HIS LOSS WAS HER GAIN.

swell, madam" said fashionable
physician to a wealthy lady patient,
"if you don't like my prescriptions, per-
haps you had better try Parker's Ton
ic, or some other quack stuff" "You
don't mean it, DOCTOR" she answered,
"but your advice may be good for all
that. Sometimes what yeu call quack
stuff is the best and most scientific
medicine, after all" She got a bottle
of Parker's Tonic and it cured her of
neuralgia arising from disordered
stomach and nerves. She told her
friends and now they all keep doctor
at home in the form of Parker's Tonic.

ARISEN FROM THE DEAD.

Thirty-four years ago Mr..
Thompson, now living near Moran,
parted from his brother William who
removed from their native state of In.
diana to Iowa. When the war broke
out both brothers entered the army
neither knowing about the others en-
listment. Mr.. G. r. Thompson was
with Sherman and on the return from
the Atlanta campaign he received let
tiers saying that his brother had been
killed before Vicksburg. After the
close of the war he met a friend who
informed him that his brothers. wife
was also dead. Soon after coming to
this county, five years ago, he was fur
ther informed that another brother.
Thomas, whom he had lost trace of
since the war, had died sixteen years
before. Some months ago, Mr.. AL
len. who had been a neighbor of his
near Moran, removed to Chautauqua
county where he became acquainted
with Mr.. Thomas Thompson who re-
sembled his old neighbor so much that
he asked him if he did not have a
brother in Allen county. He replied
that he had not to his knowledge. Mr..
Allen was still so impressed with the
resemblance that he mentioned it
again, and finally letter of inquiry
was addressed to Mr.. G. R. Thompson
at Moran. The latter was convinced
from this letter that his brothers were
still among the living, and as soon as
he was able to travel, after the severe
accident that occurred to him several
weeks ago, he started for Chautauqua
comfy. At Grenola, where he was to
leave the railroad to make the rest Of
the journey by stage, he was met by
his brother William, who was just
starting for Moran. For more than
twenty years each of the brothers had
thought that the other was dead, aud
it can well be imagined that to each of
them the meeting was little less mir
acle than if the grave had opened.
From Grenola they returned to Will
liam's home, where they were met by
his wife and by the other brother,
Thomas. After remaining there few
days, q. r. and his brother William
started for the formers home in this
county, and on Tuesday We met them
as they stopped over here between
trains. We never remember to have
seen two happier men than they were.
1t seemed as though they couldn't bear
to be separated for a moment. They
forgot their grey hairs and were gay
as school boys. And they certainly
had right to be gay. After being
