CLERGY MINISTER TO THE SICK.

From Many Parsonages Come Words of Praise For Paine's Celery Compound.

More practical WOTK and shorter doctrinal sermons distinguish the jjuipit of to-day. Bishops and plain ministers of the gospel are putting tremendous energy into the cause of good government and public health.

The injunction "Minister to the sick and suffering" is Deing literally obeyed. Clergymen are investigating remedies as they have never done before, taking them, themselves and familv, frankly recommending the valuable ones and condemning the worthless.

Rev. W. K. Aldridge, of Birmingham, Ala., says he considers it his duty to let his people know about Paine's Celery Compound, as he speaks from personal knowledge. He says:

Gentlemen:--I had been a filiated for ten years wLr,h what thought to be heart disease, but after having the physicians examine me, I learned that. I was almost dead with indigestion. They told me that they could give me medicine that would relieve mo, but there was no permanent cure. Then I began using Paine's Celery Compound, which gave me immediate relief, and now I am well and enjoying good health. I can recommend Paine's Cel ory Compound to be the best remedy for all ailments I ever used, and furthermore, I teli my people if they will use the compound freely, they will have no doctor's bill to pay.

Clergymen in every denomination are recommending to their parishioners these March days the great spring remedy that makes people well, earnestly endorsing the work of Dartmouth College-generous scientist, and frankly lending their influence to that of the best physicians—advising tne use of Paine's Celery Compound now spring has come.

As soon as one has fairly begun to use Paine's celery compound, every day is a step toward assured health. Nervous. unhappy, aud feeble persons tind iheir llesli becomes more solid, a more healthy color takes the place of the waxy, sallow look, and there comes an increase in the volume of the blood and an improved normal appetite because of this rapid feeding of the entire nervous system.

Clerks, employers, lawyers, doctors, mothers of families, hard working men and women in every state and country, and hosts of brain-workers--the most intelligent part of every community— are to-day taking Paine's celery compound with the happiest results to relieve themselves of rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous exhaustion, dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and low spirits.

Get rid of languor, clear the muddy, unhealthy skin, plump out the body, and get back to a normal, vigorous condition with Paine's celery compound— and begin now. March is the month when it is easiest to begin health.

A SOLDIER'S LETTER.

Ernest W. Cissel Writes Entertainingly From the Far Away Philippines.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Dr. .1. H. Cissel is in receipt of a letter from his son, Sergt. E. W. Cissel, of the 44th U. S. infantry, written from Jagua. The following is a portion of the epistle: "Since last writing you we have undergone several severe shake-ups. On the 11th day of December, Capt. Anderson, A. A. Surgeon Rockhill, and twenty men left Ubay for Jagua to repair the telephone line which was not in working order. They roached .lagua the night of December 12, remaining there two days. On the morning of

December 1" they started on the return trip, taking with them Corp. Wilson, of the U. S. signal corps, who had charge of this end of the line. They stopped at a town called Duero for dinner. aud after resuming lie march had gone but a short distance, perhaps an hour's march, when upon entering a deep rock cut they were suddenly attacked from both sides by about 300 bolo men, who jumped from the clilTs above right into their very midst 'and literallyjburied them. In fact it was their great numbers that saved our boys from complete annihilation.

Blows aimed at them were knocked oil' I by the blows of others. The fight was short and sharp, lasting but about two minutes, for as soon as the guns begau to work the attacking party ran pel 1tnell into the brush and down the road, but not until 53 had paid the penalty of their folly, and God only knows how I many were wounded. After the rebels S had all disappeared they began to look around to see who was left. Each one said that he firmly believed he was the only one left. Two of our men were killed, having been literally cut in shreds, a third died in about fifteen minutes, two were mortally wounded and died theinext day (one being the signal corps man), and three others more or less seriously cut, including

Dr. Rockhill. They strapped their dead across the backs of the captain's and doctor's horses, placed the disabled in a bull cart an 1 returned to Jagua, burning Duero as they passed through, arriving at Jagua about 11 that night. I had been left in command of the station at Ubay and the captain fearing that they would again attack us telegraphed to Cebu for a gunboat to come to our assistance. In some unaccountable way the telegram that reached the colonel stated that we had been attacked and a gunboat was rushed posthaste to our assistance. On the morning of December 17 a man-of-war came in sight with her action flag flying from her topsail. I had heard nothing of the captain's fight and could not imagine why that ship was making for our port all cleared for action. She dropped anchor about one mile off shore and immediately several small boats full of marines put off for shore. did not know what in the world it meant. The big ship was not lying idly shifting with the tide, but kept head on, so that her forward batteries bore continually on our little village. 1 began to smell a "rat" and suspected that there had been some trouble and that insurrectos were headed our way.

The commandant of the ship came ashore and seemed surprised to find us there calmly awaiting him. He had understood that we had been attacked, driven into the church and were surrounded by 500 insurrectos. I told him that we had not the slightest indication of trouble and were resting easy, that we had 18 men available for duty and were anxious to get a chance to "hot foot" a few across the prairie. He then showed me a letter from the colonel detailing Captain Anderson's attack and stating that he feared that we would have to stand the brunt of revenge for the terrible punishment he dealt out to them. But they evidently had enough for they did not trouble us.

The commandant recalled the marines and steamed away. That night a government tug, with a lorcha in tow, came in port, with Major-Surgeon Lippett in command, with orders to remove the port of Ubay to Jagua, and the major stated that he wanted to leave by daylight. There it was. All our stuff, and we had a pile of it, too, to move in a single night. Owing to existing rumors the major was 'ill at ease.' 1 do not say that he was afraid, but he was 'poco kadlow' (trifle skittish), and when night came he doubled the guard, which put 12 of the available 18 on guard. Consequently six men were left to move the station by daylight. I got 'wrathy' at this and ordered the men to bod, and the major be 'damned' with his double guard anil daylight business. They had no business to send a pill peddlar in charge of a move of that kind anyway. I expected to be court martialed and shot the next morning, but I did not care for it simply madoi me 'boil' to be put under anyone so thoughtless and un reasonable. When he asked next morning how much longer it would require to finish loading, I told him if he would relieve the guard that we .might be able to get loaded by night. This he condesended to do, and at about eight o'clock that night we left for Jaqua arriving hero the next day, and 'yere we be.

The company is now practically all together, a few being absent sick, and one or two on detached service. "We are quartered in tho 'convente,' more properly known as the priest's palace. It is a large, roomy building and an ideal soldier barracks. Each squad has a room to itself, and the men having made many home-like conveniences, are apparently happily situated. 1 have a room on the southeast corner of the building, in which I and my boy (Budoj) hold forth. Looking out of the east windows the eye is met by the grandeur of the rugged and majestic mountains, and from the south windows you look out upon the erratic ocean, at times raging with storm lashed waves, and again as calm and peaceful as a pleasant dream. Can you imagine my surroundings? "Well, the time is nearing when we shall bo homeward bound. I cannot decide whether I am ready to come home or not. Sometimes I think that nothing can keep me here aud again I am fully convinced that this is the place for a young man with little money to seek his fortune. Of one thing 1 am certain. I will never again accept an indoor position. The army has taught me the value of plenty of fresh air. 1 have suffered pain day in and day out until I joined the army, and now pain is entirely foreign. I may have abused my health in civil life, but little is known of what I suffered dally. "I have beenoffered a flattering position on the metropolitan police force of

Manila'at $75 per month, and furnished clothes and quarters, with chance for promotion. The objectionable part of it, however, is that I would have to give contract for three years, while they hold privilege of discharging you at any time. I am undecided as to whether I would like it or not, and three years is along time to bs engaged in an .unpleasant pursuit. A position hasobeen offered me in the Collector of Customs department at Iloilo at $80 per month, but oh, no, I 'savvy mucho' army clerical pos'tions—work until your work is done and no end anywhere. "I wrote a short letter to mother the other day conccrning some allotments

I bought. She must be sure to keep me informed about them. "Another«thing for mother to do. My boy wants a shirt waist. He looks at the pictures in all the magazines and papers that I get and seems infatuated with shirt waists. He will bring them to me saying: 'Americano bata muy bonitalcoraesia,' which means 'American boys have pretty shirts.' Some time ago he came tome and said: 'Escribe su Madre para una comesia muy bonito pero yo, equales esta, pero yo carro mucho tambain Americano bata, bein su Madre amigo en todas de tiempo,' which translated means 'Write your mother for a pretty shirt for me HKO this (showing me a picture) because Iifwant to be like American boys, and tell your mother she will have a friend forever I want mother to buy him a pretty little waist and send it to me for him. He likes the

Lord Fauntleroy 9tyle the best, with big collar and cuffs. 1 asked him how he knew my mother would send him one and, sharp enough, he said that I lost my medicine case, housewife and things and she sent me more, and she could send a waist as easily. 1 forgot it in my last letter and he has already begun to watch the mails. He is 12 or 13 years old, but answers to about six or seven years in American sizes. Be sure not to forget it. It will hardly reach here before we leave, but if I decide to stay here I shall keep the boy, and anyway it is only a matter of a dollar or two, and no great damage will be done, and if it should arrive in time you will have an 'amigo en todas de tiempo." "1 think this letter will bo totally void of interest, but it will have to do for this time. Hoping this will find you all well and happy, 1 remain your obedient son aud loving brother,

you a sufferer from weak or diseased eyes? Is your sight impaired oi failing? Do your eyes smart, burn or itch when reading or doing any near work? Are you troubled with iullamed or granulated lids? Such conditions are caused by errors of refraction. Don't bo deluded by the idoa that nature will cure this, or that it will soon pass away. Delays and cxcuscs avail nothing. Tho disease grows while you hesitate. to permanently correct such conditions without operations or tho uso of prisms, which are always dangerous. A large per cent, of all so-called diseases of the nervous system are caused by excessive strain upon tho nerves of the eye, which, being intimately connected with all parts of the body by the sympathetic nerves, may cause diseased conditions to exist, and such ills as headache, constipation, piles, indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous debility and prostration, female woakness, painful and protracted menstruation, or even fits or insanity bo tho natural consequence. I REMOVE THE CAUSE by correcting those errors, and absolutely guarantee to give satisfaction in every case undertaken.
