THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

T1Rsr.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
| OF the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation In the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, dir
illness and sleeplessnesA
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
hcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give abb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to W0men.--W Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery;
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law Of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer Of
assistance.

Gems. Johnston and Sherman, we lay on

tions from a rebel town two miles away,
with orders to stop foraging. l was at
the time a real hungry soldier, and
persuaded a comrade to go with me on
an Independent scout, contrary to or
ders of course, but l was just deter
mined to get something to eat. We
found a big wild hog in a swamp,
weighing nearly 200 pounds, which L
killed with my gun. We each TOOK a
hunk of bristler and fastened back to
camp. The next morning l thought 1

barn near by and see IL / could find
some beans to roast for coffee, some
thing we had not INDUCED in for long
time l was overjoyed to see in the
cracks of the old barn floor some white
beans and with my camp knife L dug
out a right smart lot. / hurried back
to camp, roasted and pounded them
fine, and with my old tin pail and
sheetiron skillet soon had fresh pork

fire. NV mouth watered for a sip of

Gen. Philip St. George Cooke.

Editor National Tribune: am
somewhat interested in your sketch Of
Philip st. George Cooke which appeared
recently.
One might infer from your sketch
that Cooke served in the 1st Dragons

Europe, which is not the case 1

der command of Lieut.-Col. Philip st.
George Cooke in '56 and 81 in Kansas
and in '58 and '59 in Utah. Col. Cooke
left Camp Floyd, Utah, early in the
Spring of '59 on his famous European
trip.
1 never saw him again, but remem-
Der him very well. He was a splendid
officer to those under his command. If
any of your readers wish to know what
kind of looking man he was, fancy
this picture: About as long as a rail,
as slim as snake, as straight as q
bean pole and with a bad nasal twang
attached to his voice.
remember while in Utah our little
army was paraded out for a general
inspection. think there were IL com
panies of mounted troops in line.
When Col. Cooke gave the command,
Draw saber," not single blade was
unsheathed. This was not because we
were mutinous, but, on account of his
nasal twang, because we did not under
stand the command.
Whereupon the Colonel Strengthened
himself up and gave the command in
clear and distinct language with the
addition of. Dye understand that, -

Mirz,. One Humane Act.

Col. w. NJ. Hammond's letter to the
Daughters of the Confederacy, publish
ed in The National Tribune April 10,
1896, calls forth from VIM. H. Allen,
Co. G, 18th Iowa, Knoxville. Iowa, an
indignant protest. Comrade Allen first
made the acquaintance of Wirz on Dec.
"a, 1864, when he was turned into An
dersonville. What he endured in that
hell upon earth God only knows. Col.
Hammond says that Wirz implored him
with tears in his eyes to impress upon
the authorities at Richmond to give the
prisoners better food. Comrade Allen
thinks this was said for effect only, for
if better food had been provided the
prisoners would never have gotten 1t
any more than they did the clothing,
blankets and other articles sent by the
Sanitary Commission of the North. WirZ
appropriated these for himself, and
boasted that he was killing more Yam
KEGS than Lee at the front. Comrade
Allen thinks the proposed monument
should be located at the South Gate,
where many poor soldier was murder
ed. 1t was here WirZ had his niger
stockade, where he put many a poor
fellow and left him to die. Col. Ham
mond says WirZ was unarmed and un-
attended when he passed through the
prison. while l was there" says Com
rade Allen, ..never did Wirz come
through without two revolvers in his
belt and a bodyguard."
To use Comrade Aliens own words,
"I never knew WirZ to do but one thing
that was like human being. In Feb
ruary, 1865, one cold night, some of the
prisoners stole one strip off the dead
line. 1t was discovered in the morning,
and reported to WirZ, who at once is
sued an order that no more rations
would be given out until the culprit
was found. 1t was plain that some one
would have to acknowledge taking it,
so we began to talk the matter over.
There was a little drummer boy in with
u.s. very poor, with no clothes; a pitiful
sight He was hired for 36 extra ra-
tions to give himself up as the one who
stole the dead-line. He was taken by
a guard to Wirzs headquarters, and
confessed he was the offender. What
did you do itffore' said Wirz.
Il was freezing, and / built fire to
keep warm rrepHed the boy. Wirz
looked him over told the guard to take
him to the cook for a piece of corn
bread and then to turn him back in
prison. All the boys were dunlbfound-
ed by this act Of humanity. They all
believed the bpy Mould be shot"

Cumberland Gap.

Editor National Tribune: / am more
than pleased with your Army of the
Cumberland, and with your permission
will add word as to Mill Springs and
Cumberland Gap. Our battery, the 9th
Ohio, or Wetmore's Battery, was pre-
vious to Mill Springs four-gun bat
terry, but two guns captured at that bat
tie were turned over to us. This made
us six-gun battery, with details from
our infantry to help man the additional
guns until we could get recruits from
Ohio. After the battle Capt. Wetmore
received orders to leave Somerset and
march by the way of London to Cum
berland Ford. Our Captain was but 10
years of age and weighed only so
pounds. He was lame In one hip and
was not strong bodily, but he was thor
oughly drilled in light artillery, and the
boys had full confidence in him. He
was the bravest of the brave. During
our march we had to ferry the Rock
castle River, and as the boat was small
only one or two pieces could be taken
over at one time. While we were hard
at work with part of the battery on the
other side Col. De Courcy. with the 18th
Ohio; came up and ordered Capt wet

time ordering his two guns on the other

| cy IL the boat moved from the wharf

over, with fire from his two guns. At
this the Colonel left and went into the
