I'm 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-
manned 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 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 it has
rendered me unconscious for from seven
to ten hours at time. In addition to this
the rheumatism extended up my entire
side until it drew my head down on my
shoulder. l lost my strength and flesh
and was totally unfit for work. For
twenty eight years l have consulted ply
sicians and taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material benefit.
My ailments increased in intensity until
l 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 increased my rheumatic
pains to such an extent that was not
only compelled to quit the business, but
was confined to my house and bed for
nearly six months.
Il had given up all faith of being a
well man again. when in November last
read in the World Herald case of a man
who had been entirely cured from the
ailments from which / was suffering,

to know that l felt better than l had for
six months past. and before l had used
half box l was sure that l had found
a cure for my ailments. The ringing in
my ears began to lessen in volume and
finally left me. That was the first effect
! experienced aside from an increased APP
petite. The pain from the rheumatism
gradually left me, so that within one week
from the time took my first pill l was
able to sit up in bed. On January LIST,
! was able to go out and walk around a
little. The palpitations of my heart en-
thoroughly cured that l accepted posi-
ton as night Waterman in the Forest
Lawn Cemetery, remaining out of doors
from p. IN. until 6 a. IN. l have gained
