There wasn't a "treasonable" utter

Weakness.
How many suffer from weakness!
And what a distressful ailment it is.
Always praying for strength and yet
feeling oneself growing weaker and
weaker. There is great virtue in B
B B (Botanic Blood Balm) as a
strengthening as well as a healing
medicine. Try it as a tonic and see
how much better you will feel. It
will improve both appetite and d;
.vslinn. It is an excellent remedy
to use while convalescing. It aids a
natural and rapid recovery. In cases
where an invalid has remained long
in bed and bed sores or other ulcers
break out, this remedy will afford
quick relief.

typhoid fever, which at last teemed

But this "solid ammunition" busi
ness was an utterly useless precau
tion. That doughty parlor knight
and newspaper warrior, the valiant
"Col." (self-styled) Elliott F. Shep

was not an unfriendly face to be en
countered anywhere and therefore
no enemy to engage. It is a big
secret, but the , thing is over and
done with now, and so we will let
he cat out of the bag. They did
go armed with ''solid ammunition."
Each man, in addition to his. mus
ket, carried, a ten-inch dynamite
shell in his West pants pocket

knapsack was a ten-inch columbiad.
