SCOTS SCARE.

Elii.h Scott made things very lively
yesterday, not only for himself, but for all
persons in bis immediate vicinity. He had
a revolver, and with this instrument be
attempted to celebrate all the holidays he
ever heard of. His fun became monoton-
GUS and dangerous. and Scott was accord
ineIy arrested by Marshal Miller, on the
COM plant of DR.. Gordon. Scott was placed
10 the Jail and will soon have hearing on
a charge of insanity. 1t appears that
Scott was sent to the insane asylum at
Jacksonville last year and only returned
from that institution short time ago. An
inquest as TO bis mental condition will be
had 10 very short time, and it is expected
that he will soon return to the asylum.

Januarv 81. 1881.

wish to communicate through
YOUR paper a few facts IN relation TO
the sickness of my wife, and her re-
markable benefit received at the hands
of Mrs. DR.. Keck, thinking that l may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid which
NAV restore them. My wife has been
laborine under chronic affections, in
Guiding catarrh, for II years. and has
been treated for the same most OF that
time, without material benefit. until
she applied at the Office of Mrs. Dr.
Keck. in Peoria, last fall She had not
then spoken loud word for nearly .
months. having lost her voice while
under other treatment. She was thre
atened with paralysis. her entire left
side being very weak and numb, her
nervous system was completely shat~
tered. her lungs in a serious condition
and her health falling rapidly. Her
hands and feet were always cold, so
that it was almost impossible to warm
them. showing poor circulation and
condition of the blood.
About October 1st, 1880, she applied
at the Office of Mrs. DR.. keck, i'll Pc
oria. for advice and treatment, which
she continued, faithfully at home until
the middle of December. She made
sew eraI VISITS 10 mIS. LII. NSCn oAAC
in Peoria in the meantime, to obtain
necessary directions and medicines,
and improved very much. Her voice
was still gone. however, and | had
very little hope that she would ever
recover it, although Mrs. DR.. Keck said
that her remedies were working splen
didly on her system, and that If she
would now accompany her to Daven-
port Infirmary to receive extra treat
nient she would recover her voice and
health. But still doubling, took my
wife to several physicians OF elni-
nence for examination and opinions.
They agreed with Mrs. Keck as to
what the trouble was. Some of them
said there was rcry little hope, while
others said their was none, flor recov-
ery.)
So Mrs. Watson went with Mrs. Keck
and remained at her Infirmary five
weeks. She went under a vigorous,
though pleasant treatment there, and
in two weeks her voice was restored
to its original strength and tone. /
met her at Peoria on her return home,
and heard her speak aloud for the first
time in eight months. Her health is
very much better in every way. There
was great establishment among the
boarders at Mrs Wonders boarding
house. where Mrs. Keck has her Office,
when Mrs. Watson talked aloud like
the the rest, for all had heard her
whisper so long, and did not believe
she could be restored 1t has paid US
well to follow Mrs. Keck's advice, al
though we had very little faith at first.
My Wife's recovery is truly remark
one. If any one doubts the above
they may correspond with me at Glas-
ford, Illinois.
