Warello, Iowa. Sept. 18th Especially
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County lis
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart OF this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit

and could not walk across the room.

by her equally well-known poodle.
The dog was running about from table

and presently, when it returned to its
mistress, she was astonished to see
written on its back in red chalk:
