Madison, Ohio, Jan. %,
whv DR.. MeE,wee is Succession,


1t looks like DR.. McElwe e would have
to stop in Viroqua two days instead of
one il his practice keeps on growing,
and it certainly will because there are
many sick people who want to get well,
and in DR.. McElwee they seem to have
found physician whose promise to cure
is guarantee that they will get we'll.
The wonderful cures made by the doctor
have become generally known and per-
sons having painful, chronic diseases
are anxious to consult a physician whose
CURES speak for themselves. The doctor,
AS has been noticed before, insists that
the SPECIAL DRUGS he uses, FRESH FRo,l
TIE MOST sKILLFUL of EURoPE's CHEM
lists handle, insure these remarkable
cures, They are late discoveries and
destroy the MICROBES or GERMS that
cause disease. 1t is hard to believe that
medicines would have saved Mr. Schiltz
who had run down to nothing but skin
and bone, having lost 70 pounds and he
was almost in constant agony with the
pain in his stomach. The best doctors
in La Crosse and other places could do
nothing for him and told his friends
he could live only little time. Well,
nearly everybody knows that within
two months after consulting DR.. NOEL
wee he had gained 26 pounds and had
not suffered 20 minutes. He is perfectly
we'll now and stops his work only long
enough to eat and sleep and tell about
his wonderful cure. He may we'll brag
about DIR. McElwee because he owes his
life to him. The doctor says he gets
just as good results in cases of CANCER,
RHEUMATISM, EPILEPSY, LUNG and THROAT
TROUBLES.

A Distressing Accident.

A distressing accident happened at
the feed mill of Silbaugh Il Emilson on
Friday afternoon to Mr.. Silbaugh's son
Chester, who thoughtlessly, it is pre-
sumed, attempted to remove the betting
from wheel by kicking it eff. His
foot was caught between the rim of the
wheel and the belt, and he was thrown
with great violence upon the floor sew
eral feet away. Mr.. Silbsugh, who was
on the floor below, heard his agopizing
cry of alarm, and instinctively knowing
something serious had happened bis
son, was almost overcome with fear and
apprehension. He finally succeeded in
reaching him however, when immediate
attention was given the suffering boy,
who bitterly complained Of his own
carelessness On investigation it was
discovered he had sustained a serious
fracture q leg below the knee, and
dislocated tlle ankle joint in a terrible
manner. Chester is an industrious boy,
and we hope be will speedily recover.

The Railroad Project Gu asbed.

The prevailing rumor in regard to
the measures taken by the committee
appointei by the city couucil to com
municate with the officials of the Bur-
lington and Northern for the construc
tion of branch from their main line to
yiroqua, is rather discoursging to those
who are interested in the project of
having another road. A letter from the
president of the Burlington informs the
committee that owing to the obnoxious
inter state commerce law it will be i'm
possible for their company to entertain
the thought of building any more roads
while the law exists Some are of the
opinion the reply of the president is
only suhterfuge given in order to con-
ceal existing arrangements they may
have with competing roads, and at the
same time to give the inter state COM
merce law good round slap. Be that
as it may, one thing is quite certain,
and that is the fact that it will probably
be a long time ere those living along
and adjacent to the ripping waters OF
the Bad AK will have their peaceful
slumbers disturbed by the familiar antics
OF an iron stallion.
