When, in 1861, the fate Of our Union hung
trembling in the balance, and President
Lincoln issued his famous cali for volun-
teers TO 90 10 the front and fight for its pres
ervatiOn, an immediate response swept over
the North like a tidal wave. and regiment
after regiment of brave boys in blue quickly
sprsng up from every quarter. Unmindful
Of the privations of a soldiers life, and the
horrors Of war, they shOulsered their
for their country.
Among the first 10 answer the call was z.
G. Matthews, who enlisted as a member Of
Company d, 103d Ohio Infantry, and who
fought bravely until the close of the great
struggle. Mr.. Matthews now lives with his
wife and family of six children and grand
children on his farm near Akron, TuscOls
County, Michigan. While in the ranks he
contracted infiammatOry rheumatism and
this developed into a trouble that remained
with him for over thirty years. he finally
became cured of il and TO a representative
of the C0urieT-Heraid he spoke of his case
as follows:
During the late war / was a member of
Company ID, l03d Ohio Infantry, and per-
formed all the duties incident 20 e soldiers
life from 1862 TO 1865. While al the front
owing TO the privations Of our soldier life, ]
contracted -lfiammatOry rheumatism, and
this finally developed into a permanent form
OF rheumatism, that has always troubled me
since that time. When / was mustered out
in 1865 | went back to Ohio TO the place
where | enlisted and was laid up there in
bed for - weeks. I then got out for short
time and was again laid up for a long spell.
Since then have been victim of these at
taeks and they have laid me up for much Of
the. time.
MY case was also complicated by severe
kidney troubles and other diseases that haf-
| fed the best medical skill. / have tried
many physicians and also proprietary arti-
cles of all kinds that were said TO be good for
such troubles as mine. In my search for
health / spent hundreds Of dollars. but IL
seemed TO be all in vain, and nothing seemed
TO reach my trouble and give me relief.
About year ago friend advised me TO try
| DIR. Williams Pink Pills and although I
had no faith in them, | bought box and be-
gan TO take them. After had begun on the
third box great change in my condition be-
gan 10 appear, and my trouble for over thirty
I years staining began 20 be cured. took
four boxes more and then felt so well that
discontinued their use.

have no fear Of the old trouble coming back
as long as ! can get a box of Pink Pills My
case was a particularly deep seated one, Of
long standing, and 50 ! want % let others
