OF Tippecanoe River, on the site OF the pres
ent village OF Battle Ground. between the
Americans under General HARRISON, and
the Indians under the Prophet, Tecumseh's

his days General Harrison, grandfather Of
President BENJAMIN Harrison, was known
by the loviag sobriqget CT ~Tippeeanoe."

with many OF his troops, was stricken
with disease contracted through Lack OF
proper food, and exposure 70 the miasma Of

given to every man at this time.
There are many men who would do
their whole duty in time of war or
great need, but when there is no
such great occasion, neglect their
plain simple duties to their God,
their families and themselves. 1t
is not for want of honor nor because
they do not love their families, but
from pure neglect; as an instance

authorities show that more deaths
result from bowel complaints than
any other one cause, except consum-
ption, yet not more than one fam

cines that will relieve or cure the
diseases. 1t is the duty of every
man to protect their families, and
they are certainly at heart guilty of

to do so. No one can plead pow
