Marvellous Results.

From a letter Written by Rev, j..
Gunderman. of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract:
Il have no hesitation in recommend
ing DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the
results were almost marvellous in the
case of my wife. While l was pastor
ofthe Baptist Church at Rives Junction
she was brought down with pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible par
oxysms of coughing would last hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results.

James A. Satterfeld was conducting
a normal school in a large building,
having about twenty pupils. a storm
came up suddenly and the sky became

only see with difficulty. The classes
were discontinued, and the pupils
gathered about the windows watching
the torrents Of rain. The lightning
flashes which were very rapid and
brilliant, frightened the young ladies,
who gathered in one corner Of the
room. Crash after crash told Of the
lightning striking in the vicinity and
the young women became more and
more frightened Finally there was

seemed filed with light, as though 1t
was an immense arc lamp. Miss Hat

killed. Three of her companions were
rendered unconscious. The building

preventing its destruction Several

THE AdrOcate assumes that a ire
mendous improvement in business
would Immediately follow free coin
age law and that good times would
come for everybody. This may be so,
but we doubt it. There would be
millions in free coinage for the silver
mine owners, it is true, but some of
the most important commercial inter-
ests of the country are utterly opposed
to free silver in the honest belief that
it would demoralize business generally.
Free and unlimited coinage Of silver,
the measures proposed by the extrem-
lists and enthusiasts, will not do. We
believe safety and prosperity lie in
moderate measures.
