(F'rom the World Herald, Omaha, Neb.)
World-Herald reporter was attract
ed by the evidence of renewed activity
Of some of the older inhabitants Of the
village of Florence, a suburb of Omaha,
Neb., and inquired the cause. Mr.. An
drew Finkenkeler, who was member
OF Company b of the First Iowa Volun-
teers during the war, made the follow
ing explanation so far as he himself Is
concerned:
In July, 1866. while my company was
on the march through to Austin, Texas,
l was attacked with rheumatism Of the
worst kind in one leg at Alexander, La.
Being weak, l was sunstruck and re-
NAMED unconscious for several hours.
Every summer since have been unable
to stand the heat of the sun, and have
been compelled to give up my work.
There was in my head a bearing down
feeling which increased until it seemed
my head would burst, and it caused
ringing In my ears, and palpitation of
the heart set in, so that the slightest
noise would set my heart humping.
Several times 1t has rendered me uncon-
scious for from seven to ten hours at
time. In addition to this the rheuma-
tlsm extended up my entire side until
1t drew my head down on my shoulder.
lost my strength and flesh and was
lOldly uHllL IOr Work.
For twenty-eight years I have con-
suited physicians and taken their pre-
scriptions without deriving any mate
rial benefit My ailments increased in
intensity until / was assured that there
was no hope for me. During last year
l went into the butcher business, but
the dampness from the ice used in
creased my rheumatic pains to such an
extent that l was not only compelled to
quit the business, but was confined to
my house and bed for nearly six
months.
II had given up all faith Of being a
well man again, when in November last
I read in the World-Herald case Of a
man who had been entirely cured from
the ailments from which / was suffer-
ing, by the use of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. On November Is,
I purchased a box. In week / was
astonished to know that I felt better
than had for six months past, and be-
fore had used half a box I was sure
that had found cure for my ailments.
The ringing in my ears began to lessen
in volume. and finally left me. That was
the first effect 1 experienced aside from
an increased appetite. The pain from
the rheumatism gradually left me, so
that within one week from the time
took my first pill was able to sit up in
bed. On January 1st, I was able to go
out and walk around a little. The pal
pitations Of my heart entirely ceased.
On February 8, I was so thoroughly
cured that accepted a position as night
Waterman in the Forest Lawn Gene
terry, remaining out of doors from 6 p.
m. until 6 a. m. have gained in weight
from IA pounds, which / weighed In
November last, to 172 pounds, which I
weigh now"
Mr.. r. w. Cowan, keeper Of gen
eral store at Florence, was also seen by
the reporter. Mr.. CoWan is also an old
soldier, having been 4 member OF the
144th Infantry Company c, and later
of Company M of the First Minnesota
Cavalry. Mr.. Cowan stated that he con-
tracted chronic diarrhoea while he was
in the army and has never until within
the past few months, received any re-
lief. He stated that he had taken the
wonderful Pink Pills and was now al
most thoroughly cured, so much so in
fact that he has discontinued their use.
He was also paralyZed in the left side
of his face, the mouth being drawn up
at the left corner, and he was entirely
unable to move the muscles of his fore
head or to close his left eye. He states
that he believes 1t is owing to the use
of the Pink Pills that he has recovered
the use of his left eyelid, which, prior
to his taking the pills, had been fas-
tened down by physician so that the
sight would not be destroyed from the
eye filling with dust, and ascribes the
recovery to the Pink Pills. He has
gained fifteen pounds in weight since
last October, and feels healthier and
stronger than at any time since the war.
He intends to recommence using the
pills with the expectation Of complete
recovery from the paralysis.
