FREE CURE FOR TEN.
A Michigan Man Offer. to Send His Disesvs
cry Free.
Claims to he . Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion at.
tached to any thing that is offered free, but some.
times . man so overhows with generosity that
he cannot rest until his discovery is known 70
the world, in order that his fellow men may
profit by what he has discovered. Is is upon
this principal that q resident of kalamazoo,
Mich, desires TO send free to mankind q pre-
scription which will cure them of any form Of
nervous debility; relieves them of all the dolbt
and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly
liable to, and restores the organs to natural sire
and vigor. ASH costs nothing to try the exper.
ment it would seem that any man, suffering
with the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what mighs
be the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they con-
tinue to live an existence of untold misery. Al
the remedy in question was the result Of many
years research as to what combination would b
peculiarly effective in restoring to men tho
strength they need, it would seem that all mon
suffering with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such q remedy at once. A re-
quest to III. G. Odds. Boz Ills. Kalamazoo, Mich,
stating that you not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity but that you uis to make use Of
the medicine By gring it trial. will be answered
promptly and without evidence as to where
the information came from.
The prescription is sent free, and although
some may wonder how Mr. Odds can afford to give
away his discovery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds, that he may kow hop you to write hin.

thank him for his kindness through these
columns, and hope he lives to remember the
incident. I hardly think he secured his

enemy held most of that part of the battle

Our troubles had not yet ended for that
day. The enemy commenced Smelling our

among them. / got permission from my
Colonel to stay with johnson until could

us was over for the present; there were
hardly enough able-bodied men left In the
regiment to look after the wounded. AGAIN
procuring assistance, we removed johnson TO
the right behind higher hill, more pro-
tected from the artillery. The balance OIL
the wounded were also carried to this place.
Darkness soon after spread her black wings
over the mournful sight of wounded and
dying soldiers One rebel soldier, with DIS

On May 26, 1864, we charged the enemy
near mill. with loss of two men in my COM
pany. We gained possession of a ridge oppo-
site. from which could be seen the enemy's
works. Part of a battery was brought for

effect of his aim. The shot was good one.
While at this place we lost our First Ser
reant. Vim. Jackson. On the morning OF the
9th we proceeded onward in left-obllque
movement through the forest. The commands
were impaired by the Headquarters bugler
of Willieh's or Beattys Brigade. That Or
ganization drilled chiefly by bugle calls;
consequently each regimentai and company
bugler repeated the orders from Headquar-
tiers. making it perfect din of sounds.
Ii was over brush and logs until about
o'clock in the evening, when, crossing
small creek, we halted. A few scattering
shots came from the front. No doubt the
Johnnies had moved in the same direction
as they were informed by our bugles the
direction we had taken. 1 felt as if before
mapy minutes our command would ind the
enemy in force.

rear few yards to procure water. All sol

did my best to hear what passed between
them, as felt interested in what lay before
us.

shot the most of our squad. They now To-
Gated us. Some of them got over the fence
and were making their way under the brow
of the hill we occupied, so as to gain our
rear.
I notified Capt. Tiff of our danger, he be-
ing occupied in encouraging what few men
were left. He went with me to the left, and
very coolly focused pair of fieldglasses to
his ewes. with which he overlooked the
crawling rebels.
"Lower your glasses, Captain; don't you
see them, not 25 feet from you?" said.
Before he got the range with the glasses
they fired at us One Of the balls penetrated
the Captains knee. 1t made him spin
around on one leg, bat failed to down him.
The wounded man showed an unusual
amount of nerve and grit. He replaced the
glasses.
"Can help you?" asked.
"No; go tell Lieut. Whiting to take charge
of the company"

Church found the Lieutenant lying on the

made known. Our ammunition was about
