A THRILLING EPISODE

A OcomatiVe Engineers InstInet-IJuyv he saved A IT ln 9nd How he Saved IIimself.
 On one of the darkest and stormiest nights of the recent unusual winter, the express of ono of the leading New York railroads was moving westward from Albany. The engines headlight threw strong reflection in advance, bat the storm was so blindng it was almost impossible to distinguish anything even at a short distance. Under such circumstances in stinct necessarily takes the place of sight. All seemed to bc going well, when, in an instant, the engineer reversed his engine, up- piled the mir brakes, and came to a full stop Why he did so he could not tell any more than any of us can account for the dread of com ing disaster and death, and to the wondering inquiry of his fireman, he simply said; "l Feel that something's wrong Seizing a lantern he swung himself down from the cab and went forward to investigate Everything 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 Brushing the accumulated snow away, he looked moment, and then uttered an exclamation of horror The rails on both sides had been unspikod and would have turned over the instant the engine touched them. What inspired this attempt at tra1n-wreclSing is unknown, but it was pre- sumed the contederates of some prisoners who were on the train hoped, in the confusion of an accident, to deliver their friends.
 Engineer John Donohoe, of Albany, to
 
 tion of the train, when asked by the writer why he stopped his engine, said:
 d, ,'l can't tell why. only know l felt some thing was wrong.h
 Do you have these feelings often when upon the roadp continued the writer.
 ''No, very seldom, although for the past twenty years l have been in condition to feel apprehension at almost anything"
 'How is thatf
 "Why, have been victim of one of the sNrsaN F.NN@a not been confined to my bed as like thousands of others, am compelled to work whether able or not Indeed when 1t first began l had only loss of appetite, faint feeling that would not go away and bad taste in the mouth, but finally got those terrible craving and gnawingsfeelings that mako life so un. bearnhle and are known as general debility. n
 What did you dor
 ''l tried physicians until I became discour- aged. l gave eight different ones fair tests but none of them benefited me. l then tried proprietary medicines, but they failed, like. wise It looked pretty dark for me SO far as any more peace or enjoyment in this world were concerned and became terribly discour aged"
 You certainly do not look that way now 3 "Oh, mo- indeed, am in perfect health now, ' was the reply, "and l propose to continue SO My nervo1sness is entirely gone; can sleer nights; the aching numbness has disappeared the pale, siclIly appearance has given place to the color of health, and have readily put on flesh. This is what has been accomplished hv means Of Warmers 1ippecanoe. If can be cured after a chronic illness of nearly a ouars ter of a century I believe all suffering in a similar manner can be restored by using the same great remedyn
 Such is the testimony of a man who could | detect and remove unseen danger on the road but could not remove the dangers from within his own system until brought fnce to face with the great preparation above-named which did So much for him and can do as much for all those who require it
