R ". Edwards, Of L~ansingburg, was
prostrated by sunstroke during the war,
and i: has entailed on hin. peculiar and Sc
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr.: E. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon,
G. AR, Cohoes anda past aide de camp on
the Staff of the commanderin-chief of al
bany Co. In tneinterview with ~areporter,
he said: s y
"k was wounded and semitic the hospital
a. Winchester. They sent me together with
others 10 WashingtOn-a ride of about ICE
mics. Having no room in the box cars we
were placed face UP on the bottom of fat
cars. The sun beat down upon our unpro-
tected heads. When l reached Washington
was insensible and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering aud breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-miie ride and sunstroke
was heart disease, nervous prostration, in
somnla n rheumatism. a completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. AS a last resort l took some
Pink Pills and they h~elpedme to wonder
fuI degree. Ny rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure. dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the abScess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and nv once shat.
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers" Mr.. Edwards said,
do they look as if there was any rheuma-
tisIn there He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. "A year : those fingers were
gn2rled at the jOi1ts audsO stiff that Icould
not mold Il pen. Ny knees would swell up,
and L could not strL!ghten my leg out. My
Joints would squeak when l moved them.
That is the living truth.

be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest OF my ailments, | tell you life
seemed not worth living. IsufTered from

Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head, and at
tine same time enrich my blood. There
seemed TO be nc circulation in my lover
limbs a year ago, my legs being cold and
clImmy AZ times. Now the circulation
there's as full and as brisk as at any other
