BILLY GREENHORN'S LETTER.

Thanksgiving Day has come and

on Fly Greek with il.
One old gohbler's slentorian voice
still echoes and reverberates across
the hills and valleys, reminding us
that his tribe is not yet extinct; he's
thankful, no doubt, that the dag is
gone, and that he was too Old and
poor for the pot, so he gobbles and
gobbles from morning till night, say
ing, no doubt, Thanksgiving comes
but once a year" l said, "0ld fellow,
don't be gobbling too big--Ohristmas
isn't very far off, and you may lose
your head yet"

house and lots of good thinks to eat

just to eat the turkeys upf He
laughed at my question and then said,
"0ur President sets aside one day in
each year as National Thanksgiving
Day and he asks the people Of these
United States TO return thanks to Him
who created and preserves us and
gives us all we enjoy. The turkey has
been selected as the meat for the occa-
sion, as it is the choicest to be found"
ooh, / understand" said, and then
began to think how thankful we
American people should be-none of
us are as thankful as we should be,
and many OF us are not thankful at
] all. What shame If there's any
body in this world that needs to be
| pitied, it is the man or the woman
that is not thankful for what they
have-what they enjoy day by day
They are like the hog, which eats and
tramps over the good things throw

whence they come.

ELECT ROPOISE
GRADE MARKJ

Dear Sir; 1 bought an Electropoise form

who had spinB trouble, which was caused by
a fail about thr' , ears ago.
When got thu EleCtTOpOise my son could
not wax; IN tact, no was paralyzed from his
hips down. He had not put mis- feet on the
floor since last DC ober. He was badly drawn
and could not even sit in q chair. We kept
him in bed most of the time, and when he
wan ed 10 get up we had to make him pallet
on the floor His legs were so stiff that we
could hardly bend them, and aft, bending
them mad TO Strengthen them out again. His
little body WAS in the shape OF a half moon,
and he could not even turn over in bed.
had the bes! doctors in Shreveport to at
tent him, but they cOu do nothing, and gave
me no hope of his getting well aga n.
After seeing the testimonials you sent, i
concluded to try one. although the doctors
| laug he'd at me for thinking Of such thing
Iapplied the Rleciropoise at a low power
| for two weeks, and must say my patience was
| tried at finding very little. If any, good re-
| suits from its use. l left of for about ten
days, and durin that time my boy complain
ed of his knees hurting. | knew that was
| good sign, and applied the instrument at
high power by putting the instrument on a
cake ice every night and kept the plate on his
ankle all night. kept this treatment up for
two weeks, and during this time he suffered
much with his legs complained of violent
pains, heat, violent itching, etc. When re.
action set in he could stand up by the bed by
holding on Tnis was the first time his feet had
touched the floor for seven months. He then
improved rapidly and can now walk as well
as he ever did. His rest at night ia now the
best. His curvature is decreasing. and L
think that in time there will be very little de-
formity left.
The doctors was astonished,
/ have only used the Electropoise for spinal
trouble, and can say there is nothing under
the sun equal to 1t for treatment that disease
and paralysis.
it is worth more than its weight in gold.
There are msn-skeptics, and was one. but

tropoise. and proclaim 1t the graudest inven-
tion of the age. X. A. CALHOUN.
