Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, BrOn.
chitis, Consumption-A Wonderful
Cure.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. 18th, 1874.
r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo. n. Y:
Dear SRI had suffered from Catarrh in
an aggravated form for about twelve years
and for several years from Bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things with no last
ing benefit. In May, RI becoming nearly
worn out with excessive Editorial labors on
a paper in New York City, was attacked
with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering
almost q total loss of voice. ] returned
home here, but had been home only two
weeks when I was completely Frustrated
with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, hdvt0g four
severe bleeding spells wifhin TOO peeks, and first
three inside Of nine days. In the September
following, ! improved sufficiently to be able
to be about, though in a very feeble state.
NV Bronchial trouble remained, and the
Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Ev-
cry effort for relief seemed fruitless. !
seemed to be losing ground daily.
continued in this feeble state, raising blood
almost daily until about the first of March,
'73, when | became so bad as to be entirely
confined to the house, A friend suggested
your remedies But was extremely 5kepti-
cal that they would do me good, as had lost
all heart In remedies, and began to look
upon medicine and doctors with disgust.
However, obtained one of your circulars,
and read it carefully, from which | came 10
the conclusion that you understood your
business, at least. finally obtained aquan-
tty OF DIR. sage's Cafarrh Remedy, your
Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and
commenced their vigorous use according to
directions. To my surprise, soon began to
improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in
short time, brought out severe eruption,
which continued for several weeks. felt
much better, my appetite tmprored, and
gained In strength and flesh. In three
months every vcstige of the Catarrh was
gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared,
had no Cough whatever and had entirely
ceased 10 raise blood; and contrary to the
expectation Of some Of my friends, the cure
has remained permanent ] have had no
more Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am
entirely free from Catarrh, from which had
suffered SO much and SO long. The debt OF
gratitude / owe for the blessing ] have re-
ceiyed Ut your hands, knows no bounds. 1
am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience,
that your medicines will master the worst
forms OF that odious disease Catarrh, AS weli
as Throat and Lung Diseases. Ihaye recon-
mended them 70 very many and shall ever
speak In their praise. Gratefully yours,

An Old.Time Bear Story.

The Bennington Banner reprints from
an old paper a communication from that
town dated Dec. %, f717, which quantity
tells this story: A very odd kind Of a
providence happened lately in our neigh
borhood, viz: Mr.. Zebulon, a farmer
living about five miles northeast by north
ofthis township, having trained up couple
oflarge bears to the pillow and other services,
clapped them before his sled last week
with twenty schipples of wheat for the
new city. The animals drew extremely
well for four miles and half, when, the
halter of the near bear giving way, the
farmer set about replacing it; but, while
he was thus employed, the brute, Selling
him by the right leg, tore it miserably,
and, both bears hauling at once, ran away
with the sled, so that it was with the Ut
most difficulty he got home in four hours
on foot Messengers were dispatched to
look for the sled and cargo, and two days
being spent in fruitless search, they were
given up for lost; but on the third, at
noon, the noise of team near the house
was heard, and young Cad. Stanhope
jumped up TO see who was coming, when,
behold! to his great establishment, it
proved to be the two bears drawing the
sled into the barn, with no earthly thing
in it except four large bears and three
cubs The lad and two men that happened
to be then in the house, ran nimbly, and,
shutting the barn door, with my long gun
| shot them all through crevice."
