Capt. David II. Todd, brother of Mrs.
Lincoln, whose death in Alabama was re.
Gently announced, was captain in the
Confederate army from Louisiana, and
his young brother Sam Todd, was pri-
vate in the Crescent Regiment of New
Orleans. Abiding to the latter, the
Richmond Enquirer says; "At Shiloh,
about 10 O'Clock on Monday morning,
when the army under Beauregard advanc-
ed toward the river and was met by
Buell's remembering column, young Todd
was killed. A bullet pierced his fore
head, and he was left on the field to be
buried by Grants army. In camp, when
he was present, the boys were always
very careful to say nothing offensive
about the Northern President In the
same regiment was nephew of Secretary
Seward, who still lives"

WHOSE SUFFERING HAVE BEEN PRO

AND WHOSE CASES REQUIRE

TO RENDER EXISTENCE DEslRABLE


If .you are suffering or have suf.
fered, from involuntary discharges, what
effect does it produce upon your
general health? Do you feel weak, de-
bilitated, easily tired Does a littls
extra exertiou produce palpation Of the
heart? Does your liver, or urinary
organs, or your kidneys, frequently
get out of order? Is your urine some
lines thick, milky or focky, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does n thick
skum RIG fto the top? Or is sediment
at the b8tom after it has stood awbilel
Do you have spells of short breathing
or dyspepsia? Are your bowels con-
stipated? P? Do you have spells Of faintiug.
or rushes of blood to the head Il
your memory impaired? Is your mind
constantly dwelling on the subjec? Do
you feel dull, listless, moping, tired Of
company, of lie Do you wish to DO
alone, to get away from everybody!
Does any little thing make you start
or jump? Is your sleep broken or
restless !? Is the lustre of your eye A.
brilliant? The bloom of your cheek as
bright? Do you eujoy yourself in &C.
ciety as we'll? Do you pursue your
business with the same energy Do you
feel as much confidence 10 yourselfi
Are your spirits dull and tagging,
given to fits of melancholy ? If so, do
not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia
Have you restless nights? Your back
weak, and have but little appetite, aud
you attribute this to dyspepsia or
liver-complaint?
Now, reader, self-abusc, vensral
disease badly cured, aud sexual excesses
are ali capable Of producing a weakness
OF the generative organs. The organs
Of the generation, when in perfect health,
make the man. Did you ever think
that those bold, defiant, energetic.
persevering businessmen are always
those whose geuerative organsare in
perfect health You never hear
such men complain Of being melcp.
choly, of nervousness, Of paipatation OF
the heart. They are never afraid they
cannot succeed in business they don,
become sad and discouraged they ara
always polite and pleasant in company
of ladies, aud look you aud them right
in the face--none Of your downcast
looks or any other meanncss about
them. I do not mean those who keep
the orgrns inflated by running to excess.
These will not only ruin their consti-
tutious, but also those they do business
with or for.
How nancy men, from badly cured dir
eases. from the effects Of self.abuse aud.
eIcesses, have brought about that state Of
weakness in those organs that ha Tsduceds
the general system SO much as to induce
almost every other disesss-idioey, par.
alysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost
every other form of disease which hu,
manity is heir to sld the real cause Of
the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and

Rev. Beorus Torkil, who arrived with
the Swedish Lutheran Colonsts, on
the banks of the Delaware in 1913. The
first German Lutheran settlers in Ameri-
ca arrived iu l7i0, four thousand of
whom took up their abode in the prov
inces Of New York aud Pennsylvania.
A colony Of Lutherans, from Sultzburg,
settled in Georgia 10 1884. A settle.
ment was also effected in Virginia iu
1875.
The first Lutheran church in America
was built by the Swedcs, on the banks
OF the Delaware about 1859. The
second on this side OF the Atlantic, and
the frst in what is now the State Of
Pennsylvania, was that at Tinicum aud
