Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1876-03-03

We are called to independence by Dr..
Reynolds to act on commission to try
Judge Toman, of the Bu yetSp on his SAN
ity. We have been fearful of this sort of
thing happening the Judge, seeing symp-
toms not favorable in some articles he re-
Gently published. It's a sad case-but we
shall try and have DR.. Reynolds grant
him the very best accommodations posi-
BILE. We shal! never go back on friend
in sore distress.
The writer of the above, Mr.. Al. Swain,
of the Fort Dodge III sseag r, arrived in
this city by the afternoon train yesterday,
and was the same evening taken to the
Insane Hospital, where he is at the present
writing. AS is usual with parties similar
ly afflicted, his halluclnation about being
called to act in a commission to test the
sanity of the editor of the BULLETIN was
taken advantage of to induce him to come
quietly, and we are pleased to learn with
entire success He did not kick the win
dows out of hacks, knock down the dri
vers, stevr in door panels, or anything of
the sort, so far as we can ascertain, and
during the trip showed no signs of
any mental alteration. He was &C
companied to the Hospital by his
faithful wife, whose solicitudc for his com
fort will doubtless meet with ready sym
pathy and kindly consideration on the
part Of Dr.. Reynolds and the attendants
of the institution.

DEAR SR:-For the benefit of those
who may be afflicted as we have been with
coughs and colds, wish to add to your
list of testimonials my e, lience with
Hale's Cough Cordial Three of my fam
lily were sick at one time, one baby with
Group, and two were suffering with dis
tressing coughs. Your advertisement
made such II fair proposition that we de-
cided to test it. The first dose worked so
like a charm that our faith in the remedy
was at once established; and we had given
but a few doses when to our great sur
prise the children were all pronounced
cured. 1t is very pleasant TO take, and
you can rely upon it that we all swear by
Hale's Cough Cordial. Yours, &c.
