A Horld. Herald reporter was attracted by
the evidence of renewed activity of some of
the older inhabitants of the village of Flor
ence, a suburb of Omaha, Neb.. and en-
quired the cause. Mr. Andrew Finkenkeler,
who was member of Company b Of the
First Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
tie following explanation so far as he him
self Is concerned:
'sIn July. 1866. while my company was on
the march through to Austin, Texas. was
attacked with rheumatism of the worst
kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being
weak ! was sunstraCk and remained I'M
const ious for several hours. Every sum
mer 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 IN
creased until il seemed my head would
burst, and il caused a ringing in my ears,
and palpitation of the heart set in, so that
the slightest noise would set my heart
humping. Several times II has rendered
me unconscious for from seven To ten hours
at a time. In addition TO this the rheuma-
tism extended up my entire side until il
drew my head down on my shoulder ! lost
my strength and flesh and was totally unfit
for work.
sFor twenty-eigllt years have consulted
physicians and taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material benefit. My
ailments increased in intensity until | was
assured that there was no hope for me. Dur
ing last year | went into the butcher bust
ness, but the dampness from the ice used
increased my rheumatic pains 70 such an ex-
tent that | was not only compelled u quit
the business, but was confined to my house
and bed for nearly six months.
II had given up all faith of being well
man again, when in November last l read in
the Uorld-Fferdid case of "a man who had
been entirely cured from the ailments from
which | W. suffering, by the use OF DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. On
November y purchased box. In week
| was astOnished to know that felt better
than had for six months past, and before
| had used half a box | was sure that 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 appe
tite. The pain from the rheumatism grad
ually left me- so that within one week from
the time | took my first pill | was able 70
sit mp in bed On January LIST, | was able
TO go out and walk around a little. The
palpitations of my heart entirely ceased
On February 9, | was so thoroughly cured
that accepted position as night Waterman
in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, remaining out
of doors from p NJ. until Is A. Nj. j have
gained in weight from IA pounds which
weighed in November last, to LIZ pounds
which / weigh now.
Mr.. r. w Cowan, keeper of genera
porter. Mr. Cowan is also an old soldier
having been a membe Of the Hath lnfan
try, Company &. and later of Company N
of the First Minnesota Cavalry. Mr.
Cowan stated that he contracted chronic
diarrhPa while he was in the army ana ha'
never until within the past few months, re
ceived any relief. He stated that he haC
taken the wonderful Pink Pills and wa:
now almost thoroughly cured, so much soiT
fact that he has discontinued their use.
He was also pardlyZed in the left side Of
his face, the mouth being drawn up AT the
left corner and he was entirely unable L
move the muscles of has forehead or K
close his left eye. He states that he believe:
it is owing to the use of the Pink Pills thai
he has recovered the use of his left eye-lId
which, prior to his taking the pills, haC
been fastened down by a physician so tina
the sight would not be destroyed from The
eve filling with dust, and ascriDes the re
covery to the Pink Pills He has gained
fifteen pounds in weight since last October
and feels healthier and stronger than a
any time since the war. He intends Z
recommence using the pills with the expec
tation of complete recovery from thu
