BLOOD BALM Co: 1t is u great pleasure
To Us to state To You that your b. B. Il.
takes the lead of al blood purifiers In this
country, on account of the cures it has
elected since we have handled it. We had
Il case q! SrroIula III our neighborhOOd, OF
long standing, who had used all patent
medicines which were recommended to
him; besides this, he also had several doe
tors attending him, but everything failed
to effect any good. He grew verse every
day, and had mt left his bed for the last
six months. We had seen him several
times IN our little town, though it has been
more than fifteen months since we last saw
him, and we suppose this was the last time
he was able to come to town, as lie lives
about eight miles in the country. His
name is Scrvcnka, and we got II neiChbor
OF Ills TO persuade him to try b. b. b, and
after using only ONE BOIrLr hr left !i2
bed for the first time in six inu,.!ns.
10 the present time he has used less
than three bottles, and he is walking
around visiting his friends in the neighbar-
hood. He has gained strength and flesh
rapidly. All ScrofuiouS sores are healing
finely, and you never saw a happier man
than ne Is. Nearly everybody for miles
around has heard OF this wonderful cure,
and nj who need n blood remedy call for
the y. Is. b..
We had Il case Of nasal cItarrh in our
" IA family On little girl of four years ODD,
VINO has been using Is. b. b. for about two
weeks, and already seems To be about well
want you to ship us six dozen bottles.
We take pleasure in recommending
Il. b. B. rs a medicine worthy of the entire
confidence 0f the public. lis action is
more rapid than any blood remedy we ever
handled. LlEDTKE BROS.

Saturday and Sunday was SO out
Of the ordinary ran that it may be
classed as news. Sleet began
falling Saturday night and con
tinued Sunday aud Sunday night,
with frequent intervals of snow.
Sunday was q good day to stay in
doors, and the people improved
the opportunity. Three or four
gentlemen ventured ont to church,
bat it was such an undertaking
that their pioty was eubjected to
a very great strain. Monday
morning when the town began to
stir the appearance of things out
OF doors reminded one very much
Of a northern winter scene. The
house tops and ground were
white with SNOW. Early in the
morning snow balling began and
continued almost necessarily uh-
