A PIONEER PASTOR
TELLS OF A TIME THAT TRIED HIS
NERVES.
The Rev. Henry }. Huston. of the Rock
River Conference Has Carried the
Rifle as We'll as the Bible.

For twenty-five years the Rev. Hen
ry j. Huston has worked in the Rock
River conference of the Methodist
church. Now man of peace. his life
story is thrilling one, at least from
the time he entered the Union army as
a member of Company F, Fifteenth H.
linois Volunteers. Colorado in the
early seventies was not the well-gov-
erned commonwealth that it is today,
but it is his military life that this pio-
neer clergyman recalls most wildly.
He consented to tell reporter some
thing about himself recently, and in
the course of the interview said:
when l entered the army in Co. f,
Fifteenth Illinois regiment, | was in
perfect health but the exposure and
hardships entailed in the service
brought on chronic diarrhoea. This
caused great weakness but in addi-
ton to that, in 1895, had necrosis of
the lower jaw, and the suffering pro-
duced extreme nervousness.
after the necrosis had left me, my
nerves were still suffering from the
shock. had severe pains in my heart,
so acute that could not rest at night
| was also subject to fainting spells
and sometimes would remain uncon-
scious for more than an hour. My
strength and nerve power were at a
low ebb, my blood like water, my com
plexion white, and waxen looking, my
ears colorless and almost transparent
and, whenever | undertook the least
exertion became short of breath.
MY wife and her sister had both
been benefited by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and finally de-
tremined to try this medicine myself.
cannot say just how long had been
taking these pills before | discovered

long. l soon found the pain in my
heart had left me and | could sleep at
night ! have had no more fainting
spells and my color is better. Dr. Will

done wonders for me and | take pleas
ure in recommending them. They help
