Upon HeT-R Crcrsd, Complete
Cure by HOODS Sarsapariiia
After Others Failed.
81 was taken with neuralgia in nv
head aud eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofuia sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. NV
face looked go bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but [
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. Sol
CouIt; Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilia, urged me to try it.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time | saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
raIgia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those On my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
/ have never had any symptom of scrofuIa
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of nv terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured -

found numerous samples OF platinum
at depth Of 50 feet from the surface,
which continues in layers to the bot
tom Of the shaft. Small quantities of
both gold and silver were also found.

times as valuable as gold, on account
of its indispensability to certain cleo
trical appliances and other scientific
uses, the great value of the find may
be seen,

HER BONES DISCOUNTED.

brutal Exhibition Of Ilypnotism at AndsF.
son, Ind. That May he stopped.
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. A.-lndiana
officers have had their attention called
to a brutal exhibition that is given by
Mr. and Mrs. James Foy in this city,
and pressure will be brought to bear
to stop the continuance Of the display.
1t consists of hypnotic exhibition,
the Charcot system of hypnotism be-.
ing used, which paralyzes all vital
organs but the heart. After the wife
is thus put to sleep Foy disjoints
every one of her limbs. When he
pulls them apart they crack like
the report Of gun. He then pulls
the arms and legs around out of shape
and, in fact, seems to tear her all to
pieces 1t is an exhibition that tries
the nerves of witnesses, and it is not
an illusion, as the bones can be seen
bullying against the flesh. After the
woman is thus disjointed Foy con-
tinues by taking hold Of her head
and twisting it. Finally there
is cracking and the neck be-
comes two inches longer The
head then falls upon the breast, the
backbone being disjointed. The head
is then tucked around under an arm or
laid back on the back. Many leave
the hall unable to stand it. Docto s
have examined the test and pronounce
it wonderful. Foy then places the dis
jointed bones in proper position, brings
her out of her trance and she seems to
have no idea of what was being done.

Hundreds Of children In this city are practl.

voreed parents are usually worse than none
without school, and scarcely have they even

tempest Of gloom.
That this fact may be fastened In the minds
not only OF Christian workers, but OF men who
drink, repeat -Four out of every five Of the

men. Many Of them have good mothers who
die early OF sorrow and abuse
