From the Times, Kansas City, Mo.
Robert n. Hunter is an old veteran Of
Arlington, in the territory of Oklahoma.
Who, after IS years Of helpless suffering is
now 30 Tar rejuvenated that he has taken
up,a quarter section Of land Ito grow up
with the country" as he says.
IN 1853 MIR. Hunter was serving at the
front in Co. G., 1st Mo Cavalry, and while
on q long forced march was 10 days and
nights in the saddle during very rainy
weather. Be was, shortly after getting
into camp, from the exposure he had gone
through taken with such severe crampinRs
and swelling of the limbs, that il was at
first surmised that he had been bitten by q
rattler or . copperhead. The regimental
surgeon was not of that opinion, but dag
nosed it as case of saddle cramp and acute
rheumatism of a severe type. Here is the
old soldiers own story:
1.-THE regimental surgeon informed nv
captain that would mot be able for some
time, if ever, TO ride my horse, so was ap-
pointed commissary sergeant Of the COM
pany, in which capacity served until Sep
TENDER, 1864, when from lack of exercise,
owing to my crippled condition. l was taken
with chronic diarrhOea. Neuralgia. dys-
pepsia and curvature Of the spine soon
added their presence to my weight of woe,
and at my discharge was pretty badly
used mp man. OF course l was obliged TO
undergo medical treatment. and had nu-
merous physicians 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 and to my misery I
caught la grippe. and when that left me, all
my diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
f,o< aYno I h
any distance, and when came to Oklahoma
in 1893, was too ill and weak and helpless to
look at the quarter section had taken up.
'In August. 1893, read in q newspaper
that DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie had cured the effects Of Ia grippe in q
great many cases. so thought it could do
me no harm to try them, and did.
Before had finished the first box nv
cough was cured, and all pulmonary symp-
toms had disappeared, and my general
health became better, especially INV appe-
tite and digestion. Ny heart, which had
been irregular, missing about every third
beat, resumed normal action. and my liver
and kidneys began once more to do the
labors for which they were intended. con-
tinued to take the pills. and soon my right
arm. which had grown useless, and my
hand 50 nerveless that could not grasp
pen, became much BETTER and eventually
well l can now use INV right arm, hand
and shoulder 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 De. Williams Pink Pills. and
with my pension. ! hope to be able from my
labors to lay mp little money. As had
entirely given up all hope of health, it may
be imagined how happy feel and how
chanred the world looks have offered to
pay for Pink Pills for others who cannot
afford to buy them, as a debt of gratitude
that can thus partially pay; and try to
let every body know what the remedy has
done for me.
II am not able to express my changed
feelings, nor could l if had far higher
command of language than now have. I
hope that this ties: norial may be the
means of others knowing that there is re-
lief for them in DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People.
