A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE.
A Man c. mes From Alabama to Express
His Gratitude to an Atlaut: Man.


''1s this DR.. Walter Taylor?'
The speaker was an elderly man of
fine appearance, and evidently
stranger in the city. The question
was addressed to DR.. Walter A. Taylor,
who sat in his office immersed in the
correspondence of his immense busi-
ness.
''That is my name. SIR he replied,
looking up inquiringly from his work.
''My name is Austin. I live at Cul-
man, Ala. l have come to see you,
DR.. Taylor. to express to you my
gratitude
DIR. Taylor smiled. and inquired as
to the occasion of his gratitude.
"You have saved my life, sir, and I
come to tell you that, and to shake
your hand. About year ago l was
veloped into very ugly case. Twas
in my bed for nine months, and was
harassed and weakened with
NOuSA tuOG Ndo dlulOSt CUuSLdut.
Nothing would relieve it. l had
physician after physician. and tried
remedy after remedy. / have studied
medicine myself: and now in the jew
elry business. l was almost worn out,
and had about given up my case as
hopeless. One day [ staggered out of
bed to have consultation with all the
physicians, to see if 1 could not, as
last resort, obtain some relief from my
ills. The physicians in consultations
told me that they could do nothing for
me, and, hardly able to walk, made
my way to drug store, and while in
there l spoke of the consultation Just
held on my case to the druggist, and
he said: Here is remedy that I hear
very highly spoken of. know nothing
of it from personal experience, but It
has a good reputation and my custom
ers like it, The remedy handed me
was Taylor Cherokee Remedy of
Sweet Gum and Mullen. 1 took it
with about the same spirit that q
drowning man would catch at
straw. l had little hope of its
efficacy, but l thought l ought to
try everything, and therefore took the
bottle. was barely able to get back
to my bed again. 1t was an effort for
me to walk down stairs. l was dis
spirited, hopeless and weak beyond ex-
preston, and continually growing
weaker. Nth the very first bottle Of
Sweet Gum and Mullen nv condition
improved. 1t has been less than five
weeks since began on your remedy,
and now l walk and travel without the
slightest inconvenience up stairs or
down stairs. My cough has left me,
my health is almost restored, and (
am in good condition. 1t is my earn
est conviction that Taylor's Cherokee
Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullen
saved my life, and felt that wanted
to look you in the face, and take YOU
by the hand and tell you so. l want
to tell it also for the benefit of thous-
ands of others who are suffering, and
who are growing weaker and weaker
from the use of inefficient remedies'''
The above is the exact statement of
this remarkable case. Mr. Austin in
sisted on seeing Mr.. Taylor's labora-
tory, press rooms, packing rooms and
every part Of his immense establish
ment. lie wanted to see where Sweet
Gum and Mujiein was made. He took
the greatest interest in every part of
the process, and having been physi-
clan, was enabled to look at it intelli-
gently and to testify to the correct
curative principles involved in the ma
terials out of which the remedy is
made. and the manner in which it is
compounded. After a half hours
pleasant sight seeing and converse
ton he took his departure, say
ing to DR.. Taylor as he went
out of the door. Il am satisfied now
that have seen the man that saved
my life, for l tell you thai Taylor's
CHEROKEE Remedy Of Sweet Gum and
Mul1tln is what stopped the progress
of my disease. when everything else
had failed. and hope had almost gone
i bis is the te>t:m on,' borne by thous-
ands of Others by letter and otherwise.
but it is seldom that the proprietor of
a medicine: tiLd, man who gets on
the train and rides hundreds of miles
to see him that he may express his APP
probation and gratitude.
