a Good Recommendation.

II have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlsin's Stomach and Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to those
who have once used them" says Mr..
J. 81. Webea, a prominent druggist
of Cascade, Iowa. What better re-
commentator could any medicine
have than for people to call for it
when again in need of such sremedy?
Try them when you feel dull after
eating, when you have bad taste in
your mouth, feel bilious, have no
appetite or when troubled with con-
s:ipation, and you are certain to be
delighted with the prompt relief
which they afford. For sale by j.

ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It saved my little boys life and I
feel that I cannot praise it enough.
I bought a bottle of it from A. E.
Steele, of Goodwin, S. D., and when
I got home with it the poor baby
could hardly breathe I gave the
medicine as directed every ten min
utes until he 'threw up" and then 1
thought sure he was going to choke
to death. We had to pull the
phlegm out of his mouth in great
long strings. I am positive that if l

Battles Of the Civil War.

Genenral F. Y. Green says IN
Scribner's Magazine:
The campaigns and battles OF the
civil war were on sscale of SURPRISING
magnitude. There were more than
8 score of single battles, sometimes
extending over several days, in each
Of which the losses in killed and
wounded on the Federal side were
greater thsn the aggregation OF all
losses in all other wars combined.
How paltry seem the 5000 killed and
wounded in the war of 1872, or the
war in Mexico, or the war with
Spain, compared with the 14,0OO at
Shiloh, $4,000 at the Chickahominy,
10000 at Antietam, the same at
fredericksburg, $1,000 at Chancel-
lorsville, $4,000 at Gettysburg, 16,-
600 at Cnickamauga, $1,000 in the
Wilderness and $4,000 st Soottsyl-
vania. The grand aggregate OF de-
struction fairly rstaggers the imagina-
tion accustomed as we have been for
more than generation to the figures:
$4,000 killed by bullets, lS6, 1000 kill
ed BY disease, $4,000 dead from other
causes-a grand total Of 100000,
about one in nine Of every man who
wore the uniform.
In no other war in all time has
such respect been paid to the dead
Immediately after its close the Sec
retary of War was directed by Con-
eress s'to secure suitable burial places,
and to have these grounds enclosed,
so that the resting places Of the hon
ored dead may be kept sacred for
ever" In seventy nine separate and
distinct national cemeteries the bod
les of nearly 100000 soldiers who
died during the civil war are inferred,
and the decoration of their graves
with flowers on fixed day has be-
come national custom. Some OF
the cemeteries contain each silent
army of over 10000 soldiers, in ser
ried ranks marked by the white head
stones, on nearly half Of which is
inscribed unknown" The world
may be searched in vain for anything
similar or kindred; there is no other
such impressive sight.
On fame eternal campaign ground.
Their silent tents are spread;
And glory guards. with solemn road,
TT bivouac of the dead.
