Gentlemen; For years | have been a great
sufferer. My trouble first started with ter
rible ague chlls and constipations. This left
me in 1878 with a racking cough and fire.
quent bleedings from the lungs Since this
time have been continually doctoring con-
sulting physicians without number. From

The most noted physicians OF our city who
last visited me expressed their opinions in
the brief but hopeless words, "take good
care OF yourself the few days you have to
live, we cannot help you" grew steadily
worse under their treatment. One day,
through reading your Memorandum Book l
learned of the Golden Medical discovery
With but little hope of relief, purchased
bottle and took it. To my surprise and sat

tised. Sincerely yours,

A peculiar case of Tannerism is I'M
earthed. Nothing like it has been
heard of before. Most reputable ply
sicians of Iowa City have examined
the case. Miss Hattie Dent, sister,
in-law of DR.. Aylworth of that city,
who has not eaten morsel for %
days nor has she spoken a word for 3
years. She abstained from food on
the ground that it was her religious
duty to do so, and from talking for the
same reason. Persuasion of friends is
useless, and she is slowly wasting
away. Miss Dent is maiden lady
50 years of age, and has always been
highly respected.

Near the camp of the workmen on
the new toll road, near Yankee Forks,
New, quite a curiosity was recently
found. 1t was mountain rams head
deeply imbedded in pine tree, and
about six feet from the ground. The
right horn is outside, and curls partly
around the tree, while the front of the
skull and most of the left horn is COW
cred with the growth of wood. The
tree is thrifty pine, fifteen inches
through. How that rams head came
there will always be mystery to sci
entists.
