Diphtheria.

The latest and most successful treatment
for this dreaded disease has lately come
to our knowledge, and having interviewed
the man who says his life was saved by
the new treatment we feel confident it IS
our duty to give the facts to our readers
that they may investigate for themselves.
The circumstances are as follows: Amede
Charter, of West Farnham,P. O., recently
had diphtheria; he became so bad off after
a relapse that all hopes of his recovery
was abandoned by his physicians and
friends. and as last resort a brother of
the patient said that he had bottle of
Kcndall's Spawn Cure and wished to try
it. He applied it to the neck, and then
reduced little and the patient after some
difficulty succeeded in gargling it IN the
throat. He soon noticed some improve
ment, and by continuing its use CON-
plete cure was effected, and now he says
he knows 1t saved his life. The above
remarkable experience led US 10 lnvesti-
gate farther, and we found that Kendall's
SPAWN Cure has the most remarkable
effect on human flesh Of any remedy of
which we have ever heard, and we have
become soundlylconverted to the opinion
that no remedy has ever been discovered
which possesses such remarkable quail
ties for the diseases OF man as we'll as
beast Every one should cut this on, and
paste into q scrap. book.-7inaes.

A Baptist Minister's Experience

slon, 40 years ago. I was for many years
q sufferer from quinsy; "Thomas' Eclec-

with hoarseness, and Thomas Eclectric
Oil always relieved me. My wife aud
child had diphtheria, and Thomas &C.
lectric Oil cured them," and if taken in
time 1t will cure seven times out of ten.
l am confident it Is cure for the most
obstinate cold or cough, and if any one
will take small teaspoon and half fill it
with the Oil, and then place the end Of
the spoon in one nostrll and draw the oil
out of the spoon into the head by shifting
as hard Is thev can, until the oil falls over
iuto the throat, and practice that twice a
week, don't care how offensive their
head may be, it will clean it out and cure
their catarrh. For deafness and earache
it has done wonders to my certain knowl.
edge. 1t is the only medicine dubbed
patent medicine that have ever felt like
recommending, and am very ANXIOUS to
see it IN every place, fer tell you that l
would not be without 1t in my house for
any consideration. I am now suffering
with pain like rheumatism in my right
limb, and nothing relieves me like Thorn.
