and his death occurred two hours later.
Conductor Curtis, Of The freight train, was
on the engine and jumped, saving his life.
Neither train was moving oyer ten miles

driven entirely through the first freight

II. G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT
far heyond anv similar renedu

Mr.. II. G. Farell-Dear Sir; Actuated by sense
of gratefulness, 1 submit the following as an in
stance OF the utility Of your great medicine My
child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours
pTostrated 1t to total helplessness, The limbs be-
came so rigid that not a joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
Of feeling the eyes fixed, partially closed and al
together blind following this was deafness to all
sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved
that when lying its back the head and heels only
touched. Indeed, the child presented every ap-
pearance OF being dead Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician was called in. and for
three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling, but
all In van althouA h 1t was blistered dozen times
and various rubefacient Liniments applied. con-
sultation of physicians was then held, but to no
purpose. the case was then brought before the
Medical Society, but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more. We then
commenced applying your Lnimept freely over the
entire length OF the spine, and you may imagine
parents joy, when. after few applications, re-
turning animation was apparent, and it rapidly re-
covered with the exception of the sight which did
not become perfect for near a month. The child Is
now healthy and robust lie. Five other
cases of the same kind occurred previously in my
neighboorhood all of which died, when there is no
doubt if your Liniment had been used they would
have recovered. HENRY G. CLELAND,
