Strong Men Made Helpless lnvalids--
The Story of One Who Suffered Day
and Night for Twenty Years.

From the Chatham (Canada) Ban
ncr. Everyone living in and around
the village of Wheatley knows Mr.. Pc
ter Sippe. who has been resident of
the place for upwards of twenty years
and who during the whole of that pc
riod up to last year was a constant
sufferer from acute rheumatism, com
plicated with other troubles, until he
was worn almost to shadow. At the
age of 20 he joined the 21st New York
Volunteers. and after being a member
of the organization for three years,
he Joined the New York cavalry, and
served through the war of the rebel
lion. He took part in the historic bat
ties of Bulls Run, Fredericksburg,
Culpepper. etc, and at one time rode
eighty miles at n stretch. carrying dis
patches through the enemy's lines. On
another occasion he was on horseback
for four days and five nights, and it
is little wonder that such hardships
left him, as they did thousands of 9th
ers with wrecked constitutions. While
in the army. as Il result of poor food
and often worse water he was IT.
tackled with darrhoea. which assumed
chronic form. This of course wea-
kened him. and he fell an easy prey
to the pains and terrors of rheuma-
tsm. To correspondent of the Ban
ner he said: IL never expected to iJe
any better in this world, as | had tri-
ed scores of medicines which brought
me no relief at all. Sometimes for
weeks at time I could not lie down
or sleep, and could eat but little. |
was not only troubled with rheuma-
tism. but at times was subject TO
fainting spells. and at other times ev-
erything appeared to turn black be-
fore my ewes. | would often feel sick
at my stomache at which times food
would prove loathsome to me. My kid
neyS also troubled me greatly and my
nervous system seemed completely
shattered. Tongue can scarcely tell
how much | endured during those
long and weary years. About year
ago was advised to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. and it was grand day for
me that I began their use. After +
had used few boxes my pains had
decreased and | was considerably bet
ter. Later. through continued use
of the pills, ] could eat, sleep and felt
as able to work as | had done TWEEN
strong and if any of my old comrades
see this and are afflicted I would urge
them to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
