"They were the first things that had beer
able to give me relief. They have been O

The case of another veteran hes come t.
the attention Of this paper and 1t is here given
When, in 1861, the fate of our Union huns
trembling in the balance, and President
Lincoln issued his famous call for volun
teers to 60 to the front and fight for its pres
e~rvation, an immediate response swept over
the North like a tidal wave, and regiment
after regiment of brave boys in blue quickly
sprang up from every quarter. Unmindful
horrors Of war, they shouldered their
muskets and marched to the front to battle
for their country.
Among the first to answer the call was Z.
G.. Matthews, who enlisted as a member Of
Company d, 103d Ohio Infantry, and who
fought bravely until the close of the great
struggle. Mr.. Matthews now lives with his
wife and family of six children and grand
children on his farm near Akron, Tuscola
County, Michigan. While in the ranks he
contracted infiammatory rheumatism and
this developed into a trouble that remained
with him for over thirty years. He finally
became cured of it and to a representative
Of the Courier Herald he spoke of his case
as follows:
During the late war | was a member OF
Company d., 10Sd Ohio Infantry, and per
formed all the duties incident to a soldiers
life from 1862 to 1865. While at the front
owing to the privations of our soldier life, ]
contracted ~inflammatory rheumatism, and
this finally developed into a permanent form
of rheumatism, that has always troubled me
since that time. When / was mustered out
in 1865 ! went back to Ohio to the place
where / enlisted and was laid up there in
bed for ~ weeks. | then got out for a short
time and was again laid up for long spell.
Since then | have been a victim of these at
tacks and they have laid me up for much of
the time.
"My case was also complicated by sevefe
kidney troubles and other diseases that baf-
fed the best medical skill. | have tried
many physicians and also proprietary arti-
cles of all kinds that were said TO be good for
such troubles as mine. In my search for
health | spent hundreds of dollars, but 1t
seemed to be all in vain, and nothing seemed
to reach my trouble and give me relief.
About a year ago a friend advised me to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and although j
had no faith in them, ! bought a box and be-
gan to take them. After | had begun on the
third box a great change in my condition be-
gan to appear, and my trouble for over thirty
years standing began to be cured. l took
four boxes more and then felt SO well that |
discontinued their use.
81 am now able to work on my farm and
have no fear of the old trouble coming back
as long as can get box of Pink Pills. My
ease was a particularly deep seated one, Of
long standing, and so / want to let others
who are afflicted as was, know the benef.
that these Pink ills for Pale People have
been to me-"
