A VIGOROUS BATTLE.

From the New Era, GeeensburglruL The following is a statement of facts by a veteran of the late war. No comrade will need further proof than their friend's own words, as here given. Squire John Castor, of Newpoint, lnd., is the narrator, and an honest, respected citizen he is, too. He said: "I have been troubled with rheumatism in all my joints ever since I went to the war. It was brought on by my exposure there. It came on nie gradually, and kept getting worse until I was unable to do any work. 1 tried several physicians, but they did me

no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease .of the heart, and that there was no cure for it. Nevertheless 1 had lived arid fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, .simply because they said I must, so I hunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened on Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for rale People, I asked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the community, and they recommended it very highly. 1 procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and 1 continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished the sixth liox a few months ago. 1 am not bothered with the rheumatism novy—the medicine has cured "me. 1 can most certainly recommend Dr. Williams’ Pills. These pills are not only good for rheumatism, but are valuable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do not act on the bowels.

1 want to Swear to That.
