Act of June %, 1890 grants pensions to all ex-
soldiers and sailors who served 30 days or more

Ing the war whether from disease, injuries OIL
effects OF old age, at the rate OF from SO to S12
per month, according to the degree of his disa-
bility for the performance OF labor requiring the
exertion OF physical strength; provided the dis
ability is not due to vicious habits. This pen
sion is not restricted to the veterans who have
TO make their living by hard labor, but is equal
ly due to professional men and clerks, providing
they have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise OF the physical
strength Of an able-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the general
laws and who are unable to prove up the pend
ing claim can apply for and secure this pension
and then continue the prosecution of the former
claim and secure their arrears.
II you are now drawing a small pension, say
So or 81 per month, you can take this pension
instead, and II you have an application on file
for increase or additional pension for new dis
abilities you can continue the prosecution OF
such claims while drawing the new pension, or
contracted In the service while drawing pension
under this new act
Widows, children and depenpent mothers and
fathers are entitled under this act and can sus-
pend the prosecution OF any pending claim, and
take this pension, and afterwards complete the
prior claim and get arrears.
Having been duly appointed an Agent accord
ing TO the rules and regulations OF the Depart
ment OF the Interior in the prosecution OF such
claims and having had success in u number OF
cases am always prepared to give information
and assist Claimants and Will assure them sue
II they are able to establish the facts as re-
quired by law.

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light.cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when a case of full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting Of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
