the French attacked en- masse. The oc-

with them covered the gaping wounds.
Men nre dying constantly. There are
no doctors. no b~andages, nothing. The
wounded must be assisted. but FIRST the
French must be repulsed.
The rain falls harder constantly and
we are all wet to the skin. We shoot

The fact is that child can respect the father

no relief. It was the same old story,
oft repeated--difFerent doctors with
different remedies often nauseating,
which left me really worse off than
before. Then, one day, an old parish

This is but one Of many thousands
of similar letters received during the
past thirty years from doctors, cler-
gymen, lawyers, pharmacists and lay
men who have first known peace and
happiness after taking Aim. And
the best of it is that the patient takes
no risk, financial or physical, in TAX
ing this marvellous organic iron, for
it does not discolor the teeth, as do
other irons; and it aids, instead Of
detracts, in all forms of indigestion.
Statistics show that it benefits over
ninety-four per cent of those who
use It. The proprietors can well af-
ford to unqualifedly guarantee it to
all, and accept the losses of the mi
mute few it fails to relieve Of all suf-
fering. Therefore, all druggists have
been instructed to refund its pur-
chase price if, after taking the first
bottle the patient does not feel Wig
orous, hearty and hale--or SO much
better that he insists on continuing
its use.

Through long days of anguish
And nights devoid of ease
Still heard in his soul the music
Of wonderful melodies |"
-Lonpfellow.

These are the heroes--real heroes
the people who, wracked with bod
lily pain, and suffering untold misery
and agony-still greet one with a
smile, and uncomplaingly complete
their daily tasks.
Such was the life history of the
Rev. E. e. Sullivan, of Savage, Miss,
who, though he suffered the solu-and-
body torture of ever-present pain,
still mounted the pulpit an dpreached
happiness and content to his unsus-
pecting congregation.
So accomplishing, his human flock
never suspected that he spent those
''long nights of misery and days de-
void of ease"-and yet heard within
his soul that music of beautiful melo-
dies"
Have you one such in your family
perhaps crippled up with the insa-
table agony of rheumatism, the
nerve-destroying misery Of continued
back-ache, of the soul-defying troture
of chronic indigestion who still
manages to greet you with smile
and conceals his agony with words
of happiness and cheer?
If 50, the words Of DR.. Sullivan
should interest you-in the cause Of
humanity alone; and you should seek
to create for that beloved one such
"surcrease of sorrow and misery'' as
the last stanza of this famous poem
portrays:
"Then the night shall be filed with
music, and
The cares which infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And silently steal away"
'For years ! suffered the tOrtures
of the damned" DR.. Sullivan writes.
Through the long vigil of sleepless
nights, prayed my Maker-wonder-
ing why ! should be so cursed. But
He at last answered my prayer, and
today / am well and vigorous man
again. May His Name be praised!
