CIVIL WAITS FIRST VOLUNTEER. '
MaJ. Charles V. Kami, Who le Htlll tie
Inu! at Washington,
Tho first volunteer for tho Civil War
Is allll living. Ho la Dr. Charles 1".
Itand, of Washington. I. C, retired
from active prac
tice by rcKKoit of
tro ti b 1 c s o in
wounds rotelveil
nearly forty years
ngo.
A certllleate In
the t'apltol of New
Vorlc Hlatc at Al
bany attests tho
priority or iJr.
Hand's tender or
Ills services. The
uic c. r. nx.xii. certinrate la slgnetl
by tho Mayor nnd two prominent eltl
reus or llatnvln, N. Y., also by tho
County Clerk and the Hberlff of fjetic
see County, stating that In lens than
10 minutes after the call or President
Lincoln, April 16, 1801, ror 75,000 vol
unteers: was taken from tho wires the
name or Charles V. Hand was enrolled
as a soldier. Among all the war rec
ords at Washington there Is none or an
earlier enlistment than that or Dr.
Itand, and the honor baa therefore
been given hlin by common consent.
Not only was Ur. Itand the first vol
unteer for the Civil War, but be was
also the first soldier to win the Con
grenslonal medal of honor ror distin
guished galantry In action. This event
occurred at Blackburn's fc'ord, Va., In
less than three mouths after his enlist
ment. His command was ordered to
retreat, and every man obeyed save
young Hand, at the time but 18 years
of age. The rest or hla battalion, num
bering 600 men, was swept In disorder
from the field, but Itand held his
ground, notwithstanding the fact that
the field was plowed by shot and shell
all about him. The enemy Anally ab
solutely refused to Are at tho loy,
standing bravely alone and shooting at
them aa coolly aa If he had a thousand
men at his back. Hand then crept
across a deep ravine and Joined the
command of Gen. A. H. Itanium.
Dr. Hand's patriotism and gallantry
have been recognized by two Govern
ors or the State of New York and by
three President. He was twice per
sonally honored by President Lincoln.
New York remembered him with a
gold medal appropriately Inscribed, and
the United States government has pre
sented him with, a plot In the most
beautiful part of Arlington cemetery,
where, at the proper time, the State of
New York will erect a monument
worthy or the first man to offer his
service as a volunteer during the
great rebellion.
SI RAWBERRIES IN LESS FAVOR.
Doctors Looking; Aakance at Them
Cooked Food Recomnieti4ei.
In spite of the atrawberry's centu
ries of popularity. It Is by no means
a wholesome fruit for everybody. It
Is not easily digested raw, and doc
tors usually forbid It to children un
der 6.
Its acid Is peculiarly unwholesome
for persons of rheumatic tendency,
and the fruit Is little less than a pol
son to some constitutions. Tbe doc
tor books do not set down tbe straw
berry among the vegetable poisons,
but what Is popularly known as straw
berry poison Is very common at the
spring season or the year, says the
New York Sun.
Marked cases or strawberry poison
ing are attended with rever, lassitude
and other disagreeable symptoms. In
some cases tbe race and body are
marked with large areas or strong
red, suggesting at first scarlet rever.
These areas run Into odd-looking
patches, and ln some Instances become
almost purple.
The usual remedy Is to quit eating
strawberries, but sometimes the pa
tients require corrective medicines.
Many who have had the disease. If
such It should be called, are able after
a cure to eat the berries In modera
tion. Some, however, can never again
eat so many as hair a dozen strawber
ries with sarety. A lucky few con
tract a strong distaste Tor the berries
after such an attack, and have no
difflculty In leaving them off tbelr bill
of rare.
Some, who cannot eat the straw
berry ln Its natural condition, can eat
it cooked, and the doctors recommend
tho cooking or (bis and other berries
ror children. In ract, tbe doctors nre

that most fruits, ospechilly when not

Even tbe apple has been attacked
and many persons nre advised to eat
baked apples rather than raw apples,
no matter how fresh and mellow. An
additional reason why cooked fruits
are recommended lies ln the fact that

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Yoa know when rich, red blood is coursing through
the veins, for it shows in the brightness of the eye, the
beauty and clearness of the complexion, the smooth, fair
skin, and robust, healthy constitution. It is rood blood
that imparts strength and energy to the body and keeps it in a state c!
healthfulness asd vigor. Good blood is the foundation ol good health, and
to be physically and mentally sound it must be kept pure and untainted.
reopte witn gooa mooa possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
icalth, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afflict
humanity and undermine the constitu
tion are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and tbe
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluirirish. impure blood than anv other
cause. To build up the blood, restore its lost properties nnd make It rich
and nutritious again is the only rational treatment, and the proper way to
get rid of skin troubles. There is no remedy like S. S. S. to accomplish this
disappear, tbe appetite improves, the complexion clears and you get rid of
those miserable depressing feelings and nervousness, and enjoy once more the
blessings of good health. S. S. S. is nature's remedy for all blood and skin dis
eases. It contains no minerals whatever, but is guaranteed purely vegetable.
