Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy

has been a real blessing to our home, and
while it is not liking cure-all" as some
one quantity puts it, it is wonderful
medicine. In 1901 there was an epidemic
of typhoid fever in this village-two of
our boys (aged 6 and 8 years respectively
were stricken. We gave the Remedy
three times daily, doubling or trebling
the dose when the temperature went be-
low normal No other stimulant was used.
Patients were dieted and nursed carefully,
and though one of them was very sick, a
physician was called in only four times
in the fourteen weeks. The after effect
was splendid, each patient rapidly gained
strength and within two weeks after leav-
ing his cot, was able to go to the Sunday
school. We owe much to Mrs Joe Persons
Remedy.
About four years ago scrofulitis devel-
oped in one of our children (neither of the
above). The childs life was despaired of
for long while, the mere touching of the
affected limb producing agony. After four
months of lowering, apparently over the
brink of the grave, we began to use Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy with the consent of
our physician. Slowly the blood began
to get purer, in four months lump as
large as an egg passed down the leg, stop
ping above the knee. The doctor lanced
the place, then came no more. This open
ing remained for two years, during which
time both Wash and Remedy were daily
used, the boy growing hearty and healthy.
At the end of this time he began to try
to walk Walked on "all fours'' for a
year, then on his feet for the past year.
But he had grown crooked-pitifully So
Had him examined by one of Richmond,
Vas best physicians, who said he was
in splendid condition, and would only
need mechanical treatment. Until l get
him straight continue to give him the
medicine he has been taking" This was
done, and in January the little fellow went
to the Retreat for the sick, Richmond,
Va, for this mechanical treatment. In
April he returned to Hasty straight. In
all these years not one drop of medicine
except Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. AS a
blood purifier its value is lin my opinion)
priceless. cannot, in view of all it has
done for us withhold this testimony.

DR.. Robin yesterday explained at
length why 1t is impossible TO sink
artesian wells in wilmington. He did
not state. however whether it is pos
sible to sink such wells in the terri
tory adjacent to the city. DR.. Robin
is doubtless perfectly honest in his
convictions. but he has shown such
an eagerness to defend every act Of
the commission that many persons
will not be satisfied until other ex-
pert opinion is called for.
Then Commissioner Ford entered
into an extended explanation 10 show
that the commission was justified in
paying the sand Filtration Company
$4,000 on account. But he admitted
that the injunction which prevented the
payment Of the check has induced the
contracting company to make certain
| important concessions. 1t agrees to
carry out its promise TO put up bonds
insuring the different items Of it's con-
tract II also agrees in the event OF
its securing the contract for the con-
struction of the plant to rebate the
fifteen per cent. II was TO have foi
plans and patents. The commission
did not secure these concessions. bu
three citizens with the aid Of tn
court did.
The commission has made anothe
move that would fiji us with alarr

ApplcKs IN LITERATURE.

d. ]. Layton, Senator Allee's secre-
sary. has contributed story TO the
September "Pearsons." entitled. THE
Deadlock" We don't care 20 discuss
this from the standpoint OF a literary
venture. but II one imagines that any
thing like an accurate account Of the
Delaware senatorial fight is to be had
I'm this story he viii find himself mis-
taken. The scene is laid in a country
capitalize legislature in session-the
cannon on the green. This undoubtedly
Is Dover. But that Is the extent Of the
local color.
The plot is hastily sketched out-for
four years there has been a deadlock
and the state has been without Sem
ator. John Allison is the promising
candidate, lacking only one vote OF an
election. Finally in the last paragraph
