At the opening of the civil war Rich.
ard B. Avery, now residing ut $40
Thirteenth street, San Francisco, was
an associate editor on the Chicago
Times. Chicago was not then the
great commercial and industrial center
that she is today, nor had the Times
even begun to be the great representa-.
tive journal Of the inland metropolis,
as it has become in late years under
the control and direction Of the late
Carter Harrison. At that time Mr..
Avery was ~ man 80 years OF age, and
had come to his position as an editorial
writer after twenty years of service in
various branches of the newspaper bus
mess, having begun his apprenticeship
as compositor at 10 years OF age.
When President Lincoln issued the first
call for volunteers, Mr.. Avery threw
aside all the bright prospects which
lay before him in the journalistic field
and joined his fortunes with those OF
the North. He enlisted as volunteer
and fought with the Union army until
the close OF the war. He took part in
some of the fiercest battles Of the war,
and when he received his discharge
was considerably broken down in
health. BY continued exposure to the
severe weather that prevailed during
many of the campaigns, Mr.. Avery
contracted an acute form of neuralgis
in the head. He suffered excruciatini
pain, and passed many sleepless nights
on account of the disease. He came
to California several years ago, but th'
, change of climate did not afford hin
much relief, for the neuralgia attacks
recurred ut stated periods, and the pain
| was so intense at times that he wa
driven almost to desperation.

one of the most violent of these ut

persuaded to try Williams Pink Pill
