The Louisville (ky.) C0urier~J0uTnul publishes
| the following war "reminiscences: Police Officer
Thomas Flanagan, 1926 Bank street, is man
OF great courage and determination. He served
with marked credit throughout the civil war,
and Is now prominent member of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He was the hero of a
thrilling adventure at Rensaca, Ga, while serv
Ing under Sherman All the ammunition of
this entire army was in charge of his detach-
ment, as also about 200 wounded. The am
munition was stacked in piles, and the
| wounded were in tents near at hand. Suddenly
fearful storm came up, and the lightning
struck so near the ammunition as TO set fire TO
the farpaulins covering it. In an instant 1000
people were fleeing in all directions. Flanagan
stood his ground. He seized the tarpaulins,
all abfaze, and threw them into the creek near
by. The rope handles of the ammunition
boxes were next found on fire. Flanagan
leaped into the creek, bucket in hand. Some of
the boxes began to flame up Still he perse-
vered. He threw them also into the creek,
until at last, single-handed, he succeeded in
preventing an explosion and the fearful destruc-
ton Of the lives of. the wounded. "There was
enough ammunition there, had it exploded"
he states, ITO have shaken the state" To
question by reporter whether he was not
| rewarded, Mr.. Flanagan said: 1.-The Quarter
never got pension, and never asked for one
though my wife applied for one against my
wish" And as to his injuries during the war,
he said II was severely wounded at Pittsburgh
Landing, where received bullet in my leg,
and another leg was crushed at Chickamauga
by my horse falling on me, injuring my arm
Also sometimes have thought my wounds
and injuries would drive me crazy. seemed
to have spasm of the bone in my crushed leg.
hi9t arx-r a-
lief. 1t must in the end have driven me wild.
But recently, upon the recommendation of a
large number of acquaintance and friends,
was persuaded to use st. Jacobs Oil, the great
pa1n-cure. 1t gave me relief in two days, and
after one weeks use was entirely cured" Mr..
Flanagan spoke enthusiastically of his marvel
Gus recovery, and when asked who the parties
were that induced him to try the article he
named numerous persons, and the reporter set
out 10 look few OF them up. The first person
encountered was Mr.. Guy West, $40 Shelby
| street, an attache of the kentucky Machinery
Company, who said: "My wife lay fiat on her
back for nine months, suffering with inflamma-
tory rheumatism in her sides and face The
first application of ST. Jacobs Oil gave her right
smart relief. She did not use two bottles before
| she could walk about the room. In week she
astonished the household by getting breakfast
1t Is the best medicine that ever saw
| officer j. j. Troutman, 733 West Walnut
street, says "Nly brother Will was sorely affic-
| ted with rheumatism for ten months: he couldn't
| sleep, and felt that death would be relief The
! doctors had monkeyed with him for long
while, but all for no good. He tried ST. Jacobs
| Oil, and before the second bottle had been used
was up and able to get around. He has since
removed to Wyoming Territory, and has never
| been troubled with it again. 1 regard his cure
as little less than miraculous. St Jacobs Oils
efficacy cannot be too highly praised"
Other weil-known people gave testimony
equally as enthusiastic in favor Of this popular
household article.
| FOUR NOTED DIVINES
Rev. II. II. Washburn, rector of st. Barnabas
Church, Brooklyn, N. Y; Rev. Dr. Leftwich,
Nashville, Tenn; Rev. Samuel H. Cox, of
Washington, d. c., and Rev. G. Watts Shoaff
of Calvary NJ. E. Church South. Baltimore, are
four well-known clergymen who have recently
testified Ito the merits of a new remedial dis
coyery. 1t was administered to one of Mr.
Washburn's children, and his wife says she
considers it the best thing of the kind ever
known. The effect of four doses was remarka-
bly, satisfactory, and its further use effected
complete cure.
Rev. Mr.. Cox, speaking as practical and an
alytical chemist of high repute, says that it is
entirely free from opiates or poisons which are
to be found in nine out of ten cough mixtures,
and besides this, is original combination
which will prove itself boon to all who Justly
dread the evil effects of opiates and poison. He
bases his opinion on careful analyses and prac-
tlcal tests. The remedy referred to is the
newly-dscovered Red Star Cough Cure
Rev. Mr.. Shoaf says it gave him almost imme-
date relief from severe cold, which had set
tied on his throat and lungs, and that no de-
pressing effects were felt from its use.
Rev. DR.. Leftwich, who is one of the most
distinguished and widely known clergymen of
the NJ. K. Church South, says that from his
knowledge of the dangers consequent upon the
use OF ordinary cough remedies con-
tanning narcotics, he was induced. after
hearing of the claims made for Red
Star Cough Cure, to give it a personal trial.
The result was most satisfactory. 1t not only
promptly removes coughs but also promotes
natural rest, and its tonical effects are such as
to build up the system and make one feel con-
fdent that he has at last found something
pure, reliable and effiacious.
