Fro II the Chatham tCanada) Banner.
Everyone living in and around the
village OF Wheatley knows Mr..
Peter Sippe, who has been resi-
dent of the place for upwards OF
twenty years, and who during the
whole of that period up to last year
was a constant sufferer from acute
rheumatism, complicated by other
troubles, until he was worn almost
to shadow. At the age OF twenty
he joined the 2lst New York Volun-
teers, and after being member OF
that organization for three years,
he joined the New York Cavalry and
served through the war OF the re-
belion. He took part in the his
toric battles OF Bulls Run, Freder-
icksburg, Culpeper, etc, and at one
time rode eighty miles at stretch,
carrying disp atches through the
enemy's lines. % another occasion
he was on horseback for four days
and FIVE nights, aud it is little won
der that such hard,hips left him, as
they did thousands Of others, with
a wrecked constitution. While in
the army as a result OF poor food
aud often worse water, he was at.
acked with diarrh ca, which as
sumed a chronic form. This of
course greatly weakened him, aud
he fell an easy prey to the pains and
terrors of rheumatism. To cores
pondent of The Banner he said: II
..H tn h.a hat IN,
this world as | had tried scores OF
medicines which brought me no re-
lief at all. Sometimes for weeks at
a time | could not lie down or sleep,
aud | could eat but little. | was
not only troubled with rheumatism,
but at times was subject to fainting
spells and at other times everything
appeared to turn black before my
o, as. / would often feel sick at my
stomach, at which times food would
prove loathsome to me-. My kidneys
also troubled me greatly and my
nervous system seemed completely
shattered. Tongue can scarcely tell
how much l endured during those
long aud weary years. About year
ago was advised to try DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and it was a grand
day for me when / began their use.
After / had used a few boxes my
pains had decreased and l was con-
siderably better. Later, through a
continued use of the pills, could
eat, sleep and feel as able to work
as had done twenty years ago. |
now feel we'll and strong and If any
OF my old comrades see this aud are
afflicted l would urge them to try
DR. Williams Pink Pills"
An analysis shows that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills contain in a con-
densed form all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood, and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing speci.
fic for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sclatica, neuralgia, rheumat.
ism, nervous headache, the after
effects OF la grippe, palpitation of
the heart, nervous prost ration, all
diseases depending upon vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scro
fula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles pecu-
liar to females, such as suppressions,
Irregularities, and all forms of weak
ness. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork, or excuses Of
whatever nature. Sold by all dealers
in medicine.
