He Saved A Train and How He
Saved Himself.

On one Of the darkest and stormiest
nights of therecent unusual winter, the ex-
dress on one OF the leading New York rail-
roads was moving westward from Albany.
The engines headlight threw a strong ref1ec-
ton in advance, but the storm was 50 blind.
ing it was almost impossible to distinguish
anything even at a short distance. Under
such circumstances instinct necessarily
takes the place of sight. An seemed to be
neer reversed his engine, applied the air
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 coming
disaster and death, and to the wondering
INQUIRY Of his fireman he simply said: u
feel that something's wrong.N Selling a
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward to investigate Ev-
eIyahiug appeared to be right, and he was
about to return to his engine when his eye
caught sight of q peculiar appearance ct
the joint of the rail next to him. Brush
ing the accumulated snow away, he looked
a moments and then uttered an exclama-
ton of horror. The rails on both sideshad
been un spiked and would have turned ever
the instant the engine touched them. What
inspired this attempt at train wreckiug is
unknown, but it was presumed the confed-
crates of some prisoners who were on the
train hoped, in the confusion Of an acct.
dent, o deliver their friends.
Engineer John Donohoe, of Albany, to
Walton of the, tlains when asked by the
writer why he stopped his engine, said:
al can't tell why, only know Jets
something was wrong"
- Do YOU have these feelings often when
upon the road?Y continued the writer
g No, very seldom, al, hough for the past
twenty wears have been in a condition to
feel apprehension at almost anything 4
t'.Why, have been a victim of one of
the worst cases Of dyspepsia ever known.
l have not been confined to my bed, as like
| thousands of others, / am compelled 10
work whether able or not. Indeed, when

a faint feeling that would mot go away and
a bad taste in the mouth, Lut finally got
! those terrible craving and gnawing feel
ings that make life SO unbearable and are
known as general debility"
'tWhat did you doi'
g / tried physicians until l became dis
couraged. Igave eight different ones fair
tests, but none Of them benefited me.
then tried proprietary medicines, but they
failed, likewise. It looked pretty dark for
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, y was the reply land / propose to
continue so. My nervousness is entirely
gone; l can Sleep nights; the aching numb-
ness has disappeared; the pale, sickly ap.
pearance has given place to the color Of
health, and have readily put on flesh.
/ This is what has been accomplished by
means of Warmers Tippecanoe. If / can

! a quarter of a century believe all suffers

using the same great remedy"
| Such is the testimony of a man who
! could detect, and remove unseen danger on

! face to face with the great preparation
above-named which did SO much for him an
