to think that our condition
is the one most miserable, and we be-
come correspondingly respondent, but
hearing the encouraging words of those
who have been restored to health from
the same affection inspires one with
fresh hope and comfort. There are
none who can sympathize with their
fellow-sufferers more sincerely, than
those who have passed through the
same ordeal, and know the agony of
their own experience, When relieved
feeling of gratitude for their res
toration to health, creates in them n
desire to tell the story Of their cure,
Mr.. M. Hunter, the genial prOprie-
tor Of the Hunter House, Gowanda,
N. Y, and for fifteen years a CONNER
cial traveller says: "FOr more than
twenty years l suffered with very
bad case Of itching piles and eczema,
trying during that time all kind Of so
called blood medicines, Ointments and
/ SalVeS without numbers was treated
by some Of the best physicians, but in
stead Of getting better, gradually grew
worse. Nothing seemed to help me.
Finally 1 began using DR.. Miles Blood
Purifier and Nerve and Liver Pills
and after taking a few bottles a com
plete cure was effected. 1t is the only
medicine 1 have ever taken which
would stop that awful agonizing, itch
ing sensation. At the same time il
cured me of catarrh and kidney trou

nile. Post SO G. A. r. mad special
meeting and the reports OF details VINO
had decorated graves was made and 40
graves were reported decorated. The
morning was very warm and soon alter
noon the long desired rain came and
good refreshing shower was had, luckl-
iy, however, not until the Comrades and
friends had finished dinner at Columbus
Park and though it interfered with
the arrangements the rain was SO much
desired that every one felt grateful.
At 1880 the Post formed in line and
marched to the front of Owen church,
where the formal presentation OF reg
ulation parade flag was made to the
Post. Miss Grace Spears of Jasper,
representing the family and descend
ants OF Gen'l James &. Spears, after
whom the Post is named, in graceful
and we'll worded speech made the pre-
sentation of the flag which was suitably
acknowledged for the Post by COmman-
der Hill who turned the flag over to
Comrade q. w. valley, color bearer OF
the Post. Resuming thu march the
graves in the cemetery adjoining were
decorated at the close of which the
Post returned Owen Church where the
Memorial Service was successfully car
led out. The singing by the choir %as

HTNHE condition Of the blood is a
very important factor in the
~ treatment Of many diseases.
Not infrequently does impure blood
render disease chronic and difficult to
cure, which otherwise would readily
yield to ordinary treatment.

oughly scientific combination of alter
alive and restorative medicines, and
is unsurpassed in cleansing the blood,
bones and marrow Of poisonous mat
ter and disease germs. For scrofula,
eczema, boils, ulcers, catarrh, and all
skin eruptions, it may be relied upon
in giving prompt and permanent ben
eft to all who give it trial.
Regarding the efficacy of DR.. Miles
