fit of our readers
Captain Alfred Rensom, of New York, while
racing in the lobby of the armory previous to
ona of the meetings, suddenly stopped and
scanne the face of gent man who was in
earnest conversation with one OF the Grand
Army officers. 1t seemed to him that he
hal seen that face before, partially OBJ
&c red by the smoke of LATHE, and yet
this bright and peasant countenance
could not be the same Iale, AMI death-like
vi age. which he so dim y rem mbere1. Tul
the II collection, Ike Ban lUos ghos5, would
not down at command and haunted him
the entire day. tn the day following he
again saw t e same countenance, and ven
tured to sp, ak to its owner The instant the
two veterans heard each cthers vol es, that
instant they r clgniZed d call ID each other
dynamo heir ia es and for lis had changed,
but their voices were tn zane. The man
whom Captain Rensom had rec lgnized was
Mr. w. X. Sage of st. 10 n,, Mi H., q vet
erdn of thu 90 N. Y. Light Artillery and
oh memb RS OF Burnsides fam u esp di-
ton to North Caroline. Ait r the first greet

ing terribly, not so much from old wounds as
from the malarial poisons which ruined their
constitutions"
II think so myself. When the war closed
! returned home and at times | would feel
well, but every few weeks that confounded
'all-gone feeling would com upon me again.
My nervous system, which was shattered IN
the service, failed me entirely and produced
one of TIL worst possible cases of nerr
vous dyspepsia. Most of the time L
had no app lite; then again ! woul | become
ravenously hungry, but the minute sat down
to eat loathed food. My skin was dry and
parched, my flesh loose and tabby. l could
hold nothing on my stomach for days at at
time, and what little did eat failed to as
smilate | was easily fatigued; my mind
was depressed; | vas Gro and irritable and
many a night my heart would pain me so |
could not sieep, and when did had horrid
dreams and frightful nightmares OF course,
these things cam on me on by on, ca h
worse than tn other. Ny br ath was foul,
my tongue was coated, my teeth de aged. L
had terrific heada cEes which would leave my
nervous system compile ely shattered. In
fac. my existence, since tn war, has been q
living death, from which have often prayed
for release"

" | wrote him and he treated me, but like
every other doctor, failed. They all SAIL my
nerve was gone and without that to build
upon | could not get well. When | was at
my wo S. piles of the severest nature came
upon me. Then my liver gave olt and with
out the Use OF cathartlcs | colid not move
the bowe at all. NY bic cd got like a stream
of fire and seemed literally to burn me i've. -"
