The unprecedented sale Of BOSchee's
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without doubt
the safest and best remedy ever discover
ed for the speedy and effectual cure o,
Coughs, Colds and the sevcrest Lung
troubles, 1t acts on entirely different
principles from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up a Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and long spell Of serious illness. A
trial will convince you Of these facts
1t is positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price II

stanton and the prummer Boy.

With all his gruffness, Stanton had a very
tender heart wounded soldier never got
rough words from him, and a soldiers widow
or a soldiers mother seldom went away with
out getting what she wanted. A story has been
told of little drummer boy who was disabled
in the army and came to Washington, having
been discharged for disability. He worked
about the town in different ways as far as his
health would permit and waited for his papers
by which he could get his pay aud transpOFta-
tion home. Day after day he called at head
quarters, but the army was on the move and
the papers did not come.
The official in charge said he could do nothing
until the papers came, and the ragged, barefoot
ed, sick drummer boy would walk slowly away
with heart like lead and with tears rolling
down his face. At last man to whom be told
his story advised him TO go and see the Seere-
tary Of War himself The boy was suffering
and desperate. He went to Mr.. Stantons house
and rang the door bell. The servant told him
he could not come in, and that he must go TO
the War Department. The boy replied that he
had been there but could get nobody TO
Stanton's carriage drove up and Stanton got
out The boy approached him, and Secretary
Stanton listened TO his sad story. He was do
ing so when Senator Sherman came up, and
was about to address Secretary Stanton, when
Stanton said: 4" Senator Sherman. have no
time 70 attend 70 you now. See this poor drum
mer boy. He has been in this condition for
weeks. BE has no money, no clothing. lie
has been discharged from the service, and he
has been waiting here for his pay and transpor-
tation to get home to his mother He says that
the officials at the War Department won't give
it to him." He then took the boy and went
with his carriage back to the War Department.
He wrote an order that the boys money should
be paid at once and that he should be sent
