Hope for the Discouraged
How many there are who have
suffered from nervous affections,
who have tried every means for re-
lief, who have sought physicians'
aid in vain ! These can take new
hope and fresh courage. After
DOCTORS decoctions comes a pleas
ant relief in DR.. Henley's new
preparation, the combination OF
Celery, Beef and Iron. These are
the great strengtheners. Celery is
one Of the great nervines Of the
world, Beef supplies muscle, and
Iron il one of the principal con-
stituents of the blood, which gives
the red corpuscles their color.
These three combined make q trio
which nothing can equal. The
bloom of youth, evinced by the
rosy check of restored health, is
due to the iron; the solid flesh
which enables ono TO stand fatigue
is due to the Beef; and the Celery
supplies the nervous strength. DIR.
Henley's preparation consolidatcs
the extracts of each of these, and
its marvellous effects are seen every
day, and testified to not only by
patients, but by their physicians.

AN INJURED RUNAWAY.
A News Item with u Moral-Ro-
sier Rueker Hutton
Badly Hurt.

Rozier Rocker Hutton, aged six.
teen and small for his years, jump.
ed from u moving Wabash train
just east of the city at 10 o'clock
"Wednesday, sustaining serious
injuries. He struck a pile of ties
when he jumped and received
painful bruises about the head and
on the right side. Though badly
hurt it is thought that he viii re-
cover.
Young Hutton left his home,
four miles south of Sturgeon, yes
terday to join the army of runaway
youngsters. He walked to this
city and this morning, upon advice
of some boys at the Union Depot,
boarded an east bound Wabash
freight, intending to steal a ride to
st. Louis. The injured boy lay on
a cot IN the baggage room at the
depot, where a reporter for the
LEDGER visited him this morning.
He was fully conscious and told
the following story, which was in
termingled with groans and sobs /;
"My home is four miles north of
Sturgeon, where my parents live.
I. w. Hutton is my fathers name
and he treated me like a dog. /
always worked hard but he would
get me no clothes nor allow me to
leave the place. Every stitch /
own is on my back. He is well
able to dress me right but he did
not do it. ] worked all the time
and hadn't Been off the place for a
year when | loft the other day. |
don't want to 10 back home be-
cause it would be the same old
thing over again. 1t was no fault
of mine hat l ran away, but I
couldn't live there"
Young Hutton is a bright look
ing boy, and at the conclusion of
his story, insistedthat he was tel
ling the truth but as the tale Of a
runaway boy it is received with
due allowance.
This is the second case within a
year of runaway boys meeting with
railroad accidents in Mexico, and
many youngsters about town can
learn a lesson if they want to.
