Waterloo Woman Seems to
Possess Somewhat of Mag
netic Healing Powers
Observation-Disclosures NoPAY
Says the Gift of Curing illness by the
Touch Of Her Hands, Was Freely
Given Her, and She Wishes to Help
Others in the Same Way = Has
Effected Many Cures.

Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 6.-Mrs NJ. L. South
wick, living at the corner of Lincoln
and Center streets is gradually finding
herself besieged by sick persons who
desire that she cure them by the laying
en- of hands. She possesses some pc
culiar power over disease which she
attributes to magnetism and which she
discovered by accident and has by con-
slant study developed to good use. She
is lady Of more than ordinary intelli-
gence and freely confesses that the
power comes from some source which
she is unwilling to call divine inspira-
ton altho she says she is guided entire
ly by instinct In effecting her cures. She
formerly lived In Wavsrly and it was
there five years ago that she discovered
her power when she cured Mrs. Her.
man Miller OF that place Of a serious
throat affection by the laying on of her
hands to the affected part. She has
lived here about year and during
this period has cured many people of
different diseases. She says when she
is in the presence of sick person
she experiences peculiar sensation
in her hands and fingers and can not
resist the inclination to place her hands
upon the afflicted person which invari-
ably brings relief for the sufferer. SO
successful has she been that her friends
and those whom she has cured have
urged her to rent an Office and enter
the profession as magnetic healer.
For her services she has so far made
no charge as she says the gift was
freely given to her and she feels that
she dare not accept money from it's
distribution OF comfort to others. She
has more success treating children then
old persons and several remarkable
cures in her immediate neighborhood
are attributed to her skill. In one case
she treated a patient under the obser-s
walton of the family physician who had
failed to conquer the disease. He ac-
the improved condition Of
the patient after several treatments
and there has been no return OF the
trouble.

eunshot Wound May Be Fatal.

Des Moines, Jan. 6.-The unidenti-
fled desperate who was shot while
robbing p Sullivan at Hamilton, Fri-
day night, is in jail in Knoxville, and
is so seriously injured that 1t is feared
he will die. There are signs of blood
poison from the wound in his face. He
has refused to give his name, and still
maintains that he was merely passing
the house when the two men pressed
him into their service. But he was a
total stranger in that part of the state
and there is no doubt expressed that he
has been the real leader of the gang.
The other two men have not been
found.

WORTH KNOWING
AZ This Season Of the Year.

U
Any cough accompanied by expec-
toration which lasts over three or four
days requires attention and treatment;
this does not mean visit to the hos
pital. nor to your physician nor whole
sale drugging with patent medicines;
but 1t means that some simple, harm
less, effective, anti-septic remedy like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets should be
used to ward off any possible termi11a-
ton in pneumonia, chronic catarrh,
bronchitis or consumption.
All of these formidable diseases start
from a common cold, neglected or al
lowed to run it's course and 1t is only
the exercise of common every day eau
ton to cure a cold as quickly as posi-
BILE, not so much for what 1t is at the
moment. but what 1t may become If
neglected.
Perhaps no remedy is so safe, reliable
and convenient to stop a cold or obsti-
nate cough as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
The extract of blood root contained in
them combined with the red gum of the
eucalyptus tree seem to put the mucous
membrane Of the nose, mouth and
throat in condition to throw off the
germs of catarrh, bronchitis and con-
SUMPTION and as they are taken inter-
nally they seem to equalize the circula-
tion and place the body in that, condi-
ton of health which resists and throws
off the germs Of disease.
A person in perfect health rarely
catches cold, and II he does throws it
on In day or two, but, where the cold
hangs on, stopping up the nostrils, irri-
tating the throat or there is a persist
ent, annoying cough it is evident that
the system for some reason is unable to
throw Non the disease germs which
cause the trouble; little assistance is
necessary, and this is best given by the
use of some harmless germ destroying
anti-septic like Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's which are also palatable and
equally so for children and adults.
Druggists sell these tablets at so
certs for the full-sized package, higher
In price than troches and cheap cough
syrups, but Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
contain anti-septic properties which
actually cure colds, catarrh and throat
and lung troubles while 1t is notori~
GUS fact that cough drops and cough
syrups are largely composed OF opium,
cocaine and similar drugs that have no
curative power.
It is also true that many popular liq-
uid medicines and tonfcs for catarrh
depend upon the alcohol they contain,
which gives simply a temporary stimu-
iation of no real benefit for any trouble,
catarrhal or otherwise.

Coal Company of Beacon, Iowa, one of

A bit of good fortune has come to one
of our townsmen that is a matter of
concentration for himself. Some two

Saun lost a draft as he was passing up
Main street and as the wind was blow
ing at tremendous gale he thought
1t was gone for sure. Unfortunately
the draft had been endorsed which adj
ded to his anxiety. Last Tuesday. Hans
Peterson found the bit of valuable pa
per and took it to Miss Bolton at the
Western Union Telegraph Office, and
she told him to return it to Mr.. Van
Saun. 1t was draft for 5000 and had
been carried by the wind from up or
Main street down to the race bridge,
and just happened to be picked up By
