When Richmond had fallen and the great
commanders had met beneath the historic
.. . .»
apple tree at Appomattox, the 83d Penn-
Sylvania Volunteers, prematurely aged, clad
in tatters and rags, broken in body but of
dauntless spirit, swung into line for the last
“grand review” and then quietly marched
away to begiu life’s fray anew. Rebel shot
and shell, the dread miasma of the southern
swamp, sleepless nights and wearisome days
had depleted their ranks until only a hand
ful remained. Among the number Asa Rob
inson came back to the old home in Mt.
Sterling, Ills.; that he had left at the call to
arms four years previous. He went away in
the first Hush of vigorous manhood; lie came
back a ghost of the self that answered to
President Lincoln’s call for” 300,UOO more.”
With his return to the old homestead
there came to him the knowledge that war
with him was only begun; that he must
fight the battle with disease to the end of his
days; that the glare of a southern sun and
the galling tire of a southern soldiery were
as nothing compared to the onslaught of an
eneniv that fought under cover and disre
garded all the rules of civilized warfare.
Sciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon
him. incapacitating him for manual labor anil
rendering him, much of the time, physically
as helpless as an infant. The years passed
by, but his sufferings, with increasing age,
were increased rather than diminished. He
Bpent a small fortune for doctor’s medicine,
praying for even temporary relief, but it did
not come.
To-day he is an alert, active man of fifty-
five years. His rheumatic pains have de
parted, and while there are traces of his
years of suffering in his face be walks with
the soldierly bearing and springy step of a
healthy young man.
To tile Democrat-Message reporter lie talked
freely about his case. Mr. Robinson is a man
of much more than average education ami
intelligence. Where he is known in Brown
County his word is as acceptable as the bond
of the average man, and there is no question
but that in bis case an almost miraculous cure
was wrought by Dr. William»’ Pink Pills for
Pale People.

was a great sufferer from sciatic rheu
matism almost from the lime of uiy discharge
from the army. At times 1 was bent almost
double, and got around with only the greatest
difficulty. Nothing seemed to give me per
manent relief until three years ago, when my
attention was called to some of the wonderful
cures effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills tor
Pale People, and I made up my mind to try
them. I had not taken more than a half a
box when I noticed an improvement in my
condition. I took three boxes of the pills,

dition than at any time since the close of my
army service. Since then 1 have never been

In a recent letter from Washington. D
C., to an old friend, Major G. A. Studer,
for twenty years United States Consul at
Singapore, says: “While at Des Moines I
became acquainted with a liniment
known as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm,
which I found excellent against rheuma
tism as well as against soreness of the
throat and chest (giving me milch, easier
breathing). I had a touch of pneumonia
early this week, and two applications
freely applied to the throat and chest ro
lieved me of it at once. I would not be
without it for anything.” For sale by

Decided A|aln>t Redmond.
Judge Sears rendered a decision yester
day in the suit of Fleiscbner, Mayer A
Co., against F. W. Redmond, a merchant
of McMinnville, et al., in ifavor of the
plaintiffs, and set aside the conveyances
made by Redmond of his stock. The
court held that the mortgages made by
Redmond to the First National bank, of
McMinnville, and his wife, sister and
brother-in-law, were all part and parcel I
of a scheme by Redmond to prefer the
bank and his relatives, and then to make
an assignment, although he had nothing
left to assign, as the mortgages took all
of his property. The mortgages and as
signments were, therefore, all one trans
action and void.
Judge Sears said:
“A debtor cannot prefer certain parties,
and then make an assignment. The law
contemplates that all creditors shall be
treated equally. If the scheme to assign
existed at the time of the preferences,
