THE GREAT ANTAGONIST OF DISEASE.
How he carries ON the war.


The Faculty" consider it iafrd dig to adver-

profession" to tell the sick what is good for
them, through the newspapers. The regular
physician must hide his light under a buShel.
His medical knowledge must be wrapped up in
cOntlactiOns Of Latin words, and he must even

as suffer from weakness and debility, these
Pills act on the very main-springS Of life, rally
ing and restoring dropping energies, even in
cases where all other medicine has been unavail.

Major Ben Runkle, in the battle Of Shiloah, was
hit seven times. Though minus seven teeth, a
portion OF hls jaw aud tongue, his great toe, a
shaving from his heel, aud with a hole through
his cheek and a brush ON his shoulder, he is said
to be doing well. There were strong grounds
for the report that he was dead.

New Orleans Bulletin, states that the Federal
