one of the Owen Electric BeltS. For several
weeks / doubted his statements about what he
told me of the wonderful healing properties OF
it. but he was so earnest and persistent thatl
finally consented TO send for one. He advised
me to send for a No. 4, with spinal appliance.
which ! did, at a cost Of 5000, which Is your
price for No. 1 and spinal appliance. I will say
here that IL is the best 5000 investment that
ever made in my life in the way OF doctors
remedies or anything else. as l had spent dol
lars, up into the hundreds, but could get no
relief whatever. As soon as ! received the Belt
and Appliance. | had 1t charged and adjusted
and pnt it on. and in a short time after putting
it on l began to feel wonderful soothing and
gentle currents of its healing power passing all
through me. clear to the end OF my toes and
fingers, a prickling sensation like thousands OF
needles. Many were the sieepless nights l had
passed, unable to sleep but from one to two
hours through the whole night for months, On
the third night after wearing the Belt l slept
until morning and awoke greatly refreshed. l
was not disturbed, nor had l to void my urine
once through the night, and ! have not been
upon the system have ceased. and constipation
and piles all haye left me as II by magic. MY
nerves have rcgained their former strength. my
eycsight and mind have become clear. and !
have gained in weight about ID pounds, and l
feel like a new man. My stomach has got back
it's power OF digestion, and l can eat almost
out pain or distress. l am gaining daily and +
feel better and weigh more than l have for tho
past ten years, and 1t seems l have a new lease
OF life. l cannot say enough In favor OF your
wonderful Electric Body Belt. 1t is far supe-
rior to all medicines compounded for the reltef
and cure Of chronic and complicated diseases,
and broken down constitutions. i would not
take $1,000 for INV Beit II l could not get anoth-
err like It. There /. nothing like II for relief and
cure where all other remedies fail. / can not
praise your Belt enough. for what 1t has done
for me words can not express. Will say here
that ! recommend the Owen Electric Belt to
all suffering humanity who fail to find relief
from other remedies. 1t is the messenger Of
quick relief and certain cure Of all nervous de-
bility and other nerve troubles. l know it will
cure oil diseases which you advertise 1t to cure.
This you may publish to let suffering human
ity know there is relief and cure to be found
in your wonderful Belt and Appliances.

fHE OWEN ELECTRIC BELT 4 APPLIANCE Co:
Dear Sjrs-l now am able to say, after having

thank God l have found relief from my terrible

1891. ct which time | was a great sufferer, and
had been for more than four years. from ex-
treme nervous prostration, SO much so that, ON
the least excitement. my whole nervous system
would be all of a ire nble from head to foot. and
unable to control myself In the least, and would
affect me to tears like a little child. | am a
farmer by profession; in the fields, or at work
on the farm, OF at any excitement. it had the
SAINT effect. ] could not lift the weight OF five
pounds. 1t SO continued with increased suffer
ing until l was unable to help myself, and for
eight long months my suffering was intense.
My stomach vas SO weak that | could not take
any food but crackers aud warm water for the
above time. My kidneys were so weak that l
could not retain my urine: II would pass from
me continually. and | was under the necessity
OF leaving my couch from six to eight times of
a night to void my urine. which was very pain
full. / was also troubled with severe constipa-
tion and piles, so that ! was obliged to use in
~jections to produce excavations OF the bowels.
1t was very distressing. so much SO that i had
to be lifted in and out OF my bed for several
months. The doctors could do me no good what
was was no h help for me this side Of the grave. nv
limbs would become numb and cold, seemingly
as ice, and ! would try with hot bricks. rub
bing and all other methods to restore the cir
c~ulation and natural feeling, but all to no e.
feet, and then it would pass Oft. Then again
another attack would occur which would leave
me helpless, and so continuedp periodically, and
| could get no relief. The doctors told me that
| must not do any work, aud that IT would be
three years at least before l v would be able to
work. l agreed with them, for l could not, nor
did l ever expect to again. The whole world
seemed to me a blank. and my vital forces all
had lett me, and my life was fast ebbinR away
which doctors were unable even to check. /
had given up all hope Of ever getting help. and
Of escape from this living horror, OF which no
living person is able to know or feel. except his
sufferings be rs mine have been. In this state
of suffering and agony l continued until about
one year ago now. l met q friend who, on see-
ing my helpless condition, advised me to try

A Health Hint.

The late Sir Andrew Clark, the fa.

quite enough to send a healthy man

On the face of it this story is absurd.

An Object Lesson In F~rse-Trade.
o, God, look down with pity on this broken
heart of mine
And send some work to save me from the
open path TO crime;
For ten long months ! travelled In sunshine
and in rain
In search OF some employment. but my
efforts have been vain.
For many long and happy years I havn
earned in the mill
The means to keep dear grandma. l hope
TO ksepher still,
then all the girls were happy. We had
money, clothes and homes,
Our song Of joy was drowned by the music
OF the looms.
To the old mill every morning we marched
in gay phalanx,
Planning for the dinner hour to play our
girlish pranks.
But early In the summer we heard the SEN
tence passed,
The Free Trade plague is coming, We must
shut down at last.
The savings l had treasured from the wages
have made,
l have paid out as d tribute to the nations
scourye Free-Trade;
My clothes are In the pawn shop, | am now
ashamed to meet
In tho happy hours OF daylight the friends
used to greet.
The home that I had furnished with many
a fond device,
The Free Trade scourge has robbed me OF
that humble paradise,
have nothing now to live for but n duty
TO fulfill.
My hopes In life were buried with the clos
ing CT the mill.
Rot I cannot leave dear grandma: she
took me TO her side
And nur,ed me IN my infancy. wheu my
own dear mother died.
Tho purpose Of Free Trader now to wreck
our lives Is plain.
Our lives shall be the sacrifice, our horror
we'll retain.
