People in every walk Of life have

knew that the backache, headache,

nerves are weakened and inadeq uate
to the demands upon them. The ex

Col. Joseph L. Follett of New York
has a national reputation.
At the age Of 81, Col. Follett en-
listed in Battery &, First Missouri
Light Artillery, and soon rose to its
command. At Lookout Mountain,
his was the only Battery that reach
ed the summit.
Since the war he has devoted him
self to mechanical engineering, and
has invented several important i'm
provements on the sewing machine,
and a bicycle that promises to be one
of the surprises of next season.
The tension on the nervous system
of an inventor, kept up for months
and months, seriously weakened the
health of a busy brain worker like
Col. Follett, and his constitution
which even the hardships of war die
not weaken, threatened to succuml
to nervous exhaustion.
What Col. Follett has to say in re
gard to his restoration to health
cannot fail to carry great weight

BODY GRAPPlERS.
Some of the Difficulties IN Recovering
Drowned Persons.

Some of tha Difficulties In Recovering
Drowned Persons.
Graphing for dead bodies is a difficult
and lab0riOus task. In seaport cities where
harbOr police force is maintained the
work Of looking for people supposed to
have been drowned is allotted to them. In
other places the regular police force gener-
ally carries On the work, though it is not
infrequcnt for private parties to grapple Oh
their own account, with the hope OF obtain
ing the standing reward offered by the
state for the recovery of drowned bodies,
In Massachusetts, the amount of the re-
ward is s., and it is paid to the persons
who take the body from the water.
1t requires three men to operate one
grappler. Two are the oarsmen of the boat
and the third is the man who controls the
graphing iron. A grappler is a straight
bar of iron, upon which is fixed about a
dozen iron hooks. The hooks are placed on
two sides of the bar, and there is long
iron handle in the center of the bar, to
which the rope held by the man in the
boat is attached. In addition to the big
hooks, there are about dozen Goldfish
little pieces of cod line. The grappler Is
behind the boat.
The moment the hooks come in contact
with anything ON the bottom the man
with the rope in his hand can tell it in
much the same way that fisherman
knows when lie gets 'bite." 1t requires
no great strength to haul q body from the
bottom to the surface. 1t is then towed to
the shore and landed, and then the med
ical examiner is sent for to inspect it. 1t
must not be moved before.
OF course it is often more luck than any
thing in finding person supposed to be
drowned. In still water, such as lakes and
ponds and when the spot where the per
son sank can be pointed out with a reason
able degree Of accuracy, the success of the
searchers is an easy matter. But in rivers,
and harbors especially, where there is a
good deal of tide, not one body in ten can
be recovered even when the drowned person
was seen to sink and the spot is pointed
