counts for his eXcesses in this re-

speaker was the following: 1T seems
that after one of Grants great victo-
ries he was seen riding down the line
with half-smoked, unit cigar in his
mouth. In reporting the affair the
war correspondents one and all men
toned the incident of the half-burnt
cigar.
1T was not long after that every
express from the North brought the
general packages of cigars. until there
were 10000 cigars received at camp
Up to that time Grant had been in
, the habit of smoking but two or three
cigars day. But with this unlimited
supply and feeling that as they were

he started to smoke them wholesale
and thus acquired a tremendous appe

Jacobs Oil for almost unbearable
pains in the back, which had COM

relieved and entirely cured her.

pains that he was unable to preach.

cured me of great and long-continued
pain in my foot"
Messrs. C. L. Brundage and Son,
Druggists, Muskegon, Mich, write:-
