Served in Two Wars.
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED.

Innrmities OF tho Veteran.
tTrom tAc Herald, Woodstock. Ha.)

(fr0m tac Herald, Woodstock, Po)
There Is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served ia the war with Mexico and in
the war Of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturff.
He passed through both these wars without
a serious wound. The hardships however,
told seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked nim four years ago 1t nearly killed
him. Who can look on the infirmities Of a
veteran without q feeling Of the deepest
sympathy? His townspeople saw him con-
fined to his house so prostrated with great
nervousness that he could not hold a knife
and fork at the table, scarcely able TO walk
too, and as he attempted il, he often stumbled
and fell. They saw him treated by the best
talent 10 be had-but still he suffered on for
four years, and gave up finally in despair.
One day, however, he was struck by the
account of q cure which had been effected
by the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. lie
immediately ordered q box and commenced
taking them. He says he was greatly re.
ieyed within three days time. The blood found
its way 10 his fingers and his hands which
had been palsied assumed a natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his knife and
fork at the table. lie has recovered his
strength 10 such an extent that he is able 10
chop wood, shock corn and do his regular
work about his home. He now says be can
not only walk 10 Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He isable 10 lift up a
nliN~iNO HNuuu weight WIN oAt HNNu NiiN
says he does not know what DIR. Williams
Pink Pills have done for others, but knows
that they have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief lie pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. Mclnturff is willing to make afi.
davit 10 these facts.
The propriet0rs Of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
a prescription used for many years by an EN-.
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all forms
Of weakness arising from a watery condition
Of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful
causes Of almost every i'll to which flesh is
heir. The pills are also q specific for the
troubles peculiar 10 females, such as suppress
sions, all forms Of weakness chronic con-
stipation, bearing down pains, etc, and in the
case Of men will give speedy relief and effect
permanent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of what
ever nature They are entirely harmless and
can be given to weak and sickly children
with the greatest good and without the slight
est danger Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers. or viii be sent post paid on receipt OF
