nerve which was the seat of trouble. Mr..
Peterson, unwilling to subject his body to
such severe treatment, objected, thinking
that it could be made better, if not cured, in
some more humane way. All kinds of patent
medicines had been tried. At times he
thought he was enjoying the comfort aud
pleasure of partial relief, but soon he
would be back in the same old rut making
his life one of misery and afiiction. Instead
of life being one of improvement and Joy, it
was one Of continual toll and suffering.
Electric currents, which have gained such =
foothold among the remedies for rheumatic
and neuralgia pains, were tried with only
partial relief for while. He was treated
by nearly every physician in the county.
All kinds of medicines were tried without
avail. Much money mad been spent in vain.
Still was this disease like vampire sucking
away at his miserable life. The doctors
finally gave him up, saying nothing could
relieve him: They had tried every remedy
known to the medical world, and now they
thought it best to keep the money which
was being spent for Doctors bills and medi-
cines and make his last days as pleasant for
him as his miserable condition would allow.
He was placed before State Board of pen.

be useless to spend any more money in this
direction or to try to improve his health, for

by which his miserable life could be made
more happy; Gas long as there is life there

Pills for Pale People. He then renewed
courage to try again. He ordered one-hah
dozen boxes, and by taking pills one day
rested the following night better than he had
rected for vaors 60 his casa that
he took them nearly six months. He began
to gradually mend and is now hale and
hearty man. He now goes anywhere on the
| farm that he desires, and is now able to write
good, plain hand and sign his name to his
vouchers, and is able to do his chores about
the house. While he is too old to labor
hard, he is in such a condition that he can
spend his last days here on earth in peace
and comfort.
These pills were not known to this section
of country till Mr.. Peterson tried them, and
now they can be had at any drug store.
Hundreds of boxes have been sold on account
of the reputation of this one case. At least
half of the people, not knowing the name Of
the pills, call for "the kind Mr.. Peterson
tried"
