NO SURRENDER.
Ever constant ever true,
Let the word be, No surrender I
Boldly dare and greatly do I
This shall bring us safely through
No surrender, no surreuder I
And though fortune's smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
BtiU Inspiring me and you
with tbe maglo No surrender I
Nail the colors to the mast
Shouting gladly, No surrender I
Troubles near are all but past
Serve them aajyou did the last
No aitrrendor, no surrender I
Though the skies be overcast,
And upon the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast
Beat them off with No surrender I
Constant and frfmrageous still,
Mind, the word Is, No surrender I

No surrender, no surrender I

No Whiskey!
Brown's Iron nrrrtRS
is one of the very few tonic
medicine that are not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper
ance by promoting a dvsirc
for rum.
Brown's Iron Bittfrs
is guaranteed to he a non
intoxicating stimulant, anJ
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other jntoxi
eating beverages.
Rev. G. W. R tor., editor of
the American Christian R'
first', says of Diown's Iron
Hitters:
nn .O .Nov. t, i8Sr. '
Gents i The foolish sat
ing nf vital force in liunm-M,
pleasure, and vicious Indul
gence of uur peorlc, makrt
your preparation a necessity ;
arul if applied, will uve hun
dreds who resort lo saloons
(or temporary rccuicrauoo.
Brown's Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, tic, and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relief.
