KNOXVILLE, Iowa. Nov. %, 1898.
[, the undersigned, being benefited
by the use of your s vedish Essence,
invariably recommend it to my friends.
Last spring | visited a cousin whom l
had not seen for many years. When
last saw her the family consisted Of
mother and three daughters; she tod
me her mother and sisters were all
dead, having died from consumption,
and now she was in very poor health,
the doctors telling her she would soon
die, as she also had the same disease.
She was very respondent, knowing her
doom. | questioned her as to her con-
dition, and made up my mind | would
be the means of curing her. [ told her
to quit all doctors and senl for pack
age of Zae els Swedish Essence and
give it a fair trial. She said she would.
| left and did not see her again for
about seven months, when | called on
her again and found great change. l
Immediately remarked that she looked
different to what She was when | last
saw her, and she said Il sent for that
medicine you recommended and am
well, cough all gone, appetite good and
no appearance of consumption And
she gives all the praise TO Zaegeps
Swedish Essence. One of her chill
dren was complaining, and she now
wants some for her We recommend
this medicine to all our friends, and
would like YOU to send two packages to
H. A. Herrick, Knoxville, Iowa, and

Swedish Essence of Life is to be given
away free to everybody. This famous
remedy comes as near being a bodily
restorer as we are ever likely to find !.
When taken into the stomach it acts 50
pleasantly upon the digestion that a
good healthy appetite results; and the
liver, bowels, kidneys and bladder all
come in for share of the new strength
and vigor. rheumatism, backache and
headache, biliousness and all nervous
diseases are rapidly cured as we'll as
all diseases of women. There are times
when person would give almost any
thing to be rid Of frightful headache.
Zaegel's Swedish Essence will relieve
it right away. And the sour stomach,
constipation, lack of energy, backache
and the hundred or more little ills
with which we are attacked so
frequently will be quickly cured by
this famous remedy. No one need
trouble themselves to doubt whether
this remedy will do all these things as
you can have free trial package first
and see what it does for you.
Zaegel's Swedish Essence is SO well
known that probably quite a number
of our readers are already using it, but
this makes no difference as a free
trial package will be sent to everyone
who writes. Do not neglect to get in
your application at once. The best
way is to sit down this minute, write a
letter to NJ. r. Zaegel & Co., Box S2S,

want free trial package of Swedish
Essence of Life. This will be sent you
by mail and is large enough to con-
vince YOU of the merit of this cele-
brated household remedy. A two-cent
stamp should be enclosed in your letter

PURIFIES AND COOLS THE AIR.
Austrian Engineer Discovers a New

Austrian Engineer Discovers a New
Matter Which He Calls "Electroid."
Francis Rychnowski, a mechanical en-
gineer of Lemberg, Austria, has discov-
cred strange and very subtle matter,
which he has called ''electroid," because
of certain affinity with electricity. Elec
trold, produced by special apparatus
built by the inventor, is obtained by the
dissolution of certain matters under the
influence of the electric current. 1t
makes noise, and at the same time re-
freShing scent and cool breeze are eXpe-
perienced. This discovery induced Mr..
Rychnowski 70 make a machine capable
of refreshing the air to such a degree
that those present during the experiment
had the feeling that the window was
open, although this was not the case
Electroid is a very subtle matter, but
it seems to be a fluid. and it can be gath
cred and preserved; while falling on a
plate it reflects in a shape of shining
sheaveS.
The commission appointed by the Aus
trian government to investigate this dis
covery reported that under the influence
of electroid, plants grow rapidly, and the
buds of flowers unclose while one is look
ing at them. Electroid annihilates mi
crobeS, and thus preserves organic mat
ter. These are physiological influences
of electroid. Among mechanical phe-
nomena the commission reported that the
influence of electroid is not stopped even
by brick wall and glass; that it at
tracts solid bodies and makes them SHINE
Ike moonlight makes them move and
attract other bodies; finally, that it acts
on Photographic plates and produces
sharp and distinct lines such as were
formerly possible only with a very power

sion was that Mr. Rychnowskis discov-
cry will play a great part If applied TO
industry, as is the case with the discov-
covery of his countryman, Jan Szczepan-

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 7o,244I
"One year ago last June three doc

it again. I was apparently an invalid,

Gifts by Englishmen TO the United
States.

Much public interest was aroused dur
ing August, 1895. by the announcement
OF the award by the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, of the HodgkinS prize of $4,000
to Lord Rayleigh and Prof William
Ramsay for their remarkable discovery
of a new element-argOn-in the atmos-
phere. From time to time requests have
been made to the institution, but for the
most part these have been comparatively
small. In 1891, however, Thomas @.
Hodgkins of Setauket, n Y, expressed
his desire to donate 100000 to the
Smithsonian fund. The regents accept
ed the sum, with the single condition
made by the donor that the income of
100000 Of the gift shall be used, under
this general purpose, for the especial one
edge by investigating and spreading
knowledge concerning all the phenomena
of atmospheric air. In accordance with
this provision, early in 1894 a circular
was issued offering "a prize of $4,000
for treatise embodying some new and
important discovery III regard to the ma
ture or properties of atmospheric air. y
The first award of this prize was made
as mentioned above. Two grants of
money were previously made from this
fund to aid in the prosecution of special
investigations on air, one of which is be-
ing carried on in Germany and the other
IN the United States.
Meanwhile, in November. 1892, Mr..
Hodgkins died, at the advanced age of
80 years, and made the Smithsonian in
stitute his residuary legatee. In conse-
quence a further sum of money was
added to the Smithson fund, and the to-
tai amount of the permanent fund now
on deposit in the United States treasury
is $91 900. on which sum an annual in
tereSt of q per cent. is paid to the in
stitution Tor the carrying out Of its spe-
cial aims. 1t is curious to note that

STORIES OF ROBERT BONNER
His Scrupu1oUs Exactness in Matters
Involving Payments of Money.

Robert Bonner's personal characteris
tics were pronounced, and he carried
most of his principles to an extreme
point. His constant refusal to borrow
money has been mentioned many times,
and the extent to which he carried this
is eXemplited by many stories that are
told of him. He paid off his employees
every Saturday night, whether their NOM
nal salary ran by the week or month
lie always tried, too, to give exact
change to each man, although he did not
have it all counted out beforehand. Very
frequently he would find himself short
of small change in paying his stablemen
OFT, and he would sometimes ask one of
his sons for change of a bill If 1t hap
pened that the son did not have enough
change in his pocket, Mr.. Bonner would
not accept the loan even Of Il couple of
dollars over night, but would rather give
a So bill for So in change. Although con-
lined to his bed on the Saturday night
before his death, Mr.. Bonner insisted
that his son should pay all of the en-
ployeS as usual.
A story that Mr.. Bonner was once
turned out of school for defending a
schoolmate against a charge of which
he was innocent has been published, but
Is not exactly true. Mr.. Bonner was
never turned out Of any school, but he
did cause a good deal of excitement in
one. His older brother was about to be
punished for an OffenSe of which he was
innocent, when Robert, "the old man.
restrained the teacher by force. Both
boys then remained out of school, with
the approval of their parents, until the
teacher apologized.
Mr.. Bonner made many close friends
among the well-known men of his time.
One Of his most intimate friends was
Henry Ward Beecher, who was a priv
LEGGED character about the Ledger of
fee. Mr.. Bonner's private office was
sacred ground to almost everyone else.
1t was always piled high with documents,
manuscripts, memoranda and exchanges
which Mr.. Bonner used stoutly to de-
clare he had put in order within n few
days. MIR. Beecher came in one day
when Mr.. Bonner was out, and left, as
q record of his presence, q sheet Of fools
cap across which he had written with the
editorial blue pencil "Disorderly Robert.
H. w. b."
Mr.. Bonner was repeatedly urged to
write an autobiography, but, while he
never actually refused to do so, he never
began it. If an authoritative biography
is written hereafter it will probably be
done by Rev. DR.. Mcintosh. who has
thought of the matter frequently. Mr..
Bonner had a large collection of letters
and memoranda. One of his most treas
ured souvenirs was the original manu-
script of Edward Everett's speech to the
women of America on the purchase Of
Mount Vernon. Mr.. Everett gave him
the manuscript bound in leather. AS a
sort of preface appears Il copy of a letter
inviting MIR. Everett to speak in this
city. 1t is signed by a score of New
1orks most prominent citizens, but Mr..
BonnerS name is not among them, al
though the original letter was in his
handwriting.-New York Sun.
