It Was Brought on by a Cold Which
Settled in the Kidneys.
The Patient is a Veteran, Having
Served i'm the Nineteenth Illi-
nOis Infantry. He is Now
q Member of KolteS
Post, New York.

Morris PreslaneF, Of No. 1 Pitt Street, New
York, who is real estate agent and collector
of rents, caught a severe cold early last
spring, which settled upon his kidneys
Soon he began to suffer severe pain in his
backbone, sides and chest. His symptoms
grew rapidly more alarming, until at last he
was as helpless as child and could scarcely
move as he lay on his bed. AS Mr.. Preslaner
is well known in the part of town where he
resides, he had many sympathizers, who did
all they could to help him.
Though native of Berlin, Mr.. Preslaner
has lived in this country for forty years,
having served the country of his adoption by
three years hard service in the civil war;
He enlisted with the Nineteenth Illinois
Infantry, taking part in many battles and
marching with General Sherman to the sea.
While in Georgia, Mr.. Preslaner was pro-
mOted to first sergeant for bravery on the
field of action. He is now member of
Koltes Post G. A. R., and is one of the most
popular men in the post
Mr.. Preslaner told reporter the story of
his dreadful illness and wonderful recovery.
The reporter met him as he was returning
from long walk and, saying that he had
heard of his wonderful cure, asked him to
tell the story. When Mr.. Preslaner was
comfortably seated in his pleasant parlor, he
told the following story, which, he said he
hoped everyone who was suffering as he had
suffered would read. His words were as fol-
IAwe 60 To bnOiD with I Ua "a ION eiolY ar
year and a month ago, having taken a Sc
we're cold which settled on my kidneys. At
First | thought the pain | suffered would
soon pass away, but, instead of doing this, it
grew more intense every day, so that in a
week l could walk only with considerable
difficulty.
81 called in a doctor, who said had loco
motor ataxia and began treating me for that
disease. He did me no good, and all sum
mer long could scarcely attend to my bust
ness at all. Then | called another doctor
and took his medicine for several weeks but
experienced no relief, DR.. Truman Nichols,
of No. 287 East Broadway, who | at last
called in, helped me more than any of the
other doctors, but along towards fall | grew
worse, despite his treatment. | think DR..
Nichols is a good doctor and understood my
case, but despise this fact his medicines did
me no lasting good.
Early in November the little strength
had in my legs left me and l was unable to
stand. The pain in my back and sides be-
came almost unbearable, and my limbs grew
cold. An electric battery | bought failed to
help me, and for weeks l felt myself gradu-
ally growing weaker until all hope left me.
"Some time before this | had read of a
wonderful cure man had received from DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, but
was so prejudiced against what l thought
was patent medicine of the usual worthless
character that could not make up my mind
to try them AS my pains increased and
death seemed coming near, thought of what
had read and of the symptoms of the man
who had been cured. They were precisely
the same as mine, and at last, with my wife's
earnest entreaty, 1 consented to try the Pink
Pills.
~ am now convinced that these pills
saved my life. Gradually my strength be-
gan to return, the desire to live grew stronger
