An Old soldier. Recommendation.

In the late war I was a soldier in the First
Maryland Volunteers, Company G. During nv
term of service I contracted chronic diarrh9a.
Since then I have used a great amount Of med
icine, but when / found any that would give me
relief it would injnre my stomach, until Cham
berlainss Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
was brought to my notice. I used 1t and will
say it Is the only remedy that gave me perma-
nent relief and no bad results follow. I take
pleasure in recommending this preparation to
all OF my old comrades. who, while giving their
services to their country, contracted this dread
full disease as I did, from eating nnWhOlesoma

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1896-12-11

A London paper, according to the
Central Baptist, tells this touching
story of Prof. Herkomer His aged
father, who lives with him in his splen-
did home at Bushney, used to model in
clay in his early life. He has recently
taken to it again, but his fear is that
soon his hands will lose their skill. and
his work will show the marks of imper-
fection. 1t is his one sorrow. 1t night
he goes to his early rest and when he
has gone his talented son goes into the
studio, takes up his fathers feeble at
tempts, and makes the work as beauti-
full as art can make it. When the old
man comes down in the morning he
takes the work and looks at it. and
rubs his hands and says: Hal l can
do as we'll as ever L did.' May we not
believe that the hands of divine love
will thus make over our feeble work
for God till it shall bear the light of
day and be perfect to all eternity?
