A Locomotive Engineers Iugtinct-How
Ho Saved A Train and How He
Saved Himself

On one Of the darkest and stormiest
nights Of the recent unusual winter, the eN.
dresa on one Of the leading New York rail.
roada was moving westward from Albany.
Theengine's headlight threw a strong refec-
tion in advance, but the storm was so blind
ing IL was almost impossible TO distinguish
anything even at a short distance. Under
such circumstances instinct necessarily
takes the place of sight. All seemed to be
going well, when, i'm an instant, the engi-
neer reversed his engine, applied the air
brakes, and came to a full stop. Why he
did so ho could not tell any more than any
of us can account for the dread Of coming
disaster and death, and TO the wondering
inquiry of his fireman he simply said: 81
feel that something's wrong" Selling a
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward to Investigate. EY-
erylhing appeared to be right, and he was
about to return to his engine when his eye
caught sight Of a peculiar appearance at
the joint of the rail next TO him. Brush
ing the accumulated snow away, he looked
a moment, and then uttered an eXclama-
tion of horror The rails on both sides had
been unspized and would have turned over
the instant the engine touched them. What
inspired this attempt at train-wreCking is
unknown, but it was presumed the conted'
crates of some prisoners who were on the
train hoped, i'm the confusion Of an acci-
dent, to deliver their friends.
Engineer John DOnohOe, Of Albany to
whose wonderful instinct was due the sal
walton of the train, when asked by the
writer why he stopped his engine, said:
can't tell why. ] only know lJeH
something was wrong"
tt Do YOU have these feelings often when
upon the roadw continued the writer
"No, very seldom, although for the past
twenty years i have been in a condition TO
Ff,f1 or l1aF "a g. "a
How is thatH
"Why, have been a victim of one of
the worst cases of dyspepsia ever known.
/ have not been confined to my bed, as like
thousands Of others, / am compelled to
work whether able or not. Indeed when
it first began / had only a loss of appetite,
q faint feeling that would not 60 away and
a bad taste in the mouth, but finally got
those terrible craving and gnawing feel
| ings that make life so unbearable and are
! known as general debility"
"What did you doT
IL tried physicians until I became dis
| couraged. Igave eight different ones fan
| tests, but none of them benefited me.
| then tried proprietary medicines, but they
| failed, likewise. 1t looked pretty dark fol-
me so far as any more peace or enjoyment
/ in this world we're concerned and became
! terribly discouraged"
You certainly do not look that way
now"
"Oh, no, indeed, I am in perfect health
now" was the reply land l propose Il
| continue so. My nervousness is entirely
gone; can sleep nights; the aching numb
ness has disappeared; the pale, sickly ap
pearance has given place to the color o
health, and 1 have readily put on flesh
! This is what has been accomplished b,
means of Warmers TppecanOe. If cal
! be curei after a chronic illness Of neRrl,
a quarter Of a century 1 believe all suffer
ing in a similar manner can be restored b.
| using the same great remedy"
Such is the testimony Of a man VIII
could detect and remove unseen danger o
! the road but could not remove the danger
from within his own system until brough
face to face with the great preparato
above-named which did so much for him an
