THIS Is WONDERFUL.
A DAWSON YOUNG MANS REMARKA-
BILE RESCUE
From the Clutches of a Fatal Malady
Snatched from the Jaws of Death,
as 1t We're.


as 1t Were.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Reed Jones left
Dawson with the intention of going to
Colorado in the hope that the climate
there would check the disease, consump
ton, which was SO rapidly sapping the
vitals of life.
Since then nothing has been heard from
Mr. Jones by his Dawson friends, and it
was supposed that he was seeking health
in the salubrious climate of the Rocky
mountains. He did not go west, however,
and is now in Macon about as strong and
robust as before the attack of the usually
fatal and dreaded disease upon his con-
stitution.
Mr.. Jones' experience after leaving
Dawson and the agency which has given
him new lease on life are told of in the
following from Saturdays Macon News:
"Mr. Reed Fl. Jones, prominent
young citizen of Dawson, may move to
Macon within few weeks and establish
here a general agency for the electricure,
new invention similar to the electro
poise and other discoveries of this
nature, but said to possess advantages
peculiar to itself.
"Mr, Jones has had remarkable expe-
rience, the facts in connection with
which are we'll known to the writer. Mr..
Jones was almost shat3hed from the jaws
OF death, as it were, within the past two
months. For ten yeas he has been
victim of what physicians all agreed was
consumption. Up to two months ago he
had not had nights rest nor eaten
square meal in seven or eight years.
For the past three years he has been I'M
able to walk a distance of fifty yards
without the greatest fatigue. He has
spent great deal of money in an effort
to improve his health, travelling from
Florida to California and searching the
whole country for the health which was
denied him.
about January 1st he Ca ne to Macon
en- route to Colorado, but afterWard
changed his mind and started for Nassau
Bahama Islands. He went to Tampa to
take the boat for Key West, but after
reaching Tampa he was completely pros
trated and ply sicians said he could not
live two weeks. and advised him not to
attempt sea trap. They wanted to tel
egraph to members of his family, but
Mr.. Jones would not consent to this.
Two DAYS after his arrival IN Tampa he
CHANGED to meet DR.. Lillibridge, the in
ventor of the electric are, who said his
instrument would save the young mans
life.
"Mr. Jones at first laughed at the idea,
but as a last resort he consented to ac-
company DR.. Lillibridge to Barlow, Fla.'
where the treatment was begun. Within
a week Mr.. Jones slept well, had good
appetite and was able to take an ordinary
amount of exercise, things he had not
done for five years. He remained IN Bar
to two months and returned TO Macon
yesterday in better health than he has
enjoyed for ten years. His friends here
hardly knew him, so great was the
change in his appearance. He was
messenger on the Georgia Southern train,
which was held out all Thursd ~ night
by a washout near GrOvania, and was
awake all night, but this did not fatigue
him. for he spent the entire lay in Ma
con, walking about the streets and en-
loving himself as he had not been able
to do In Ave years. OF course. he has
