RENEWING THEIR YOUTH.

▲ Strange Story from a Nebraska Tillage. From the WorU-BertUd, OmoAa. Beh. A World-Herald reporter was attracted ky the evidence of renewed activity of some of the old inhabitants of Bruce, near Omaha, and inquired the cause. Mr. Andrew Finkenkeler, a member of Co. B of the Firat lowa Volunteers during the war, made the following explanation so far as he himself is concerned. “In July, 1866, while my company was on the march to Austin, Texas, I was attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind in one leg. I was also sunstruck and remained unconscions for several hours. Ever since I have been unable to stand the heat,of the sun, and have been compelled to give up work. There was in my head a bearing down feeling which increased until it seemed my head would burst, My ears rang, and palpatation of heart set in, so that the slightest .noise would set my heart thumping. Several times it has rendered me unconscious seven to ten hours at a time. In addition to this the rheumatism extended. up my side until it drew my head down on my shoulder. I lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work. “For twenty-eight years I have consult, gd .physicians and taken their prescriptions without deriving any material benefit My ailments increased in intensity until I Vas'assured that there was no hope for me. During last year I went into the butcher business, but the dampness from the ice used increased my rheumatic pains so that I was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my bed for nearly six months. “In November last I read in the WorldHerald a case of a man who had been entirely cured from the same ailments by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. On Nov. 28, I purchased a box. In a week I was astonished to know that I felt better than I had for six months past, and before I had used half a box. The ringing in my ears began to lessen, and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time I took my first pill I was able to sit up in bed. On Jan. Ist, I was able to go out and walk a little. The palpitation of my heart entirely ceased. On Feb. 9, I was so thoroughly cured that I accepted a position as night-watchman in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, remaining out of doors from 6 p. m. until 6 a. m. I have gained in weight from 144 lbs, which I weighed in November last, to 172 lbs. For nerve building and for enriching the blood Pink Pills are unexcelled. They may be had of druggists or direct from the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.
