He saved A Train and How He
saved Himself

On n Of the darkest and stormiest
nights Of therecent unusual winter 1.-The e
press on one of tine leading New York rail-
roads was moving westward from Albany.
The eLgine's headlight threw astrong refec.
ton in advance, but the storm was SO blind.
ing it was almost impossible TO distinguish
anything even at q short distance. Under
such circumstances instinct necessarily
takes the place OF sight All seemed To lie
going well, when, III an instant, the engl-
neer reversed his engine, APPLIED the air
brakes, and came TO u tull stop. Why he
did SO ne 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: -
feel hat something's wrong" Sizing q
lantern he swung himself down from the
cab and went forward 20 investigate. Ev-
erything appeared to be right, and ne was
about 10 retur n to MS engine when his eye
caught sight of q peculiar appearance at
the Joint OF the rail neXt to lin. Brush
ing the accumulated snow away, he looked
a moment, and then uttered An exclama-
ton OF horror. TIT rails on both sides had
been unspiked and would have turned over
the instant the engine touched them. WHAT
inspired this attempt at train wTecking is
unknown, but it was presumed the confed-
crates OF some prisoners who we're on the
train hoped, In the confusion OF an accI-
dent, 10 deliver their friends.
Engineer John Donohoe, of Albany, to
whose wonderful instinct was due the sal
walton of the train, wien asked by the
writer why he stopped his engine, SAID:
81 can't tell why. l only know l felt
something was wrong"
do you have these feelings often when
upon the road"' continued the writer.
mo, very seldom, although for the past
twenty years l have been Ill u condition to
feel apprehension at almost ANYTHING"
"How Is thetEo
"NLy, / nave been q victim of one of
the worst cases Of dyspepsia ever known.
/ have not been confined to my led, as like
thousands OF others, l am compelled to
work whether able or not Indeed, when
il first tes an i had only d loss of appetite,
q faint feeling that would not go away and
a bad taste i'll the mouth, but 1 finally GOT
those terrible craving and gnawIng fee.-
ings that make life SO unUearsDle aud are
known as general debility"
Nv hat did you do"
II tried physicians until / became dis
coura1ed. gave eight different ones fair
tests, but none OF them benefited me.
tnen tried proprietary medicines, but they
failed, likewise. l. looked pretty dark for
me SO far as any more peace or enjoyment
III tuls world were concerned anu / became
terribly discouraged"
You certainly do not look that way
now"
"Oh, no, indeed, l am in perfect health
now" was the reply "and i propose to
continue so. My nervousness is entirely
gone; l can sleep nights; the aching numD-
ness has dIsappeaI ed: the pale, sickIy ap-
pearance has given place 10 the color OF
health, and 1 have readily put on flesh.
TINS is what has been accomplished 10y
means of Warmers Tipptcanoe. If l can
be cure | after O chronic illness OF nearly
a quarter of a century l believe ali suffer
ing in a similar manner can be restored by
using the SAM great remedy"
Such is the testimony OF a man who
detect and remove unseen danger on
tn. road but could ho; remove the dan, ers
from within MS own system vi Il brought
face to face with the great p. epa. a-.on
above-named which did 30 much or nm AMI
can 10 as much for al those WHO require IL.
