A Tiuht Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May IIth-To be
snatched from the very brink Of the
grave is a somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and one which Mrs. NJ o.
Garrett Of this place has Just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
bro-Spinal affection. and had been
treated BY the best physicians. but
without the slightest improvement
For the last twelve months two
doctors were in constant attendance
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till she could not walk. and
did not have any power TO move at
all.
She was so low that for the great
er part Of the time she was perfectly
unconscious Of what was going on
about her, and her heart-broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death
The doctors had given ND all hope
and no one thought she could pos
sibly live
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for a box Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. II
was a last hope. but happily It did
not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used IN al six boxes
Of the remedy. and is completely
cured She says:

feel as well as ever I did DOdd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from
