DRUNK FOR TWENTY YEARS.
But Fortunately Is To-day Sober and
Happy.

South Canadian, l. T., June 8. 1S99,.,
Gentlemen:-You desire me to state my
opinion of the Bartlett Cure which took
one year ago this month, l am confident
in saying 1t is the greatest remedy ever
onered TO men who have become slaves 10
liquor. had been hard drinker Tor
twenty years In fact, my system was
completely saturated for that length OF
time, and do not know of single day
that i didn't drink and feel its effect. |
had come to point where whiskey seemed
to be as great a necessity as water or
food. No will power was sufficient TO con-
quer the crave. Within three days after
starting the treatment all desire for drink
left me and has not for a moment re-
turned. | have never had better health
or felt better in my life than since seeking
the treatment. it will cure everyone oil
the drink curse who will take it as you
direct. You can use this as you see mt.
Yours truly, EDWARD f. HANSEN.
The Bartlett Cure is a home treatment
for the drink habit. There are no hypo-
dermic injections with their attendant evils
and dangers. 1t leaves patient in the
same physical condition he would be In II
he had never drank. There is nothing dis
agreeable about the medicine. We are en-
abled to treat patients at distance as
we'll as those who can call and see us. We

Travelled quite extensively over the state

DROWNED IN The RIVER
Lewis Steyart Lost His Life in
the Missouri.
IT'S A DANGEROUS PLACE
River Bottom Takes Sudden Drop OF
20 Feet and the Water Is Very
Cold-Companions Had q
Marrow Escape.

i Great Falls, July 30-This afternoon
as party of boys ranging from IL to
Is years of age were in swimming in
the Missouri river. about three miles
above the city, Lewis Steyart was
drowned. According to the story told
by Merrill Waters, who was some dis
tance up the river, there were three of
the party, the unfortunate boy, Harry
Lambert and Orrin Gates, wading out
a dip in the bottom of the river, caused
by the settling in of the current on the
east side. 1t is from IL to 20 feet of a
sudden drop, and the water over the
hole is colder than that inshore. lit has
been the scene of several drownings,
and Is a most dangerous place.
The Waters boy says he heard some
one yell, Lewis is drowning" and when
he got there the boy was gone. His
two comrades had gone out after him
and had succeeded in getting him quite
distance inshore, having some narrow
escapes themselves from being pulled
in by the drowning lad. He lost his
grip on a stick by which they were
towing him just as he was nearly in
safety, and went down for good. The
boys hurried to the poor farm and gave
the alarm, and from there a telephone
message was sent in for the sheriff. The
dragging apparatus was taken up and
at O'Clock the body had not been re-
covered.
Lewis Steyart was 15 years old ard
the son of Charles Steyart of this city.
He was formerly a carrier of the Stand
ard, but this summer has been working
in the bottling establishment of the
Montana brewery. He was a reliable,
industrious sort of a, boy, well liked
by his companions and lad of much
promise. His two brothers, both older,
reside in this city. holding positions as
druggist clerks, one with Roberts &,
Brdgman and the other with the Brad
ley Drug company. The blow is made
the more terrible from the ract that his
mother died last January.
