crowd were some of our best known
citizens--half a dozen doctors obtained
bottle. One of them volunteered
the remark that he had heard of the
curative qualities of the remedy and
would give it thorough trial. One
of our leading lawyers took dose
before he left the office and said that
he expected now to live as long as

to have an abiding faith in this rem

cured.
One old gentleman said that he be-

of rheumatism that afflicted him for
more than Is years.
Another gentleman said if this Rem

had cured him of bad case of kidney

The revolution and the pre-revolu-
tionary controversaries brought on all
manner of devices for flags and ban
ners, the larger portion bearing mot
toes more or less defiant Of the British.
Soon after the fight at Lexington the
Connecticut volunteers put on their
flags the arms of the colony. A month
after Bunker Hill, General Putnam
displayed a flag with a red ground,
having on one side the Connecticut
arms and on the other the motto of
Massachusetts,, can Appeal to Heaven"
The first official action with regard
to a national flag was taken June II,
III, when the continental congress
passed a resolution "that the flag of
the l3 United States be ID stripes, al
ternate red and white; that the union
be 10 stars, white in blue field, rep
resenting a new constellation"
The origin of this design has been
the subject of much controversary,
which has left the subject unsettled,
though perhaps majority of investi-
gators consider the design to have
been suggested by the coat of arms of
the Washington family, which con-
tains both the stars and the stripes.
Betsy Ross of Philadelphia is said to
have made the first flag.
Paul Jones was the first to raise the
new flag over naval vessel, and it
seems that the first use of the "Stars
and Stripes" on land was at Fort
Stanwix, where hastily improvised
flag was raised over some captured
British colors on August 6, lit.
The flag was formally used at the
battle of the Brandywine and there
after in all important engagements of
the war
