Rheumatism

knGundtISn1
IL is an established fact that Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
1t is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, If you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.

/ Mai. Gen. Yakovitch, OF the Russian
army, is one OF the few men now living
who saw the great Napoleon on bat
tlefield. The old General saw the
French Emperor at Borodino. At that
battle. Yakovitch, then nero boy,
served with a battery in the grand re-
doubt wbich was the center OF the
! Russian line. He gives a vivid de-
scription of the battle. When morning
broke a sea of gray mist shut out the

my were heard. the neighing OF their
horses and the rumbiing OF artillery
wheels. Then. came the thunder OF
cannon, making the very earth tremble
Three times all the Russian gunners
were killed, and three times new msn
took their places. Bullets flew thick as
hail and men dropped dead or nlangled
every moment.
At last q strange sound was heard in
the distance, like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and
louder until it filed the air like the
roar of stormy sea. All at once
great wave Of bright swords and hel
NETS and horses heads came surging up
over the breastworks. 1t was the Inn
perial Guard. Before the shock of that
mighty wave the Russian center crnm.
bled away, q shattered wreck. When
Yakovitch came to his senses and open
ed his eyes he saw around him the
corpses Of his father and comrades.
Suddenly the tramping OF hoois called
his attention to groupe OF gaily-dress 4
ed officers, and NapoIeOn's staff came
riding over the field. The young kus-
sian peered anxiously into their faces
In his graphic language he thus de-
scribes them:
There were the hard faces Of Rapp
and Darn, and broad-c hested Sebastian;
and Nansouty, with the sabre scar across
his cheek, and the low, broad forehead
and bulldog jaw of grim old Ney, the
bravest of them all. There, too, was
Murat with his white plumes and his
braided Jacket, his long, dark curls
hanging down his neck and his riding.
whip in his hand, just like g circus. rider.
And then the group parted suddenly and
there was the man himself in the midst
of them, with his face hard and immoy.
aule as marble amid all that blood and
agony, and far-away look in those cold
gray eyes Of his, as if he saw Moscow
somewhere up in the sky, but could see
nothing between.
"a glorious victory! cried Murat,
waving bis hand. What a stir there'n
be among the good folks of Paris when
the bulletin arrives!'
"We've lost half our army in doing
it, though growled Ney. Hadn't we
better fall back little and wait for the
reinforcements?'
s'rhen Napoleon turned his head
slowly, Just as statue might do, and
looking him full in the face said:
"'Thou advising retreat Michel?
That is something new indeed! MOI
no falling back now! must date my
bulletin from Moscow. As for the army,
you can't make an omelet without
breaking o few eggs.
( "Yakovitch says that when he heard
this he knew that Napoleon's day was
past, for no man save one doomed to
destruction could have spoken SO lightly
of the slaughter Of thousands Of brave
men. In three months from that day
the French Emperor was flying for his
life across the border, with the Cossacks
at his heels like hungry wolves.--
