VIM. E. Lawless, the optician, was
stricken with paralysis and palpitation
of the heart while walking on Broad
way Monday evening. He was con-
veyed to the Walton house, where he
now lies in a critical condition. DR..
Longon is in attendance. It is said
that Mr.. Lawless .has brsoded a great
deal lately over tamilysttoubles. Last
night he got out Of the hotel on pre-
text and got as far as the oil tanks
east Of town before he was caught. 1t
was at this time evident that he was
not in ais right mind. It required
the united strength of six men to
secure him and take him back to his
hotel. Sterling bulletin:
A later report-states that DR.. Law
less has entirely recovered, and is at
tending to his business as usual.
1t is to be regretted that the random
talk of few old grannies of gossip

however, Of such loose tongued indi.
viduals. Even the would-be detec-
tive, Sharp, thought he discovered IN
Aliens store '.joint" and attempted
to procure liquor without signing a
statement as required by law. But
he found he had been misinformed,
and since his object has been disclosed
it is not healthy for him to show his
face in that locality. Mr.. Aliens

landine"; since then my health has
been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat in moderation now food that
two years ago dared not touch. Attn
same time I was afflicted with a disease,
believe, of the skin; for the last flf-
teen years it has been a plague to me.
It invariably made its appearance IN
February and lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until
was compelled to scratch, then little
pimp1e, not as large as pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. have laid many cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til I could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. have not
felt it since taking your valuable "No-

of that plague. write this to show you

Varicose Veins.

To the Nolandiue Combamy..
Permit me to add my testimony to the
curative properties of No1andine.
For many years have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve months ago
struck my leg against chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break out afresh. . At
times I suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and most insuferab1e burning
sensation. After using two (2) bottles
of your vegetable No1andine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
disappeared, natural sleep was restored,
and my nervous system composed.
