lli. For many yiars Mr.. Harrington has
traNeled through the country on prof.
apl" Journeys as an itinerant merchant
J nc everywhere he goes he is given a
nearly welcome. by the people who do
pehG upon his regular visits for the u,,r.
chase OF the neccssaries, and some of tho
iuxuries Of life. '
Mr. HARRINGTON IL a veteran of tho ,a.
and out Of this circumstance grew ~
! tram OF facts that make up the rema,k
able experience which ne related unnn
the occasion of visit to the Transcrint
once recently. His story. telling OF the
eNis of which the Civil War was hut tbo
beginning in his own. and in thoiIsanIs
of other cases, was as follows:
! served three years in the Path mi
nois. enlisting at Kewanee. H. / was in
Libby Prison. and, of course. | suffered
iike many another Northern soldier. Tn
W recently ! was a member of the
Prlnceville Post. Of the 6. A. r.
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 .tebil-
ity ana nervousness. 50 badly that I
could not sleep. would sit up night af-
ter night reading, because / couldn't get
TO sleep. For fifteen years nv slean
was completely broken up Indigestion
OF course, resulted and my misery in
creased until ii seemed I had nothing to
i've for. My eyes began to fail. and as
my body lost vitality my mind seemed
to give way also. could scarcely re-
member events that happened but a few
weeks before.
II was untitled for business. and had IN
abandon the road for two years / was
a
greater part of this time and there were
times when | could not get up at all M,.
brother is doctor. but all his efforts 10
help me failed To give me any relief.
MY friends suggested great many
things they thought would help me- and
! tried lot of remedies without avail
Finally. having read a great MANY ar
ticles regarding cures that had been Of
fected BY DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. ! decided to try them That
was III 1886. | bought a box }and took
the pills according TO INSTRUCTIONS lust
four dags later | had the happiest hours
| had known for years. That night I
went to sleep easily and slept soundly as
a child. and awoke refreshed. Since then
! have clung tight to Dr. Williams pink
Pills, and / have slept soundly and
gained health ever since. Three or four
weeks after beginning the treatment
when | had taken four boxes ,of the3plIs
! found | had increased in weight from
iiS pouiluS 10 Iib pounds. This greatly
surprised my friends, who thought nv
case was hopeless one began nv
work on the road again. and have con-
tinued it right along ever since in excel
lent health.
Let me tell you a remarkable thing
that was q side issue. but a valuable
gain to me. | found that while / was
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, l had
been cured of the smoking habit which
had been formed when / was boy. six
years old, and which had elung to me all
these years. The craving for tobacco left
me. and | have never experienced il
since. / have recommended the pills g. to
more than 150 people and | hope if my
experience is made public, it will be of
benefit to some sufferer
