TELLER CITIZENS This is the day upon
which the American heart swells to about
twice its natural proportions, and beats with
twenty-seven times its usual rapidity; when
a mans clothes are too small to hold him,
and he wants no drapery but the Stars and
Stripes, when he would like to be able to
fOndle with one hand the eveAgreen curls of

and laved his feet in the cooling waters of
the Gulf!

What was it that inspired Patrick Henry

RObdck's Stomach Bitters!
Looking back in my mind upon the scenes
of the Revolution, 1 see smoke curling feebly
from few miserable tents and novels in a
snow-draped valley. Men in ragged uniforms
huddle around the camp fire, haggard and
