From the Times, Kansas City, Mo.
Robert III. Hunter is an old veteran OF
Arlington, in the territory of Oklahoma.
who, after 80 years of helpless suffering is
now so far rejuvenated that he has taken
upa quarter. section of land to grow up
N..,i t ..,c Country" as he says.
In 1868 Mr. Hunter was serving at the
front in Co. g., LIST Mo. Cavalry, and while
ON long forced march was 10 days and
nights in the saddle during very rainy
weather. Be was shortly after getting
into camp, from the exposure he had gone
through taken with such severe crampings
and swelling of the limbs, that it was at
first surmised that he had been bitten by
RATHER or a copperhead The regimental
surgeon was not OF that opinion, but dag
nosed it as case of saddle cramp and acute
rheumatism of a severe type. Here Is the
old soldiers own story:
1.-THE regimental surgeon informed my
captain that would not be able for some
time, if ever, to ride my horse, so was APP
pointed commiSSary sergeant OF the COM
pany, in which capacity served until Sep
TENDER, 1864, when from lack OF exercise,
owing to my crippled condition, was taken
with chronic diarrhGa. Neuralgia, dys-
pepsia and curvature OF the spine soon
added their presence to my weight OF woe,
and at my discharge was pretty badly
used up man OF course was obliged to
undergo medical treatment, and had nu-
merous physicians who attempted to give
me relief without success, and as the years
rolled on hope grew DINNER until saw
nothing that would assuage my suffering
but the grave
'Thus dragged on a miserable existence
until 1890 when to and to my misery
caught la grippe, and when that left me, all
nv diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. / was not able to walk
any distance, and when came to Oklahoma
in 1893, was too ill and weak and helpless to
look at the quarter section had taken up.
I'm August. 1893, | read in a newspaper
that Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple had cured the effects of la grippe in q
great many cases, so thought it could do
me no harm to try them, and did.
Before had finished the first box my
cough was cured and all pulmonary symp-
toms had disappeared, and my general
health became better, especially my appe-
lite and digestion. Ny heart, which had
been irregular, missing about every third
beat, resumed normal action, and my liver
and kidneys began once more to do the
labors for which they were intended. Leon
tinued to take the pills, and soon my right
arm, which had grown useless, and my
hand so nerveless that could not grasp
pen, became much better, and eventually
we'll can now use my right arm hand
and shoulder as well as ever. can chop
wood, and often walk 10 or 20 miles and can
plough whole day.
Life looks altogether different to mo;
thanks to Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and
with nv pension. ] hope to be able from my
labors to lay up little money. AS had
entirely given up all hope of health, it may
be imagined how happy feel and how
chanred the world looks. have offered to
pay for Pink Pills for others who cannot
afford to buy them, as debt of gratitude
that can thus partially pay; and try to
let everybody know what the remedy has
done for me.
81 am not able to express my changed
feelings, nor could if | had far higher
command of language than now have l
hone that this testimonial may be the
means of others knowing that there is re-
lief for them in Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People.
