The Patient Widely known Man.
From, The Ne,cs. T. dianapolis. Ind.
Sol. Yewcll, of 96 Hill avenue, Indian
apolis, Ind, who is well known to the
dramatic profession, when boy of II
years old enlisted in Company II, 18th In
diana Volunteer Infantry, the first three
years regiment that marched to the front
from the Hoosier State. In the fall of
1867 he was honorably discharged, be-
cause of disabilities contracted in the SER
vice. After a short time spent at home
he went to New York and entered col
lege. He was a bright young fellow, a
diligent student and great future seem
edopening before him. But he again heard
the bugles and the fires of patriotism were
again aglow in his bosom. He enlisted
as recruit in Company nj of the I'd sHar-
ris Light Cavalry, <Kilpatrick's famous
old regiment, and was soon again at the
front. There was great demand for
cavalry 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 dash
ing and dauntless Custer, and was select
ed as one Of his famous body guard. in
which he served until the close of the war.
After the war Mr.. Jewell began to be
known as skilled newspaper writer, and
correspondent. and he was later in de-
agent, profession 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 those who knew the
genial and versatile SOL Yewell had any
idea that he was q great sufferer from
diseases and disabilities, contracted dur
ing the war. Such, however, was the
fact. He suffered from rheumatism,
hemorrhoids and chronic tonsilitis for
years. GAS if these were not enough"
said Mr.. Jewell, the other day, at the
Marion Home, relating his experience to
the reporter, II was doomed to fall vic
tim to the grip in 1890. This last fell
bles and added, seemingly, half dozen
new ones. It was in November of that
year that was compelled to give up work
and came to the Marion Home. Creeping
paralysis or locomotor ataxia developed,
and in 1892 l went to the hospital, where
I remained for several months. My con-
dition became so alarming that the sur
geons here, who are my very good friends,
wore compelled to admit they could do
nothing for me. My locomotor ataxia
was attended with vertigo and | was liza
BILE to fall at any unexpected moment.
The surgeons having nothing else in mind
recommended that last resource-a change
Boston, Mass. / had secured employment
at the Columbia Theater there as press
writer, as | was determined to do some
thing. [ remained there two seasons.
"AIy vertigo and paralysis continued to
distress me greatly. | consulted num-
Der of eminent physicians in Boston and
became patient at the Harvard College
clinic on Bennett street. The surgeons
there appeared to desire to make much of
me as patient and | was willing. One
day doctor there gave me box of pills.
Il had scarcely used the box before,
much to my surprise. found that the 10
comctor ataXia was leaving me. On the
second box the vertigo entirely disappear
ed, my paralysis or locOmOtor ataxia was
gone and / began to have my old-time
confidence in myself Yes, all these all
ments under which l had suffered were
leaving me- I used about four boxes of
these pills before knew what they were.
At the close of the dramatic season of
1928 | took vacation. going up into I'll the
mont 1 asked my doctor and insisted
upon knowing the name of the wonderful
pills that he had been giving me. He
laughed and said. I have been giving you
a remedy called DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People,
Il said, I think they are the best medi-
cine I ever took, and | can directly trace
to them all the benefit that l have re-
ceiyed' l should have said that along
with my other Affections l was at times
seriously troubled with a valvular affec-
ton of the heart, but the pills have prov
en- to be a splendid remedy for that also.
I certainly believe they strengthen and
correct the action of that organ
Mr.. Yewell has a clear, fresh complex
ion, the hue of health, weighs 220 pounds,
has frst-class appetite, and, to use his
own words: Il sleep like top" He is
So yea,rs old, and while Williams Pink
Pills have not made young man out Of
him, they have certainly restored him so
that he bids fair to see many years of
usefulness.
II will leave here soon," were his part
ing words to the reporter. 'as have an
offer to go to Boston and take up my old
theatrical work"
Mr.. Yewells many friends in the news
paper and theatrical professions will be
glad to know that he is again in good
health and restored to the pursuit which
he so long adorned.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shatter-
ed nerves. They are for sale by all drug
gists, or may be had by mail from Dr.
