ihe1 Is no man in Oneida County, New
YORK, tho stands higher In the community
than Mr.. William II. Briggs, a wealthy
farmeS, and resident OF Bridgewater, and
a prominent member Of the q, A. r. His
statement will not be news to his friends as
they all know whereof he writes, but it is
commended to the consideration OF the pub
lie. Mr.. Briggs writes as follows:
ut gives me great pleasure and s~atisfac
tion to be able to give honor where honor
is due. and to that end I make This certin-
cate, hoping It may be the means Of others
being benefited as / nave been.
Il am a farmer residing near BRIDGE
water, Oneida County, New York: nv name
IS william n. Briggs, and I am Sc years old.
/ am IN old soldier, and member OF the q,
A.. r., having served as high private In Co.
A, lst New York Artillery, during the whole
four years OF the Rebellion. Though not a
p~.ensioner, and never an applicant for PEN
sion, l contracted through malarial climate
disease OF liver and stomach from
which 1 suffered continuously, In various
forms. In 1868 I had the jaundice, and II
continued Tor years, to q greater or lesser
degree. 1 never was free from dyspepsia,
and palpitation of the heart, and suffered
from nervous debility to such an extent
that l could neither rest by night nor work
by day. Night after night I walked the
floor tormented by g fears, which I
knew were purely imaginary, and yet I
could not shake them of. I came home In
June, 1865, and from then until 1894 / was
constantly attended by physicians, having
employed three at different times during
that period. These good doctors gave me
occasionally temporary relief, but the good
effects of their treatment quickly disap-
peared, and left me more respondent and
wretched han ever.
81 did not believe in giving up, and was
about to send to Utica for another physi-
clan, when Mr.. H. Seifert, the blacksmith
who attends to my horses, recommended
sured me they had done wonderful things
for him. I had read OF these pills before,
and felt somewhat inclined to try them, be-
fore Seifert spoke Of them, but his recon-
mendation settled the matter, and l became
Dr.. Williams patient. I took Pink Pills
growing better and better every day, my
liver working freely, my kidneys acting
normally. My heart no longer troubled
me, and l could digest my food. All the
water brash, heart burn, buzzing in the
head, as IL there were a great empty space

to be worth living, which 1t had not been
since my army service. I was cured in less
than one year from the time / began to
take Pink Pills In 1894, and have been in
fair health ever since. OF course, 1 have to
be careful, as / easily catch cold, and it is
apt to settle in my right side, but a dose or
two of the Pink Pills soon set me to rights
again, and I shall never be without them,
unless something very unforeseen occurs.
Il do not want 1t understood that 1 am,
casting any stress against those who are
pensioners. II 1 were needy I should GER
tainly ask for what I am entitled to, but be-
ing amply provided with this worlds goods,
l do not require 1t. My old comrades can
testify hat have helped many a one Of
them to get q pension.
1.-THE above statement Is true In every
particular, I certify on honor.
