DRAFTED his sist birthday I'm February last.
IN his life time he has had more than his
share Of the worlds miseries from sick
ness. IL has only been recently that he
has felt well for oven day since he WAS a
child; Mother can tell you better than
myself how | have suffered these many
years" said Mr.. Moore, turning to hia
mother, who had ushered the reporter
Into the coy parlor of their home. Mrs.
Moore told the story of her sons life suf-
lferlngs This is what she said:
my sou has always been delicate from
childhood. Physicians have attended him
but could do him no good; several could
not tell what allied him. others treated him
for disease of the kidneys and liver, but
under their care he got no better; he has
also tried all kinds of patent medicines
without receiving any relief from that
source. And IL has cost a small fortune
for medicines and medical treatment. He
was all the time complaining of awful
headaches, dizziness in the head and WAS
CONSTANTLY hawking and splitting up mu-
Gus. His nostrils were most of the time
stopped up and 1t was hard for him to
breathe. especially at night. He would

has not had good nights sleep for years;
horrible dreams. He got go bad he had to
give up work several times, us he was un-
Ihble to handle q pen on account of nery-
iousness and dimness of the eyes; he also
was troubled with loss of memory and be-
came hard of hearing. He would have
melancholy spells and sit for hours in
Study. He Stunned all company and
would hardly notice or give n civil answer
ITO any one in the family. His strange ac-
lttons alarmed me and have cried many a
thine over my boys sad condition, as felt
sure be was losing his mind. II is now
three monthsngo since he began treatment
lundor Drs. McCoy and Wildnan. who pro-
lnounced his terrible disease catarrh of the
head, throat and stomach of the worst
KIND. but in the short time he has been
under their care they have brought about
IN wonderful change in him."

for what they have don for me.
Everybody In the neighborhood speaks
OF tho great change In him." concluded
Mrs. Moore and honestly believe had
he not gone to Drs. Mccoy and Wndman
for treatment he would have gone insane
or died.
Ora. Mccoy and Wildmnn furnish all
medicines free and their charges for
Treatment are so low that they are with
