can only offer in my humble way a few
observations about Abraham Lincoln
as the hero in the preservation of the
Union.
mo fact in American history is plain
no fact is more exuberant with com
prehensive meaning and happy results
as the fact that Abraham Lincoln
sayed the Union. 1t means that he
rescued the priceless gem of American
liberty, that he gave new impulse
to the development and constructive
ness of the American genius which
is the delight at home and the wonder
among the nations.

Whose .Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has TO take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony is
not that of disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
credit as If written from disinterested
motives DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence OF invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
sufferers are taken into DIR. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise of the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
we'll known medicines.
Amongst these writer's we find such med
tcal lights as Prof. Finley Ellingwood. NJ. D.,
Of Bennett Medical College Chicago; Prot.
