From the Transcript, Peoria, Ill: No
man Is better known and liked in that
rich tier of Illinois counties, OF which
Peoria Is the centre. than genial Chester
s.. Harrington, of Princeville, III. For
many years Mr.. Harrington has travel
ed through the country on profitable
journeys MS an itinerant merchant, and
everywhere he goes he is given q hearty
welcome by the people who depend up
on his regular visits for the purchase OF
the n~ecessaries, and some of the luXur-
les, OF life.
Mr.. Harrington Is a veteran OF the
swar, and out Of this circumstance grew
the train OF facts that make up the re-
markable experience which he related
UPON the occasion of n visit to the
Transcript office recently. His story,
telling of the evils of which the Civil
Wal was but the beginning in his own,
and in thousands Of other cases, was
as follows:
II served three years in the 124th IL
llnois, enlistlng at Kewanee, III. / was
In Libby Prison, and, of course, | sun
cred, like many another Northern SOL
dler. Until recently i was a member of
the Prlncevllle Post, Of the G. A. r.
"The strain OF army life did It's work
in undermining my health, although the
collapse did not come for years. For
some time / suffered from general de-
biIlty and nervousness, so badly that /
could not sleep. / would sit up night
after night, reading, because l couldn't
get to sleep. For fifteen years my
| sleep was completely broken up. Indf-
gestlon, OF course, resulted and my
misery increased until II seemed I 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 happen
ed but n few weeks before.
81 was untitled for business, and had
to abandon the road for two years. /
was Just able to creep around during
the greater part of this time, and there
were times when l 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 n great many
things they thought would help me, and
] tried a lot of remedies. without avail.
Finally. having read n great many ar
tlcles regarding cures hat had been eff
fected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, ! decided to try them.
That was In 1896. ] bought n box and
took the pills according to instructions.
Just four days later I had the happles,
hours ! had known for years. That
night | went to sleep easily and slept
goundly rs n child, and awoitc refresh
ed. Since then / have clunH tight TO
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and | have
slept soundly and gained health ever
since. Three or four weeks after be-
ginning the treatment. when I had ia
ken four boxes OF the pills. I found I
had increased IN weight, from ll9 to l46
pounds. This greatly surprised my
friends, wo thought my case was a
hopeless one. ! began my work on the
rad aCain, and have continued 1t
right along ever since in excellent
health,
Let me tell YOU n remarkable thing
that was a side issue, but u valuable
gain to me. I found thut while ] was
taking DR.. Williams Pink pills, I had
been cured Of the smoking habit, which
had been formed when | was a boy,
six years old, and which had clunu to
me oil these years, The craving for to-
bacco left me, and I have never expert
cnce It since. | have recommended the
pills TO more thon 1850 people and | h o.
II my experience Is made public, Il will
be Of benefit to come sufferer"
