In bringing souls into the fold Of Christ.

take us in and therefore can speak well
Of the people In Louisiana.
One thing that We have TO contend
with is the extremely rainy climate.
For a long time the rivers and swamps
have been so high that II Is no easy
thing TO travel, but the Saints and
friends have helped US along by letting
Us take horses.
A young man Mr. Grandson D..

Popular Ideas Regarding Cotarrh.

II ia the common belief that what IS
popularity known as catarrh Is Simply
a chronic cold In the head. This Is true
as far as II goes, but as a matter OF
fact catarrh Is by 10 means conhheu
TO the nasal passages, but eNlelus
wherever the mucous membrane OK.
tends, which means nearly every part
Of the body.
The mucous membrane is the INSIDE
skin OF the body and Is nearly as eN-
tensive as the outside skin, and any M
nammatlon OF this membrane causing
an extra secretion OF fluid is really cat
arrh
Catarrh is therefore, an old enemy
disguised by many confusing names
for instance. Rhinltis is nasal catarrh;
laryngitls and pharyngltis throat cat
arrh; gastrltls, stomach catarrh' Gys-
tits and nephrltis, catarrh Of the plau-
der and kidneys.
Therefore, although the location OF
the trouble gives II various names III
reality the sum total Is cataTh ana
nothing else.
DO not make the mistake OF thinking
you have no catarrh because the mead
and nose appear 20 be clear II there
Is a cough, tickling IN the threat ana
hoarseness you have throat catarrh, II
there Is no appetite, but nausea, gag
ging and disgust for food especially in
the morning you have catarrh OF the
stomach.
The surest treatment for every form
Of catarrh Is an external remedy which
acts especially on the blood and mu-
cous membranes; such a remedy Is the
new preparation sold everywhere by
druggists under the name OF Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets. a medicine In pleasant
tablet form and containing all the best
and latest specifics for catarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain in
highly concentrated form. bloodroot,
red gum Of the Eucalyptus tree, and
many other equally valuable curative
elements. and no one who suffers from
any form Of catarrh and has seen the
inefficlency OF douches, sprays and pow
ders will ever go back 10 them after
once trying so pleasant preparation
az Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and one
which gives so much relief In so short
time.
All druggists sell stuarts Catarrh
Tablets at so cents for full sized pack
age and the regular, daily use Of them
will effectually cure this troublesome
and dangerous disease.

ut would have been dangerous, !"
said the sergeant, ITO have bucked
and gagged a man in our company.
In fact, only one man in the company
ever felt the rope and gag, and in his
case the punishment was ordered by
an officer outside the company. We
were on q steamboat, with one of our
men on guard duty, when a lot of
drunken soldiers from other com
panies rushed the deck guard line. In
attempting to quell the disturbance
the guard pushed one of the drunken
men overheard, and in the excitement
that followed was arrested by the
officer of the day, bucked and gagged.
and thrown into the hold. When our
boys heard of it they insisted that the
gag be removed, and that the guard
be treated decently. They went in
a body to the colonel, and the out
come was the man was released. He
was, in fact, one of the best behaved
and finest soldiers in the regiment,
and upon investigation was acquitted
of all blame. When, year later, he
fell in the front rank of forlorn
hope, the whole regiment turned out
to pay him honor, and I have always
been proud of the fact that my hand
