From the Courier and Freeman, Potsddn,
N. r
st. Lawrence County has q national repu-
tation as the banner county Of the Empire
State. Men reared in old St. Lawrence have
achieved notonety as consuls, governors
and renowned jurists, and have distinguished
themselves and the land Of their nativity In
every walk OF life. There Is an indehnable
| something that lends strength to manhood
there, and gives him the bone and sinew and
the mental energy that brings success In life.
| The winds, first blowing from the majestic
| st. Lawrence River, and then from the pine
and spruce-covered mountains OF the Adj
ronoacks, give richness to the atmosphere.
The outdoor life in this climate gives man
strong and sturdy physique, and his free
and Independent mode Of Lying gives him
rugged character.
John Henry Henderson wcs a mar that
enjoyed all these sturdy characteristics He
was always strong man and had never had
u fever or other serious Illness Brought up
| in a prosperous farming community he pc
| came one Of its mentally and physically
| strong citizens and gained livelihood at
carpentry. as did Joseph in the Bible days.
| But at last break came that threatened to
| forever wreck his health and happiness and
end his days of usefulness and activity.

and my income was derived from repairing
and building for my farmer neighbors.
"It was on hot July afternoon in the
summer OF "a that one of my neighbors
sent for me to come out to his hay field he
had broken the reach to his wagon and
wanted 1t repaired at once so that he would
not be delayed In his haying. To fix the
wagon I had TO have long, heavy plank,
and the nearest could find was mile and
half distant"
Many a man would shrink from shoulder
ing heavy plank on hot afternoon and
walking mile and half, but Mr.. Hender.

had always been strong and so carried
the plank into the field and mended the
wagon. Before the afternoon was over I
found that I had done wrong, that l had
hurt my back and had to lie down. while
sharp pains darted through my back, head
and neck.
"That was the beginning Of my trouble.
I found that couldn't straighten up alter
that and had to quit work: The pains
troubled me almost constantly, aId a1ter

relief. became useless and life became
burden to me, and couldn't even write so

Lniments were no good, and nothing gave
relief until began using DR.. Williams Pink
