A Remarkable Cure. Mr. O.,

Gnech, of Troy, n. Y, has been afflicted
with what is usually known as on open
great pain, and expended hundreds of dol
lars for doctors and medicines without re-
suits. The sore would apparently heal,
only to break open again after short
time. In one of the papers he reed of a
case somewhat similar to his own, of a
cure effected by the use of DIR. Peters
Blood VitaliZer and Oleum Linimcnt. Mr..
Gnech procured a supply of both RENE
dies, and today he is completely cured of
his fearful trouble of 30 years standing.
He speaks very highly of DR.. Peter
Fahrney and his valuable medicine. A
year has now passed. and no sign of the
temperance OF his trouble, as on former
occasions, has shown itself.

- among royal women, Queen Amelie Of
Portugal and the Grown Princess of Den

but in America it is two inches less, the
superiority of the English being accounted
for by their love of outdoor exercise.
