Gaíned Twenty-Seven Pounds in Four Weeks. The Story of a Soldier. From the Transcript, Peoria, 10. No man is better known and liked in that rich tier of Illinois counties, of whieh Peoria is the centre, than genial Chester S. Harrington, of Prinoeville, 111. For many years Mr. Harrington has traveled through the country on prontable journeys as an itinerant merchant, and everywhere he goes he is given a hearty welcqme by the people who depend upon his visits for the purchase of the necessaries, and gome of the luxuries, of life. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war, and from this fact is made the reruarkable experienee which he related at the Transcript office recently. His story, telling of the evils of which the Civil War was but the beginning in his own, and in thousands of other cases, was as follows: " I served three years in the 124th Illinois, enlisting at Kewanee, 111. I was in Libby Prison, and suffered, like many another Northern soldier. Until recently I was a member of the Princeyille Post.of th" G. A.R. "The strain of army life clid its work in nndermining my health, although the collapse did not come for years. For some time I suffered from general debility and nervousness, so badly that I could not sleep. For fifteen years my sleep was completely broken up. Indigestión, resulted and my misery increased. My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way also. I could scarcely remember events thfit happened but a few weeks before. "For two years I was unfitted for business. I was just able to creep around during the greater part of this time, and thcre were times when I could not get up at all. My brother is a doctor, but all his efforts to help me failed to give me any relief. I tried a number of remedies, without ivail. Finally, having read articles regnrding eures that had been effeeted by Dr.Villiims' Pink Pilis for Pale People, I deeided to try them. That was in 1896. I bought a box and took the pills according to initructions. Just four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for years. That night I went to sleep easily and elept soundly as a child, and awoke refreshed. Three or four weeks aft er beginning the treatment, when I had taken four boxes of the pills, I found I had increased in weight, from 119 pounds to 146 pounda. This greatly surprised my friends, who thought my case was a hopeless one. I began my work on the road again, and have continued it right aloug ever since in excellent health. " Let me teil you a remarkable thing that was a side issue, hut a valuable gain to me. I found that while I was taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I had been cured of the smoking habit, whieh liad been formed when I was a boy, six years old.and which had clung to me all these years. The craving for tobáceo left me, and I have never experienced it since. I have recommended the pills to niany. (Signed) Chester S. Hakringtok. Chester S.
