You know what happens to sewer
when it becomes clogged, don't you?
Do you know what happens to the hu-
man system when the kidneys become
clogged? They are unable to throw out
the impurities from the blood and become
infected with poisons; they decay, fall
apart and pass out in the urine; the blood,
unfiltered, carries the poison all through
the system, and if not checked death fol-
lows. The kidneys are the Se1ers of the
human system
When your kidneys are not doing their
work, some of the symptoms which prove
it to you are pain or dull ache in the
back, excess of uric acid, gravel, rheu-
matte pains, sediment in the urine, scanty
obliged to go often during the day and to
get up many times during the night to
empty the bladder; sleeplessness, nervous
irritability, dizziness, irregular heart,
breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy COM
plexiOn, puffy or dark circles under the
eyes; sometimes the feet, limbs or body
bloat; loss of ambition, general weak
ness and debility.
When you are sick, or "feel badly"
the first thing you should do is to afford
aid to your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer' S
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-RoOt you afford natu-
raj help to Nature, for Swamp-RoOt is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to the
kidneys that is known to medical science.
Perhaps you are in doubt about your
kidneys and want to find out. Here's a
simple test: Take from your urine passed
when you arise in the morning about four
ounces; place it in a glass bottle and let

it stand for "a hours II upon examina-
ton you find any settings or sediment, il
it is milky or cloudy, or if particles float
about in it, disease has gotten a foothOld
in your kidneys and Nature is calling for
help.
If you have the slightest symptoms Of
kidney or bladder trouble, or if there is q
trace of it in your family history, you
would profit by taking Swamp-Root
every now and then as a preventive, and
thus absolutely forestall kidney and blad-
der troubles.
The famous new discovery, Swamp
Root, has been tested IL so many ways,
in hospital work, in private practice,
among the helpless too poor to purchase
relief, and has proved so successful in
every case, that special arrangement
has been made with The National Trib-
une" by which all of our readers who have
not already tried it may have sample
bottle sent absolutely free by mail; also
book telling about kidney and bladder
diseases, and containing some of the
thousands of testimonial letters from men
and women reclaimed to lives of happi-
ness and usefulness by the means of
Swamp-ROot, the great kidney remedy.
Swamp-ROot is pleasant to take and is
so remarkably successful that our readers
are advised to write for free sample
bottle, and to be sure and state that you
read this generous offer in the Washing
ton National Tribune when sending
your address to DR.. Kilmer q Co., Bing-
hampton, n. Y.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular 50-cent and 81 size
bottles at the drug stores everywhere.

HOLDING ON AT SHILOH.
Comrade Says Had 1t Not Been for Prentiss's
Men Beauregard Would Have FULFILLED His
Threat

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I saw n
communication from Samuel Gamble, Co.
A, 25th Mo-, in your issue of Oct IL. The
comrade is right. His brigade, the First,
was on our right, and commenced the bat
lie. They had no men bayoneted in their
tents, neither were they surprised, as his
tory states, on scared newspaper cOrre-
spondents' assertions.
Our brigade was the Second, composed
of the 61st ILL.,, ODD Mo-, 18th Wis, l think
the 43d ILL.,, and perhaps some other regi-
ments. The field on the left of the 25th
Mo. commenced at the right of our bri-
gade, and extended to the left of Co. Il,
61st H.; my company, the 18th Wis, be
ing to our left on a ridge. The whole bri-
gade took up their position across the
field in front of our quarters, and COM

before the Johnnies fired a gun; The
Johnnies doubled up the First Brigade

in front of our quarters, some 300 yards,
and reform, which we did, the Johnnles
occupying our old position zone hour and
10 minutes" when the rebels charged our
line and, as we were out-flanked both right

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Shortly
after noon on Sept. 20, 1863, the 39th Ind.
M'td Inf. lay across the Crawford Road
from McCOok's Corps, which was the
right of Rosecrans's line of battle. Thomas
had been so hard pressed that the Com
manding General had drawn from McCool
for his support until the right wing was
weakened and from some cause n gap left
which Longstreet was quick to discover.
AT this time we had stacked arms, sent
No. with the horses to the rear, and
were waiting developments, when Maj.
Thurston, Rosecrans's Chief of Staff,
came galloping up to Col. Harrison, with
orders to take his regiment (39th) into the
street was on charge. Immediately the
clear voice of the Colonel rang out:
'39th fail in," quickly followed by
Take arms! Forward, Double-quickp
Over the fence we went, down the hill,
across the Crawfish Road, and up to the
high ground, where our right should have
been, but no infantry was in sight. One
piece of artillery was being hauled from
the field by the gunners, having no horses.
The Widow Glenn's house was on fire
from rebel SHE'LL At our right was a
woods. i'll which-we afterwards learned
was Wilder's Brigade.
On we went, sending back defiant yells
to those of the rebels, nor did we stop
when the top of the hill was reached, but,
opening a telling fire with our Spencer
rifles, brought the rebels to halt, and
pushing forward, they wavered, then fell
back before our murderOus fire.
Our attack had been so sudden and orr
firing so continuous that Longstreet was
at a loss to understand the sudden change.
Railying, they charged again, and we were
compelled to retreat. Again we charged,
and again they fell back. Thus we charged
three times, when we were compelled to
leave the vicinity of the Widow Glenn's
house, the rebels pushing in between us
and our troops at our left. We had to-
tai loss of Al.
Now, my query is this: At the Chicka-
mauga battlefield Wilder's Brigade has
monument on the spot we fought over on
that memorable Sunday afternoon. We
belonged to the Twentieth Corps (Mc-
Cooks and were fighting on his lines.
When we went in no troops were to be
seen except the artillery men. In the is
sue of Oct. Comrade Quinn, writing of
Wilder's Brigade, says at the battle of
Chickamauga they NNilder's Brigade)
were on the line of the Fourteenth Corps.
Now, the Fourteenth Corps did not extend
to the Widow Glenn's, but the Twentieth
extended on both sides. Why should that
monument be located whess it is?-LERoZ

Death by Neglect.

DR.. D. NJ. Bye, the eminent specialist,
of Indianapolis, says thousands of persons
die from cancer every year from no cause
save neglect. If taken in time not one
case in a thousand need be fatal. The
fear of the knife, or the dread of the
burning, torturing plaster causes a few to
neglect themselves till they pass the fatal
point where a cure is impossible, but Dy
far the greater portion die because their
friends or relatives on whom they are de-
pendent, are insensible TO their sufferings
and impending danger till it is too late:

after march of about six miles we were
engaged in constructing a military road
in the direction of Richmond, La.
For some days Logan's men were en-
gagged in constructing roads through
swamps and fields, using for this purpose
fence rails and lumber from barns and
other buildings along our line of march
About noon of April % our brigade was
ordered to return to Milliken's Bend, 10
miles away. The following day we re-
mained quietly in camp, and drew four
months pay.
RUNNING THE BATTERIES.
About April % n call was made for vol
unteers to run the transports past the
Vicksburg batteries. This was a perilOus
undertaking. Among the men who of
fered their services were Lieut.. j. C..
Banks, w. Barnhart, j. Dicus and j.
Longbery, of Co. c, and ]. Snyder, of Co.
A. These men safely landed thei' charge
a few miles below the heavy guns of the
enemy, where few days later we found
them in fairly good condition, considering
the storm of iron hail through which they
had passed.
Gen. Logan fully realized how hazard
GUS was the undertaking. 1t was said
that the men who volunteered their SER
vices waited upon the General and asked I:
"Will it be required to report with equip
ments" mo, no." replied Logan. To
furnish the men is enough; we can't af-
ford to lose both"
In an old memorandum I find the fol-
lowing: about the hour of midnight the
gunbOats moved from their fastenings and
dropped silently down the river and in
their wake followed six transports. The
night was intensely dark, which greatly
favored us. Our fires were banked, and
not light was visible on any part of our
boat. Not a sound broke the stiffness of
the night, save the muffled breathings of
the engines. In a short time we discerned
in the darkness of the night a flashing of
lights on the high bluffs above Vicksburg,
