The troubles that have been years

away in day. For all the diseases

scription is the surest and speediest

it reasonable time.
It's an invigorating, restorative

All functional disturbances, painful

A man served during the first call for
soldiers for three months service in the
Union army. He was honorably dis
charged, and Immediately enlisted in
the confederate service and served to
the end of the war. He is now receiving
pension from the government under
the clause of the ninety days call. 1t
is debatable question if his service
with the confederacy disqualified him
as pensioner. The matter is being in
