A Strange Adventure.

Il
misery that can be :ound in the back region
of the country. Much of this suffering an
misery can be speedily banished and ale
waited by very simple means, as will be seer
by the following letter:
To the Editors of the Sunday Times:
AsIwas travelling from Batesville, Arkan
sas, to Carrollton, witnessed one of the
most distressing, hearuending scenes o.
suffering that has ever enveloped family
in misery; but ,th ank God, my timely arrival
al the cabin of the sufferers was the means
of relieving them from their torturing situa-
tion.
Three years ago William Edwards was
thriving farmer in Western Pennsylvania,
and for the county in which he lived was
considered wealthy; but as amb ition is the
prominent feature in the American orgauiza-
ton, and as great inducements were held
out to on. enterprising farmers 10 purchase
large section Of land in Arkansas, he select
ed that state and accepted the profered in
ducements as the foundation on which his
ambitious desires were to be realized -
With his wife and seven children he emigrat-
ed to his new home in Arkansas. But,
alas. ,tor human ca 'culation. Distantly
sett.ed from any habitation where. if in
need of any assistance, he might obtain it.
he was shut out from the friendly aid of
those " ho, in the hours of sickness or danger.
would tighten with friendly counsel and
promp: assi.' ance the heavy burdens entail
ed by that sad infrmity.
The first blow of sorrow was the sickness
of his youngest child. She was seiz d with
diarrhea, which, from neglect and the want
of proper remedies to check it when it first
made lis appearance, had become chronic,
and the fine, hearty, chubby, square built.
rosy faced child of six years, had wasted
away to peak laced skeleton. The fathers
hopes in the life of his child were st, and,
to increase his sorro rs, a second was seiz-
ed with the same complaint; and that. too,
began to waste away. The medicines OBJ
Ia med from the doctor, who Lived twenty
five miles distant, were worthless, and both
children were in dying condition. A third
was seized with the fever ague, and become
SO weakened as to be helpless A fourth
fell victim to typhus fever. and every hour
the parents expected to be obliged to per-
form the sad office of hurving their own
children. A fifth, strong lad of sixteen,
while cutting away some small shrubs, had
accidentally cut a severe cash in his leg i
The woun was so painful as to disable him,
and to keep him in company with his sick
brothers and sis,e.s. A sixth. young ma n
of twenty -one, was seized with severe at
tack of bilious cholic. The seventh had
almost forfeited his life, through his own
carelessness, by the discharge of his gun,
that accidentally went off while his hand
res: ed on the mouth of the barrel. His hand
was shattered to a jelly. The father--the
poor, distressed iather-on discoveringsthe
las; sad accident, was so terror-stricken as
to become paralysed. The poor, heart
wounded wife aud faithful mother bore up
like a woman, but she, too, was stricken
down with grief and care.
In this sad situation | found this suffering
family enguIphed IN misery. With prayer
to God to felp me in relieving them from
their misery, commenced the work OF ap-
biying the means of cure. To the children
afflicted with diarrhea, gave ten drops of
Radway's Ready Relief, every fifteen
minstes, and told the mother to give them
,hicened milk as diet. The lever and
ague treated successfully by giving large
doses of the Ready Relief every fifteen
minutes, aud rubbing the ex:remities of the
body. until glow Of heat was obtained.-
The ;yphus fever Welded to the treatme
of the Relief and Regulators, and The
wound in the young mans leg healed BY
applying the Relief.
Every one OF the family we're restored TO
perfect health in six days, time, by the Sc
of these remedies. The great fault of these
people was in not providing themself with
these remedies. Had Railways Ready
Relief been used, and dose or two of The
Regulators taken, on the first appearance
OF either of these e--complaint>, mot six hours
sickness would have foIl"wed their use
So with the accident of the axe and gun
shot wounds. The Really Relief, applied
alter the shot were taken out, healed the
wound and aiayed in1ammari'n. never
in nv lie witnessed such JOY and gladness
such thankiulness, as IN the family of
William Edwards.
