A NAVAL HERO’S STORY.

JYom the Timee-Herald, Chicago, Rl. Late in 1861, when President Lincoln issued a call for volunteers, L. J. Clark, of Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among the first to respond. It was at the terrific bombardment of the Vicksburg forts that the hero of this story fell with a shattered arm from a charge of shrapnel. After painful months in the hospital, he recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops fired his patriotic seal and Clark soon enlisted in Company H of the 7th Ohio Volunteers. He was in many engagements. Being wounded in a skirmish near Richmond, he was sent to the hospital and thence home.

Soon afterward he began the ’ study and I- —* then the I I practice of • v eterinnry i u r g ery. \ Seeki n g a % wider field \ than the ►. \ Ohio vil- - bv la g e as - S forded, he went to C h 1 cago,

where he now has n wide practice, is a member of Hatch Post, G. A. R. and livee at 4935 Ashland avenue. Several years ago Dr. Clark’s old wounds began to trouble him. He grew weak and emaciated, and his friends despaired of his life. He finally recovered sufficiently to be out, but was a mere shadow, weighing only 90 Bounds. The best medical attendance failed to restore his lost strength and vigor. “A friend gave me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” said Dr. Clark, “and they helped me so much that I bought a half-dozen boxes and took them. I soon regained my strength, now weigh 190 pounds and, except for injuries that can never be remedied, am as well as ever. “I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People the beet remedy to build up a run-down system, and heartily recommend them to everyone in need of such aid.”
