SHE DID NOT FEAR DEATH.

An old lady on her seventy-third
birthday once said: 81 do not mind
getting old, and ! do not fear death,
but l live in constant dread of paral-
ysis."
For some time have been wanting
to tell you of the great good your won
derful Sloan's Linimept is doing here, -
writes Mr. James F.. Abernethy, of
Rutherford College, N. G. In fact,
all your remedies are doing noble
work, but your Liniment beats all. In
my eight years experience with medi'
cine find none to go ahead of it,
having tried it in very many cases.
I know of one young man, a brick ma
son, who suffered from a partial, yes,
almost complete, paralysis of one arm.
got him to use your Liniment, and
now he can do as much work as ever,
and he sings your praise every day.
| get all to use it l possibly can and
know there Is great virtue in it.
have helped the sale of your noble
remedies about here greatly, and ex'
pect to cause many more to buy them
as l know they can't be beat"

so very, very good to come back to
Iowa; 1t is a great state; 1t has a
great people; its early history is an
epoch; its men in the days of the war
were heroes of the type that the world
will find much difficulty in matching.
We hold it our highest honor, my wife
and l, and our daughter. to be count
ed worthy Of citizenship on Iowa lines.
And wherever we go we are always
ready to sing along with Major Byers:
You ask what land l love the best?
Iowa 'tris Iowa.
The fairest state of all the West,
Iowa, o Iowa.
From beyond the Mississippfs stream
To where Missouri's waters CLEAN,
o, fair it is as poets dream,
Iowa, in Iowa.
See yonder flows the tassaled corn,
Iowa, in Iowa.
Where plenty fills her golden horn,
Iowa, in Iowa!
See how her wondrous prairies shine
In yonder sunsets purpling line,
o happy landi o land of mine!
Iowa, o Iowa'
Now just another word. One OF
the gratifying things is to see how the
business institutions of the town and
county have fallen into the hands of
the younger men; boys who, when we
went away, used to wear knee breeches
and go toddling along like kids of the
day and occasionally heaving snow
ball with irreverent but good-natured
hands, with myself inviting the con.
test. It is gratifying, / say, to see
these young men doing the business of
the community and doing it SO splen-
didly and so successfully. One may
well take that as a complete warrant
for the future welLbeing of the old
town of 'Tailholt' and County of Ma
haska and this great State of Iowa,
in whose history we bury our hearts
and all our affections Keep things
doing and above all keep the lamp of
hope going at about ninety candle
power. Goodbye"
