Robert H. Hunter is an old veteran of
Arlington, IN the territory OF Oklahoma,
who after 50 years OF helpless suffering Is
now so far rejuvenated that ne has taken up
a quarter section of land ito grow up with
the country, as he says
In 1858 Mr.. Hunter was serving at the
front in Co. g, list Mo. Cavalry, and while
on long forced march was ten days and
nights in the saddle during very rainy
weather. He was, shortly after getting into
camp, from the exposure ne had gone
through taken with such severe crampings
and swelling of the limbs, that it was at first
surmised that he had been bitten by rat
tier or copperhead. The reginental surgeon
was not of that opinion, but diagnosed 1t as
case of saddle cramp and acute rheumatism
of very severe type Here Is the old sol
dlers own story:
The regimental surgeon informed my
| captain that l would not be able for some
| time, if ever, to ride my horse, so / was APP
! pointed commissary sergeant OF the COM
| pany, in which capacity served until Sep
| TENDER, 1864, when from lack or exercise,
| owing to my crippled condition, l was taken
| with chronic diarrhoea- Neuralgia, dyspep-
| STA, and curvature Of the spine soon added
| their presence to my weight of woe, and at
my discharge L was a pretty badly used up
| man. OF course ! was obliged to undergo
| medical treatment, and had numerous ply
| sicians who attempted to give me relief
| without success, and as the years rolled on
| hope grew DINNER until L saw nothing That
would assuage my suffering but the grave
.sThus | dragged on miserable existence
until 1890, when to add to my misery |
caught la grippe, and when that left me, all
| my diseases We're emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. / was not able to walk any
| distance, and when l came to Oklahoma in
1893, was too i'll and weak and helpless to
look at the quarter section had taken up
'In August, 1898, / read in a newspaper
| that DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
| pie had cured the effects of la grippe in a
| great many cases, SO thought it would do
| me no harm to try them, and did.
Before / had finished the first box my
cough was cured, and all pulmonary symp-
toms had disappeared, and my general
health became better, especially my appetite
irregular, missing about every third beat,
resumed normal action, and my liver and
kindeys began once more to do the laborS
for which they We're intended continued
to take the pills, and soon my right arm,
which had grown useless, and my hand so
nerveless that l could not grasp pen, be
came much better, and eventually well. ]
can now my right arm, hand and shout
der as well as ever. l can chop wood, and
often walk 10 or 20 miles, and can plough d
whole day.
:, Life looks altogether, different TO me
with my pension, l hope to be able from my
labors to lay up little money As l ha6
entirely given up all hope of health, it may
eSangedf Ss m hST h o sae o aRd
pay for Pink Pills for others who canno
afford to buy them, as debt of gratitude
that l thus partially pay, and try t.
let everybody know what the remedy ha
done for me.
Il am not able to express my changes
feelings, nor could | If | had ii far highe
: command of language than l now have
hope that this testimonial may be the mean
of others knowing that there is relief TO
: them in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pal
s People.
