People Pay Heavy Bills

For medical attendance and medicine. sickness Is
expensive, and those with small incomes feel this
burden keenly. The physician must sometimes
be called but he is not needed one-tenth as often
as many think. What Is required is family
medicine one that will relieve and cure those
ailments which are liable TO come at any season
and TO attack both sexes and all ages. Amid the
host OF articles that are offered to the public for
this purpose early all are useless or worse than
useless. IL is no vain boast TO say that the medi-
cine herein mentioned Is OF very different char
acter. What II has done Is known to multitudes
OF persons whom 1t has cured OF weary and pain
ful diseases. IL has saved time, money and many
dear and precious lives. Now please understand
that as the life Is in the blood so disease and death
are In the blood Get the poison ont OF the blood
and life and health at once return to every part OF
the body, DR.. Browns sarssparila does this work
quickly and surely through its direct and positive
action upon the stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver

General Gresham m Tells n story.

Zone day, said the general. in recent
interview with Eli Perkins, II met an old
soldier who had been badly wounded in
his face, and when asked him in what
battle he had been injured he said"
II got it IN the first day at Shiloh, SIR"
But how could you get hit in the face at
Shiloh?" asked "Well, sir" said he
half apologetically. latter l bad run q
mile or two l got careless and looked
back" This story reminds me Of how
one of Ellsworth's Fire Zouaves killed
his first confederate. He said that he
marched out to the battle Of Bull Run,
and when about half way there ho met 3
Jonny Reb in ambush. "What did you
do then, II asked. "Weil, sir" be
answered, Il drew out my revolver and
he drew out his bowie.knite. and then !
took the lead from the start and kept II
clear into Washington city, and
"But how did you kill the mani" Run
him TO DEATH" was the reply.

Ignorance Of r.. ar.

Recruits sometimes rush into danger
nom which veterans would shrink. When
Thomas was holding on TO his position
at Chickamauga on the afternoon Of the
second day. and resisting cb1rge after
charge OF an enemy flushed with success,
General Granger came up with division
Of troops, many Of whom had never before
been under fire, As soon as they we're de-
ployed in front Of the enemy. they set up
yell. sprapg over the earthworks, charg-
ed into bis rankes and created such con-
sternation that the confederate veterans
were paralyz,d by the very audscity Of
such conduct Granger said, as he watch
ed their movements, "Just look at them
them don't know any better; they think
that's the way IT ought TO be done I'll
bet they'll never do it again" Men, like
children are often ignorant Of danger till
they learn its terrors in the school Of eI-
perience.
