ST 0 VARS AO TODAY. SINTER WAS FRED UPON Half a Century Has Elapsed Since First Shell Ushered “In the Civil War. STORY OF THE SIEGE. Union Garrison in Desperate Fix With Only Bacon Rind to Eat. ‘There came a puff of smoke from an old-fashioned mortar. A hissing, screeching shell sailed in a quarter ctrole from Fort Johnson, seemed to hesitate, then exploded just like a sky rooket at the climax of ite fight. One hum@red and seven men and nine om-| cere awoke in the garrison of Fort Sumter. yOf these forty-three men were volunteers from the ranks of 0 work- men who had been engaged in building the fort. They offered to remain and help the soldiers resist any attack. The ‘ugie in the fort's yard hastily sounded the call to arm ‘They heard that cal! from Maine to! the Rio Grande, and it was the real, Vor thirty years laborers had been paling bricks and stone upon a shoal of Charleston Harbor that Fort Sumter might be born.

But it offered a much detter ref for the little handful of United st. troops than did the Moultrie post. 30 Major Anderson packed his little be- longings and took his men over to the new post. At Washington they knew that Sumter was no point for dalliance. Already the steamer Star had started to relieve the fort when Confederate una had on Jun, 9 1861, been turned upon her and she was forced to leave the garrison without sovely needed eup- Diles.

More than forty years of expefience has proven its superior worth as a blood-purifier and invigorating tonic for the cure of stomach disorders and all liver ills, It builds up the run-down system as no other tonic can in which alcohol is used. The active medicinal principles of native roots such as Golden Seal and Queen’s root, Stone root and Mandrake root, Bloodroot and Black Cherrybark are extracted and preserved by the use of chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine. Send to Dr. R. V. Pierce at Buffalo, N. Y., for free booklet which quotes extracts from well-recognized medical aythorities | such as Drs. Bartholow, King, Scuddet, Coe, Ellingwood and a host of others, showing that these roots can be depended upon for their curative action in all weak states of the stomach, accom- panied by indigestion or dyspepsia as well as in all bilious or liver complaints and in all “wasting diseases” where there is loss of flesh and gradual running down of the strength and system, vs The ‘‘Goiden Medical Discovery” makes rich, pure blood and so invigorates and regulates the stomach, liver and bowels, and through them, the whole system. Thus all skin affections, blotches, pimples and eruptions as well as scrofulous swellings and old open running sores or ulcers are cured and healed. In treating old running sores, or ulcers, it is well to insure their healing to apply to them Dr, Pierce's All-Healing Salve. If your druggist don’t happen to have this Salve in stock, send fifty cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute, Buffalo, N.
