A World Herald reporter was attracted by
the evidence of renewed activity Of some OF
the older inhabitants OF the village OF Flor
ence, q suburb of Omaha, Eeb., and en-
Quired the cause. Mr.. Andrew FinkenAeler,
who was a member of Company B OF the
First Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
the following explanation so far as he him
self IS concerned:
fsIn 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 l was sunstruck and remained I'M
conscious for several hours. Every SUM
mer since have been unable to stand the
heat of the sun, and have been compelled
head bearing down feeling which in
creased until 1t seemed my head would
burst, and it 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 it has rendered
me unconscious for from seven to ten hours
at time In addition to this the rheuma-
tism extended up my entire side until 1t
drew my head down on my shoulder. lost
my strength and flesh and was totally unfit
for work.
''For twenty-eight 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 to such an ex-
tent that l was not only compelled to quit
the business, but was confined TO my house
and bed for nearly six months.
81 had given up all faith of being well
man again when in November last read in
the World Herald case Of man who had
been entirely cured from the ailments from
which l suffering, by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. On
Novembe % purchased a box. In week
was astonished to know that felt better
than had for six months past, and before
had used half box I 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 I
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 l was able to
sit up in bed. On january 1st, l was able
70 go out and walk around little. The
palpitations of my heart entirely ceased.
On February 9, l was so thoroughly cured
that accepted position as night Waterman
in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, rem aiming out
of doors from p. M. until A. M. I have
gained in weight from Ia pounds which I
weighed in November last, to 172 pounds
which weigh now.
Mr.. r. w. Cowan, keeper of a general
store at Florence, was also seen by the re-
porter. Mr.. CoWan is also an old soldier,
having been a member of the Hath Infan-
try, Company c, and later of Company M
of the First Minnesota Cavalry. Mr..
Cowan stated that he contracted chronic
diarrhoea while he was in the army and has
never until within the past few months, re-
ceived any relief. He stated that he had
L
now almost thoroughly cured, SO much so in
fact that he has discontinued their use.
He was also paralyZed in the left side of
his face, the mouth being drawn up ut the
left corner, and he was entirely unable to
move the muscles of his forehead or to
close his left eye He states that he believes
it is owing to the use of the Pink Pills that
he has recovered the use of his left eye-lid,
which, prior to his taking the pills, had
been fastened down by physician so that
the sight would not be destroyed from the
eye filling with dust, and ascribes the re-
covery to the Pink Pills. He has gained
fifteen pounds i'll weight since last October,
and feels healthier and stronger than at
any time since the war He intends to
recommence using the pills with the eXpec-
tation of a complete recovery from the
paralysis.
