fl Letter From Camp Douglas.

CAMP DOUGLAS, Sept. y, 1898.
DEAR HERALD: While waiting for
orders ''we'' viii try to write line or
two for the benefit of such of our
friends as care to hear from us in this
way. We are all anxious to get start
ed, now that it is fully decided that
we are to go south. Delay here is of
no advantage at this season of the
year. A few cold nights seem to have
had no effect on the health of the reg
iment, but probably many more
would have. Inc reports in regard to
the climate of Admission, Ala, have
entirely allayed all our dread of the
change from north to south. As long
as we were in uncertainty as TO our
fate and future movements, some
murmurs of discomfort would occa-
sionally arise, but all such are now
unknown The men are all cheerful
and contented with the prospect To
be sure, few may still be found who
grumble, as they have grum bled all
along, about this, that and the other
thing that did not suit them. And a
few people outside have been thought
less enough to listen to such growl-
ings and humor the newspapers which
advertise them. The talking has
mostly been done by few malcon-
tents, and the great majority of the
regiment and their friends have SAID
nothing simply because there wa:
nothing to say. They were and arr
satisfied; there is no doubt, whatever
on this point, and the truth of it i
beginning to come out now. Thos
who raised or helped raise a furol
over keeping the regiment in service
etc., are quieting down. Sensibl
people are accepting the situation a
the logical outcome of the war situa
ton. One-half the army is to be re
tanned in service pending develop
ments, and Wisconsin's quota of tw,
regiments of this should be take
from those in best shape for service
In this respect the 4th regimen
stands at the head. We are proud G
it and determined to be no reproach t
our state.
We have enjoyed reading your va
ued paper when you have sent it t
) us from time to time 1t will be sti
more appreciated after we move an
we will try to furnish you more fro
quent contributions for its column:
Some changes are to be made 8
once in the roster of non-commissior
t ed officers. We win speak of theI
later. Sergeants McGonigal and Stul

there are few better in the regimen
now. He is one of the occupants {

to all our friends who have bee

Trouble

When the yellow flag Of quarantine
Is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-whcn the cheek is sallow
and the clear white Of the eye IS dyed
saffron there is danger It is Hr0
trouble. The liver is one Of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge Of It's functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
Gin to generate, and other organs Of the
BODY become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.
