4 Remarkable FREAK ~ Mature Re-

Sewer state.

The strange adventure Of Dennis Sui

of wind, from the gentlest zephyr to
the fiercest tornado.
But all confess that the breeze that

sensibility, fatally wounded his prize
calf, and tore zigzag path through
the finest rye crop in the state is a new
one. Nothing like it is in the books, it
has no thorough explanation.
The press reports say that Mr.. Sui
livan went into the field to look after
a young calf. When he entered the
field he noticed movement in the
grass as of some animal. But no
animal appeared. Only some strange
spirit of the wind or unknown thing
passed over the field in narrow, zig
gag path, whirling and beating the
grain in horrible lashing manner
and coming in Mr.. Sullivan's direction.
He hurriedly stepped aside, and only
felt the edge of this, strange element
asitswept by. Hewas almost strangied
and fearfully wrenched, and was pow
beaten and torn, with dead leaves and
grain following the wake high in the
air after the demoniacal sirocco. The
calf which stood partially in the path
was struck on the hind leg and gave
a low below of fear and pain. As
soon as Mr.. Sulligan recovered he wen1
to the Calls assistance and found thu
flesh bruised and torn and the bones
broken as if some mighty club ha6
smote it.
Mr.. Sullivan says the grain trav
ersed and the grass also has died cleal
to the roots.
'There has been no official report O
such an unheard of wind,"' said DR.
Henry Frankenfeld, local weather oh
server, "and am at loss for an ex

Nothing could be fairer, more philan-

He has discovered a reliable and alb

cline and weakness, loss of flesh and
all conditions of wasting away; and to
make its great merits known, will send
three free bottles of his newly discov-
cred remedies to any afflicted reader OF
the ALMA RECORD.
Already his "new scientific system OF
medicine" has permanently cured thous'

The doctor considers it not only his
professional, but his religious duty-a
duty which he owes to suffering human
ity-to donate his infallible cure.
He has proved the dreaded consump'
ton" to be durable disease beyond q
doubt, in any climate, and has on file
in his American and European labora
tories thousands of "heartfelt testi
monals of gratitude" from those bene
fitted and cured in all parts of the world
