From he Post, Pittsburgh, Pa
In a comic rtnble home, coated on a gentle
slope of his ancestral heritage. and situated
about one mile or more without the thriving
village OF Leechburg, Pa, lives Edward
Miles Duff. Mr.. Duff Is a veteran Of the war,
and served almost three years in the 1884
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. after
having been wounded while a member of
Co. "E." 18th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, at
the battle OF Fredericksburg, and for which
no received an honorable discharge. He was
again wounded In tho head at Gettysburg,
and when again dismissed for physical in
ability TO endure the long marches Of an in
fantryman. but re-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 wal Mr.. Duff was u 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 hts ancestral
homoto care for the declining age of his par
ents, and to manage the farm, on n part OF
which he now livea. His cosy home Is now
embraced within the suburbs OF the village,
and is surrounded by a largo number of resi-
dences of the prosperous merchants and
manufacturers Of the town, which has grown
out to and embraces q part of the farm upon
which his father lived for q long period Of
years.
1t was while sitting in his comfortable
home, looking out over the valley and the
landscape which charms the spectator, as
seen from his door, that Mr.. Duff told the
writer OF his experiences as n soldier, and
the results Of the wounds which he received
while wearing the uniform Of his country.
1.-THE wound received on tho back OF my
head, " said he, "has troubled me ever since
1t was inflicted, more or less, but in the past
three years much more than formerly. At
various times l was affected with nervous
twitchings and Involuntary movements OF
the muscles of my face and limbs that I was
alarmed lest 1t should terminate with par
alysis. l consulted various doctors, tried a
number OF medicines which friends recon-
mended, but derived no benefit until a
nephew brought me some OF the Pink Pills
for Pale People. He had heard of some re-
markable benefits conferred by this remedy
IN various ones whom he knew. and prom
ised to bring me some, which he did very
soon after his visit at which he first men,
toned them. i took them as directed on the
box, and confess that 1 did so more to please
my nephew than with any expectation that
they would do me any good. / was most
agreeably surprised, however. after / had
been taking them for a few days, to notice
that my nervous twitohings and involuntary
muscular movements were pronouncedly
less noticeable, and that 1 felt better In every
way. M~yappetite, which had been capri
cious and ntful, began to improve, and foods
Of which / am very fond, but which for q
long time I was obliged to deny myself,
caused me no discomfort, md l began to get
strong and robust. l experienced such good
rnanIfQ from fhic FpmahV TINT continual
taking it until felt myself no longer in need
OF it. After taking the Pink Pills for per-
haps four months, as directed, l nave never
had II sign or symptom OF a return OF the
inaiady which worried me for years. To-day
l am rs robust as a man of my age can ex-
pect to be, especially after having endured
tho exposure and rigors incidental to tho
life OF u soldier. l attribute my cure to the
Pink Pills for Pale People, IL think them n
most wonderful remedy for building up peo-
pie who are run down physically and men,
tally. They seem to impart strength and
tono to the wholesystem, acting blandly and
bencfcently 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 case, l know
that they relieved me of pains which racked
NEAL over, and dissipated nausea and pains
in the stomach which made life miserable,
and the pleasures of the table, which to me
is a great pleasure, something only TO be re-
membered, not to be enjoyed. 1t Is different
now, however. Ny appetite is just as keen
and / relish food MS well as / ever did, and
hat Is saying not Il %little."
Mr.. Duff said 1t 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 IL he felt the need
Of any medicine, but he is persuaded that
when peopledo not need medicine 1t should
be let alone.
