-Four years Of such work had its effect. He
was young man possessed of a fine ply
sique and must have had great strength;
but soon after enlisting he suffered with
the measles and from that time had touches
Of sciatic rheumatism. He began doctoring
for it, but in the army, in such campaigns as
our boys saw who followed Hooker and
Sherman, is q poor place to cure rheuma-
tism and especially sciatic, the most difficult
war he was mustered out with honor, and
his trouble increased, also his kidneys
bothered him greatly. In a year he decided
to come west to Minnesota and settled in
Blue Earth County, where he lived until
nine years ago. He was. terribly crippled
and suffered agonics of pain. He tried doc
tors Of FL kinds and medicines Of every de-
Finally he decided TO go still further west,
and selling his farm he went to the coast.
effect and he, suffering what only fellow
victims of sciatica can realize, took almost
the next train back, and came here to Alex
andria where he had relatives and which he
knew to be q beautiful country of lakes
with good schools for his children. Build
town, he again took up his fight with sciat-
lea. Sometimes he could do q little work,
and in the fields when attacked with the
pains, he would often lie down and have to
be helped up again. He tried every known
remedy, RENE for such & was MS suffering 9Th, that his
inches. His kidney trouble also increased so
that he could only rest q couple of hours at
time when he would be obliged to get up,
not having control Of himself. Finally last
winter, the sarcasm Of destiny added the
grip to his ills, and when he was recovering
from it, but unable to leave his room, '.when
it was just as hard to sit up as to lie down,
or to lie down as sit up," as he expressed It,
he got hold Of a pamphlet telling about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. He
decided 70 try them, as he said, "they might
help, and fifty cents would not ruin me-" :,
He bought one box and before he had
taken half Of this box he felt wonderful
effects, and he soon, as he himself put it,
'felt light and active. full of spring and
vigor." He had no more trouble whatever
without getting up once, and though he took
but two boxes Of the Pink Pills, he says he
has never since had u twinge Of the rheu-
matte pain. When seen on last Saturday,
he was at neighbor's giving q kindly hand
at repairing pump, and this old soldier, 60
years of age, a veteran of q dozen bloody
battlefelds, showed greater strength than
the young fellows he was helping and
worked with all the vigor Of youth. His
case to those who know him, and to Himself
especially, seems almost miraculous, and he
was willing, at our solicitation, to tell of it
so that others, maybe old soldiers afflicted
as he was, should have the benefit Of this
wonderful medicine.
