BRESCpS WIFE.
Identified by Tennessee People as
Former Miss NeilI, Beauty
of Shelbyville.

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 9.-Positive
evidence has just been secured that
Sophie Neil, formerly a beauty of
Shelbyville, Tenn, few miles from
this city, is now the wife of Bresci,
who assassinated the king of Italy.
Ihe girl left her home at Shelbyville
some 10 or II years ago for New York.
She was forced to seek employment,
taking position in the same factory
with Bresci. The couple became en-
gagged and married. Since the news
came over the wire that Bresci's wife's
maiden name was Sophie Neill the
people of Shelbyville have been at
work trying to thoroughly establish
her identity. This they have succeed
ed in doing. Miss Neill was the
daughter of a gallant confederate
officer and is highly related in both
Shelhyville and this city.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Elder E. B. Cayce, Franklin, Tenn:

In tho fall of 1895 | was talsen with a
severe attack of rheumatism. After
trying many kinds of medicine without
apprecable benefit, l was advised to try
the virtue of a change to Southern
climate, spen ling two and one-half
months at Waco, Texas, taking the hot
water and vapor baths at the Padget
Park Natatorium, the treatment being
the rame as that of Hot Springs | also
took the most approved electrical treat
ment. This change and treatment ie-
suited in but slight improvement. After
few days at home | went to the Red
Boiling Springs for month, but was
not helped thereby. Immediately after
returning home | became bedfast and
for five months was not able to sit up
an hour, nor even to be propped up for my
meals. Was unable to turn myself in
bed, or to remain upon either side for
any length of time. The six months
that | was confined to my room I suf-
fered greatly, was reduced to almost a
skeleton.
During the whole of this time | re-
ceived the best medical attendance pos
sible to be obtained, trying the allo
pathic, electric and homeopathic schools
in turn. The sickness resulted in cur
Nature of the spine which my physicians
said was incurable. was slowly vast
ing to the grave, with no hope from
medicine of cure.
Finally was IL duced to go as a last
resort to the Osteopaths. | had to be
carried like babe to and from the
train and carriage and to my room. For
two months had to be treated in my
room, after this becoming alb to go in
rolling chair to the Osteopaths for
treatment, but had to be lifted to the
chair and to the operating table.
When asked by what means am re-
stored to health, answer, by the grace
of God and the Science of Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a science based upon the
physiological laws of the human or.
ganism. There is no Christian science
faith cure, or electrical hoodooism about
it. After experiencing it's benefits, and
witnessing it's wonderful achievements
in many other old chronic cases and in
the various kinds of diseases, | un-
hesitatingly recommend and endorse
Osteopathy and advise all who are
afflicted to visit for examination and ad
vice, your Osteopath.
Do not hesitate because the best M
d. in the world may say that your case
is hopeless, for the hopeless cases such
as my own are being cured all the time.
