y In 1868 MIR. Hunter WAS serving at the
Front in Co. c., lst Mo. Cavalry, and while

battlcr or coppcrhcad. The regimental
Surgeon was not of that opinion, but dag
tnosed it as case of saddle cramp and acute
pheumatism of a severe type Here is the
7old soldiers own story
1.-The regimental surgeon informed my
tcaptain that would not be able for some
atime, if ever, to ride my horse so was ap-
pointed commissary sergeant of the COM
3pany, in which capacity served until Sep
tember, 1854, when from lack of exercise

with chronic diarrhna. Neuralgia, dys-
5pepsia and curvature of the spine soon
added their presence to my weight of woe
and at my discharge i was a pretty badly
used up man OF course was obliged to
undergo medical treatment, and had nu-
merous physicians who attempted to give
me relief without success, and as the years
rolled OH hope grew DINNER until ! saw
nothing that would assuage my suffering

Thus | dragged on q miserable existence
until 1890, when to and to my misery
caught Ia grippe, and when that left me- all
my diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. | was not able to walk
any distance, and when came to Oklahoma

been irregular, missing about every third

and kidneys began once more to do the
labors for which they were intended. con-

arm, which had grown useless, and my
hand so ncrveless that could not grasp

and shoulder as well as ever. can chop
wood, and often walk lU or 20 miles and can
plough whole day.

be imagined how happy feel and how
changed the world looks. | have offered to
pay for Pink Pills for others who cannot
afford to buy them, a debt of gratitude
that can thus partially pay; and try to
let everybody know what the remedy has
