Can the Truth Overtake Lie?

Investigation discloses the fact that the
lady reported in the Associated Press
dispatches, about Aug. 10th, to have died
in Chicago after two weeks use of some
reputed remedy for corpulency, had not
taken Allans Anti-Fat, but had used a
preparation put up by regular physician
in Luzerne, Pa. Allan's Anti Fat is man
ufactured in Buffalo, N. Y, by the un-
dersigned. We have already sold over
100000 bottles of it. 1t has therefore
been taken by thousands, and we chal-
lenge proof that it has ever harmed any
body, unless the reduction OF obese per-
sons from 20 to 60 pounds, leaving them
healthy and strong, is considefed mis-
fortune. Furthermore, we hereby offer
S., 900 reward for evidence showing that
it contains poisonous or injurious ingre
dients We also offer S., 900 if we cannot
prove that it has reduced numbers Of
persons as stated herein, and always
without injury. 1t is said lie will out
travel the truth any time: but we trust
that those newspapers that have misled
the public by saying that physicians at
tributed the lady's death to the use of
Anti-Fat (Which is only put up by US, the
term "Anti-Fat" being our trademark },
will correct the false impression they
have conveyed, by publishing this refuta-

Death by Drowning.

Joshua c. Simmons, formerly of Jack
son county, o., and late of Ottomwa,
Iowa, was drowned in the Saline river,
July 9th, 1878. within sight of home
This sad occurrence cast deep gloom
over the entire community as the de-
ceased was known as an upright man, a
good neghbor, and highly respected
citizen. He had been to Ellsworth on
business and had got within a mile of
home on his return and finding the river
very high he concluded to leave the wag-
on and harness on the south side and
take the horses and swim them over, as
he was very anxious to return home on
account of sick child of his. The two
boys or young men with him did all they
could to prevent him from attempting to
cross but to no purpose. He waded into
the river, and one horse broke loose from
him which confused him so that he could
not use proper caution. Being a good
swimmer formerly; yet at this time he
was so bewildered that he clung to the
struggling horse and both were drowned.
The deceased was born in Jackson county,
O., June 18th, 1881, being at his death At
years l month and IA days. Financially,
he left his family in good circumstances,
and well provided for. He leaves a wife
and 5 children, boys and one girl, also
his aged father and mother to mourn his
death His place will not easily be filled
in the community.
May the friends of the widow and or
phans comfort the bereaved family

We notice that w. j. Kirkendall, oil
Dawkins' Mills, Jackson county, has re,
ceived the nomination for Congress in
the 18th District on the Prohibition tick
ct. Mr. Kirkendall was student at the
Citizens Academy in our village many
years ago, and afterwards for some years,
a student at the Ohio University. AS
such Mr.. Kirkendall was noted as being
one of the brightest members of his class
and a young man of indomitable energy
and strict integrity. Although Mr. Kir-
kendall commenced life under rather
discouraging circumstances, he has at
tanned an enviable position in society,
not on ly pecuniarily, but in the respect
that talent and devotion to principle al
ways commands. His old friends here
feel proud of him. The voters of the
18th District will honor themselves, by
voting for their prohibition candidate for
Congress, position he is so eminently
qualified to fill.-[Albany Echo.

Fat People Made Lean.

Physicians and Psychologists have long
scratched their heads" and burned the
midnight OIL seeking to devise some
means whereby excessive corpulency
might be either prevented or controlled.
Until recently all theories" special di-
rections,' and remedies have failed.
But at last the problem is solved. AL
lan's Anti-Fat will surely and positively
reduce flesh at from three to six pounds
per week. No medicine or combination
of medicines has ever been discovered
that would produce such wonderful re
suits, and at the same time improve the
general health. Sold by druggists.
