"Thc great reputatio of Kar-

because of the great benefits they
receive from its use. Thousands
have written letters of thanks for
the splendid results they get from
it. A trial quickly shows that
Karnak is a different and better

Julia Ward Howe and the "Battle
Hymn OF The Republic

In the IndependentRepor Of re-
cent date r. r. Patten writes of the
inspiration that came to Julia Ward
Howe which resulted in giving to our
country the immortal Battle Hymn,
and says the cause was her attend
ing a patriotic meeting and listening
to the speeches and singing. Possibly
Mr.. Patten may be correct but there
are different versions that have come
to us in regard to the writing OF this
hymn, and I beg to record the one |
believe to be the correct one, or, at
least, it is more in harmony with the
sentiments expressed in this great
production of the Civil War era and
which stands alongside with Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address.
November 20, 1861, the great review
of the army of the Potomac took
place at Baiy's Cross Roads. some
six or eight miles west of Washing
ton. There were 10000 soldiers re-
viewed by President Lincoln, Cabinet
members. members of Congress, gov
ernors and other prominent men and
women, who came TO witness this
great military display and among the
many was Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. 1t
seems that the sight of this great
army, representing the force that was
destined to "trample out the vintage,
where the grapes of wrath are stor-
ed and in going and returning from
the review she was inspired to write:
Il have seen him in the watchfres
of hundred circling camps,
lie hath builded him an altar in the
"a nd
can read His righteous sentence
by the dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on
What could be more fitting, or more
inspiring to the soul and brain of that
gifted author, than the view she had
on that eventful day of the FURNISHED
rows of steel which were represented
by seventy thousand glistening bay
onets carried on the rifles of the SOL
diers as they marched close columns
in review?
After these great military scenes
and the martial music that rang out
from more than hundred drum corps.
She returned to her hotel at the Ma
TONS Capital and before morning that
wonderful masterpiece of heart and
mind was coined and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic given to the
world.
The writer of this article carried a
rife in that great review and also oc-
cupied a tent that made one in hun
dred circling camps" that attracted
the attention of Mrs. Howe as she
passed by them.
After the war closed and this fa-
nous. hymn began stirring the patrio-
tic hearts of millions | read in some
magazine how the Battle Hymn came
to be written, and the great military
review, so closely connected with it.,
and have ever believed it to be true.
A more convincing factor, related to
military and army life, is the use of
the following phrases: Terrible
swift sword" "Circling camps" Bur
nished rows of steel" "The trumpet
or bugle,' "Neyer call retreat,
marching on which evidently Mrs.
Howe never would have thought of by
simply listening to speeches and
song.

host of other symptoms and COM
plants not generally recognized
as having their origin in stomach,
abdominal and digestive derange-
mcnts. AS a general health-build-
or and strength restorative Kar-
max has become the sensation of
the drug trade everywhere it has
been introduced.
RESTORES LOST VITALITY
The action of Karnak is so
natural and beneficial that it has
won the name of "the master
health-builder." 1t increases the
appetite for wholesome food and
helps the digestion turn this food
into strengthening nourishment
which builds up firm flesh and
strong uscular tissue. 1t
strengthens the organs OF eliml-
nation, purifies the blood stream
and builds up the whole body IN
tone, vigor and vitality.
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
Karnak is sold under a strict
guarantee that the first two bot
Ties will produce beneficial results
or the purchase price will be re-
funded without question. Both
the manufacturers and the local
distributors stand squarely be
hind this guarantee.
Karnak is sold in Skowhegan by
Simpsons Drug Store, and by the
leading druggist in every town.
