Chester S. Harrington, of PrinceYille,
Ill For many years Mr.. Harrington
has travelled through the country on
profitable journeys as an ltlnerant
merchant, and everywhere he goes he
is given a hearty welcome by the peo-
pie who depend upon his regular visits
for the purchase of the necessaries,
and some of the luXuries of life.
Mr.. Harrington is a veteran of the
war, and out of this circumstance
grew the II ain of facts that make up
the remarkable experience which he
related upon the occasion OF visit
to the Transcript Office recently. His
story, telling of the evils of which the
Civil War was but the beginning Of
his own, and in thousands of other
cases, was as follows:

1.-THE strain of army life did its work
in undermining my health, although
the collapse did not come for years.
For some time [ suffered from general
debility and nervousness, so badly that
[ could not sleep. For fifteen years
my sleep was completely broken up.
Indigestion, of course, resulted and
my misery increased until it seemed
l had nothing to live for. My eyes
began to fail, and as my body lost
vitality my mind seemed to give way
also. / could scarcely remember events
that happened but few weeks be-
fore.
Il was untitled for business, and had
to abandon the road for two years.
I was just able to creep around during
the greater part of this time, and
there were times when [ could not get
up at all. My brother is a doctor, but
all his efforts to help me failed to give
me any relief.
My friends suggested a great many
things they thought would help me,
and l tried a lot of remedies, without
avail. Finally, having read a great
many articles regarding cures that
had been effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, 1 decided
to try them. That was in 1896. 1
bought box and took the pills accord
ing to instructions. Just four days
later [ had the happiest hours I had
known for years. That night 1 went
to sleep easily and slept soundly as a
child, and awoke refreshed. Since then
I have chung tight to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. and [ have slept soundly
and gained health ever since. Three
or four weeks after beginning the
treatmeI t, when I had taken four
boxes of the pills, [ found 1 had in
creased in weight, from 119 pounds
to 146 pounds. This greatly surprised
my friends, who thought my case was
a hopeless one 1 began my work on
the road again, and have continued
it right along ever since in excellent
health
LET me tell you a remarkable thing
that was side issue, but a valuable
gain to me. l found that while 1 was
taking DR. Williams Pink Pills, I had
been cured of the smoking habit, which
had been formed when l was a boy.
six years old, and which had chung
to me all these years. The craving
for tobacco left me, and I have never
experienced it since. / have recon-
mended the pills to more than $50 peo-
pie, and 1 hope, if my experience is
made public, it will be of benefit to
some sufferer"
