Wen pisoipled Man.

Army discipline is supposed to be
very strict indeed, and oders must be
obed swiftly and silently. The best
disciplined soldier ever in the Russian
army lived in 1777. He was stationed
before the door of the palace during a
heavy flood, when the empress, seeing
from her balcony that the water had
reached the sentinel, called to him to
retire. This the soldier refused to do;
and when the empress asked if he
knew who she was, the man replied
afRrmatively. Although he knew her
majesty he would not leave his post
until his corporal relieved him. The
water increased until it reached the
sentinel's knees. The empress sent
several messages to him, but he refused
to obey her. Finally she was compelled
to summon the corporal. who was found
asleep, and he was obliged to swim to
relieve the honest private, who by that
time had only his head above water,
and would composedIy have suffered
himself to be drowned rather than
disobey orders while obeying his sover-

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
alocal disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable.. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood.and mucous surfaces of the system.

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
