Sol. Yewell of 90 Hill Ave-, indianapolis,
Ind, who is well known To the dramatic pro-
fession, when a boy seventeen years old
enlisted in Company Ill, 18th Indiana Vol
unteer Infantry, the first three years regi-
ment that marched TO the front from the
Hoosier State. In the fall of 1862 he was
honorably discharged, because of disabili
ties contracted in the service. After a short
time spent at home he went TO New York
and entered college. He was a bright young
fellow, diigent student and great future
seemed opening before him. But he again
heard the bugles and the fires of patriotism
were again aglow in his bosom. He enlisted
as a recruit in Company M of the Second
Harris Light Cavalry, Kilpatrick's famous
old regiment, and was soon again at the
front. There was great demand for cav:
airy in Virginia, and the active young
trooper found plenty of fighting up and
down the Shenandoah Valley and in the
various campaigns on the Potomac. In 1864
he attracted the notice of the dashing and
dauntless Custer, and was selected as one of
his famous body guard, in which he served
until the close of the war.
After the war Mr.. Yewell began to be
known as a skilled newspaper writer and
correspondent, and he was later in demand
as a theatrical writer and press agent, pro-
fession in which he achieved signal success.
He was hero in private life as he had been
on the field and in the camp, and few of
Sol. Yewell had any idea that he was
great sufferer from diseases and disabilities,
contracted during the war. Such, however,
was the fact. He suffered from rheumatism,
hemorrhoids and chronic tonsilitis for years.
AS If these were not enough" said Mr..
Yewell, the other day at the Marion Home
relating his experience TO the reporter, 81
was doomed to fall victim to the grippe in
1890. This last fell monster accentuated all
my previous troubles and added, seemingly
half a dozen new ones. 1t was in November
of that year that | was compelled to give UP

where | remained for several months Ny
condition became so alarming that the sur
geons here, who are my very good friends,
were compelled to admit they could do moth
ing for me. My locomotor ataxia was at
tended with vertigo and was liable to fall
at any unexpected moment. The surgeons
having nothing else in mind recommended
that last resource-a change of climate. So
in May, 1894, went to Boston, Mass. had
secured employment at the Columbia The
atre there as press writer, as | was deter
mined to do something. / remained there
two seasons:
"My vertigo and paralysis continued to
distress me greatly. l consulted a number
of eminent physicians in Boston and became
a patient of the Harvard College clinic on
Bennett Street. The surgeons there APP
peared to desire to make much of me as a
patient and | was willing. One day doctor
there gave me box of pills The wrapper
and all identifying marks were gone, but the
coating of the pills was of pink color.
81 had scarcely used the box before,
much to my surprise, / found that the loco

box the vertigo entirely disappeared, my

about four boxes of these pills before knew
what they were. At the close of the dram
attic season of 1895, / took vacation, going

insisted upon knowing the name of the won
derful pills that he had been giving me.
He laughed and said, Il have been giving
you remedy called DR.. Williams Pink

cine | ever took, and | can directly trace to

Affections | was at times seriously troubled
with n valvular affection of the heart, but
the pills have proven to be a. splendid
remedy for that also. / certainly believe
they strengthen and correct the action of
that organ"
Mr.. Yewell has a clear, fresh complexion,
the hue of health, weighs two hundred and
twenty pounds, has frst-class appetite,
and to use his own words: 'I sleep like a
top" He is fifty-two years old, and while
Williams Pink Pills have not made young
man out of him, they have certainly re-
stored him so at he bids fair to see many
years of usefulness.

ing words to the reporter Gas | have an
offer to go to Boston and take up my old
theatrical work"

restored to the pursuit which he so long
adorned 60,
