ally discovered by Mr.. Samuel Tank

but before the DIR. arrived, Mr.. Marshall
was dead. An examination showed his left
leg broken in several places and that he
was otherwise injured about the head and
face.
1t is not known, but the theory is. that at
the point Mr.. Marshall attempted to cross the
B. & o. a new overhead bridge is being put
in, and that he rode to the point without
discovering this and that his horse was about
to 60 over the precipice, but that in regaining
his footing threw his rider into the cut be-
low. The accident occurred about O'Clock
in the evening. The deceased leaves wife
and six children, several of whom are young
He has also living two sisters and two broth
ers. His sisters are Misses Mamie and Mar

An Eminent Specialists Offer.

Some people are always going to the doc
tors and are never we'll. A large portion
OF their income goes for doctors advice and
medices that do no good. The question of
health is vital one; but the diseases that
ruin lives are the chronic nervous and blood
complaints that the local practitioner is
wholly unable to cope with. For all such
disorders, for all diseases arising out of the
blood and nerves. the remedies discovered
by DR.. Greene, of IS West 14th street, New
York City, one of whose discoveries is the
world famous Nervura, provide the cure.
These remedies are SO uniformly successful
that they demonstrate themselves to be
what they really are. the provision made by
nature for the cure Of such ills. This great
specialist discovered them after years of
search and practice, and they have brought
health to thousands.
DR.. Greene charges nothing for consulta-
ton and gives his advice, which is the ad-
vice of his great experience also, absolute
ly free. Every person. rich or poor, is well
come to consult him, either personally or
by letter. The consultation inspires hope
and the treatment cures.
