History of Horace Robertson, of John
son County, Iowa.
From the Times. West Branch, loua.
Horace Robertson IL q prosperous farm.
or or West Branch, johnson County,
iowa. lie IL u 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 done his
duty as n good citizn by serving several
terms as township clerk, trustee and SUI
pervisOr.
Mr.. Robertson suffered excruciating
pain for years, suffered as only a confirm.
ed rheumatic can suffer. At his work IL
was an unwelcome, ever present compan-
Ion, while his nights were rendered most
miserable by the racking pains of this
this disease. He told a reporter who was
interested ia his case and WHO is asso.
ciated with him in the noble order of the
Grand Army of the Republic, that he has
been confined to his bed for days nj a 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 several kinds of pat
ent medicines, all of which afforded him
but little IL any relief. Mr.. Robertson was
also afflicted with disease of the kidneys,
from which he could find no permanent
rellet. lie 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
ers. In fine, Mr.. Robertson was n sorely
afflicted man, both from rheumatism and
disease of the kidneys.
He tells the reporter that many months
ago he was induced to try Pink Pills for
Yale People; put up at Schenectady, N.
u, by the DIR, Williams Medicine Com
pany. Had only taken these pills n short
time when he began to experience relief
from both rheumatism and kidney trou-
Die. After taking them regularly for sew
tral mouths he found most happily that
me racking pain was gone from his back,
as also the incessant ache from his legs.
The kidney trouble also showed great
Improvement, SO much so that for a long
while be has been able to comfortably re.
tain his urine by getting up only once
during the night. He is now not entirely
Tree from kidney trouble. his urine being
scant and somewhat colored. He thinks.
however, that this may be attributable
70 the fact that he has not taken any
Pink Pills for some time, and also that
ne has been working very hard of late.
MIR. Robertson told the reporter that ne
believes himself cured of rheumatism and
thinks II probable that a further and per-
sistent use Of Pink Pills may complete the
cure of his kidneys already so happily
improved, He Is now able TO do Il good
days work for a nan verging on 60 years,
has a fair appetite and sleeps quite well.
Mr.. Robertson has now the best health
he has had for years, and he says that
Fin 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 aud Mr.. Robert
son q character as u truthful man, the re-
porter suggests that such persons write
to Mr., A: {. Hunter, postmaster at West
Branch. Iowa, for confederation.
