THE GUARDS STORY.


From the STATE Journal. Lincoln. Web.
There is probably not q stronger man or
more trustworthy guard employed At the
Nebraska State Peuitertiary than J. T.
RaLston. To 4 stranger lie appears n very
good example Of the man who beasts that lie
never was sick 4 day in his life.
For many years Mr.. Ralston lived al Syr-
acuse, Nebraska. and the Old residcnt-there
remember MIN as one ii the strongest AID
healt.iest of their number.
In -. or Whereabouts. when the grip"
frs: broke forth il this section OF the cuun-
try. it Claimed MIN as one Of its earliest
victims. Like most men with a strong
physique, he suceCcd al the disease and dIu
not guard properly against it. For days he
lay in bed and eft it only as a confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
to Peru. Nebraska. where some of his chill
lreu were attending the State Normal
School. He hoped the change would dohim
good. but he was disappointed. He doCtUrcd
VITA the local physicians. and even with his
own son who was practiciug medicine. All
seemed to no avail, and miserable in mind
and body the poor man told his family that
he feared there was no hope for him.
\ happy thought Of his own led him to
try strong StimulantS. He was again able
to work. But he soon found that his relief
was but temporary. and when bad weather
zane on he WaS subject TO severe attacks of
the grip as before.
Two wears ago Mr.. RalstOn was employed
at the Nebraska State Peuitontiary al Lin
coin, the state capital. and enjoyed cOlHpar
alive ease while performing the duties Of
usher. Last fall, however. he was put out
On the wall. AMI with the change OF work
came his Old trouble in even more aggr2-
waited form. He was not only trOUDled with
the usual miserable feelings Of the grip
but he found himself short of breath and
generally weak. these things uniting him
for the duties Of his position.
Once more, almost in despair, he sought a
cure and purchased 4 box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. He used them
according to directions and felt better. Five
more boxes followed TIE first and the long
sufferer was 4 well man.
Said he To Il .JnHraGi reporter. to whom he
had Just given the above facts Il feel now
as though | could stack more hay than any
man in Nebraska; and if | needed a position
now | would hunt one on a harvest field.
Why, only last Sunday night took a seycre
cold which, IA year ago, would have laid Inc
up a week with the grip but now II causes
/ me only temporary annoyance and l simply
live it Off
