A GETTYSBURG SURVIVOR.
MILTON r. SWEET SPEAKS OF
HIS EXPERIENCE SINCE
THE WAR.

From the JoAr'nGl-Press, St Cloud, MINI.
Each day, each month, each year, the
Grand Army of the Republic is growing
smaller. Almost each hour is some vet
eran soldier of the rebellion responding to
the call of the Great Commander and
joining the army of the silent majority.
At such an alarming rate is the death rate
increasing among the army membership
that statisticians tell us that it will be but
q few years before the veterans will be
but memory. 1t is for this reason that
the entire public is interested to hear of
the recovery from sickness of comrade.
James M. McKelvey Post, G. A. H., OF
st. Cloud, Mimi, contains one such, Mil
ton e. Sweet. No man stands higher IN
the community than does he and through
his strict integrity and honesty. OF con-
viction he has won the respect OF all VINO
know him. Mr.. Sweet has for many years
been resident of Minnesota, and for the
past ten years has resided in this city,
where he is engaged in the manufacture
of carpets He is now 81 years of age.
He served in the war three years and sev-
en- months, with Company e, New York,
participating in sixty battles, including
Gettysburg.
During the war Mr.. Sweet contracted
heart disease, which was accompanied Dy
excessive nervousness. AS age increased
his symptoms grew worse ana many were
the remedies resorted to by him without
the slightest relief.
We will let Mr.. Sweet tell the story IN
his own words:
'Six months ago, at the suggestion Of
comrade, who had been benefited by DR..
Williams Pink Pills, / began their use,
and [ very cheerfully state that they have
inyigorated and built up my nervous sys-
tenn in a wonderful way. They have done
me world of good, and | have been great
ly benefited by their use, where everything
else I took failed to give me the relleT
sought for. / have recommended them to
a large number of my old comrades, and 1t
is a pleasure for me to do SO, tor feel
that the manufacturers are deserving OF
any good that / can do them in saying a
good word for their product, in return for
the good they have done me. l will gladly
recommend these pills to any one writing
me if they doubt the genuineness OF TINS
statement"
When interviewed, Mr. Sweet felt so
grateful for the good that he had received
through DR.. Williams Pink Pills that he
did not have the slightest hesitancy IN go
ing on record. His word is considered his
bond by all who know him throughout this
section. Mr.. Sweet is not the only one IN
Stearns County who is using this celebra-
ted medicine and with equally good re-
suits.
