C. ". F., Neponset. MasS.-lf your claim mas
had more than two numbers, that Is, claim
number and a certificate number. we shouid
think that the papers of your case had been

H. A. H., Redkey. Ind-It is believed that
under the general pension law, fairly inter-
preted, a soldier is entitled to pension for dis
abled condition having its origin in the service
and line of duty, even though the cause Of
such condition may have originated before
service, but did not exist in disabling degree.
Under the Administration of President Harri-
son there were several decisions of this charac-
ter, and ultimately the principle may be more
generally recognized. Years ago many cases
were rejected because it was found that at
some time long before the soldiers service ne
had slight touch of rheumatism, for instance,
aud it was held that therefore his disabled con-
dition on account OF rheumatism since ms
service must be due to the slight attack he had
long before his service.

true that many loyal Union men in the Border

bear the appearance of giving aid and comfort

tho Union lines. Under the pension act OF
June 81, $780, as originally interpreted. all SOL
diers having an honorable discharge from an
enlistment in which they served the United
States 80 days or moro in the war Of the rebel
lion, were regarded as entitled TO pension with
out regard to a record of apparent disioyaity.
1t is believed the former Interpretation OF the

He tells the reporter that many months ago
he was induced to try Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie pnt up at Schenectady, N. Y, by the Dr..
Williams Medicine Company. Had only taken
these pills short time when he began TO ex-
perience relief from both rheumatism and kid
ney trouble. After taking them regularly for
several months he found most happily that the
racking pain was gone from his back as also
tho incesssns ache from his legs. The kidney
trouble also showed great Improvement, 50
much so that for long while he has been able
to comfortably retain his urine by getting up
only once during the night. He is now not
entirely free from kidney trouble, his urine
being scant and somewhat coiored. He thinks,
hexeyer, that this may be attributable to the
fact that he has not taken any Pink Pills for
some time, and also that he has been working
very hard of late. Dir. Robertson told the re-
porter that lie believes himself cared OF rhen-
mutism, and thinks it probable that a further
and persistent use of Pink Pills may complete
the cure of his kidneys. already so happily im-
proved. He is now able to do good days work
for = man yerging On sixty years, has fair
appetite, and sleeps quite well. Mr.. Robertson
has nov the best health he has had for years,
and he says that Pink Pills have accomplished
this happy resnlt and to them he gives his

ra,uabe pills TO all who are similarly afflicted.
