    Escaped Montauk Hospital,
             NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 1838.
Messrs. WelLs, Richardson & Co.,
  Gentlemen--If anybody in the whole
regiment of Rough Ridera had a
chance to observe the general weaken-
ed condition of the men when they
started back to the United States,
as compared with their stalwart con-
dition when they sailed from San
Antonio on June 8, I think I had.
  Oklahoma is generally regarded as
a healthy climate, and last May, when
I left there, I hardly knew what sick-
ness meant. Earlier in Life, however,
I had lived in the East, and after a
month in service knew that what I
needed, in my general run-down con-
dition, was a nerve tonic. I knew if
my nerves were fixed up there would
be no trouble about my general heath
as soon as I got away from the army.
  I also knew the position that Paine's
celery compound occupied, although
I had not had occasion to use it much
myself. I got a few bottles of it and
began to take it and give it to a few
of my acauaintances.
  It actually seemed to bulk, up my
nervous constitution almost as rapidly
as the Southern climate had torn it
down. The same thing was true of
the other men I gave it to.
  Unless I had found this tonic to re-
store my nerves I feel pure that I
would have gone to the hospital at
Montauk Point, and I might have
shared the fate of many other poor
fellows whose impoverished condition
did not yield to the doctor's treatment.
  It gives me pleasure to recommend
Payne's celery compound as the best
remedy ever sold ln America.
