MIR. Elbridge Waterman is well-known
railroad engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio
southwestern Railway, who has been a
great sufferer from nervous debility of an
aggravated kind for the past ten years. The
strain was telling on his nerves terribly,
and steady work was impossible. The fol
lowing is his story:
"For the past ten years" he said, "I have
suffered as few men have, with nervous
ness, heart trouble and rheumatism. have
lived on the footboard most of my life, and
the constant joltiug and nervous strain
slowly but surely undermined my constitu-
tion. 1 was forced to quit work, and there
seemed to be little prospect of my going
back to the throttle again. tried every
remedy that 1 could find, but none of
them did me any good. l consulted doctors
all over the country, butto no avail would
be better for time, and then would come
on an attack more severe than ever, and |
would have to quit work. The money
have spent during that time for doctors and
medicine, none of which did me any per-
manent good, would place me now out of
want, and in comparative utauence, if l had
it. An idea of how much time and money
lost may be gained when | tell you that dur
ing last summer alone, was totally unable
| TO work four months on u stretch, and was
much of the time confined to the house, and
TO the bed, sometimes unable to move. IL
makes me cold all over when look back on
| what have gone through.
"But rheumatism was not the only thing
| suffered from. My heart troubled me very
much, and | was totally unable TO sleep for
days and weeks at u time. When l would
drop off into doze, my heart would beat
| itself almost out of my bosom, and would
| wake me up as though had been struck by
u trip hammer. l had twitchings in my
arms aud legs, and was altogether in suchia
condition that my wife and friends began to
| ln,sy If
5istance.
II was almost of the same opinion my
| self, when L happened to see in the paper
| last June u letter from an old soldier in the
west who had been cured of rheumatism by
| DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The teStim onial
| was written in such way that knew it
| was not u faxed up one, and determined to
| give this medicine fair trial. L was un-
able to work at the time, and almost in de-
| Spair So, l went to the drug store and
| bought six boxes of them, in order to give
| them o thorough test, and in few days /
| began to feel the Improvement they were
working in my system. In two weeks
was able to go to work, and l have worked
ever since without lay off, which is some
thing have not done for years.
| 1.-THE first improvement l noticed was in
my heart, which grew more and more nor
NAL in its action, until at last it did not
trouble me at all, and L was able to sleep as
l had not been able for ten years. The heart
trouble has never returned, and my sleep
for the past two months has been healthy
and deep. Last night L went to bed early
and slept soundly until eight o'clock this
morning. And now, when wake up, l feel
invigorated and ready for the days work,
just as l used to feel when was Il boy.
"The nervous twitchings were also cured
| in short time, and have never returned or
bothered me in the least since. This has
also been great relief TO me, as the twitch-
lngs were very annoying, as well as an indi-
cation to everyone Of the terrible condition
in which my state of health was. And the
greatest wonder of all is tnatthe rheumatism
seems to be cured also, and does not bother
me in the least any more, except when ex-
pose myself unduly, and even then only for
a short time. lconsider myself well man
now, and hope to continue So L am still
talking Pink Pills, for want the cure to be
q complete and permanent one Ionly wish
l had known them years ago, for l would
have saved myself large sums of money as
well as suffering for which no money could
repay
