One morning late in November the blast of the
buge aroused the soldiers of the 200th Indiana
at about the time when the roOSterS would have
been getting ready to crow if there had been
any of them left in that part of Kentucky. The
regiment had made long, rapid march the
previous day, and q still longer one was before
1t. The Commissary Department was badly
| out of joint, and the haversacks of the men
were ia state of almost total collapse The
country had been pretty thoroughly stripped
of everything that could appease the hunger
OF man or beast. 1t was only by the most
energetic and persistent foraging that the SOL
dlers were able to exc out their scanty store.
Corporal Kiegg's spirits were at low ebb.
This was unusual for him. He was very rarely
in that state, except when famine stared him in
the face-or rather in the stomach. AT such
times the sympathetic chord which seemed to
connect that organ with his mind was kept
busy conveying messages of distress, the effect
of which upon his feelings was naturally de-
pressing. lmpelled by the gnawings of hunger
the night before he had eaten his last hardtack,
going upon the principle that the morrow might
take care of itself

"Get the besti" is good motto to follow in buying
Spring medicine, well in everything else. By the
universal satisfaction it has given and by the many
markabe it has accomplished, Hoods Sarsapara
has proven itself unequalled for building up and
strengthening the system and for all diseases arising from

any unheard of untred article which you told is
"just good" but be to get only Hoods Sarsapa-
