%. Graham 5 Lecture.l


BY invitation OF j W. Rowan Camp
Confederate Veterans, Rev. DR.. J, r..
Graham of Winchester, delivered a
lecture last Friday might in the
court house, on the Personal Char
acter of StonewaIl Jackson" The
evening was pleasant and the audi
ence good. Those who know DR.. G.
were prepared to hear something
worth listening to. The lecture was
polished like jewel, and the picture
of Gen. jackson was drawn with dis
tinctness in beautiful colors. His
personal appearance, his tenderness
of heart, his remarkable self discip-
line and his religious character we're
the prominent topics considered. If
any one present had thought of jack
son only as the stern soldier and
a thunderbolt of war, some surprise
must have been produced by DIR.
Graham's illustrations of tenderness
of the great soldiers heart. While the
lecture exalted the character of Gen.
jackson, there was no comparison
made with other leaders, either
friend or foe and nothing to offend
the taste or opinions of any one
present. The lecture was simply a
polished and noble tribute to noble
man. Those who had the privilege
of hearing il have reason for thank
ing both the camp and lecturer.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by CareIessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence of this fact is grow
ing daily. Warning says: "Disease is not a
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living-neglect, abuse, want"
DR.. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
" Man is born to health and long life; dis
ease is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost inyari-
ably true of death resulting from heart dis
ease Careless over-exertion. incorporate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and Indifference to its progress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. By the newspapers it can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds OF
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp.
toms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg-
ular pulse, fainting and emothering spells,
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, etc, begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease. fyou delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years DR.. Franklin Miles,
the eminent specialist, has made profound
study of heart disease, its causes and cure
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due TO him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
