RELIEF
Invariably Found by the Use of
the Electropoise.
Suffered From the Effects of La Grippe
for Twelve Months-Cases That
Cannot Be Doubted.
RELIEF

I have thought sometime of writing
you of my experience with the Electro
poise, and my opinion of 1t. When re-
ceived the Electropoise, more than two
years ago, | was suffering with the eff
fects of la grippe, and had been for about
twelve months. Some of the time / was
in bed and quite feeble, and gradually
losing ground. Soon after applying the
instrument l found relief, and l contin-
ued to improve until l was restored and
now l am able to do as much work as
could three years ago. 1t has given me
renewed energy and has built up my sys-
tenn generally. 1 have seen 1t tested In
cases of typhoid and malarial fevers and
cases of pneumonia, collie fux Group
colds, la grippe. indigestion and rheuma-
GSm, where not dose of medicine Was
given, and have never failed in one sin
gle case, while some of them the doctors
had abandoned, saying they could do
them no more good. We applied the
Eectropoise and from the beginning
they began to improve.
These are cases that cannot be doubted
and speak well for the Electropoise, as
there are plenty of witnesses to testify.
l have all faith in the Electropoise and
all my family use 1t on all occa sions, and
invariably find relief. / am yours, with
kind regards,

The Forfeited Railroad Land.

The Forfeited Railroad Land.
Register Evans, of the federal land
Office, at Des Moines, continued to be
deluged with entries for the lands
forfeited under supreme court deoi-
sion by the Sioux City and st. Paul
railway. Most of the applications are
from persons holding some sort of title
from the railroad. Where the applica-
tions were not accompanied by money
no attention is paid to them. Where
the money is sent the right Of appli-
cants are protected. Under the land
laws the right of persons holding title
from the railroad will be first con-
sidered, but the law is very strict as
to what constitutes title. It must be
by deed. Most of the settlers have
only contracts with railroad. They
are no better situated than other
applicants for their lands and their
only recourse is against the railroad
company.
