Some people in the world persist in
clinging to old methods. There are men
who still use a foTked stick in place of a
modern pillow. There are also men, who,
when they are troubled with disordered
stomach or liver resort to the old fashioned
violent remedies that rack and rend the
whole body, and while they give temporary
relief, in the long run do the entire system
a great amount of harm.
Modern science has discovered remedies
infinitely superior to these old-fashioned
drugs that do their work by promoting the
natural processes Of excTetion and secre-
ton and gently correcting all circulatory
disturbances. When a man feels generally
out of sorts, when he loses sleep at night,
when he gets up headachey and with bad
taste in his mouth in the morning when he
feels dull and lethargic all day, when his
appetite is poor and his food distresses
him, when work comes hard and recreation
is an impossibility, that man, though he
may not believe II, is pretty sick man.
He Is on the road to consumption, nervous
prostration, malaria, or some serious blood
disease. In cases Of this description man
should resort al once to Or. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II is the best medicine
for a weak stomach, impaired digestion
and disordered liver. II Is the great blood
maker and purifier, flesh builder and nerve
tonic. II cures % per cent of all cases OF
consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs
and kindred ailments. Thousands have
testified to its marvellous merits. II Is
a modern, scientific medicine that aids
without goading nature, and that has stood
the test for thirty years Medicine dealers

"reminiscences OF Gen. John A. Logan
His Life as an Open Book-A Biblical
and Classical SchOlar-His Love OF
Country-Chapter of Political History.
The face and form of another rises before
me as / write, that for many years was a
noted character and one that filled large
place in the public eye. Is there an Amer
can heart that will ever forget the service
rendered to country and State by John A.
Logan?
1t is out of respect to his memory that
we take up the pen to make record OF some
incidents occurring in his life which came
under our own eye. For years we broke
bread and lived under the same roof with
him, and it was during this time that we
came to know another side of this man OF
which the people at large know but little.
We speak advsedly when we say that
his life was an open book; he INDUCED in
no deep-sea affiliations; every act of his
life was one of honest conviction, and if
there was legislator of the people and for
the people, John a. Logan was one.
Many thought him to he the unyielding,
stern, dignified General his stalwart
FIGURE, raven black hair, and eagle eye
that could pierce one through when reused,
gave credence to this belief But to a
friend he was afiable, approachable, and
always had a pleasant word of welcome;
his face could glow with genial expression,
and the same piercing eye would grow soft
and tender as a child's.
There is, perhaps, no part of the Gen
erals character as little understood as his
attainments. Mrs. LOGAN had
sole charge of his correspondence, and

There cannot be too much patriotism

when these children {oftentimeS of race
