Soldiers, Pensioners, Widows and Mothers, of the United States: President Harrison has signed the Great Disability Pension Bill, under which and other existing laws o about $172,000,000 of money will be paid out to soldiers, widows, etc., the coming year. Read copy of the Law herewith. ®­3 Why not get in your case and secure your money before death overtakes you. This is the proper and obest place for all claimants to apply. Why? Because Greatest Experience. Because Greatest ability.—Com- pare this work with others that you meet with. Because Quickest and Best Facilities. Because, being a Law- yer, and not a mere claim agent, I am able to properly insist upon just allowances. Because here at the r Capitol and free access to all Government Departments. Why look elsewhere? w It is a waste of time and loss of money to look elsewhere! Write here at once: Justices, Notaries, Law- oyers and Physicians should send all their friend's cases here without delay. ty Who are entitled:- 1. Nearly every soldier who draws less than $12 per month. Those with $1, $2, $3, $4, $6, &c., entitled! 2. Nearly every Mexican soldier can give up his present pension of $8 and get $12 per month. a a3. Every widow is entitled to $8. It makes no difference how soldier died, nor when, nor where! If soldier Et w is dead, the widow is entitled. That is all there is about it. E-+ 4. Every soldier is entitled from $6 to $12, according to extent of disability. It matters not when, where or v how disabled or diseased. If leg or arm injured, shoulder broken, ruptured or diseased,before or since t w war, on the railroad, on the farm, or in the mill—it matters not where nor how—you have a good case. wGive me the facts, and get your pension. 5. Mothers and fathers are entitled. P'� 6. All children under 16, and if deformed, idiotic, &c., pension can be continued during life. CIO wInd are the provisions of this Great Law. If you have an Old Claim pending under the Old Law; or E, Pensioner now with less than the New Law gives, write to me at once, and let me get you the money under this � New Law in a few months. This can be done, and the new claim will not interfere with the old one, nor I with vour old Attorney. P,rhaps you have waited for years; why not try these experienced Offices with your short wcase, under this new law,with Pension in your hands in a few months? Others find it pays to do so. The New c- a Law provides for this. Read it! If your case has been rejected; if you have never applied—all should apply � to these Law Offices AT ONCE. -- 41 E- ADDRHss : HENRY D.
