel-
phia as student. Igraduated two years
later with diploma but did not practice.
At that time / was living In Manayunk.
One day, after l had graduated, ! was
lying on sofa at my home in Manayunk,
when felt cold sensation In my lower
limbs as though the blood had suddenly
left them. When tried to move them was
Mortified at the discovery that was par
alyzed 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 O muscle. called in DIR. Will
liam g. Todd Of Philadelphia. 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
l would likely have another stroke OF
paralysis. consulted DR.. I. w. Gross
and DR.. Pancoast Of Jefferson College,
Philadelphia, with the same result.
called In DR.. Morehouse, Of Philadelphia,
who said that no amount Of medicine
would ever prove OF the slightest benefit
to me.
Zone day last September decided to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. | sent for one box. had al
ways been troubled with O 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 appe-
lite 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
was comparatively free from these minor
| ills. My appetite returned, the digestive
organs got down to their daily grind and
the rheumatism disappeared. / was much
encouraged and Immediately sent for
half a dozen boxes Of the Pink Pills. Re-
lief followed upon relief with astonishing
rapidity. First one all would disappear,
then another until the pills got to work
upon the foundation stones Of my trouble
| paralysis. / felt O sense OF exhilara-
ton and the general effect was beneficial,
becoming more 80 every day. Noting
this fact, increased the dose from one
to two pills after each meal for few
days. Before l had taken the six boxes
Of pills, was sitting in my chair one az
ternoon, when felt a curious sensation
in my left foot. Upon investigation, !
found it had hexed, or, in other words,
become movable, and / could move 1t.
From that time on my Improvement was
steady and 1t was not long before was
walking around on crutches with little
or no discomfort. It was three years be-
fore 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 than
all the doctors and all the medicinein the
country and as they are not costly can
easily afford the treatment"
Mr.. Blundin tells of another remarkable
cure effected by the use Of Pink Pills.
| One Of his comrades In the army was
Lewis j. Allen, Of Battle Creek, Michi-
gan, who has been sufferer from rheu-
matism nearly all his life. Mr.. Allen is q

because of chronic rheumatism. He read
In Detroit paper of wonderful cure
made by Pink Pills and bought box.
His cure was sudden and complete.
Knowing was q sufferer from rheuma-
tism, along with my other ills, he wrote
me about his recovery and advised 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
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 to the use of DR.. Williams Pink
