mine effected by DIR. Williams Pink Pills
box and continued their use with good re-
suits. / soon began to gain in strength and
health and felt the good effect of the Pills.
"They were the first things that had been
able to give me relief They have been of
great benefit to me and can strongly recom-
mend them to anyone suffering from
paralysis"
The case of another veteran has come to
the attention of this paper and il is here given:
When, in 1861, the fate of our Union hung
| trembling in the balance, and President
Lincoln issued his famous call for volun-
teers to 60 to the front and fight for its pres
ervation, an immediate response swept over
! the North like tidal wave, and regiment
after regiment of brave boys in blue quickly
sprang up from every quarter. Unmindful
of the privations of soldiers life, and the
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 E.
| G. Matthews, who enlisted as member of
Company D.. 10Sd 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 infammatory rheumatism and
this developed into trouble that remained
with him for over thirty years. He finally
became cured of it and to representative
of the CoHrir-Herald he spoke Of his case
as follows:
During the late war was member Of
Company d, 103d Ohio Infantry, and per-
formed all the duties incident to a soldiers
| life from 1862 to 1865. While at the front
owing to the Irivations Of our soldier life, !
contracted intlammatory 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 1 went back to Ohio to the place
where I enlisted and was laid up there in
bed for y weeks. then got out for short
time and was again laid up for long spelE
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 severe
kidney troubles and other diseases that baf-
fled 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 l spent hundreds of dollars but il
seemed to be all in vain, and nothing seemed
to reach my trouble and give me relief
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and although !
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. / took
four boxes more and then felt SO well that
discontinued their use.
al 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
case was particularly deep seated one, o.
. long standing, and SO I want to let other,
who are afflicted as was, know the benef
!; that these Pink Pills for Pale People have
been to me-"
