If there is any special duty which falls to
the lot of the press, it is TO commend and
indorso that which is discovered to be meri-
torious whether it be concerning persons
or worthy things. A striking illustration
of this duty of commencing the truly valua.
BILE has just come to our notice, and is given
for the benefit of our readers.
Few men in this community have better
reputation for probity and uprightness than
Mr.. J. II. DEMO. He is gentloman whose
word is above question:; who makes no state.
| ment about which he is not certain, aud tho
following account which he recently made to
the writer, will consequently be read with
interest by all under whose eyes it may fall.
He said.
ANYONE who rejoices through feeling of
gratitude is not satisfied to do so alone, but
feels that he must make it known to othors.
This is just the feeling have at the present
timo. l suppose | have had as strange and
horrible experiences as any other man in this
or any community. About three years ago
j began to feel conscious OF most peculiar
sensations; l lost most of my interest in
surrounding things and became Respondent.
could not understand why this was, but sup
posed, at first, that il was an attack Of tho
| blues; but it would not go away and be-
came fretful and irritable. Things that
| formerly pleased me failed to awaken even q
| passing interest. | did not really hate life,
but certainly did not enjoy it. Most Of the
| time felt a terrible sinking sensation, not
| like home-sickness or sea-sckness, but with
the worst features Of both. 1 had no am
biton nor energy, and was fast losing hope.
presume there are hundreds of thousands
who feel at this moment somewhat as L felt
then, and hope they are more successful,
than ] was at first, in overcoming it, Occa-
sionally 1 would feel something like my
| former self for day or two, but then would
| drift back into a worse state than before. |
| had but little appetite, and what food did
take distressed me, and even failed to re-
main upon my stomach Everything about
me seemed nauseating, and at night l would
toss restlessly, t roubled with horrid thoughts,
and when at last 1 did sleep, with frightful
| dreams"
"You may think It strange that endured
all this, but how could help 1t? / consulted
physicians and took various remedies, but my
| troubles kept continuing. Some of the
doctors pronounced my difficulty chronic
dyspepsia, but were puzzled as to the real
cause of my complaint. l am now convinced
it was general debility, and that was fast
on the road to death. Thus matters con.
tinued until / arrived at the point where
many men take to drink as tho only means
that can afford temporary relief. myself
tried certain bitters advertised as specifics for
such difficulties as mine, but | found they
contained large percentage of liquor aud
aggravated my troubles, thus bringing mo, il
such a thing were possible, into u more
serious condition. How it came about l dc
not know, but at last / found myself
taking preparation which was highly
indorsed, but about which | had great
doubts. The truth is 1 had
tried so many things that | had
nearly lost faith in everything. The next
day felt as though change was taking
place within mo, while at night slept quite
we'll. My nerves soon seemed to acquire new
| vigor my food distressed me no longer-it
ceased to tferment and form gases and wa:
easily digested and assimilsted-in fact the
remedy seemed to strengthen and warm my
stomach, and gave me a degree of comfort
which l never expected to realize. This is
what Warmers Tippecsnoe has done for me
and am glad of the opportunity to tell you
of il, for l believe it is able to do for others
what it has accomplished for me-"
Such is the testimony of one of the leadin
men of this state, and the world is filled will
people who are suffering from the same grea
evil that came SO near undermining his life
Mr. Denio felt it duty to reveal the means
that saved him, and it is as clearly the duty
of the press to make this fact known to th'
publiC.
