History Of Horace Robertson. OF john
SON County, Iowa.
From the TINES. West Branch. Io,ca.
Horace Robertson is a prosperous farm
kr of West Branch, johnson County,
Iowa. He is a veteran Of the late war.
having served for three years and twenty
one days in the Tenth Iowa Infantry.
Since the war he has further don his
duty as good ctizn by serving several
terms as township clerk, trustee and SUI
pervisor.
MFR. Robertson suffered excrucinting
pain for years, suffered as only confirm
oil rheumatic can suffer. At his work it
was an unwelcome, ever present compan-
ION, while his nights were rendered most
miserable by the racklng pains OF this
this disease He told a reporter who was
interested in his case and who is asso-
Gated with him in the noble order of the
Grand Army of the Republic, that he has
been confined to his bed for days at time
and that the pain In his back and legs
was almost uncomfortable and made him at
times almost helpless. He has been treat
ed from time to time by different physi-
clans and has taken sever l kinds of pat
cnt medicines, all of which afforded him
put little If any relief Mr.. 20 ertson was
also afflicted with disease Of the kidneys,
from which he could find no permanent
relief. He could not retain his urine,
which was highly colored. and was com.
PEELED to get up several times during each
night. He has also at times been wholly
unable to control the movement of his
legs, they having lost their natural pow
crs. In fine, Mr.. Robertson was q sorely
afflicted man, both from rheumatism and
disease Of the Kidneys.
He tells the reporter that many months
ago he was indu.eu to try Pink Pills for
I'ale People, put up at Schenectady. n.
Y, by the DR.. Williams Medicine Com
pany. Had only taken tn >e pills short
time when he began to experience relief
from both rheumatism and kidne, trou-
BILE. After taking them regularly for sew
eral months he found most happily that
the racking pain was gone ON h. back,
as also the incessant ache from bis legs.
The kidney trouble also showed great
improvement, so much 40 that t,r a lon;
while he has been able to comfortably re-
tain his urine by getting up only once
during the night. He is now not entirely
free from kidney trouble. his urine being
scant and somewhat colored. He thinks.
however. that this may be attributable
TO the fact that he has not taken any
Pink Pills for some time, and also that
he has been working very hard of late.
Mr.. Robertson told the reporter that he
believes himself cured Of rheumatism and
thinks it probable that further and per-
sistent use of Pink Pills may complete the
cure OI Ills hluucyS dITeduv 30 HaVpIiy
improved. He is now able to do good
days work for man verging on GO years,
has fair appetite and sleeps quite well.
Mr.. Robertson has now the best health
he has had for years. and he says that
Pink Pills have accomplished this happy
result, and to them he gives his grateful
| praise, and also recommends these valu-
able pills to all who are similarly afflicted.
| Should any one doubt the truthfulness
| of the above statement and Mr.. Robert
| sons character as a truthful man. the re-
| porter suggests that such persons write
! to Mr.. A. G. Hunter. postmaster at West
| Branch. Iowa. for confederation.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
| the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
| shattered nerves. They are for sale by
| all druggists. or may be had by mail from

ectady. n. Y. for Soc per box. or six
