-Four years OF such work had its eff
feet He was a young man possessed
of fine physique and must have had
great strength; but soon after enlist
ing he suffered with most of his regi-
ment from an epidemic of the measles
and from that time had touches of
sclatic rheumatism. He began doc
toring for it, but in the army in such
campaigns as our boys saw who fol-
lowed Hooker and Sherman, is a poor
place to cure rheumatism and especial
ly sciatic, the most difficult form of
rheumatism to reach. After the war
he was mustered out with honor, and
his trouble increased, also his kidneys
bothered him greatly. In a year he
decided to 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 doctors of all kinds
and medicines of every description.
Finally he decided to go still further
west, and, selling his farm, he went
to the coast. But the damp air had
still more harmful effect and he, suf-
fering what only fellow victims of sci
atica can realize, took almost the next
train back, and came here to Alexan-
he knew to be a beautiful country of
lakes with good schools for his chill
dren. Building a house and buying a
small farm near town, he again took
up his fight with sciatica Some. times
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
X
fering that his right leg has been
shortened fully two inches. His kid
ney trouble also increased so that he
could only rest a 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, md
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 ex-
pressed it, he got hold of a pamphlet
telling about Dr. 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 a half of this box he felt won
derful effects, and he soon, as he him
self puts it, ''felt light and active, full
of spring and vigor.' He had no mora
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 a twinge of the rheu-
matte pain. When seen on last Sat
urday, he was at a neighbor's giving a
Kindly hand at repairing pump, and
this old soldier, 60 years of age, a vet
eran of a dozen bloody battle fields,
showed greater strength than the
young fellows he was helping, and
worked with all the vigor of youth.
His case to those who know him, and
to himself especially, seems almost
miraculous, and he was willing, at our
solicitation, to tell of it so that others,
maybe old soldiers afflicted as he was,
should have the benefit of this wonder
full medicine
