N vHcori-CrnK is the only roint'tly in the world that acts directly on the nerve? Mini drives the nicotine from the system in from four to ten days. It leaves the patient in better health than before taking, and is warranted free from any injurious ingredients. Xarcort-C't’HK is popular because it allows the patient to use all the tobacco he wants while under treatment, or until the “‘craving” and “hankering” are gone. It is then no sacrifice to throw away tobacco forever. Nau oii-C i hk is sold at the uniform price of if.VOO a bottle and one bottle cures. Money refunded if a cure is not affected when taken according to direction'.

Gentlemen :—Replying to yours of the 1st. would say that 1 have used tobacco for 10 years, and of late have consumed a 10-oent plug a day, besides smoking considerably. 1 commenced to use tobacco when 1 was only 11 years old and have never been able to give up the habit until 1 took Narcoti-Cure, although l have tried other so-called remedies without effect. After using your remedy four days, all “hankering” or chewing disappeared, ami in four ay* more 'looking became uuplea'ailt.I have no fur? her ilesire for the weed, and experienced no bai^ effects, whatever. I am gaining in tlcsh and feel better than l have for a long time. To all who wish to be free from the tobacco habit 1 would say. use N wu’oi i-< »uk. yours truly, W. X. WAITE.

BATTLES OF THE NINETEENTH INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, “IRON BRIGADE.” In Their Flr.t Encounter the Iii<li»nlan. Iri.pluyctl Iron Nerve—Anttctiim Gave Them Ere.h Laurelh Eiichttna For Time at Getty.hurK In the StrugKle of July 1. [Copyright, IhMfi, by American Pni-s Association. Book rights reserved. ] HE excited war corrospon dent who mistakenly gave the synonym “Iron brigade” to Gibbon’s regtinofns when do scribing their deed nut Antiutnm made no mistake as to the lighting qualities of the men so complimented. They deserved it then, and their valor never abated. With that brigade the Nineteenth Indiana fought its tlrst pitched hutlle at Manassas, Aug. 2S, 18152, and if ever now soldiers displayed iron nerve Gibbon’s men did on that occasion. The opposing troops of Stonewall Jackson and Pope were countermarching ou parallel routes within range of each other. Gibbon's brigade marched in tho center of King's division. Hatch’s brigade was in front and Doubleday’s In the rear. While crossing a stream on the Wnrrenton pike Hatch encountered a force of the enemy, and deploying his men on both sides of the road forced the passage for the division. Gibbon halted his line to await the issue in front and support Hutch if necessary. Suddenly a Confederate battery opened on his command. The position taken up by the enemy’s artillery north of the road had been occupied by one of Hatch’s regiments shortly before, and Gibbon concluded that it must bo one of Stuart’s horse batteries covering Jackson’s rear. A chance to annoy tho Union column would have boon temptation to uuliinbor anil toss a few shells into the road. Gibbon ordered the second regiment of his line to charge the guns. This was the Second Wisconsin. When the regiment moved into full view on thocivsfcof a ridge in front of tho battery, its advance was met by a volley of musketry from a line of Confederate Infantry lying concealed between the hills. Leaving his third regiment in position on the pike, Gibbon sent the fourth regiment of his command to help the Second Wisconsin. The Nineteenth Indiana responded to the call, and in a few minutes formed a line on the left of the Wisconsin boys. The battle opciu 1 with terrific urnugo, hut these novices in war closed up the gaps in their ranks and stood like men of iron, it was no vagrant skirmish King’s division had fallen into, hut a battle with Ewell’s division cW Jack son’s corps. The Indinnians had scarcely formed their line of buttle when a second Confederate battery wheeled into position on their left and began to unlimber. Colonel Meredith had entered tho light on horseback, outriding the storm of bullets that greeted the regiment. Still in saddle, he galloped to tho left of the regiment and wheeled the two end companies around to charge the new enemy. The guns were quickly hauled away, but in place of them aforceof infantry appeared. Colonel Meredith promptly wheeled the entire left wing of the regiment to meet the crisis, but before the now line was formed his horvo was shot dead and fell heavily upon hi; At the same time Major May, commanding tho left wing, was shot down. In spite of the confusion of a broken line and the loss of leaders the men rallied on a second position and held it until tho reserves came to their aid. Tho battle of the Nineteenth was over in an hour, yet in that short time one-half its numbers fell. Out of a total of 422 men engaged 82 wen* killed and 197 wounded or missing. Colonel Meredith’s injury at Manassas did not prevent his lending tho regiment in the Maryland campaign, which followed immediately, hut the fatigue of the march and a lively running fight up the slope of South mountain Sept. I t disabled him for active service at Antiotam. Tho Nineteenth entered the frightful contest opened by Hooker north of Hunker church. A lively description of its experiences is given in the official report of Captain \V. W. Dudley, who led the regiment from the field. He says: “It was at this time that tile attempt was made to take Buttery B, Fourth United States artillery. “Upon seeing the advance of the enemy Lieutenant Colonel Bachman at once changed front forward on Tenth company, so as to front the flank of the enemy. As soon ns it was practicable we opened lire upon them and have every reason to believe that our fire was very effective in repulsing their attack on the battery. Soon we saw the enemy falling back in great disorder, and it was at this juncture that the gallant Colonel Bachman, yielding to the urgent appeals of the men, gave tin* order to charge, and, hut in hand and sword drawn, he gave the order‘Double quickl’ and bravely led on, the men following, cheering as they advanced. \Yo charged across the pike and followed tho retreating Confederates to the brow of the hill, over which they had a strong reserve of infantry and three pieces of artillery, li was at this point that Colonel Bachman tell, mortally wounded.” Before tho charge Bachman's horse had keen shut dead and had crushed his rider’s

jlis

Confodomtt* while the inluntry assailed their flank. The regiment entered the Antiotam fight 200 strong and lost 72 men in all. The whole story of the “Iron Brigade” on that field cannot he included in this sketch of one regiment, but It was there under Gibbon, on tho flank of the army and almost In the lines of Stonewall Jackson, that the proud title was gained. Gibbon’s brigade stood alone around its guns on the Sharpsburg road, while Hooker’s corps swept forward parallel to the pike. Jackson's battalions surged across the pike out of tho woods around the old church and rushed upon Hooker’s flank. Crushed and bleeding they surged hock. Rc-enforoed, they again charged forward, aiming to destroy Gibbon, battery and all, in their advance. Caught in front by the canister fired in doub'o charges, and on the flank by the Nineteenth Indiana and its Inin hearted companion regiments, the Second, Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin, the bleeding battalions struggled home beyond tho pike, not again to venture from their stronghold of rocky woodlands. Another brigade might have done as well in the same place; none could have done better. Gibbon’s four regiments and six guns had held the key to the field during that crisis of the battle when Hooker drove home the entering wedge. Tho two battles of tho Nineteenth Indiana, above described, belong to tho history of the First army corps. In comparison with the most famous corps of the Army of the Potomac, the Second, Fifth and Sixth, the battle record of this body of men is brief. It did not take part in the peninsula campaign of 18(52, and at tho second campaign against Richmond in 18(54 was officially discontinued as a separate organization. Yet it can need no other passport to fame than tho fact that Reynolds led it in the van of the army to Gettysburg, opening the Ink tie there and determining the character of the whole contest by his hold initiative. He died while forming the lines of the First corps to prevent the Confederates from seizing Cemetery ridge. A sharpshooter’s bullet cut him down while he was in the act of directing the leader of the “Iron Urlgade." Colonel Solomon Meredith, where to station his Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan braves and make a stand for the defense of Gettysburg. The making of history was so rapid that morning of July 1 that the mind can scarcely grasp it from the most vivid descriptions language can convey. The lu'st n,,sit ions taken by Reynolds’ advance troops on Caslitown road wore threatened bv a division of Confederates stealing along the ravine of Willoughby run, whore the trees and hushes and curve of the vale completely screened their movements. On tho slopoof ahill between tho stream and the road AicPberson's woods shut out the view from the Union lines ns first formed. Reynolds led the “Iron Rrigade” into tin* woods, doubtless ns a precaution. All that the men and officers knew was that they were there, marching blindly westward in a curved lino liecnuse 1 he high ground described a curve, and soldiers instinctively avoid de-

[Colonel of th<* Nineteenth Indiana and leader of the ‘'Iron Brigade.”] ptvssions unless there are reasons for venturing down. The depression in front was the lied of Willoughby run. Sudden ly the valley filled with smoke, and storms of bullets issued from unseen enemies. Eaeh of tho“Iron Brigade” regiments supposed the firing was done by their friends and that the enemy was ou the farther side of the valley. But sharp eyes hack in the rear had seen over the heads of the advancing column the hattlcflngs of the enemy coming down the stream. Staff officers dashed forward fo end the suspense. Reynolds’ fears bad been realized—the Confederates were tiling across Willoughby run to reach McPherson's woods, the key to the field. “Can you hold these woods?” Reynolds had said to Meredith's men as they filed past. “If we cannot, where will you find the men who can?” No order was needed beyond that. The left of the brigade closed in, crossing the rivulet behind Archer's and Davis’ Confederates and driving them into the lines of their comrades on the other wide of the curve. The Confederate brigades of Archer and Davis were captured. Meredith then formed ids line across the ravine, leaving the Nineteenth Indiana in a hollow, where it was completely at tho mercy of the Confederates on the high ground In front. The regiment suffered terribly in a fight with two fresh brigades of the enemy. Meredith was wounded. Colonel Dudley, the promoted captain, who led the regiment out at Autictnm, went down with a shattered thigh. Aleredlth’s “Iron Brigade” had entered McPherson’s woods with 1,800 muskets; only fioii retired to the stronghold on Cemetery hill. The Nineteenth mustered that morning 288 officers and men; only 78 marched back with the colors. In the Wilderness and Petersburg campaigns the regiment lost 50 killed, making a grand total of 199 deaths in battle, 1(1 per cent of the enrollment. Colonel Williams received a fatal wound at the Wilderness, the third Held officer killed in action. During its two and a half years of fighting 15*e “Iron Brigade”carried on its rolls 7.(572 men, the equivalent of seven and two-thirds infantry regiments, maximum strength. It lost in killed and wounded 8,937, almost four full regiments. The killed in battle numbered 1,121, enough to complete one full regiment of ten companies, with over one company to spare. Gkoiu.k L.
