Mrs John N. Hatton, lady residing in
Lebanon, o., used the remedy as de-
scribed above and her experience told in
her own words will quite likely interest
all women deeply. Mrs. Hatton says:
Yes, 1 used Golden Specific without my
husbands knowledge and completely
cured him.
He was hard drinker, q, good man
when sober, but for years 1 lived in fear
and dread. shame and despair. poverty

A small planter of Mississippi bore

incident. 1t seems that while in town

exhibit a pocket pistol In crowd of
loafers about the court house square 1t
was an old-fashioned Sharpe's four-bar-
relied of twenty-five caIiber, the clum-
siest, ugliest and most inaccurate ma
chine ever devised by man. and, of
course. they gave him the big laugh.
"oh. WE'LL he said, picking up an empty
beer bottle, which happened to be Heu-

do" Bet You don't hit it in fifty shots y
n bystander yelled. Hit it. he rep led.
Il am going TO shot down the neck and
bore hole through the bottom without
breaking it," With that he whirled the
bottle high in the air, and as 1t was
spinning round and round he b,azed
away. They picked it up unbroken. and
sure enough his bullet passed down the
long neck bottle perforated the bottom

Ensign is an old title obsolete in the
