Mas. Dr. KEcK-Dear Madam: would like the
public to know what you have done for my wife,
that others may go and be benefited by the same
means. At the age Of IL she was q sufferer from
scarlet fever and measles which left her with con-
etitutionaf disease which has afflicted her ever
since, nearly Is years. Some of the many symp-
toms have been aggravated by female troubles,
with severest aching at the top of the head, and
great heat; continual pain in the small of the back
piles for IT years, very bad; dropeical tendency
often bloating badly; and her system was also
very full OF humorous matter. she at one time
had polypus cut out from her nose, and later,
her right cheek, leaving large ecars But by these
not reached. Seeing what you had done for others
my wife began under your direction in January
last. In two weeks time the headaches with which
she had suffered for so many years were gone, and
one months treatment at your Bloomington Office
convinced her and myself that your treatment was
what she needed to reach her case, and ehe accom-
panied you to your 1nfrmary In Davenport Iowa.
During two months in that institution under your
personal care. she was cured OF the piles. her fe
male troubles were entirely relieved, and without
the use Of the knife, there were removed from the
body twelve tumors, including large ovarian In
NOR. She has continued tue treatment OF her eys-
TEN at home under your directions since tnen, and
Experienced constant Improvement and better
heath than in these many years. hope all who
suffered as she did may be led to consult your
treatment. My daughter Oracle, seven years DID,
has also taken the treatment with great beneft Tor
khraak troubles. Myself OF wife would gladly give
auv further inform atton desired.

HOME AND ABROAD.
A COMMENDATORY LETTER
GLAsFoRD. Peoria Co..
January 81, 1881.

I 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 may
in this way influence some suffering
fellow beings to seek the aid winch
NAV restore them. My wife has Deen
laboring 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 SHAFT
tered. her lungs in q serious condition
and her health falling rapidly. Her
hands and feet were always cold, 80
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, in Pc
oria. for advice and treatment, which
she continued faithfully at home until
the middle of December. She made
several visits to Mrs. DR.. Keck's office
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 Infrmary to receive extra treat
ment she would recover her voice and
health. But still doubling, took my
wife to several physicians OF elnl-
nence for examination and opinions.
They agreed with Mrs, Keck as to
what the trouble was. Some of them
said there was gerry 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 vigorous,
though pleasant treatment there, and
in two weeks her voice was restored
to its original strength and tone. /
met her at Peoria on Aer 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 astonishment 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.

At 6 o'clock this morning the ice from
above crowded down and started the whole
find opposite this city. The floating ice
soon choked up the channel and the result
vas that gorge formed directly in fropt
of Rock Island, which continued to irs
crease until about one o'clock this after.
noon, when another movement occurred
the ice in the center of the river moving
down about one block. No over fow is nov
treatened. as it is believed the ice from be-
low will move out in time to allow the
cakes from above to foat down without
any great damage,
a report was circulated to the effect
that the railroad bridge at Milan had been
washed away, and the wagon bridge at the
same point was in great danger. The
actual facts in the case are that small
portion of the bridge was actually moved.
The damage was soon repaired aud the
traips Eere running as usual during the
afternoon.

A most extraordinary incident &C.
Cured early on Thursday morning last,
when Lord Galway's pack of foxhounds
were engaged in cub-hunting. His
lordship, who hunts the pack himself
with the assistance of the kennel hunts
man, Sam Morgan, and two whips, was
sitting on his horse in Hundred Acres
Cover. near Mr.. Foljambe's seat at Os-
berton, whilst the pack were drawing
the wood. His lordship fancied he
heard swarm of bees, but took no no.
tice until he was alarmed to find his
horses launches covered with wasps.
He Immediately galloped off TO try to
oct rid of them. and brushed themaway
with his hands and whip stock, but to
very little purpose, as the horse was SO
badly stung, as was shown by scores OF
swellings, which came up like knots all
over it. that it had to be sent home for
treatment. His lordship escaped with
only three stings on his neck. and.
mounting another horse, theparty killed

The Importance Of a law that would pro-
tect trade marks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well az from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is known to the consumer ana
the buver looks to trade mark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling slyerware Colgates' mark to in. in,
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has
peculiar value of its own which so distln,
puishes it from all others that it has acquired
Very large commercial value. Loriilard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other tn e.
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves day. the trade
can get their orders filled promptly, and the
wear 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
wears in the demand for the famous CHATTER
OAK make. t4-1oj
