A Communication.

EDITOR HERALD:-About two weeks
ago l saw communication from the
Ladies Of the G. A. r., where they
told about having the best memorial
service that was ever given in Lancas-
ter over mock grave in their hall in
the evening, which was quite amusing
to the old soldiers, who know, as an or
ganiZation, they never hung a wreath
or laid flower on soldiers grave in
or around Lancaster. Indeed, thou
art a jewel. There are about forty
eight graves in and around Lancaster
of our departed heroes whose steps
along the corridor of time have left a
trailing light of glory behind them,
and we as old soldiers and ladies of
the Woman's Relief Corps will strew
their graves with flowers and loving
tributes as long as life lasts in lovin g
remembrance of the past. A VET.

were afraid to fire on them, as q single
shot is seldom fatal to a grizzly and to
be caught by one of the animals when
wounded is almost sure death. In this
case the odds were against us, there being
three bears and only two huntsmen. One
OF the brutes, not waiting for any overt
act on our part, charged upon me and
knocked me down. He then took q seat
on my stomach, his face toward mine.
The weight of the monster was squeezing
the life out of me, and, becoming desper-
ate, l made struggle for liberty. BY way
of admOnishing me that he was monarch
of all he surveyed, the bear with his huge
paw struck me terrific blow on the cheek.

Thousands Of brain-workers and women
whose health gives away under the strain
of overwork, anxiety. the cares and wor-
ries of business or the home, suffer from
severe stomach trouble. indigestion, head

Many of these poor sufferers try various
treatments for years without experiencing
ANYTHING more than temporary relief.
The reason is plain.
Briefiy-tbey direct treatment to the

These troubles can arise from but one
cause, VIA arrangement of the nerves.
No matter what the cause. the first bad
effects of disoTdred nerves are usually felt
in the stomach, the source OF supply OF
nourishment for the Whole body. Stomach
trouble comes from loss of vitality, and re.
suits i'll inactivity of the nerves. of the
stomach and of its tributary glands. From
this condition arise the the attacks of ind!.
sestion. headache, sleeplessness. nervous
ness, irritability and incapacity for the
daily work.
Since these disagreeagle symptoms arise
from n arrangement of the nerves affect
ing more particularly the stomach. the
natural remedy is one that gently stiTnu-
lates the action of the stomach nerves
while it strengthens and invigorates the
whole nervous system.
Such remedy is DIR. Miles Restor-
alive Nervine. which, as its name implies,
nourishos, builds, replenishes and restores
the nerves to condition of health and
strength. 1t is a true nerve tonic Great
