The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1884-06-06

On ono Of tho darkest and stormiegt
nights Of ths recent ususual winter, the
express on one Of the leading New York
railroads was moving westward from
Albany. The engme's headlight threw
a strong reflection in advance, but the
storm was 80 binding il was almost
impoAsible 70 distinguish anything even
at a short distance. Under such cir
cumstances instinct necessarily takes
the place of sight. All seemed to be
going we'll, when, in an instant, the en-
gineer reversed bis engine, applied the
air brakes, and csme 20 fall stop.
Why he did so he could not tell any
more than any OF us can account for the
dread Of coming disaster aud death, and
10 tho wondering inquiry of his fireman
he simply said al feel that some :
things wrong" Selling a lantern he
swung himself down from the cab and
went forward TO investigate. Every
thing appeared to be right, and be was
about 70 return 70 his engine when his
ere caught sight Of . peculiar appear
Ascc at the joint of the rail next TO him
Brushing the accumulated snow sway,
he looked n moment, aud then uttered
an exclamation Of horror The rails on
both sides bad been unspiked and would
have turned over the instant tho en-
gine touched them. What inspired
this attempt at train-wrecking is un
koawn. but it was presumed the con
feierstes Of some prisoners who we're
on the train hoped, in the confusion of
an accident, TO deliver thsir frie1d,
Engineer John Donohoe, Of Albany,
to whose wonderful instinct was due
the salvation Of the train, when asked
by the writer why he stopped bis en-
giue, said
IL can't tell why. only know
felt something WAS wrong"
"Do you have these feelings often
when upon the road ~ continued tie
writer.
"No, very seldom, although for the
past twenty years have been in a con-
dition TO feel apprehension at aImos;
anything"
"How is that ?''
"Why, | have been u victim of one
Of the worst cases Of dyspepsia sver
known. have not been confined N
my bed, as like thousands Of others,
am compelled 10 work whether able ol
not. Indeed, when it first began had
only loss of appetite, faint feelinI
that would not go away and bad taste
in tho mouth, but | finally got thss'
terrible craving and knswing feeling
that make life so unbsarAhls and arr
known as general debility"
"Whst did you do ?"
Il tried physicians until / became
discouraged. / gave eight di fferen
ones fair tests, but none Of th.m bens
fited me. | then tried propr etary med
icines, but they failed, likewise. 1
looked pretty dark for me so far as any
moro peace or enjoyment in this worl'
were concerned and | became terribl,
discouraged"
"You certainly do not look that wa,
now."
ooh, no, indeed, L am In perfec
health now,' was the reply "and pro
pose to continue so. My nervousness
is entirely gone can sleep nights
the aching numbness has disappeared
the pale, sickly appearance has giver
place to the color Of health, and | hav,
readily pu: on Assh. This is wha. has
been accomplished by means of War
ner's Tippecanoe. If l can be cure'
after a chronic illness Of nearly quar-
tor of century l believe all cuff rim
in a similar manner can be restored b.
using the same great remedy"
Such is the testimony of man VIII
could detect and remove unseen dan
ger on the road but could not rem ov
the dangs,s from within his own sys
tenn until brought face to face with tn,
great preparation ABOVE named whicl
did so much for him and can do q
much for all those who require it.
