History of Horace Rol
John

son County, Iowa.
(Trom the Times, West Branch, Iowa.)
Horace Robertson is q prosperous farmer
of West Branch, johnson County, Iowa
He is q veteran of the late war. having
served for three years and twenty-one days
in the Tenth Iowa Infantry.
Since the war he has further done his duty
as a good citizen by serving several terms as
township clerk, trustee and supervisor. In
all of these positions he has served with that
modesty and singleness of purpose that in.
variably brings as q reward unstinted com
mendation and appreciation.
Mr.. Robertson suffered eXcruciating pain
for years, suffering as only Il confirmed heu-
matte can suffer. At his work it was an I'M
welcome, ever present companion. while his
nights were rendered most miserable by the
racking 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 Republic,
that he had been confined to his bed for days
ut q time and that the pain in his back and
legs was almost uncomfortable and made him
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 to 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 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
Pale People put up at Schenectady, N. Y,
by the DIR. Williams Medicine Company.
Had only taken these pills q short time
when he began to 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
showed great improvement, so much so that
for a 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-
tirely free from kidney trouble, his urine
being scant and somewhat colored. He
thinks, however, that this may beattribut-
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 a further and persistent use of Pink
Pills may complete the cure of his kidneys
already SO happily improved. He is now
able to do a good days work for a man verg-
ing on sixty years, has a fair appetite and
sleeps quite well. Mr.. Robertson has now
the best health he has had foryears 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 a truthful man, the reporter
suggests that such persons write to Mr.. A.C
Hunter, post master at West Branch, Iowa
for confederation.

elements necessary to give new life anG
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists
