A WAR incident,
How BeSeged Army Obtained Drinking Water After Rain
Soldiers Went Down on their Hands and Knees and
Drank Water in the Horses ioOf Tracks.
From the Press, Nilroy, Ind.

One of the first to offer their services for the
country in the Civil War, was A. K. Seton, OF
MilrOy. Rush County, Ind. He made good
record, and when the great difficulty was set
tied, was honorably discharged.
To-day Mr.. Seton is 56 years old, promi-
nent farmer, the head of large family, and
notwithstanding the i'll effects of army life,
is enjoying excellent health.
There was period in Mr.. Sefton's life dur
ing the war which makes an interesting story.
He was a member of the 3Sth Ills. Infantry
which was often to the front in close bust
ness. The life of every soldier is hard
one, and Mr.. Sefton's case was no exception.
"We were in Tennessee, penned Ill on all
sides. Our 'rations were very scarce" said
he, "and we had begun to go on quarter al
lowance.'
1t was in the middle of August, the wells
of the community were nearly all dry, and
we were some distance from any stream, con-
sequently we had great difficulty in getting
water for cooking and drinking purposes.
One night there came hard rain, and the
next day we were started on the march. The
sun shone hot, and our plodding along was
very tiresOme and oppressive. Every one OF
us had only little water to drink, and as
the rain was not enough to replenish the
wells or streams, our canteens went empty.
We were hurried on, and the only way to
quench our thirst was to go down on our
tracks made by the horses. OF course the
water was muddy and very filthy, but it was
a case of this or die from thirst.
"Some of us were taken sick from the
effects of this, and | was one of them. / was
laid up for several weeks in field hospital

about four years ago | became much
worse Our family doctor seemed puzzled
over my case, and it began to look as if there
was no hope for my recovery, and that the
inevitable end was near.
Last November was advised to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The
physician said that although they were all
excellent medicine, they would do no good
in a case such as mine. But tried them, and
now am glad did for began getting better
almost at once. Eight boxes, taken according
to directions, cured me. l used the last of the
pills about year ago, and have not been
troubled with my ailments since"
The power of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People in the vast number of diseases
due to impure or poisoned blood, has been
demonstrated in thousands of instances as re.
markable as the one related above.
These pills build up the blood by supply
ing it's life-giving elements, which nourish
the various organs, stimulating them to &C.
tivity in the performance of their functions
and thus drive disease from the system No
one who is suffering can rightfully neglect this
way to restore health. Physicians and drug
gists consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People potent remedy, and large quantities
of the mills are used.

EVERY WALK In LIFE.
Mankato Citizens Appreciate the Lit

Every class of people have sick kid
neys. The busy business man, rushing
through life on the run, fails to realize
the constant strain he daily puts on the
kidneys, The mechanic forced to as
sumo unnatural positions, STOPPING and
straining at his work, does not know
that his backache is simply kidney
ache. The clerk on his feet continually
leaning over a counter or desk; rail
readers conductors, engineers, street
car men subject to constant Earring, all
have backache from the kidneys Wo-
men at their household duties, boys and
girls at play overtax the kidneys, and
give them more work than they can dog
IT'S fortunate thing the kidneys warn
you when in trouble, that they cry out
for help. Don't neglect the warning

Oh! The Pain
OF Rheumatism!
It's TOrtures Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. S. S. is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
S. S. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. 1t
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.
