o. YE OF LITTLE FAITH.

But when an honest man 65 years of
age and who has lived in our city for
80 years and owns his own property
speaks we must give ear to his words
and have faith in what he recommends.
For that reason we publish for the
benefit of our home people the state
ment of ii. West, 211 North street,
Saginaw, Mich. as follows: My
back was very lame, was quite nervous
at times and my general health was
seriously impaired. Some time ago
was induced to try Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids, of which l had heard great deal,
and procured the remedy. l had not
much faith in it, as 1 previously had
tried large number of kidney pills
and kidney remedies without any par
ticular benefit, but / want to say that
/ got simply wonderful relief within
two days after commencing the use of
Kid-ne-oids, and that am now entire
ly cured.
Il regard my case as a severe test of
the medicine, as so many others had
failed to help me. My advice to kid
ney sufferers is to give Morrow's Kid
ne-oids a thorough trial and find relief
as did
Mr.. West had no faith at first, but
the assurance of his friends induced
him TO try once again. The result is
given above. Let Mr.. West be your
friend, and if you suffer with back
ache, sleeplessness, nervousness, ETC.,
take his advice and use Morrow's Kid
ne-oids and get cured. Mr.. West is a
grateful man and will be glad to write
you how much he was Benefited by
the use of Morrow's Kid-ne-Oids, if
you will enclose stamp for reply. Do
not confound Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
with any kind of kidney pills; they
are not pills at all but yellow tablets
which are put upin wooden boxes and
sell at 80 cents. Morrow's Liver-LaX
are very small, red pellets, aud cure
constipation; they sell at so cents Il
box. Both of these remedies are for
sale by all first-class druggists. or will
be mailed by the manufacturers on
receipt of price.

fcs-Letter from a Woman.


fce-Letter from a Woman.
Major Gallagher said there was
shortage OF lighters. but he was not
able to say why this was true. Colonel
DENLY pressed for information as to the
shortage of coffee and sugar, and Major
Gallagher stated that there were prob
ably two days when the men were with
oet these articles. A storm was the i'm
mediate cause of this deficiency, but if
there had been a sufficiency of lighters
this deficiency would not have occurred.
The major said there was not to his
knowledge a shortage in any other arti-
Gle of food during the campaign. DENLY
told him there was complaint of de-
ficiency covering a months time but
Major Gala CHER said he knew nothing
of it.
Suppose" asked General McCook.
this shortage of rations had lasted for
seven days instead of two, what would
have been the RESULT"
We would prebably have had to face
back" replied Major Gallagher. Men
cannot fight on sheit rations." Major
Gala CHER said that of the five civilian
assistants he had had two were inef-
ficient and Indifferent to their duties
They were Captain Lord. of New York,

of them" This, she says. she did not
say, but she asked il in passing through
the wards the president did not notice
the number OF empty cots. He replied
he had noticed them, and she then re-
quested him to ask why the men were
without care in the detention and
in some of the regimentaI hospitals.
The letter continues: Il viii also ask
you to so back Of the conditions at the
time General Wheeler arrived. and in
vestigate why no preparation was made
TO receive and care for our sick and suf-
fering soldiers. I never saw more de-
voted or self-sacrifcine work under the
most trying conditions or with greater
patience and perseverance than was al
ways exhibited by the executive officers
of Camp Wikoff. particularly Major
Heizeman. Major Browne and Major
Thomasson. The sanitary condition at
the general hospital was appalling until
the general police work was taken up
by Lieutenant Durfee. Of the Second

Washington. Oct 11.-Captain ]. II.
Culver. of troop A, United States vol
unteer cavalry (Grigsby's Rough Rid
ers), was before the war investigating
commission yesterday He had been
stationed at Camp Thomas, Chicka-
manga, from May until he was mustered
out on Sept. II. The food generally was
abundant and good At first they only
received fresh meat two or three times
week and for a week the bread was
hard. but this was soon rectified. On
one occasion the meat was tainted. but
it was condemned and exchanged. He
stated. however, that the tainted meat
was not badly spoiled, and that he
would have been gladt enough to have
had 1t in the civil war. Captain Culver
mentioned an instance when the bacon
received was wormy. and when COM
mand first arrived there was a shortage
Of tentage, but these defects had been
speedily remedied. He had but 0ne
complaint, and that was the putting of
his camp among the trees. The site was
dry. but he preferred the open.
Surgeon from Camp Thomas Talks.
Captain Culver was followed by DIR.
James H. Hysell. who was chief sur
geon of the Third division of the First
army corps, and who was located at
Camp Thomas, Chickameuga, from the
7th of June 10 the 21st of August He
had been a surgeon in the civil war,
and since then said he had been in gem
eral practice. All the early cases of
typhoid were treated in the regimental
hospitals. DIR. Hysell thought typhoid
fever had been imported into the camp
from the outside and that the increase
had been due to the failure to properly
cover the sinks and to the prevalence OF
flies. He did not think ii possible to eff
fectually isolate typhoid fever cases, as
typhoid was so difficult to detect in its
early stages. All reasonable precau-
tions had been taken in locating the
camp to prevent the development OF dis
ease.
