The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1895-08-28


was young man possessed OF fne ply
siQue and must have had great strength:
but soon after enlSting he suffered with
most OF his regiment from an epidemic of
the measles and from mat time had touches
OF sciatic rheumatism He began doctoring
for il, but in the army, in such campaigns as
our boys saw who followed Hooker and
Sherman, is a poor place TO cure rheuma-
tism and especially sciatie, the most difficult
form Of rheumatism TO reach. After the
war he was mustered out with honor. and
his treable increased. also his kidneys
bothered him greatly. In a year ne decided
70 come west to Minnesota and settled in
Blue Earth County, where he lived until
nine years ago. He was terribly crippled
and suffered agonies Of pain He tried doc
tors Of all kinds and medicines of every de-
scription-
Finally he decided TO go still further west,
and selling his farm he went TO the coast
But the damp air had a still more harmful
effect and he, suffering what only fellow
victims of sciaiica can realize. took almost
the next train back, and came here 10 Alex
andrla where he had relatives and which ne
knew 10 be beautiful country of lakes
with good schools for his children. Build
ing house and buying small farm near
town, he again took up his fight with sciat-
lea. Sometimes he could do a little work,
and in the fields when attacked with the
pains, he would often lie down and have TO
be helped up again. He tried every known
remedy, for such was his suffering that his
right leg has been shortened fully two
inches. His kidney trouble also increased so
that he could only rest couple of hours at
time when he would be obliged to get up,
not having control of himself. Finally last
winter. the sarcasm of destiny added the
grip to his ills, and when he was recovering
from it. but unable to leave his room, when
it was Just as hard TO sit up as to lie down,
or TO lie down as sit up as he expires sed ii,
rar hold 1f 1szs tall
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People He
decided TO try them, as he said, ''they might
help, and fifty cents would not ruin me-"
He bought one box and before he had
taken half of this box he felt wonderful
effects. and he soon. as he himself put it,
''felt light and active. full of spring and
vigor." He had no more trouble whatever
with his kidneys. but could sleep all night
without getting up once, and though he took
but two boxes of the Pink Pills. he SAYS he
has never since had twinge Of the rheu-
matte pain. When seen on last Saturday,
he was at neighbours giving kindly hand
at repairing pump, and this old soldier, 63
years of age, veteran of dozen bloody
battlefeids, showed greater strength than
the young fellows he, was helping and
worked with all the vigor of youth. His
case to those who know Elm, and TO himself
especially, seems almost miraculous, and he
was willing, at our solicitation 70 tell OF 1t
so that others. maybe old soldiers afflicted
as he was. should have the benefit Of this
wonderful MEDICINE.
