A THRILLING EPISODE.
A Locomotive Engineers JDstinct-Hsv
He Saved A Train and. How He
Saved Himself

On one of the darkest and stormiest
nights of the recent unusual winter, the ex-
dress on one of the leading New York rail-
roads was moving westward from Albany
The eng ines headlight threw a strong retiec-
ton in advance, hut the STORM was SO blind
ing it was almost impossible to distinguish
any hing even ut q short distance. Under
such circumstances INSTINCT necessarily
takes the place OF sight. All seemed to be
going well, when, i'll an instant, the engi-
neer reversed his engine, applied the ar
brakes, and came to full stop. why ne
did so he 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: II
feel that something's WRONG" Selzing
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward 10 investigate. Ev-
eIything appe AIRED 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 t9 him. Brush
ing the accumulated Snow away, he looked
q moment, and then uttered an exclama-
ton of horror. TIE rails oE both sides had
been unspiked and would have turned over
the instant the engine touched them w hat
inspired this attempt at train-wrecklng IS
unknown, but it was presumed the confed'
crates of some prisoners WHO were on the
dent, to deliver their friends.
Engineer John Gonohoe, of Albany, to
whose wonderful inss.nct was due the sal
walton of the train, wien asked by the
writer why lie stopped his engine, sad:
- can't tell why. i only know Jett
sonnet hing WAS wrong.n
80 Do you have these feelings often when
upon tie road!" continued.the writer.
"No, very seldom, al horgh for the past
twenty years l have been IL condition to
"How is that:n
"Why, have been a victim of one of
the worst cases of dyspepsia ever known.
l have not been confined tC my bed, rs like
thousands of others, / a.n compelled TO
work whether able or not. Indeed, when
1t first lie IAN had only a loss of appetite,
faint feeling that would not go away and
bad taste i'll the mouth, hut finally got
those terrible craving and enawing feel
lngs that make life SO unhearable and are
known as general debility"
~ hat did you do:"
AZ tried physicians unit: 1 became dis
courased. gave eight different ones fair
tests, but none of them benefited me. /
then triei proprietary medicines, but they
failed, likewise. II looke,r pretty dark for
me so far as any more pea.e or enjoyment
in this world were concerIssd and became
now"
"Oh, no, indeed, am in perfect health
now" was the reply "aad propose to
continue SO. My nervousness is entirely
gone; l can sleep nights; the aching numb
ness has disappeared; the pale, sickly APP
pearance has given place Ito the color of
health, and 1 have readily put on flesh.
This is what has been accomplished by
means of Warmers Tipperanoe. If can
be cure after chronic illness of nearly
quarter Of a century l believe all suffer.
ing in a similar manner can be restored by
using the same great remedy"
Such is the testimony of a man who
could detect and remove unseen danger on
tia road but could not remove the dangers
from within his own system until brought
face to face with the great preparation
above-named which did so much for him anil
cando as much for all those WHO require it.
