How Friends Fought.

of Kentucky village in civil war time,
when friend fought against friend, and
brother against brother.

a free choice. No feeling of personal
hatred stood between those who saw
life's duty differently

over the arm of his guest. Both were
poor men, and winter approached: the
recipient attempted to return it. No.
said the donor, mo, you take this coat.

Sore Lungs
Can be Cured Almost Instantly
With kinard'S Liniment.

If cold settles on the lungs it will
never leave of it's own accord. 1t may
shift the soreness to some other part of
the body, but it leaves a weakened
spot on the lungs that clings there
until strengthened by the proper medi
cines. Colds unquestionably, i'll almost
every case, are the creators of con-
sumption. Don't even let cold get
lodged on your lungs, you can keep
it off. Just the instant that you feel
the slightest soreness, battle your chest
in warm water; then give it a good
rubbing with Minards Liniment. The
greater the inflammation, the faster
will the medicine be absorbed through
the pores. 1t may smart some, it may
start you perspiring, but never mind
it will take that cold right out of your
system in less than an hour. After
you've rubbed it in thoroughly, just
mix little with molasses, and swallow
a teaspoonful. You can feel it all the
way down to your stomach, and when
it passes the sore sp in your throat
or lungs you'll feel ike new man.
You'll breathe easier, feel stronger,
speak clearer. and can distinguish the
soreness leaving.
On Jan. 6, 1902. Mr.. A. R. Mills, of
New Haven, Me-, wrote as follows:
"Your Liniment received. l have been
