There Is no name in this section Of the
connected with the medical world,
that is better known to the public than that
of Mr.. Monroe Peterson. lie is situated III
a nice, comfortable home, with q good farm,
about four miles west Of Johnson City, Ill.,,
He is now ffty-eight years old, in a healthy
condition, and weighs one hundred and ninety
pounds. Not a more upright and honorable
citizen does our nation afford, and lie IS
looked upon with wonder, because OF Lis
healthy condition after so long a period OF
misery and suffering.
The cause of Mr.. Peterson's long suffering
was a hurt which he received in q fall, while
running q drill in 1861, being a soldier ut
the time. He has been crippled in his right
leg ever since that date. Sciatic rheumatism
then set in, and his leg began to slowly
wither away and draw up in the joint, aid
now 1t is about two inches shorter than the
other. 1t began to grow worse and. finally,
his whole body began to shake like q person
with the st. Vitus' dance. Ills first severe
attack was about six years ago.
There is no disease in the power Of human
endurance more awful in its pains and
Affections than sciatic rheumatism. Some
times its pain may be a slow, steady one,
while, at other times, it comes with jerks
and wrenches that seem to twist the body
out of all shape Of recognition. 1t seems to
contract the muscles. drawing the body Cl-
most in a knot. While this is probably the
worst stage of sciatic rheumatism, it is some
times found in milder forms. So it was
with Mr.. Peterson, but with it was associ-
ated a feeling and condition almost as un-
comfortable and unbearable. The body was
in a continual shake, rendering it impossible
for him to do anything. lie Lad lost al
control of his muscles. On application to a
physician for relief, he was told that the
a%fiiction might last him all his life, or. on
the other hand, it might leave him entirely
at an unexpected moment.
For over three years he was not able II
write a>word, so severe WIS his shaking. lie
could not even sign his vouchers, thereby
having to make his mark and witness il. 81
this time he could not walk a step without
aid, nor even sit down il q chair without
assistance. So severe was the shaking OF
his head that it almost caused him 10 &C
blind. He could not distinguish, a rcrson 9

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March IL. The
Thlrty.tirst general assembly came to
a close by limitation at noon after a 90
days session. The Legislature was in
harmonious from beginning and the
result was that very little legislation
was effected. None OF the a]ppropria-
tons except one to pay the salaries of
the law makers was passed. On this
account Governor Jones will be COM
PEELED to call an extra session which
will probably begin April l. The
cause OF h session being unsuccessful
was due to an attempt to pass a rail.
road commission bill. The legislature
became divided on the question and
could not agree on a bill.

NtioplnP q raise
modcsty that has been prolific Of weakness
and disease. Four out Of every five women
in America are not perfect women in the
sense of being perfectly healthy. They are
not perfectly equipped for the performance
of the duties of wifehood and motherhood.
Their training has made them feel that it is
better to suffer in silence than to tell of
their trouble and be cured.
The doctors are much to blame for this,
because when treating the diseases peCu-
liarly feminine they invariably insist on cx-
animation and local treatment. That these
things are generally absolutely unnecessary
has been proven by the wonderful success
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. II is
a positive specific for all forms of female
weakness and disease. 1t purihes, strength
ems and regulates the organs distinctively
feminine, restoring them TO a state of per
feet health, and in so doing cures four hfths
of all the illness of women, for almost all
womanly illnesses spring from this one
cause.
Any woman who wants to know Just how
to use the Favorite Prescription, !" and just
what methods will be surely successful in
her case, may have the desired information,

At about one O'Clock this morning Chief of
Police Tosh, assisted by Thomas Jones,
Bus" Hart, Brooks Knelly, several other
citizens and Policeman Foltz, took into

Of being burglars. They are tough-looking

disuict where It was supposed the sang

the mountain and after midnight came back
to town. First one came down. Two others
followed shortly after and the
fourth trailed several yards behind.
Chief Tosh was watching them. He saw
one of the gang go into the yard Of William
Niswender's residence on North Main street,
just above Coal, and another enter the yard
of the Keller residence, a few doors above,
Tosh thought it was time to act, On the
sidewalk, near Coal street, he grabbed one OF
the gang who a y he is Michael Cannon, II
years old, Of Mahanoy City. At about the
same time another Of the gang, who says he
is John Lucif, of Connors' Patch, went to his
pals rescue, saying that Tosh could no
make an arrest. The officer then grapped
Lucip and held both prisoners when a third
member Of the gang threw a bottle at Tosh'I
head, but it missed the mark and wa
shattered on the street. Meantime the citizen
had gathered and they gave Tosh assistance
He took Lucip in hand and with the aid of hi
