Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent 1t is essentially
Natures agent. 1t may be either sun
light or electric light, but it has a de-
cided effect in helping nature to Danish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tihc men have proved that oxygen cleo
trifies the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life. A
plant cannot be successfully grown in the
dark. A ma is seldom healthy and strong
who lives in the dark or in sunless rooms.
After all, Natures ways are found 10 be
the best. Natures remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean a medicine made of roots and herbs.
They are assimilated in the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are, therefore,
the most potent means which can be EN-
ployed for the regaining of lost health.
DR.. K. V. Pierce, consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, n. Y, in mary years of extern
sive practice, found that he could pin his
faith 10 an Alternative extract of certain
plants and roots for the cure of all blood
diseases. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Colder Medical Discovery. Containing no
alcohol nor narcotics, entirely vegetable,
this Discovery " makes rich red blood and
lisa powerful tissue-builder, giving the tired
business man or wonan renewed strength
and health. Rapidly growing schoolgirls
and boys often show impoverished blood
by the ~pitnples or boils which appear on
face or neck. To eradicate the poisons
from the blood, and feed the heart, lungs
and stomach on pure blood, nothing is
so good as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Don't allow the dealer to insult your in
telligence by offering his own blood rem
edy to you instead of this we'll known
preparation of DR.. Pierce's. Ten chances
to one he will substitute a cheap compound
having a large percentage of alcohol in it.
DR.. Pierce's Pellets are the best for the
bowels. Use them with the Discovery"

Wartime Christmas DAYS.

how and where we spent the day in those
dark and gloomy times of 1S61-65.

the boys went to town, where they found

permitted to attack it. My second war

of three-Quarter-inch poplar boards. That

job for them to cut hole through those
boards and silently crawl out, one at a

AN INSECURE PRISON.

some comrade. The place is six miles

Hank, who, ut the time OF the events,
Was boy OF IA or 10.
One evening squad OF rebel soldiers
came from the direction of Union, and had
under guard Is Union soldiers, taking them
South. My cousin thinks the prisoners
were captured at the Dry Creek fight,
near Lynchburg.
The officer in charge asked my uncle If
he would keep them over night and feed
them, and was told that they could stay.
The officer wanted safe place to keep
his prisoners, and was shown one OF the
upper rooms, but thought it would not do,
as it opened on second story porch at
the back Of the house. He concluded
