opportunities offered here, the young ladies
now being teachers in the public schools OF
the State.
Mr.. Sweet is now q man 6fty-one years Of
are and was born and raised in Saratoga
County. New York, from which State he en-
listed In the WA of the rebellion on the 23d

People:
"bix months ago, at the suggestion Of a
comrade, who had been benefited by DR..
William Pink Pills, / took up their use,
carrying out the instruction faithfully, aud
I very cheerfully state that they are the
greatest nerve builders / ever took. They
have done me a world of good and I have
been greatly benefited by their use, where
everything else / took failed to give me the
relief I sought for. l have recommended
them 10 q large number Of my old comrades
and it i Q pleasure for ne to do 80, for / feel
thak TIE manufactures are deserving Of any
Rosd that | can do them in saying q good
word for their product, in return for the good
they have dsne me. l will gladly recommend
these pills to any one writing me If they
doubt the g~enuineness of this statement"
When interviewed, Mr.. Sweet felt so CRATE
full for the good that he had received through
DR.. Williams Pink Pills that he did not
have the slightest hesitancy in going on
record. His word is considered his bend by
aH who know him throughout this section.
Mr.. Sweet is not the only one In Stesrns
County who IL using this celebrated medi-
cine with equally good results.
