r. W. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was
Frustrated by sunstroke during the war
and it has entailed on hin peculiar anu
serious consequences At present writing
Mr. Il. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon,
e.. A. r.. Cohoes, and past aid de camp
on the staff of the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
Albany County. In the interview with
q reporter he said:
~ was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me, together
with others. to Washington-a ride of
about 100 miles. Having no room in the
box cars we were placed face UP on the
bottom Of fiat cars. The sun beat down
upon our unprotected heads. When /
reached Washington l was insensble and
was unconscious for ten days while in the
hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear
and broke; il has been gathering and
breaking ever since. The result of this
100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart
disease, nervous prostration, insomnia
and rheumatism; completely shattered
system which gave me no rest night or
day. AS last resort l took some Pink
Pills and they helped re to a wonderful
degree. My rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone and the abScess in my ear
has stopped discharging and my head feels
as clear as q bell. when before it felt as
though it would burst and my once shat
tered nervous system is now nearly sound.
Look at those fingers" Mr.. Edwards said,
do they look as if there WAS any rheum-
atism there" He moved his fingers rap
idly and freely and strobe about the room
like young boy. "a year ago those fin
gers were gnarled at the joints and so stiff
that / could not hold 4 pen. My knees
would swell up and | could not straighten
my leg out. My joints would squeak
when l moved them. That is the living
truth.
'When came to think that was going
to be crippled with rheumatism, together
with the rest of my ailments, tell you
life seemed not worth living. / suffered
from dependency. l cannot begin TO tell
you" said Mr.. Edwards, as he drew
long breath, what my feeling is ut pres
ent. L think if you lifted ten years right
Off my life and left me prime and vigor-
Gus at a l could feel no better. i was an
old man and could only drag myself pain
fully about the house. Now | can walk
off without any trouble That in ITSELF"
continued Mr.. Edwards, would be- sufn-
cient TO give me cause for rejoicing. but
when you come TO consider that / am no
longer what you might call nervous and
that my heart is apparently nearly healthy
and that | can sleep nights you may real
Izc why L may appear to speak in extrav-
agant praise of Pink Pills. These pills
quiet my nerves, take that awful pres
sure from my head and ut the Same time
enrich my blood. There seemed 10 be no
circulation IN my lower limbs year ago.
my legs being cold and clammy ar tilres.
Now the circulation there is ak full anil rs
brisk rs at any other part of Try body |
used to be so lightheaded and dizzy from
my nervous disorder that | frequently fell
while crossing the floor of my house
Spring is coming, and l never felt better
in my life, and L am looking forward to
busy season of work"
