BOYS HEROIC ACT.
Runs Onto a Bridge I'm Face of APP
preaching Train TO Save Child.

Waterloo, Iowa, April 10. The
bridge of the Illinois Central belt line
was the scene of an act of heroism
on the part of an eight-year-old boy
that saved the life of a little play
mate. The two boys had been play
ing on the tracks and the younger Of
the two walked out on the bridge
just as the west-bound passenger
train swung around the curve near
by. 1t was too late to r. treat or reach
the other end of the bridge. and the
older lad ran out, seized the boy and
jumped to the ground twelve feet be-
low, just as the engine struck the
bridge. The boys were uninjured.

pound of Seven Cures with such good re-

who was taken with typhoid fever about
two years ago. The disease settled IN one
of his legs, causing enlargement of the en-
tire limb, which resulted in a feVer-run-
ming sore, rendering the leg entirely use
less. The doctors tried to cure it, but had
no success, and they advised him that his
leg would have to be amputated. Then l
urged him to give the Seven Cures a fair
trial and accordingly he commenced TAX

months. He is well and hearty to-day and
his leg is just as sound as ever.
