NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEuMA.
TlSM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that +. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time
Gould only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. he
had consultation of the best physi-s
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried p. p. r. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases OF
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatis
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. p. p. will not make
total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med.
icine, p. p. p, Lippman's Great REM
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. 2. P. p. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. p. p, Lippman's Great Remedy.

Some years ago, says the a1thor OF
Zig Game o. North America" three
children who lived near Olympia, Wash
ing,on, were returning from school,
when Walter, the eldest, Toy OF T.,
noticed what he thou yht to be a largo
yellow dog trOtting in the road behind
them. They paid no attention to it, as
large mongrel dogs Of this )lor abound
everywhere in the vicinity of Indian
camps, but went paying lc'surely alon :;
Suddenly tie youngest, a chubby chap
of G, who was beh nd his brothers, camo
running to the front, and moment 'atcr
the ANIMAL seen now TO be a cougar,
sprang over the heads Of the two aston
ished boys seized the little fellow in his
mouth, and with q spring vanished iO
the bushes.
The elder brother not stop to de-
liberate. lie had for weapon only an
empty bottle, in with ho had carried
milk for his dinner, and with this he
rushed into the bushes His little broth.
er was lying PROSTATE, grasping small
tree with both hands, and holding on
with the strength OF despair, while tho
cougar, his fangs luckily imbcdded only
in the childs clothing. was trying to
break this death-likc grip.
With a scr am, Walter threw himself
on the animal, beat it over the head
with the bottle until the glass was shat
tered in fragments, and then, with the
ragged edges of the bott'Cs neck, he en-
dcavered to cut out the cougars eyes.
At last the cougar, with yell of rage,
drOpped his ho'd on the c'iiid &n1 ran
ND tree near at hand Whie the heroic
boy, lifting his brother in his arms, car
ricd him into the road and fell fainting
upon him.
Meanwhile the other brother had fed
screaming up the road, and fortunate.y
met two men who had been chopplng
near by. AS soon as he had told tho
cause of his fright, they rdshed on, to
find the lite hero senSelcss, still tight
" grasping the neck of the broken
bottle
The cougars victim was too much
horrified to sreak, but pointed to the
savage beast, lying on a limb IN fdIl
v.ew. One of the men had pistol and
with few shots the animal vas killed
