Ages of Soldiers Who Fought 7,000 Battles on Land and Sea.

The Rational Tribune contains the following Interesting article relative ..to the ages of the l uion soldiers who fought the battles of the civil war: There were 682,117 who were over 21 years of age; 1,159,789 who were 21 years and tinder; 844,881 were 17 years old and under,- 231,051 were 16 years old and under; 104,987 Were 15 years, old and under; 200 were 13 years old and under; 278 were 12 yean? old and under. There were 2,941,906 men and boys 6worn into the defense of their country during the civil War in the United States. The extreme youth of these patriots is one of the most remarkable records in the annuals of the world’s warfare. The men who reenlisted are counted twice, as there Is no practical way to estimate the number of individual persons. Nearly ’1 three-fourths of the men who stood in the Union ranks in the civil war were native-born Americans. The others were the best and bravest blood of fellow-nations. There were more than 7,000 battles and skirmishes fought on land and sea. There were 6,354 officers and 110,705 enlisted men killed or died from wounds; 2,712 officers and 197,008 enlisted men died of disease, making a total of 359,528 deaths. The Confederate losses were not as heavy as those of the Union army, who were the assailants. The cost of the war was $6,189,929,908. There are 241,538 boys in blue sleeping in the National cemeteries in the Southland. Over one-half of these graves are marked “Unknown.” At Anderson, Ga., there sleep 13,000 who died of starvation and disease rather than desert the flag and the Union. This is a great record and shows how devoted the Union soldier was to his Flag and his Country.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Here’s Rensselaer proof: William Clift, 528 College Street Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I had kidney and bladder trouble and my back ached severely.
