.'My Daughters Life was Saved


SIN regard 10 my little daughter, whose life
was saved, as we believe, by Hoods Sarsaparllla,
would say that before she was six months old
scrofula sores began to appear on different parts
of her body, and in short time she had running
sores. Two physicians were called but they gave
us no hope. One o, them advised the amputation
of one of her fingers, to which we refused assent.
Our attention was called to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and we began to give 1t to her. A marked i'm
proyement was noticed after she had taken only
one bottle, and by a continued use OF 1t her re-
covery was complete. And she is now, being
seven years old, strong and healthy. The other
members of my family have been greatly beIe-
fitted by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and recommend 1t
as an excellent blood purifier" B. G. JONES,

What might have resulted in a seri-

the Sntthtield street bridge. While the
James q. Blaine was passing under the
bridge, on her way up, her smokestacks
Ame in contact with a platform which
swung from the bottom Of the bridge.
Capt. Cock saw that the boat must strike
the platform. and called 10 the pilot
TO sound the whistle. The men real.
lied their dangerous position, and got
on the platform and caught hold of an
old iron bar which runs from pier to
pier not a moment too soon. as the
mokestack Of the Blaine struck the
obstruction as the last nan stepped of
the platform. One Of the steamers
stacks was broken in two by the force
Of the collision, and the swinging plat
form snapped from its fastenings and
fhll to the water.
The four men remained hanging by
their hands. their only means of rescue
being to let 60 of the stringer and drop
20 the water below, nearly 100 feet.
Several men were attracted. and pushed
out skiffs to rescue them.

time. anil the occupants of the skif
succeeded in cnrching hold Of him and
pulling him into the boat.
The poor fellow became unconscious,
but the rescuers could not give their

During the excitement a large crowd
