Mr.. j. E. MARsnAL,-Dear Sir: In compli-
ance with your request, make this simple state
ment of facts My boy Daniel stuck q thorn in
his foot about the first Of last June, the thorn
was extracted, and no more thought of it for Is
or 30 days, his foot then began to swell, and i'll
few days it was opened. 1t discharged large
quantity of matter. The discharge continued
for eight days, and then ceased. His foot then
RECOMMENDED swelling and extended up his leg,
thigh and hip, with violent pain. He then be
gan to spit from his lungs matter similar to that
discharged from the absccss OIL his foot / then
called in medical aid, and from the remedies used
he was alternately better and worse for eight or
ten weeks. During this time large absccss
formed upon the hip, the discharge was large,
and as soon as it ceased, general swelling Of his
leg, thigh and breast commenced, which was very
hard to the touch, and at times experienced much
difficulty in swallowing. Medical aid seemed OF
no further avail, and was discontinued. then
had recourse to your "Nlagical Pain Eradicator. J"
In forty eight hours, from the time commenced
its use his foot began to soften the swelling on
his hip and breast subsidized, and am pleased to
say he is noD ,1el.

CURE OF
Rheumatism, Bronchitis and Dyspepsia.

of New Jersey, Of distinguished "s,sinmensa ard ex
alted reputation
SipS.1, New Jersey, July II, 1913.
DR.. A. n. CHaisri.-Dear Sir: You wish to know
Of what has been the result in my own case Of The
application Of THE GALyANiC BELT AND MEEK.
LACE. My reply is as follows:
For ahou, iven,y yes1, had been suffering frum
Dyspepsia Every year the symptoms became worse,
nor could obtain permanent relief from any course oi
medical treatment whatever About fourteen years
since, IN consequence Of frequent exposure to the
weather in the discharge Of my pastoral duties be-
came subject to o severe Chronic Rheumatism wllich
for ycnr after year. caused ndescr liable anguish
Farther: in the winter OF y? and 10. IN consequence
of preaching great deal in my own and various
other churches in this region, was attacked by the
Bronchitis which became so severe as to require
an immediate suspension OF ms pastoral luhors Ny
nervous sysfe lras thoroughly pro'rated and an
my Bronchitis became worse so also did my Dyspepsia
and Rheumatic afIcction-thus eviDcing that these
disorders connected with each Other through the
medium OF the Nervous System. In the whole
pharmscopnia there seemed to be no remedial agent
which could reach and recuperate my Nervous Sys.
tenn every thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed A. last was led by my friends
To examine your ensions, and though with no very
sangune hopes Of their eiciencyl determined TO try
the effect Of the application of the GALYANlC BELT

The Old Maid who wanted Husband.

Old Gov. l., of Vermont, was one
Of the most nveterate jolsers of the early
times. Here is one of his yarns which
never has been related in print, and never
can be, perhaps, with much effect but we
will try it. One fall as he was returning
from the Legislature on horseback, as
usual at that day, he was hailed from a
house by garrulous old maid, who had
often annoyed him with questions respect
ing public affairs
Well, Governor" said she, coming
out towards the road, "what new laws
have you passed at Montpelier, this time ?
"Well, one rather singular law among
the rest" he replied.
"Dew tell Now, what is it, Cover
nor9" asked the excited querist.
"Why, that the woman in each town,
who has the smallest mouth, shall be war
ranted husband"
Whoy, whot~ said she, drawing up
her mouth to the smallest compass, "whot
queer curious lor that is !"
eyes, but we have passed another that
beats that-the woman who has the lar.
gest mouth is to have two husbands"
"Why, whart~ exclaimed the old
maid, instantly relaxing her mouth and
stretching it wider and wider at every
syllable, "what remarkable law that is
when does it come in force, Cover
nor?"
At this, the Governor put spurs to his
horse, and vanquished.-Green Mountain
