term Of his rc-enllstrent Sergeant Ecaco par
ticipated in some Of the hottest struggles Of
the war;. Many q gray-haired veteran to-
day recalls the scenes of Hatcher's Run, the
fall OF Petersburg and tho baltic of Sailors
| Creek.
After his honorable discharge, June A,
1868, 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 age, while engaged in
experimenting the raising Of the Immense
smokestack Of the Albany Electric power
house, the lever Of a looscncd windlnss struck
him O heavy blow across the back. Tho
effect of the blow was not at FIRST apparent,
he being able to leave his bed in a few days.
But the worst was to follow, for without
warning he was seized with sciatic rheuma-
tism in all its virulence. Untold agony fol-
lowed.
Said Mr.. Scace, 81 could not sleep fer the
pain. No one will know the fortunes the
rheumatism gave me. / don't know how I
lived during. those days. ! became little
moro than skin and bones, and it seemed like
life didn't have anything but suffering in it.
Cures? l tried every so-called rheumatic
cure that was ever invented. / gave all Of
them a good trial before I stopped taking
them. My friends and neighbors recon.
mended remedy after remedy that they heard
OF, but my. rheumatism went on just the
same. Well, after l had almost had tho life
tortured out of me, / came across a news
paper account of DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
and l thought / might as well add another
name to the list as not, so ! ordered some Of
my druggist.
II tell you, I was glad in those days to
hear of anything that could give me any
hope ct all. Yes, l got them, and before I
had taken taoo bores that pain began to leave
me. Why, 1 couldn't understand it. I
before l had taken q halfdozen of those
boxes / ~as cured. The suffering which had
made my life almost unbearable for SO long
had disappeared. / was q new man.
II began to get strong. / picked up in
flesh, and l went back to my business with
all the vigor and vim Of q young man. I
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-
incubation will do it any good I want you to
use it. ! hope others will hear Of it and be
benefited ca l have been. Everyone should
hear of 1t. l can't say too much for them"
Mr.. Scace exclaimed enthusiastically in con.
~clusion.
This is but one of the many cases in which
Pink Pills have taken such q bcnefcent 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
ern portion of the State. Mr.. Scace 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 a 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.

densed form, all the elements necessary to
