From Farmer e paifBmdR, North liatima. Hash.
In 1888 | entered the regular L. s.
Army and was assigned to Co. "E, "
Sixth Infantry, then stationed at Fort
Douglas, Utah. My boyhood days
had been spent on farm in Kentucky,
but had not been accustomed 10
manual labor for several years previous
to entering upon active military duties.
The constant and excessive daily drills,
sleeping in tents and general exposure
of severe winter. brought on pecu-
liar nervous trouble, which soon inca
pacitated me for all garrison work.
The post surgeon ordered me to the
hospital and diagnosed my case as
muscular rheumatism. My lower
limbs seemed to be dying-losing all
sense of outward feeling. The most
excruciating pains made me almost
wild with misery and | could not stand
alone. My appetite was ravenous, di-
gestion perfect, lungs strong and gen.
eral health good except for this die
tressing disability.
After several days treatment with no
change. the surgeon concluded | had
heart failure. He prescribed tineture
of digitalis, and gave me several
ounces of this without any effect, ex-
cept that | kept getting worse. In the
fall OF 1884, | was discharged ON sur
geon's certificate of disability, and be-
gan the difficult task of existing and
trying to regain my health in a strange
land, surrounded by unsympathetic
people.
My condition continued to grow more
alarming. l was compelled to use a
heavy staff to prevent falling. All
attempts at manual and mental labor
were made under exasperating difficult
ties. | seemed about one-half dead.
My weight was less than 40 pounds,
though was over six feet in height.
| tried electricity with no avail. Sew
eral local physicians gave me treat
ment which was not effective. Many
we'll advertised remedies for nervous
debility were taken with no satisfac-
tory results.
l read all the medical authorities
obtainable, and finally found my
symptoms under the head of Locomotor
Ataxia. The author said there was no
cure for the disease, and | believed
him. He recommended a mixture of
iodide of potassium and sarsaparilla,
as possible aid to existence. | took
several bottles of this formula and
double the strength. This failing, /
made up my mind TO die as soon as
possible. There was no comfort, pleas
ure or happiness in life which knew
nothing but pain.
One day l read the experience of
man who had been afflicted with Loco
motor Ataxia, and cured by the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. | bought one box and tried
the remedy, following the directions
very closely. This had little effect,
and | procured half dozen boxes,
and took them before | was convinced
cure was possible. began with one
pill after each meal, in few days |
took two, and finally used one box
week. My pains gradually disap-
peared, color came to my flesh, could
walk, run and Jump, and actually dis
pensed with cane.
Words cannot portray my feelings.
Today | weigh 200 pounds, am per-
fectly healthy and feel twenty years
younger than l did ten years ago.
Journalists and all brain workers are
liable to Affections such as | suffered.
To all such l would advise the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie in connection with cold water bath
ing, morning and evening | will cheer
fully answer any and all questions
asked by those afflicted.
