The Original Uncle i#am,
When we talk of the United States
government in a familiar sort of way
we call it “Uncle Sam;” and you have
often seem pictures of Uncle Sam—a
long, lean, old-fashioned Yankee, with
a high hat and a swallow-tail coat and
breeches marked with the stars and
stripes of the flag. The way in which
p- n ited States came to be called
Uncle Sam is this:
During the war of 1812 the United
states government entered Into a con
tract with a man by the name of El
bert Anderson to furnish supplies to
the army. When the United States
buys anything from a contractor, an
lnspe( . tor is always appointed to see
that the goods are what the contract
calls for, and that the government gets
fu] j value In this case the govern
mPn t appointed a man by the name of
g amuel Wilson, who was always called
“Uncle Sam” by those who knew him.
He inspected every package and cask
that came from .Elbert Anderson, the
contractor, and if he found that the
contents were all right, the package or
cask was marked with the letters “E.
1 A U. S.” the initials of the contractor
-
i and of t.he United States. The man
whose duty it was to do this marking
was a jovial sort of a fellow, and when
somebody asked him what these letters
meant, he said they stood for Elbert
Anderson and Uncle Sam. Everybody,
including “Uncle Sam” Wilson himself,
thought this was a very goqd joke; and
by and by it got into print, and before
I the end of the war It was known all
over the country; and that is the way
the United Suites received its name of
; “Uncle Sam.”
| Mr. Wilson, the original “Uncle
1 Sam,” die.l at 1 toy, ^1. Y., in 1854, at
the age of eighty-four.—St. Nicholas.

tlie Old Soldier Gave Azrael

From the News> Barboursville, Ky.
In the year 1863, while in command of a
Union regiment at Cumberland Gap, Col
onel Messer, now of Flat Licks, Kentucky,
received a severe gunshot wound in his ab
domen. In a few months he was again in
the saddle, but soon was obliged to undergo
further medical treatment, and his condi
tion became so serious that in the winter of
1863 he returned to his home, and was never
again fit for active service. During the
years that have since passed, Colonel Messer
has been a confirmed invalid from the effect
of his wound, and has been under the con¬
stant care of the local pbysicans, not im¬
proving, but growing worse as the years
rolled on. His condition eventually be¬
came deplorable. Almost blind,legs swollen,
so that he was unable to walk, the doctors
who could do nothing to arrest the progress
of the disease, diagnosed it ns dropsy, and
said recovery wns impossible. his
The old soldier did not half believe
physicians, but said that since they could
do nothing for him, he would, upon an old
friend’s strong recommendation, try Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The
first box was taken by Col. Messer accord¬
ing to directions, and by the time that was
gone, he felt so much easier and more com¬
fortable, that several other boxes were pro¬
cured, and he continued to take them faith¬
fully. Soon the swelling in his legs disap¬
peared, and with it the fierce rheumatic
pains with which he had long suffered.
Strangest of all, his eyesight, which for so
many years had been useless, was restored.
In all, Colonel Messer took Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills six months, and then was thor¬
oughly cured. He now is a healthy looking
man, rides on horseback, and stands as
mu ch fatigue as any man of his age.
The Colonel, since his recovery, is never
tired of descanting on the virtues of these
pills, and every advertisement that ho finds
he carefully clips, and sends to some sick
friend or neighbor, with the assurance that
they will cure him.
The high standing of Colonel Messer, and
his remarkable recovery, makes this report
more than usually interesting, and when it
was received at the office of the Dr. Wil
liams’ Medicine Co., It was referred to
Messrs. Phipps & Herndon, the well-known
druggists, of Barboursville, Ky., for verifi¬
cation. We append the reply:
B arboursville, Ky., Aug. 18,1896.
Db. Williams’ Med. Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y.
Gentlemen:—Yours of August 14th to
hand, enquiring about testimonial written
by Mr. Sampson concerning Colonel Messer,
of Flat Lick, Ky., will say that the cure of
Colonel M•sser was considered almost mi¬
raculous, and lie claims Pink Pills did it.
Yours truly,
Phipps & Herndon.
Dr. Williams’ Pffik Pills contain, in a con¬
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new’ life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the blood,
and restore the glow of health to pole and
sallow cheeks. In men they effeot a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50,
and may be had of all druggists, or direct
by mail by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medi¬
cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
