Well may Mr.. Porter be called hero
well may every inhabitant of the civil
lied world read of his experience and
we'll may all mankind rejoice at it's ter.
mination. The horri BILE sufferings which
he experienced from disease were even
worse than those of the war and prison.
But he is well man at last and cannot
say enough in praise of this remarkable
remedy. His restoration to health after
so many years of suffering is indeed
most wonderful. If you are suffering
from any form of nervous or chronic
disease, indigestion weakness, kidney
Or liver complaint, take DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It will
cure you. DIR. Greene, the noted specialist

The Horrors Of Libby Prison Re-
yived.
AN EVENT WHICH WILL SURPRISE
EVEN OLD SOLDIERS.
The Most Wonderful Experience of the
Army Ever Recorded.

We never tire of hearing of the thrill
ing adventures of the war and the won
derful escapes from Libby Prison. The
recent removal of this famous Jail to
Chicago renders any facts about it at this
time particularly interesting.
A most fascinating story has just come
to us of man who passed five months
Of agony in this prison. The experiences
OF this person during and since the war
are the most remarkable that have ever
been brought to public notice. This man
is none other than the we1l-known Mr..
L.W. Porter, of West Berlin Vt. He
writes the following interesting letter.
Since my return from the war my
health has been growing poorer from ex-
posture and hard service and the horrors
of a five months imprisonment in Libby
prison. l came home complete wreck
and was sick for whole year, during
which time did no'work at all, being
confined to my bed for about half the
time
AFTER I got up was so weak that
] could not walk out short distance
and then was obliged to stop and rest
A bout two years ago I found myself
in a very bad condition with nervous
prostration, the results Of my long time
poor health.
