Scenes at HatCher's Creek and
Petersburg Recalled.
John B. Scace Speaks Reporter of Stirring Scenes
Escaped with Slight Wound, but, Like Other Vet
Grams, Has Suffered Since-A Story that
Reads Like Page from History.

| term Of his re.enlistment Sergeant scace par
ticipated in some of the hottest struggles OF
the war. Many gray-haired veteran to-
day recalls the scenes of Hatcher's Run, the
fall Of Petersburg and the battle of Sailors
| Creek.
After his honorable discharge, June 4,
| 1865, Mr.. Scace returned to Albany and
settled down once again to his business and
social interests. lie has resided in the city
ever since. 1t would seem that now, of all
times, his peace and happiness would have
been uninterrupted. Such was not to be the
case, for four years ago, while engaged in
experimenting the raising of the immense
smokestack of the Albany, Electric power
house, the lever Of loosened windlass struck
him heavy blow across the back. The
ettcctbf the blow was not at first apparent,
he being able to leave his bed in few days.
But the worst was to follow, for without
warning he was seized with sciatic rheuma-
tisln in all its vrulence. Untold agony fol-
lowed.
Said Mr.. scace, "I could not sleep for the
pain. No one will know the torturcs the
lived during those days. ] became little
more than skin and bones, and it seemed like
life didn't have anything but suffering in it.
Cures? / tried every socallcd rheumatic

think everyone who knows me will tell you
what it did for me. Pink Pills is the grandest
medicine ever discovered, and if my recon-
mcndation will do it any good / want you to
use it. ! hope others will hear of it and be
b"neiitcd as have been. Everyone should
hear Of it. | can't soy too much for them"
Mr.. Scace exclaimed enthusiastically in con.
cluSion.
This is but one of the many eases in which
Pink Pills have taken such bcncfcent part
in the history of humanity.
Mr.. Scace is now enjoying the fruits of an
unusually large business managed solely by
himself and covering almost the entire east
crn portion Of the State. Mr.. Scacc is also
an ivory carver of marked ability, which he
follows solely for his own pleasure. Many
little trinkets, carved by the light of the
campfire, attest his skill in this direction.
Far from being solicited to recommend the
curative which had taken such load Of
misery from his life, in his gratitude his
praise for it is unstinted and unceasing.
And from his own statements one may easily
see that when he does cease to sing its vir-
tues, it will be to answer the last mastering
in.
