surface and left it raw and sore. The
doctors saw it was necessary to graft
portions of skin to the surface to
bring about a cure. They told the
sick man of it and they barred his
sides to cut off the strips of skin to
put over the raw arm.
The blade flashed into the mans
side, the blood spurted out and with
a moan, the man fell over in q faint
sickened by the pain. His wife had
been watching, her sympathetic heart
touched to it's depths by the sight of
her husbands suffering.
doctor, don't do that again" she
begged. "Don't cut any more. he
is too weak and has suffered too much.
Cut it off me. Won't that dot"
The doctor told her that it would.
She cody barred her arm and told
them she was ready. The razor
edged blade sunk into the flesh and
went ripping down, followed by q
tiny fountain of blood. She did not
vince. Dexteriously, expertly the
doctors slit out piece Of skin and
grated it over the mans arm. An
other and another piece was cut out,
until more than a dozen had been
removed, and all the while the Spar.
tan woman remained standing watch
ing the swift fash of the knife, the

sickening spectacle without shrek

The husbands arm grated over
with skin taken from his wife's arm

woman is fast healing up, leaving
many long scars that will ever bear
evidence to the heroism of her love.

Earoism Of a Woman's Love.

The keen stroke of the surgeons
blade along the slender nerves, shoot
ing currents of agony to every fibre
and torturing every muscle, causes
the physically bravest Of US to quail,
even when it is vitality necessary to
undergo pain, and something like
Spartan courage is needed when one
voluntarily goes through with the ex-
perience solely for another's sake.
DIR. Jarnigan tells a story, in the
Atlanta Constitution, and it is out OF
his own professional experience, that
has for it's heroine woman who did
this bravely unsel6sh thing.
Her husbands arm had been crushed
in the machinery. The hard folds OF
muscle had been fattened and the
bone had been crushed. The arm,
bruised and discolored, was bad to
look upon, but it gave no indication
of the excruciating torture OF pain
the man had to undergo. 1t was
thought at first by the doctor that
his arm would have to come off-the
the good right arm that supported
the good brave wife who stood by
his side, and the serious, anxious
faced children who stood looking on.
He begged them to save his arm, his
wife begged them and fortunately
the condition of the case permitted
them to.
But the arm did not heal. The
skin slouehed away from the wounded

All the People

Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished
diseases of various kinds are almost
certain to result. The one true blood
purifier is Hoods Sarsaparilla. BY
it's power to purify and vitalize the
blood it has proved itself to be the
safeguard Of health, and the record
of remarkable cures effected proves
that it has wonderful power over
disease. It actually and permanently
cures when all other preparations
fail to do any good whatever. 38

GERESro, MISS, May 9Th, 1892.
Although never used any secret
remedies before, I prescribe st.
Joseph's Sarsaparilla in my practice
as would any prescription OF my
own compounding, and any physi-
clan who will do the same will be
greatly pleased at the results
achieved. In my opinion it is supe-
rior to all others and has been es-
pecislly useful to me in Rheumatic
and Scrofulous cases.

over ten long years be suffered the
most excruciating pains that made
life burden and almost unbearable.
Mr.. Riddles pitiable and helpless
condition was known to many OF our
most prominent and Influential citl-

health is a marval to all.
About two weeks ago, while on bis
way to fill a preaching appointment
at Irene, he dropped in to our Office

his remarkable recovery. We asked
him to what be attributed his present

ten years, but not severely until
sometime in January, 1894. In that
month I received fall and sprained
my right knee, the pain finally locat-

time I suffered terribly, and at one
time I made up my mind to give up
all pastoral work During the sum-

The bicycle war which has
broken out in Germany is all evil
dence of the accomplishment of
American skill and enterprise.
The German wheel is heavy and
cumbersome, and::recently an enter
prising American manufacturer
established an agency, advertised
extensively in German papers, and
he met with heavy sales. This
aroused the German manufact-
urers to a combine and proscrip-
ton of newspapers that advertised
the American wheel, appeals we're
made to Germon patriotism, and
reichstag is to be petitioned to
raise the duty on American
wheels so as to exclude them from
