History of Horace Robertson, of John
son County, Iowa.
(From the Times West Branch, Iowa.
Horace Robertson is a prosperous farmer
of West Branch, johnson County, Iowa
He is veteran of the late war, having
served for three years and twenty lone days
in the Tenth Iowa Infantry.
Since the war he has inrthcr done his duty
as a good citizen by serving several terms as
township clerk, trustee ana supervisor. In
all of these positions he has served with that
modesty and singleness of purpose that in.
varlab bly, brings us reward nDstinted COM
mendation and appreciation.
Mr.. Robertson suffered eXcruciating pain
for years, suffering as CHly ii con hrned rheu-
matte can suffer AT his work il was an I'M
welcome, ever present companion. while his
nights were rendered most miserable by the
rackug pains of this disease. He told a
reporter who was Interested IN his case and
who is associated with him in the noble
order of the Grand Army of the Repu bic,
that he had been confined to his bed for days
at a time and that the pain in his back and
legs was almost uncomfortable and made him
at times almost helpless. He had been
treated from time to time by different physi-
clans and has taken several kinds OF patent
medicines all of which afforded him but lit
tie if any relief. Mr. Robertson was also
afflicted with disease of the kidneys from
which he could find no permanent relief.
He could not retain his urine which was
highly colored and was compelled 10 get up
several times during each night He has
also at times been wholly unable TO control
the movement OF his legs, they having lost
their natural powers. In fine Mr.. Robert
son was sorely afflicted man both from
rheumatism and disease Of the kidneys.
He tells the reporter that many months
! ago he was induced TO try Pink Pills for
Pale People put mp at Schenectady, n. Y,
| by the DR.. Williams Medicine Company.
| Had only taken these pills short time
| when he began 10 experience relief from
| both rheumatism and kidney trouble After
| taking them regularly for several months
| he found most happily that the racking pain
was gone from his back as also the incessant
| ache from his legs. The kidney trouble also
| showed great improvement, so much so that
! for long while he has been able TO COM
| fortably retain his urine by getting up only
| once during the night He is now not en-
| tirey free from kidney trouble, his urine
! being scant and somewhat coiored. He
! thinks, however, that this may be attribut-
| able to the fact that he has not taken any
| Pink Pills for some time and also that he has
| been working hard OF late. Mr.. Robertson
| told the reporter that he believes himself
] cured OF rheumatism and thinks it probable
| that further and persistent use Of Pink
| Pills may complete the cure OF his kidneys
already so happily improved He is now
ableIto do good days work for a man verg-
In. on sixty wears has fair appetite and
| sleeps quite well. Mr.. Robertson has now
| the best health he has had for years and he
says that Pink Pills have accomplished this
| happy result, and to them he gives his CRATE
| full praise and also recommends these valu-
able pills to all who are similarly afflicted.
| Should any one doubt the truthfulness of
| the above statement and Mr.. Robertson S
| character as d truthful man, the reporter
suggests that such persons write oMr. A. &.
| Hunter, post master at West Branch, Iowa,
| for confederation.
| DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
| elements necessary TO give new life and
| richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DR.. Williams
