but the strangest bequest yet coming
| under our notice is that Of Il lady by the name
of Buckland, living in Winopa Minnesota, who
is supposed to have been in some way related
TO doctor of the same name who died score
of years ago in Connecticut.
1t seems that the doctor, who was paralyzed,
after having been given up by the physician in
attendance, succeeded in maturing a formula of
his own, with which he cured himself of paraly-
sis. The use and fame of this nervine spread
slowly throughout the country, and bottle Of it
came into the hands of the late Mrs auckland,
Of Winona who, having granchild that had
been paralyzed from birth, conceived the idea of
trying it upon her. being impressed as much,
perhaps, by the similarity of names between
herself and that of the inventor Of the remedy,
as from any other cause
The surprising feature of the matter is that
the girl, who was then a baby of fifteen months,
was completely cured of her paralysis and is to-
day the healthy and blooming wife of a promi
nent merchant in Duluth, Minnesota So mon
strous became the, faith of the old lady in the
virtues of this nerSne that, calling her lawyer
she made a will by which she left the sun, of
nearly half million dollars to the proprietors
of this remedy with the proyso that every
penny of it should DO spent for the purpose Of
acquainting the people OF the United States
with its virtues.
The numerous and brilliant advertisements
that have recently been appearing through the
large newspapers of this country, are all the re
suit, from a pecuniary point Of view, of the
magnaninity of this lady There can be no ques-
ton but that this remedy, Dr. Buckland's
Scotch Oats Essence, is the greatest known
general tonic and special nerve and brain invig-
GRANT. The names of those whom IL has cured
of both grave and simple nervous troubles is
| legion, and it has special advantage of being
wholly and absolutely free from narcotics, and
| purely vegetable.
The munihcent sum placed at the disposal of
| the Scotch Oats Essence Co., by the late Mrs.
| auckland, has enabled them to secure the ser
vices of some of the finest chemists Germany
has ever produced, distilling and extracint APP
| paratus Of pecnhar intricaoy and vahe nnd to
thus make an extract or Essence of Oats that
| cantains every particle of active medicinal vir-
| tue in the grain.
1t is a curious fact in this connection that ex-
periments recently Conducted in the School OF
| Physiology, in Paris, France, have demonstrated
beyond peradventure that the Kernel of the oat
| contains three medicinal principles, the first of
which acts to calm soothe and tone up the brain
and nerves; the second yielding phosphorus to
weakened and hungry nerve Tissues, and the
| third residing in the husI< of the oat or oatmeal
to act as a laxative and anti-congestive on the
| stomach liver and bowels
