From the Post, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Tn comic rtable home, located on gentle
slope of his ancestral heritage aud situated
about one mile or more without the thriving
village Of Leechburg, Pa, lives Edward
Miles Duff Mr.. Duff is veteran of the war,
and served almost three years in tho 123d
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. after
having been wounded while Il member OF
Co. "E." 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at
the battle of fredericksburg. and for which
he received an honorable discharge He was
again wounded in the head Mt Gettysburg,
and when again dismissed for physical in
ability to endure tho long marches of an in
tantryman, but rc-enlisted in the Lower
Mississippi Marine Corps. and served on the
gunboat "Autocrat" until the final surrender
and discharge of the military forces in 1865.
After the war Mr.. Dun was resident OF
Allegheny, aid was engaged in the dry
goods business on Market Street, this. city.
subsequently he engaged in oil production
at Oil City and other places in the upper oil
country. and later returned to his ancestral
home to care for the declining age of his par
ents, and to manage tho farm, on Il part OF
which he now lives. His cosy home is now
embraced within the suburbs of the village,
and is surrounded by large number of resi-
Gences of tho prosperous merchants and
manufacturers of the town, which has grown
out to and embraces part of the farm upon
which his father lived for n long period of
years.
il was while sitting in his comfortable
home. looking out over the valley and tho
landscape which charms the spectator as
seen from his door. that Mr.. Duff told tho
writer OF his experiences n soldier, and
the results OF the wounds which he received
while wearing the uniform of his country.
'The wound received on the back of my
head, said he. 'has troubled me ever since
it was inflicted more or less, but in the pas.
three years much more than formerly. At
various times | was affected with nervous
twitchings and involuntary movements OF
the muscles of my face and limbs that | was
alarmed lest it should terminate with par
alysis. l consulted various doctors, tried
number of medicines which friends recon-
monded, but derived no benefit until
nephew brought me some of the Pink Pills
for Pale People. He had heard of some re-
markable benefits conferred by this remedy
on various ones whom he knew. and prom
ised to bring mo some, which he did yery
soon after his visit at which he first men
toned them. / took thcm as directed on the
box. and confess that did so more to please
my nephew than with any expectation that
they would do me any good. l was most
agreeaby surprised, however. after | had
been taking them for n few days, to notice
that my nervous twltchings and involuntary
muscular movements wero pronouncedly
less noticeable, and that felt better in every
way. My appetite, which had been capri
cious aud litful, began to improve, and foods
of which | am very fond, but which for u
long time l was obliged TO deny myself,
caused mo no discomfort and / began to get
strong and robust. | experienced such good
results from this remedy that L continued
taking it until felt myself no longer in need
OF it. After taking the Pink Pills for per-
l,nrA fp,,r he na oh 7 hnu
had n sign or symptom of return of tho
malady which worried me for years. To-day
/ am rs robust as a man of my age can ex-
pect to be, especially after having endured
the exposure and rigors incidental to tho
life of u soldier. | attribute my cure to the
Pink Pills for Pale People, and think them IL
most wonderful remedy for building up peo-
pie who arc run down physically and men,
tally. They seem to impart strength and
tone to the whole system. acting blandly and
benellcently on body and brain. At least
that has been my experience, and to those
whose disorders are OF n nervous nature, L
should thing they could get nothing better
than the Pink Pills. In my own caso | know
that they relieved me OF pains which racked
me all over. aud dissipated nausea and pains
in the stomach which made life miserable,
and the pleasures of the table, which to mo
is great pleasure, something only to be re-
membered not to be enjoyed. It is different
now. however My appetite is just as keen
and L relish food as well as l ever did, and
that Is saying not "A little"
Mr.. Duff said it has been several months
since he has taken any medicine, and he
thinks he has no need for any. He said he
would take the Pink Pills if he felt thC need
Of any medicine, but he is persuaded that
when peopiedo not need medicine it should
| be let alone
