of not much more than a water tank and tool
house, and there was no one to interfere
with the robbers work. Having placed
the engineer and fireman hors de combat
the robbers proceeded to the mail car,

threats. and the safe emptied of its treas
ures, valued at several thousand dollars.

or fastened the breaking up Of the constitution
than Catarrh, The sense Of taste, of smell, OF
sight, of hearing. the human voice, the mind
one or more, and sometimes all, yield to its de-
structiye influence. The poison it distributes
throughout the system attacks every vital force,
and breaks up the most robust of constitutions.
Ignored. because but little understood, by most
physicians, impotently assailed by quacks and
charlatans, those suffering from 1t have little
hope to be relieved of it this side Of the grave.
1t is time, then, that the popular treatment OF
this terrible disease by remedies within the reach
of all passed into hands at once competent and
trustworthy. The new and hitherto untried
method adopted by DIT. Sanford in the prepara-
ton of his RADICAL CURE has won the hearty
approval of thousands. 1t is instantaneous IN
affording relief in all head colds, sneezing, snuff
fling and INSTRUCTED breathing, and rapidly re-
moves the most oppressive symptoms, clearing
the head. sweetening the breath, restoring the
senses of smell. taste and hearing, and neutraliz-
ing the constitutional tendency of the disease
towards the lungs. liver and kidneys.
Sanford's Radical Cure consists Of one bottle Of
the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and
one Improved Inhaler, neatly wrapped in one
package, with full directions; price, 81.
