The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-01-28

The Peru Cal points with pride to the tele-
phone in the telegraph Office in that burg, as
one of the results of the hustlers in its Board
of Trade. Carl has probably been troubled
with indigestion of late, for if he hadn't he
would not allow himself to go down through
the ages as a colossal liar. Surely Sinniger
isn't so unsophisticated as to imagine for a
moment that the Western Union pays out its
cash for fun, or boards of trade either.

ONE LIVED, THEOrHER DIED

woman, formerly our slave is now our
cook. About eighteen me nths ago she be-
came sickly and had cough and was con
fined to bed, and it was thought that she
had consumption. The treatment by ply
sicians failed to give relief. In December,
1854, node or knot the size of goose egg
formed just above the pit OF the stomach,
which when lanced discharged matter for s
or months One of these also formed I'M
der her arm, and three on her back, which
discharged matter for long time. For six
months of this time she was confined to the
house and most of the time in bed, The
stomach often refused food, by rejecting
what sho had eaten. She used great deal
of medicine, but failed to be cured.
bought one bottle of your B. B. B. (made
in Atlanta, Ga.) and gave it to her and
she commenced to improve. then bought
her three bottles more and she commenced
to improve and in two months time her
cough had ceaaed her consumption streng h
ened, appetite and digestion good, ali dis
charges ceased, nodes or knots disappeared
and she went to work apparently healthy
and fettened up greatly.
This woman had married sister of near
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and abont the same time. She
had node OF knot on pit of stomach, back,
etc. She did not take any b. b. b. and :. me

wasted away. and finally died.

Some idea Of the labor involved in

Some idea of the labor involved in
the preparation of the great diction-
airy now in course of publication by
Macmillan & Co. may be obtained
from the statement that it has been
quarter of century since the
work was commenced, and that its
progress has been uninterrupted.
More than million quotations will
be embraced in the work which is to
be completed in twenty-four parts,
three of which have been printed on
the famous Clarendon press. There
are ] 300 persons, under the super
intendence of the London Philolog-
ical Society, engaged in selecting
quotations to illustrate the geneal-
ogy of words. In the three parts
published upward of $4,000 words
have been treated. The fact that
the word "bozzom' is the last one
treated is enough to Indicate the
enormous bulk Of this great work
as a whole.

happily demonstrates. He not on

him well during his senatorship-
1868. Houston was known to
be intensely fond of amusements,
but no friends could induce him to
attend the theater, circus or pub
lie ball. Being rallied on his
''Puritanism' by Mr.. Clay, the old
hero of San Jacinto quietly replied:
Il am not personally of opinion
that there is anything wrong in
those recreations, but my wife is a
deeply religious woman; she is
most strenuously opposed to the
theater, etc, and though she has
never even limited that she would
rather l avoid such places, yet,

foregoing so momentary a pleasure
but a small cross for me to bear, to
insure her more perfect happiness"
