SOMETHING NEW.
How Some People Follow Every
New Fad.
But tho Majority Prefer That Expert
mepts Should BE Tried Upon
Somebody Else.

Some persons are always so anxious
for something new that it is astonish-
ing they still continue to eat plain
bread and butter. They have always
thriyed well on beef, eggs, and pota-
toes; but somebody writes an article
for scientific Journal, and attempts
to show that these foods are neither
as cheap nor as nutritious as some
other kind of food. Therefore, some
persons drop this standard diet and
take up whatever some young scientist
directs. We cannot understand this.
When anything has Been thoroughly
tried and tested and found in every way
satisfactory, why do some people per-
sist in running after some new-fangled
notion? Take cod-liver oil for in
stance. 1t has been used for two
hundred years with most marvellous
success, and in large variety OF
complaints. Its success has been no
greater in the past than it is to-day.
More slSillful methods of preparing it;
and emulsifying it (for it is generally
acknowledged that it should always be
given in the form of an emuls:on),
gives assurance that it's future use is
bound to be even far greater than
ever.
And yet some people talk about o
substitute for cod-liver oil'l Sub
Stitute? Why, it is almost laugha-
BILE. 1t certainly would be so, were
the question not such II serious one.
There can be no substitute for cod
liver oil, for there is nothing at all like
it known to medical science. When
Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
the Hypophosphites has been used fer
over twenty years, and when thou
sands have testified TO it's curative
properties, is IL not strange that any
one would think of trying an expert
fnent with some new preparation of
cod-liver oil? When you know you are
safe in taking Scott's Emulsion, is it
not too risky business to try something
hew2 Do you think Scotts Emulsion
could have stood these twenty years,
and have n larger sale to-day than ever
before, unless it had true, genuine merit.
Where do you suppose these substi-
tutes, which do not contain particle
of oil, VIII be twenty years from now2
And where will oil the fancy prepara-
tions, as the various wines of cod-liver
oil, be at that time? 1t is perfectly
safe to predict that before they are
half as old as Scott's Emulsion is, they
will be forgotten. Do not allow your
selves to be experimental upon; be
satisfied with the best; and take adj
vantage of twenty years of ever in
ereasing prosperity.
Scott's Emulsion contains more pure
Norwegian Cod-iver Oil than any other
emulsion in the world, that will stand
the test of time as being perfect in
separable emulsion. Ask your doctor.

from scrap book belonging to Mrs Jennie

Nix. EDIToE i lave seen several ac-
counts of this battle and but for the per-
sstent silence Which has been observed
with reference to the part the 18th took
in this affair, | should not attempt To
nor have Il single acquaintance in the
/ regiment, but Witnessed the entire con-
test and am prepared to DO all parties
justice. With few exceptions our men
! fight well everywhere and therefore it is
too late in the day to.cha-gc any particular
regiment with not doing its duty All did
it certainly i'll this instance so fur rs they
were brought into the action. 1t so hap
pened however that the 10Th WAS placed
upon the right and the Goth upon the left,
and there was not Il man, | presume, not
excepting Gen. Jenkins himself, but that
supposed our forces would he fl,nkcd upo

the country indicated his position in the
field, riding to and fro on the extreme left
and far III advance of his principal battery,
seemed to anticipate the blow from this
direction, nor was he otherwise advised
until Il courier dashed in and informed him
that the enemy was missing lis forces on
our right. He hurried forward, but be-
| fore he could reach the scene OF action. Il
powerful attack WAS made upon the 10TH
1t was not only confronting far superior
force, hut Il heavy column had swung
around upon its extreme right and wei G
pouring i'll Il deadly eniilading fire. To
prevent this dangerous movement, a gun
was ordered to the extreme right but
before it could be placed in position the
gunner was shot down. Meanwhile the
18th continued to hold its position and re-
sisted the terrible shock The whole force
of the enemy for one hour mt least WAS
hurled against it, rode up to an officer
and asked him how it WAS possible that
men couid withstand such Il Calling fire.
About this time Il captain, whosc name |
have forgotten, mounted II stump in front
of his men with his sword unsheathcd,
waved it over his head, and told the 10Th
to stand firm. | never felt so proud of
our brave men rs | did Mt that moment
The heroism of the houf WAS sublime.
The deafening roar of the musketry an
nounced the desperate character of the
struggle. The order to charge WAS given
and never did men do their duty more
fearlessly and promptly. But the tide
against them was too overwhelming, and
they were forced to fall back Here it
was that the 60th was brought fully into
the action, and in few minutes thereafter
the Seth but by this time the whole for, e
of the enemy was rushing on with an i'm
petuosity that our men could not with
