Robert II. Hunter is an old veteran of
Arlington, in the territory of Oklahoma,
who, alter 80 years Of helpless suffering is
now so far rejuvenated that he has taken
up quarter section of land ito grow up
with the country" as he says
In 1868 MIR Hunter was serving at the
'front.' in Co. e., lst Mo Cavalry, and while
on long forced march was 10 DAYS and
nights in the saddle during very rainy
weather. Be was, shortly after getting
into camp, from the exposure he ha1 gone
through taken with such severe crampings
and swelling of the limbs, that it was at
first surmiSed that he had been bitten by a
RATHER or copperhead. The regimenlal
surgeon was not of that opinion but dag
nosed it as case of saddle cramp and acute
rheumatism Of severe type. Here is the
old soldiers own story:
The regimental surgeon informed nv
captain that would not be able for some
time, II ever, to ride my horse, so was ap-
pointed commissary sergeant of the COM
pany, In which capacity served until Sep
TENDER, 1864, when from lack of exercise,
owing to my crippled condition. was taken
with chronic diarrhRa. NEURALGIA dys-
pepsia and curvature of the spine soon
added their presence to my weight of woe,
and at my discharge / was a pretty badly
used up man. OF course was obliged 10
undergo medical treatment, and had nu-
merous physicians who attempted to give
me relief without success, and as the years
rolled on hope grew DINNER until | saw
nothing that would assuage my suffering
but the grave.
'Thus dragged on miserable existence
until 1872, when to and to my misery
caught la grippe, and when that left me, all
my diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. i was not able to walk

look at the quarter section i had taken up.
I'm August, 1898, read in a news paper
that DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie had cured the effects of la grippe in a
great many cases, so thought it could do
me no harm to try them. and did

toms had disappeared, and my general
health became better, especially my appe-
tite and digestion. My heart, which had
been irregular, missing about every third

and kidneys began once more to do the
labors for which they were Intended. con-
