A FRENCH correspondent says: "A
strange and painful event is reported to
have taken place at st. Omer. The other
day an old soldier named Leprctrc, who
had gone mad, made his escape from st.
Louis and threw himself into the river.
He was dragged out and secured without
much trouble by the gendarmes. Cnfor-
tunafely he was permitted to escape a
second time, when he sought refuge on
the roof of n house and obstinately refused
20 come down The mailman demolished
. chimney and flung the bricks at all who
approached him. The fireengine was
brought out against him, but he was not
to be driven from his post by water. An
attempt was made TO take the position by
assault, but the man who had volunteered
TO climb the chimney was soon put hors
de com5at. A strong narcotic was mixed
with the food handed up to the be-
sieged, but il bad no effect on Lepretre,
who kept his post for two days and two
nights. At last, tired of waiting, the au-
thorities of St Omer resorted to the
ultima ratio and actually employed fire.

having been wounded by two Chassepot
bullets and two bullets from q revolver
capitulated and was taken back TO the
hospital"

"For the blood 1. the L,fe.,,

See Deuteronomy xii. D. The blood be-
ing the source from which the system is
built up, and from which we derive our
mental as well physical capabilities, how
important that it should be kept pure! If
it contain vile, fostering poisons, all organic
functions become enfeebled Settling upon
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous.
Hence it behooves all to keep their blood in
a perfectly healthy condition, and more
especially does this apply at this particular
season of the year than at any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of a large proportion of all dis
eases is bad blood. Now, DIR. Pierce does
not wish to place his Golden Medical Discov-
cry in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor does he so recommend it; on
the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases
that he acknowledges it will not cure; but
what he does claim is this: that there is but
one form of blood disease that it will not cure,
and that disease is cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease,
yet he knows it to be the most searching
blood-clcanser yet discovered, and that 1t
will free the blood and system OF all other
blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Medical Discovery is
warranted by him to cure the worst forms OF
Pimplcs and Eruptions; also all Glandular
Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous
and liberated Sores of the Neck, Legs or
other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of
Hip-joint and Spinal Diseases-all of which
belong to Scrofulous diseases.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DISEASE CURED.
W. GROVE STATION, Iowa.
Dr. PIERCE, Buffalo. N. Y:
Dear Str-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually
becoming reduced, and her whole system
rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling
broke on her hip, discharging large quanti
ties, and since that time there are several
openings. Have had five doctors, at an ex-
pense of s12o, who say nothing will do any
good but a surgical operation.
July 10, 1873, he writes thus: My wife has
certainly received a great benefit from the
use Of your Discovery, for she was not able
Ia get off the bed and not expected to
live a week when she commenced using it,
year ago. She has been doing most of her
work for over six months. Has used twenty
bottles, and still using it. Her recovery is
considered as almost a miracle, and we attrib-
ute it all to the use of your valuable medi-
cine. / can cheerfully recommend it as
blood purifier and strength restorer.
