Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination

of War in 1867, his act was alleged a'
a basis OF his Impeachment, which
soon followed.

New York cavalry. When what was
left OF us got back Newberry was the
senior officer in the cavalry division.
I'm that advance, when we reached
the Petersburg &c Norfolk railroad, we
ran up against the real thing in the way
OF defensive works. Col. Newberry led
the advance and struck an angle of the
works and soon his line was in the air,
the supports not being able to get up be-
cause of the enemy's terrific fire. Three
brigade commanders fell in the attempt
to reach Ncwberry, but he did not re-
tire until the enemy began to envelope
his tanks. The line went back in some
disorder, but Newberry was cool and de-
liberate, and when we got under cover
of the creek he went back with a squad
to make lodgment in front.
"As usual, the colonel was in the lead.
and after he had posted the boys to his
satisfaction he started to rejoin us in
line. When he got down under the brow
OF the little kill and only his head and
shoulders were exposed, a southern
sharpshooter blazed away at him. The
bullet struck big oak tree, flattening
out like pancake, glanced off. and
struck Newberry on the ton of his
head in front. The bullet had a fiat sur
face, nearly as large as silver dollar,
and when 1t struck his head Newberry
went down as though he had been shot
through the heart.
almost immediately he put bis hand
to his head eybeoiicg to ahd blood. As
his senses returned he looked at his
hand and then felt his head again. Find
Ing no blood an expression of disgust
came over bis face. he believing that he
had been struck by spent ball How
