Rescued from Deaths

The following statement of WilliamJ
Coughlin, of Sommerville, Mass, sore
markable that we beg to ask for it the at
tention of our readers He says: tin
the fall OF 1876 l was taken with VIC
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by
severe cough. l soon besan to lose my
appetite and flesh. l was SO weak at one
time that I could not leave my bed. IA
the summer of 1877 was admitted to the
City Hospital While there the doctoB
said l had hole in my left lung as bigsas
a half dollar. I expended over a hun
dred dollars in doctors and medicines.
was so far gone at one time report went
around that I was dead. | gave mp hope,
but friend told me ofDr. Halls Balsam
for the lungs l laughed at my friends
thinking that my case was incurable, but
I got bottle to satisfy them to my sH-
prise and qualification, commenced DO
feel better. My hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day l feel in better spir-
its than l have the past years.

so that every one afflicted with Diseased
Lungs will be induced to take DIR. VIM.

vinced that consumption can be cured. Il

mistaken TGe3atifU.

The numerous weddings last week fur
nish at least one somewhat amusing Incl
dent. A lady living out of town invited
to one Of the marriages sent her dress for
the occasion one train ahead of her own
arrival. 1t came by express and was
packed in box built expressly for it,
the proper length, breadth, &C., of the
garment. The dress being made with
trail, and intended to be transported
without wrinkling, the box necessarily
was required to be quite long, broad and
high, giving it really somewhat the ap-
pearance of an outside burial case. When
the box was being unloaded in front of
the hotel the landlord could not call to
mind just for the moment which of his
friends had lately died, nor the particular
one of his patrons that would be likely to
make dying request that the last sad rites
over his remains should be held at his IA
vorite hostelry. The box was laid away
quietly on the sidewalk and the express
wagon drove off on it's errand of delivery
farther up street. From the windows peer
ing eyes glanced at that box with itsfreight
of fashion and once in while venture
was made to open the door and look
squarely at the CHASTITY object, but there
was no one bold enough to approach it,
meanwhile all sorts Of deathly imaginings
coming up in the minds and noses of the
beholders. When the express man came
back to get the signature and collect the
expressage the mystery was cleared up
and it was great relief to all about the
house to discover that the terrible box
contained nothing whatever pertaining to
funeral.
