The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age.
KEWMEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY,
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoxBuRY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles Of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is a!wa:s experienced from
the first bottle, and a perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the sane with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamiSh feelings at first.
No change Of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.

Vielet's letter was keeping his heart
warm this day at Tamai. He was
feeling unaccountable happy and
light hearted, as after a sharp tussle
with half dozen Arabs, three of whom
| he killed with his revolver, he was al
lowed breathing time for a few
| minutes, during which he cut the
| word "Suakin'' on the Little black
pipe that had been his inseparable
companion during the whole of the
campaign.
Suddenly just as he had lighted and
returned smoking it, he heard fran
tic shout, and glancing up he saw
young Kellar dash forward and fire at
some one behind him (Jack). Stimuli
taneously he felt a sharp agonizing
pain in his back and knew that he
was struck by a poisoned spear. An
Arab, who had been concealed in a
bush, had crept out and stabbed him
before young Kellar could intervene.
He had staggered and then fallen
on his face, and they thought he was
dead for II minute. But when they
lifted him and were carrying him
away faint flicker of the old fun
came into his fading blue eyes as he
said:
Il wanted Violet and the ". G. SO
much. S'pose twas Satan"--
Before he could finish the sentence
the fading light went out, and the
blue eyes closed forever + : in this 7 world.
Who shall tell her? The whole regi-

Col. Branksholme's mouth twitch- |
ed, and his steady, fearless gray eyes
filled with tears as he spoke. But |
this was more for the fine young SOL |
dierly life which had been cut short in
its glory than for the desolate girl who |
was left to mourn it. However, he |
fulfilled his task so sympathetically |
that Violet soon found her greatest |
comfort in talking of her lost lover to
his gallant chief.

"We'll give them a grand reception.
Have the band to meet them, take the
horses out and drag the carriage along
the para1e," some of the more enthu
siastic of the juniors declared. But
when young Kellar said Better
not. The bride is my sister," the regi
ment felt that the less demonstration
they made on the occasion of her join
ing it the better Jacks memory was
too green with them still for them to
give her anything but a silent and
rather sad welcome.
