No Poison In ohamperlaiR.s Cough


From Napier New Iceland, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New South Wales, Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out Of the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlains Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, U. S. A..
The absence of all narcotics makes
this remedy the safest and best that
can be had; and it is with a feeling of
security that any mother can give 1t
to her little ones. Chamberlains y
Cough Remedy is especially recon-
mended by its makers for coughs, colds
and whooping cough. When taken in
time it prevent pneumonia. This rem
edY is for sale by Shuttleworth Drug

OBITUARY.

Mary Ratz was born December 26,
1885, and in early infancy baptized
and brought to Christ. She attended
the public school from her 9th to 18th
year of age. In the winter of 1901
she was instructed in the German
Parochial school in christian truth
and christian life and was confirmed
March "a, 1901. 1t was a heartbreak-
ing affiiction to her, that her father
died shortly before that great day OF
her life, February 26, 1901. This death
of her father and also the death of her
grand parents in 1902, and 1904, direct
ed her thoughts to our eternal hom-
in heaven. So when dreadful sick
ness had developed in her that could
not be cured by the skill of the doc
tors, she clung to her Saviour and
united with him IN the holy commun-
ion and prayed for a blessed end. She
died Tuesday, November l, 1904, and
was laid to rest in New Oregon ceme-
terry, Friday November A, 1904, Rev.
@. Niedermeier, her pastor, conduct
ing the funeral service. She was a
true christian maiden, true daugh-
ter to her mother, a beloved sister,
esteemed by all who knew her. May
she rest in peace till the great day OF
resurrection. ~

why. there are manifestations of
God all about you, =" suggested one of
the young men. Again kenfro scotfed.
Fellows, !" he said, If God would
demonstrate Himself to me in some
way-if, for instance, He should strike
me deaf or dumb, or blind, 1 might
admit His existence. -
With the words ON his lips the young
man turned pale, his arms shot out in
front of him, and his lips began to
move convulsively, hut no sound pro-
ceeded from them. He began beating
his ears with his hands and the next
instant he fell face forward on the
floor unconscious.
In alarm his companions sent for
physician. Renfro was restored to
consciousness without much difficulty. |
but 1t was then discovered that he |
was stone deaf and unable to utter
sound.
DR.. o. G. Draper diagnosed the case
as one Of nervous attack, but though !
Renfro gradually regained his strength,
the use Of his faculties appeared to be |
shattered, and it was decided to send |
him here to his mother.
The silence which surrounded HIM
everywhere turned his thoughts in
ward. and he mad not been here a day
before he penned a request for Bible.
Since then he has been devoting his
time to the study of the Scriptures.
