RECENT LITERATURE.

LEAVES FROM A LAWYERS LIFE
AFLOAT AND ASHORE. BY Charles
Cowley Author of History of Low
ell,' Famous Divorces of all Ages"
"Reminiscences of James c. Aver"
etc, etc. Published by Lee & Shep-
ard.
Comrade Cowley, while on the staff
of Admiral Dahlgren, made it a GUS
tom to note incidents that took place
in the squadron, and he has woven
these notes into a very interesting and
valuable narrative of the war as seen
from the deck of a ship. While he is
inflexibly Union in his sentiments and
thoughts, he does not hesitate to treat
the Lost Cause with candor and to give
it's supporters the credit that is due
them. 1t is valuable in itself and also
because We have entirely too little lit
erature bearing upon the service of our
gallant seamen in the great struggle for
the preservation of the Union. Sailors
are not usually writing men as much
as soldiers are, and when one of them
can be gotten to write his contribution
is welcome indeed. especially when he
writes as well as Judge Cowley does.

This is an invitation that YOU simply
cannot afford to ignore I'll tell you
why.
I'm going to feed you on food that
''stops the sharp pangs of dyspepsia in
two minutes by the watch" so swears
Mr.. Henry Gray. and many others.
A food that made Assistant Post
master Estes ''feel like a 2-year-old in
clover pasture
A food that makes brains in five
hours and blood in four.
A highly nutritious. stomachic food,
made from the pineapple, and the
pawpaw-melon, figs, oranges. celery
and few other good things for the
nerves, stomach and bowels
You may be starving your blood and
brain in the midst of plenty. 1t isn't
how You digest the food you eat.
You can't get steam out of water
without fire; you can't get BRAIN
power. nerve force and blood corpus
cles out of food without digestion
Thousands lack sufficient vital force
and don't know why
They think they need tonic, vaca-
ton or change of scenery. But they
don't. It's old indigestion that's the
matter with them, and six days use of
my Biscuit will prove it.
They don't get the strength out of
their food. It's like running corn
through mill with the rollers too wide
apart: the corn goes through, but the
mill doesn't grind
Don't think you must have a pain to
have indigestion.
Lack of flesh, too much fat, pimpIes.
blOtches. sallow complexion, lack of
nerve force. impoverished blood, insom-
mia, headaches, weak brain power, NAV
all be due to faulty digestive process
either in the stomach or bowels.
Eat my Biscuit along with your other
| food for week and find out how your
digestive organs are working. If the
Biscuit helps you greatly, gives you
more force, strength and brain power,
you may set it down that your stomach,
liver and bowels were doing their duty.
