If the digestive organs are not prop

ton, which is absolutely essential to
the recovery of other diseased parts,
will be lacking and there can be no
permanent relief When bodily nutri-
ton is normal, the stomach digests the
food, the blood absorbs and carries the
nourishment to the different parts of
the body, causing the various organs
to properly perform their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in the
ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the
new herbal stomach remedy, which is
now being introduced here 1t is pure

pronounced that beneficial results are

der A pardox of the Civil War is
that the anquished are more blessed
than the victors. While that war re-
suited in the freedom of three million
Africans it at the same time set at lib

destruction of African slavery was the
greatest boon that ever came to the
South. Since freedom, she has trans
formed land of desolation and ruin
into land of great prosperity. Instead
of the few receiving the bounty of ma

away by the war, are being rebuilt to

ANNUAL MEMORIAL
ADDRESS MADE TO
THE CIVIL WAR VETS
DR.. ]. J. Dickey Delivers FOrecful Ad.
dress to Survivors of the Tenth
and Sixteenth Kentucky
Regiments,

DR.. ]. j. Dickey delivered the annual
Memorial address at the reunion of the
veterans of the Tenth and Sixteenth
Kentucky regiments held at Beech
wood Park, this city, Wednesday Sep
TENDER 20. The speaker said in part:
Venerable Men; Again you are
permitted to meet in annual reunion.
Your vanishing numbers remind us
that "the paths of glory, lead but to
the grave Since you last greeted each
other in this place, made sacred by the
associations of other days, eight of
your number have heard their last
tattoo and have retired to their bar
racks of clay. The Great Commander
has graciously extended your time,
and has given to US, again, the honor
Of your presence. We greet you with
feelings of gratitude and reverence.
No body of men has ever met within
our gates to whom we owe so much as
we do to you. Measured by their in
auence for good upon mankind, your
achievements have had wider and
more potent effect than any other
war in history. This at first glance
may seem an extravagant statement,
but the facts in the case will justify
the assertion
First, the effect of the great Civil
War settled two questions of momen-
tous Importance to our beloved land.
From the formation of our govern
ment there were two interpretations OF
the Constitution regarding the relation
of the states to the Federal Union. One
school taught that since the union
was formed by the voluntary action OF
the individual states that when the
citizens of any of the states saw fit to
withdraw from the Union they had a
perfect right to do so. The other
school held that no such right was re-
served to the states. The existence Of
these two views kept yhe people in 6
p state of anxiety and unrest up to the
Civil War. These questions were dis
cussed in the halls Of Congress, in the
state legislatures, in the colleges anC
universities, in the country schoo
houses, in the secular press, ant
around the firesides of the Nation. Tit
discussion kept alive an apprehension
of the dissolution Of the Union. TIL,
hearts of patriots vibrated between
hope and fear. The great Massachu
sets statesman in one of his ponder
GUS speeches, referring to such pos
sible fate, using building as figur
of speech, said If this building fall,
will rise not again. Like the Colosseum
and the Parthenon it will be doomed t
