WHAT STRUCK AN OLD SOLDIER

at will soon be twenty years since the war

Under the hot sun of August, 1882, the viii
lage of Dover n j., lay still as the SPHINX III
Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of that place, SLOW
ly and softly spoke of the past. "Yes. he
said, II was in the army and saw many OF the
sights of those fearful years. was hnally DIS

and spirits so enfeebled that l took cold on

'That was sad enough" said, dividing my
last two cigars.
"That,s So" responded Mr.. Sharp; but l

guns and bayonets kill; PARKER'S TONIC
saves"
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER'S GINGER TONIC, will hereafter be
called simply PARKER'S Tonic. As unprin
cipled dealers are constantly deceiving their
customers by substituting inferior articles I'M
der the name of ginger, and as ginger Is really
an unimportant ingredient, we drop the mis-
leading word.
There is no change, however, in the prep9
ration ITSELF and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name OF
PARKERS GINGER TONIC, contain the genu-
inc medicine if the fac-simile signature of
HiscoX & Co. is at the bottom of the outside
wrapper.
