Croup Cured After Doctors Failed "When a boy, I was subject to croup, the last attack being when about twelve years old. The doctor had almost given me up, every remedy that he tried having failed to afford relief. At last, he gave me Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and a speedy cure was the result.

Eastern Advertising managers, Atlanta, Ga. Entered at the postoffice, Nashville, Tenn., as second-class matter. Though men deserve, they may not win success, BINDERS FOR THE VETERAN. There has recently been such increased interest in binders for the VETERAN, that to supply them has been decided upon. Let all who have not done so and desire them, send in their orders during the month. of March, and in April all orders will be supplied. Friends who have kept files with an occasional loss of one, two or three numbers will be supplied with missing numbers since July and others that may be on hand, free of charge, if they wish to bind them. Remember the cost of binding: $1.30 for flexible. cloth, or $1.60 with leather with renewal of subscrip. tion, or independently of subscription, the cloth and the leather at 40 cents and 80 cents respectively. Mr. James Williams, Assistant Secretary of the Shiloh Battlefield Association, again requests that comrades who participated in that battle will be diligent to send in their names, as he wants to complete the Roster as early as possible. Thanks for the active good will of comrades and friends for the multitude of good things sent recently to the VETERAN. The promise for March number is most gratifying. The January VETERAN had its usual spa e of thirty-two pages, and, in addition, eight pages in advertising Monteagle, Tenn. This number contains unusually valuable historic matter for the South not specifically connected with the great Confederate war. George Washington, George Peabody, and the University of the South have liberal attention, as will be seen in illustrated articles. Fred C. Low, of Gloucester, Mass., gives an interesting account of a visit to the battlefields in Virginia, with which he was familiar thirty years ago. He mentions the purchase by his comrade, Horace H. Shaw, of the First Maine heavy Artillery, of the field near Petersburg, upon which a severe battle was fought by that battery, where they have erected a monument, and of the voluntary offer by A. P. Hill Camp Confederate Veterans to look after it as they would if their own. Permission is given the A. P. Hill Camp to erect Confederate monuments anywhere they may choose upon that ground made sacred by "heroic blood of both North and South." Comrades generally familiar with the Confederate Veteran Camp of New York, will be gratified at its determination to become more useful than ever, upon the inspiration given by its new Commander, Col. A. G. Dickinson, who was its chief officer when first organized. The Adjutant, Thomas L. Moore, sends out a series of resolutions adopted by the Camp, which are, in substance, to build up a society from which they may expect sympathy and succor in the hour of bereavement and adversity, to enjoy the companionship of one another, to recall the scenes of ambition and adventurous youth passed in the stirring period of desperate war, to talk over the march, the bivouac and the battle, and to review the humor which was often a relief amid scenes of darkness, and again sing the songs of Dixie; "to renew our regard for the soldier of the North, who has ever extended us courteous and chivalrous consideration and neither asks nor expects apologies from us." It is the wish of the Camp that a burying-ground be set apart, where our comrades may have at last a resting place, and to erect an appropriate monument. It is resolved that in the future the charity funds of the Camp shall be devoted to the relief of its members, and that the Commander be authorized and requested to appoint Committees to attend the sick or dying members of the Camp as he may in his judgment deem fit. Also, that the Executive Committee adopt such measures as are necessary to accomplish these ends. Major Edward Owen, of that Camp, has ever been helpful to the VETERAN. |
