Battles and Diseases ... I V » This is the story of one who participated in many naval and infantry engagements during the war. l'rom wounds received then he suffered for years, but to-day, rejoices in renewed strength. There is a distinctly peculiar halo that invests the being oi an old soldier in the eyes of the present generation. The sight of him arouses a feeling oi admiration for his brave deeds and heroic achievements. Among those who bravely fought was Dr. L. J. Clark, who, when but a beardless boy, heard the tocsin of war sounded. It fired his patriotic spirit to a fervency that found relaxation only in his realization of fighting in the battles. To the call oi F. vmden t Lincoln for troop* in the latter part of '61, young Clark promptly responded. There was need of men in the navy, and he joined that service in the mortar fleet U Admiral Porter, which soon after began operations on the Mississippi River. At the terrific bombardment of the Vicksburg forts, the hero of this story fell on the deck of the Juliette with a shattered arm from a charge of schrapnel. He lay in the hospital for months, and when he had recovered sufficiently to be moved, was sent to his home at Warren, O. Though partly incapacitated for active service, his patriotic zeal got the better of him, and when the call for more troops came, young Clark enlisted in a company formea by Cact. Joel 1. Asper, at Warren. -It became Co. H.of the 7th Ohio Volun teers and was sent to the Army of the Poto mac under General Grant then campaigning in Virginia against General Robert E. Lee. In a skirmish near Richmond, he was wounded again and was sent to the hos pital. He remained there for some time, but finally recovered, and went home. Shortly after, he began the study oi veter inary surgery, and, when completed, went to Chicago, where he has resided for thirty yean, and is now one of the leading sur geons of that profession in the city. His old wour.ds began to trouble him several years ago. He grew weak, ema ciated and thoroughly debilitated. Hit friends began to despair of his life. He was but a shadow of his former self, weighing only 90 pounds, a loss of nearly 50 pounds. He had the best medical atten tion, but it did not benefit him. “ Finally a friend gave me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” said Dr. Clark. M After taking the pills I was so much benefited that I purchased a half dozen boxes and took them. “ They were of more benefit than the ablest physicians' treatment. By their aid alone, I soon regained my strength. “I weigh 160 pounds now, and except for injuries that can never be remedied, I am as well as ever. "I consider Dr. Wiliams’ Pink Pills for Pale People the best remedy 1 know of to buildup a run-down system.” To-day Dr. Clark is a picture of healh. He is 59 years old, an active member of Hatch Post, G. A. R., and resides at 4935 Ashland Ave., Chicago. Many veterans have found Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People of inestim able value in counteracting the unhealthful effects of army life. All druggists sell these pills and highly recommend them. Miss Mercy Flesher has been quite ill this week. Miss Ettie Manning will return home from California this month. J. E.
