chance to begin physical examina-

mental skirmish may begin.

about" was the answer. "If you are
only going to examine me physically,
going any further. I'll see about it.
They have examined me physically
three times within a year and I'm

The colonel then asked what other
things were to be done, and the board
did not appear to be certain about
1t. There was a conference, and 1t was
thought best to adjourn.
How can I tell what I may do %
answered the colonel after the court
II do not know what they are going
to try to do. They have not given me
any specifications. only bare order.
They have been examining me pretty
regularly for a year, but this may be
more exhaustive than the others. 1

numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint so that could
hardly move, while my arms were
useless at times. / was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain
ed me so terribly could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that had Inflammation Of

noise or excitement One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.

ering about five years and seemed to
be able to get no relief from my
doctors, when friend here in Port
land told me how DR.. Williams Pink
Pills had cured him of neuralgia in

drawn it to one side. | decided to
try the pills and began to see some
improvement soon after using them.
This encouraged me to keep on until
