pain for years, suffered as only a confirms
Cd rheumatic can suffer. AT his work it
was an unwelcome. ever present compan-

miserable by the racking pains of this

Gated with him in the noble order of the
Grand Army of the Republic, that he has
been confined to his bed for days Mt n time
and that the pain i'll his back and legs
was almost uncomfortable and made him at
times almost helpless. He has been treat
ed from time to time by different physi-
clans and has taken sever l kinds of pat
cnt medicines, all of which afforded him
but little if any relief. Mr.. Po ertson was
also afflicted with disease of the kidneys,
from which he could find no permanent

unable to control the movement of his
legs, they having lost their natural pow
crs. In fine, Mr.. Robertson was a 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

The kidney trouble also showed great
improvement, so much 40 that FIR a long
while he has been able to comfortably re-
tain his urine by getting up only once
during the night. He is now not entirely

however. 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.
Mr.. Robertson told the reporter that he
believes himself cured of rheumatism and
thinks it probable that a further and per-
sistent use of Pink Pills may complete the
cure of his kidneys already so happily
improved. He is now able to do a good

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 grateful
praise. and also recommends these valu-
able pills to all who are similarly afflicted.
