FORT WAYNE, IND.-A new ex-
ample of Abraham Lincoln's humanity
and for people in trouble
has been discovered here in the
archives of the. Lincoln Historical Re-
search Foundation.

Lincoln and told him the story Of her
troubles. She had been engaged to a
young man, who in 1868 enlisted for
three years in the army. After a few
months service he was sent to a hos
pital sick. After his recovery he, with
some other. soldiers, was permitted TO
return home for the election. That
was in October, 1868. The young wom-
an said they had intended TO get mar
ried while he was home, but due to
the objections of her father. the SOL
der returned to his regiment a single
man. The young m confessed 10
the President that there had been in
timacy between them and begged Lin
coin to send her fiance back home so
that they could be married and pre-
vent an "unlawful family" as she ex
pressed it. In conclusion she wrote
Il hope and pray to God you may
not cast me aside in scorn and dis
may"
Nine days later President Lincoln
sent the girls letter to the secretary
of war, with the following annexation
in his own handwriting: Hon. Secre-
tary of War-Send him to her by all
MEANS"

WHAT many people call indiges-
w ton very often means excess
acid in the stomach. The stomach
nerves have been over-stimulated,
and food sours. The corrective is an
alkali, which neutralizes the acids
instantly. And the best alkali known
to medical science is Phillips Milk
of Magnesia.
One spoonful of this harmless,
tasteless alkali in water neutralizes
instantly many times that much
acid, and the symptoms disappear
at once. You will never use crude
methods when once you learn the
efficiency of this. Go, get a small
bottle to try.
Be sure to get the genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia prescribed BY
physicians for SO years in correcting
excess acids. Csc and SOC a bottle
any drug store.
