The Fatal Watch

The late DR.. Mclean sometimes, in
feeling the pulse of his patients, held his
watch in his hand and counted the
pulsations. On one occasion, when do
ing this, his watch stopped suddenly
in his hand, and his patient, contrary to
his expectation, died. He related this to
a party of gentlemen, among whom was
Davy Harris, well-known citizen OF
our county, long time clerk Of our in.
ferior court Not long after, Harris was
taken sick and sent for the doctor.
When the doctor arrived he was great
deal better, and was sitting on the piazza
at siaj. hurts, where he lived. The
doctor felt his pulse and unconsciously
pulled out his watch. Harris, reinem.

that DIN watch out on me. /" The watch
stopped. In forty-eight hours he was 0

owners Of other crafts to run into and sink her,
by running afoul of her, etc, but they were
not successful, and Fulton succeeded in get

the exclusive franchise for steam traffic on
this river, which met with bitter and long OPP
position from other ambitious contractors.
Fulton built the first ferry boat in 1911, which
piled between this city and Jersey, and in 1915
he got up the plans for the first man of war US
ing steam as motive power, and it was called
"Fulton the Frst," and carried A guns. While
building 1t, however, he had to attend court in
New Jersey, ewing to the litigation growing
out of his franchise for Hudson traffic, and he
caught cold while attending to this lawsuit,

men were making, and caught more cold, and
died from the effects on February cath, 1916.
The man of war was finished and launched on
the Fourth OF July following but her inventor
was dead, although the frigate was success.
Fulton had married a Miss Harriet Livingston,
in 1906 and he left her and four children be-
hind him. He died well nigh penniless, al
though he had expended thousands Of dollars
out of his own and his father-in-law's pocket
upon experiments for the United States gov
eminent, and his heirs entered suit against the
government for the same, suing for one hun
dred thousand dollars. After thirty-one years
OF delay they finally recovered seventy-six
thousand dollars from the government Rob

Trinity Church, at the head Of Wall street, in

Very well. In month or two was over on
the Princes yacht at Cowes, and he came and
sat down by me and turned the talk to ladies'

father, Mother, ana Three Sisters Ueaa.
Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes The following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought / could live. My work (ship-
smithing) was very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my lie. Because it was o.
difficult to get it in this little place, and I
had improved SO much, stopped taking II
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and / must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of tho almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhGa, dyspepsia, indigestion, Kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
stes the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
physician; standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishlers Herb Bitters. Mishlers Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price $l.00
