Mr.. III. III. Black, the well-known village
blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co.,
n. Y. says: "Our little son, five years
old, has always been subject to Group, and
so bad have the attacks been that we have
feared many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many medi
eines, but Cham berlain's Cough Remedy
Is now our sole reliance. 1t seems to dis
solve the tough mucous, and by giving fre
quent does when the croupy symptoms
appear, we have found that the dreaded
Group Is cured before 1t gets settled"
There is no danger in giving this remedy,
for 1t contains no opium or other injurious
drug. and may be given as confidently to

of literature with which every young

signed il for use as a textbook during cite

historic method of study, and has given in
each chapter a brief survey OF those
changes and events in social development
which have produced great effects upon
literature. The work has been brought

IN THE WAKE OF RECON
STRUCTION STORY.
The scene OF this story is laid in the
Great Central Basin of Middle Tennessee;
the time Immediately follows the surren-
der of General Lee at Appomattox. The
picture of the Confederate soldier re-
turning to his devastated field, and bro
ken home-circle; the courage and energy
with which he undertook to bring back
to life the almost extinct forces Of COM
MERGE and society; the eagerness with
which he worked to re-eStabliSh his home
and produce the barest s~ustenance for his
family; the support and encouragement of
the soldiers of the Federal army; the
friendly spirit of Grant and Thomas, is
brought out with clearnesS and strength.
Then follows the iron rule of the Car
pet-BaggcrS those creatures OF Pol1tlcal
Necessity, and the persistent inter- med
ding of the agents of the Frcedmen's
Bureau and Provost-Marshals. These
two classes of political appointecs, wholly
dependent on the abuse of power for con-
t%inuancc in favor and usefulness, are
shown in an entirely new character. The
lights and shadows. of this troublOuS pc
riOd arc depicted in a strong manner Civ
ing to the story unusual political mot
partisan) interest. that is entirely devoid
of passion or prejudice. Lincoln and
Grant and Thomas, as we'll as tho Off
GERS and soldiers of the regular Federal
army, are given full credit for their
fairness and good purposes.
The one thing that surprises the read
cr-mOst is, that the author, Verne S.
Pease, a Northern man by birth and edu-
cation, has mastered the mysterious con
ditiOn of master and man The Old re-
lations of master and slave never have
been more thoroughly cOmpaSScd in lit
erature than "In the Wake of War"
Through all the story runs a beautiful
picture of home life, and a love tale Of
good strength.
The organization of secret societies,
commonly known as Ku-Klux, is de-
Scribed in detail; and their methods of
operation are for the first time given
to the world. And more, the author
aims to show the necessity of such meth
DDS of defense against the rapacity and
Vaccinations of the Carpet-Baggers.
Altogether it is a book rich in historic
interest. strong in sentiment, great in
fairness and fearlessness, and of excel
lent literary merit. Price 1925. Geo. NJ.
