My DEAR SIR: have just received yours of the

to my mind an incident which was one Of the mem
ories of the past, and which had almost faded
away. The circumstance of the capture by me of
the rebel prisoners you mention at Gettysburg,
happened in this way. There were quite a num-
Der of them who found il safer to drop behind
stumps Of trees stones ETC. instead of retiring with
ing to draw the artillery fire of the enemy by or
dering out detachment to take them prisoners,
rode out myself and demanded the surrender Of
the men at the point of a Colts pistol The laugh
able part of the whole incident was that my am
munition gave ou. the day before and the pistol
was unloaded am always glad to hear from the
old soldiers My photographs out, and you

To the Credit of Women.

For o wonder, it is now the fashion
for women to be as healthy as she can.
Fresh air is admitted to be good thing
for the complexion. No one disputes
that girl who is an invalid can walk
five miles a day without dying of IA
tigue, and an hours canter on q good
horse is recommended as more help
full pastime than lying abed or reading
Fren h novels. The new style in
women has not arrived bit too soon.
American women were getting to be O
worthless lot, sprightly enough in intel.
lect-perhaps too sprightly- but pain
fully deficient in bodily development
and health. But they were never en-.
tlrely to blame. Degenerate man
seemed to like them that way-possibly
because he was in the same hox him
self. 10 the credit of woman be it So d,
that she would rather be round-limbed,
strong of chest, fair of cheek and bright
of eye: and it is notable fact that as
soon as the rising male generation took
to athletics and to bracing up general
ly, the girls promptly followed the good

Something AbOut Cntnrrh.

A great many people are afflicted with Ca
tarrh who do not know what ais them; and %
great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured.
Thckening of the membrane which lines the
nasal passages, thus making breathing diff
cult; discharge from the nostrils more or
less copiols watery or thick, according to the
stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the
head; a constant inclination to spit; and in
advanced cases, dropping of intensely dis
gushing matter into the throat, are a few of the
prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, intlamed eyes, neuralgia palms, sore
throat and a loss of sense of smell, are very
often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Piso's Remc-
dy for Catarrh, Relief is had Immediately
after beginning its use, but it is important that
it be continued without intermission until the
catarrhal virus IL expelled from the system
and healthy socretions replace tho diseased
action of the mucous membrane. Manifcstly
1t is unreasonable to exp .ct cure in q short
time of a disease that has been progressing for
months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Pso's Remedy for Catarrh. 1t is
so concentrated that a very small dose is
directed. The quantity in one package is slf-
fcent for long tr %atment, consequently the
expense is a mere triflc and there is no exLu,e
for neglect nor reas n for it but forgetfulness Sc.
a cold in the head is relieved by an applica-
cation of P.sO's Remedy for Catarrh The
comfort to be got from it in this way is worth
many times the cost.
The following letters are specimens of those
received every day, teStifying to the worth of
Piso's Remedy for Catarrh:
