/ Robert II. Hunter Is an old veteran OF
! Arlington, in the territory OF Oklahoma,
who after % years OF helpless suffering Is
now SO far reJuvenated that he has taken up
I q quarter section OF land to grow up with
the country he says.
In 1868 Mr.. Hunter was serving at the
I front in Co. q, lst Mo. Cavalry, and while
on a long forced march was ten days and
nights IN the saddle during very rainy
weather. He was, shortly after getting into
camp, from the exposure he had gone
l through taken with such severe erampings
and swelling OF the limbs, that 1t was at tirst
/ surnlscd that ne had been bitten by rat
tier or coppeThead. The regimental surgeon
was not OF that opinion, but diagnosed II as
case of saddle cramp and acute rheumatism
oil a very severe type. Here Is the old sol
dIer,s own story:
The reglmcntal surgeon informed my
captain that | would not be able for some
time, II ever, to ride my horse, so was ap-
I pointed commissary sergeant OF the com
pany, IN which capacity ] served until Sep
tember, 1854. when from lack OF exercise,
owing to my crippled condition, | was taken
with chronic dlarrhoea. Neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, and curvature OF the spine soon added
their presence to my weight OF woe, and at
my discharge | WAS q pretty badly used up
man. OF course | was obliged to undergo
medical treatment, and had numerous ply
slcIans who attempted to give ME relief
without success, and as the years rolled on
hope grew DINNER until | saw nothing that
would assuage my suffering but the grave.
Thus | dragged on a miserable existence
until 1890, when to add to my misery |
caught 10 grippe, and when that lett me. all
my diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. | was not able to walk any
distance, and when 1 came to Oklahoma in
1893, was too III and weak and helpless TO
look at the quarter section | had taken up.
In August, lsg3, | read in a newspaper
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie had cured the effects OF la grippe in
great many cases, SO / thought 1t would do
me no harm to try them, and did.
"Brfore / had finished the first box my
cough was cured, and all pulmonary symp-
toms had disappeared and my general
health became better, especially my appetite
and digestion. My heart, which had been
irregular, missing about every third beat.
resumed normal action, and my liver and
kIndeys began once more to do the lnbors
for which they we're intended. | continued
to take the pills. and soon my right arm.

Eeryeless that | could not grasp a pen, be

can now use my right arm, hand and shoul.
der as well as ever. ] can chop wood, and
often walk 10 or 20 miles, and can plough
whole day.
Life looks altogether different to me,
thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
labors to lay up little money. As | had
entirely gwen up all hope of health, it may
be eIimagined how happy | feel, and how
changed the world looks have offered to
pay for Pink Pills for others who cannot
afford to buy them, as debt OF gratitude
that ! can thus partially pay, and | try to
let everybody know what the remedy has
done for me
II am not able to express my changed
feelings, nor could ii had a far higher
command OF language than now have |
hope that this testimonial may be the means
OF others knowing that there is relief for
them in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People.
