Our readers may think it strange that we go

paration. Already have we, for a number of
weeks. urged the importance of supply Of Goes
Cough Balsam in the house, ready for immediate
use. But our excuse is the vast amount of sick
ness, sorrow and death that are the immediate
result of sudden coughs, colds and pulmonary
attacks; while thousands of our children are
dying from Group and lung complaints. Time
and experience have proved that Goes Cough
Balsam is the most speedy and reliable prepare
ton ever known to the world. Like magic it
relieves the irritation OF the throat, removes the
stoppages that prevent breathing in Group, and
heals all soreness of the throat, chest and lungs.
No man should neglect to supply his family with
a safe and reliable medicine like Goes Cough
Balsam, any more than he should neglect the
supply of their daily bread. 1t costs but forty
cents, and the bottles contain twice as much as
those Of any other remedy at the same cost,
while in merit it is superior to all others. All
drug stores keep it for sale. [nllw4sn] O..

The object of this circular is to give
notice of the annual meeting the first
Wednesday of June, at Dcs Moines, and
to secure wise and influential delegation
from every part of the State.
Questions of great and vital import
ance to the cause will come up. The de-
alterations and measures of this meeting
will rest at the foundation of the or
phans' enterprise, and its character, per
mancncy and success will depend upon
clear and comprehensive action now.
The citizens at home cannot be indif-
ferent to the views and feelings of our
soldiers on this subject, while they prove
their sincerity by liberaity unprece-
denied in the history of armies. Already
one half Of the Iowa army speaks with
near One Hundred Thousand Dollars!
When the citizens of the State shall
have responded by good and reasonable
liberality there will be established the
best endowed institution of the West.
Where organizations have been effect.

masses OF the Southern people to fight against

same punishment that he meted out to them

treated our soldiers at Belle Isle and Anderson.
