SERVED In TWO WARS
GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE
BULLET FAILED.
Veteran without Feeling OF
Deepest Sympathy

Df'if'1e 'thhpataJ
From the Herald, Woodstock, Val
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both Of these wars without a serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously ON him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
firmities Of veteran without feeling
of the deepest sympathyg His towns
people saw him confined TO his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too, and
as he attempted it, he often stumbled
and fell. They saw him treated by the
best talent 70 be had-but still he
suffered ON for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however,
he was struck by the account Of cure
which had been effected by the use Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. He i'm
mediatly ordered box and commenced
taking them. He says he was greatly
relieved within three days time. The
blood found its way to his fingers and
his hands which had been palsied
assumed a natural color, and he was
soon enabled TO use his knife and fork
nc the table. He has recovered his
strength to such an extent that he Il
able to chop wood, shock corn and dc
his regular work about his home. He
now says he can not only walk &c
Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able TO lift up &
fifty-two pound weight with one hand
and saws he does not know what DR.

great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, cour

SPRING makes NE TIRED

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the miider
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and that tired feeling" is the
complaint OF all.
The reason for this condition Is found
in the deficient quality Of the blood.
During the winter, owing to various
causes. the blood becomes loaded with
impurities and loses its richness and
vitality. Consequently, as soon as the
bracing effect Of cold air is Lost. there 10

In his youth our hero Jonathan
Niles, was a musician Of the Revolu
tionary army. In ITS, while the
treason of Arnold was being con
summated, and the American army
was encamped at Tappan, on the
Hudson, General La Fayette had
command of the advance consisting
of six battallons Of picket infantry,
his particular duty being to guard
the water front; and in order that
any attempt on the part Of the enemy
at surprise might be guarded against,
La Fayette issued positive orders
that there should be no noise of any
kind by the troops between the hours
of tattoo and reVellle.
Our Jonathan was one Of La Fay
ette's musicians, and his instrument,
the fife. He was a son of Connecticut,
and he had a manned and disabled
brother who was cunning artifcer,
and who, among other quaint things,
had made the fife on which Jonathan
played. 1t was so constructed that
it could be blown to the shrill and ear
piercing notes that belong with the
drum. or it could be so softly and
sweetly breathed upon as to give
forth notes like the gentle dulcimer.
One evening Jonathan wandered
down by the waters edge, and. seated
upon a rock, gazed off upon the dark,
ly- flowing, stsr-gemmed food, His
thoughts were of home, and of the
loved ones; and anon came memories
of the old songs that had been wonI
to gladden. the freslde. UnconsciouslJ
he drew his Hute from his bosom, anc
placed it to bis lips. In his mind, a
