It Is now nine years since l took the James treatment. When went to the James Sanatorium at Memphis, Tenn, for treatment I was full of dope and without 'hope;' since taking the treatment, I am full Of hope and free from dope I was advised not to take any treatment and was told there was no cure for me. and that to take treat ment of any kind would be throwing money away. I theeefore went to the James Sanatorium as the court of last resort. When I presented myself for treatment my legs and feet were so terribly swollen that almost anyone would have pronounced it a case of "elephantitis." During the treatment I can truthfully say there was not one day that l was as uncomfortable as I was when my system was loaded with sixty grains of morphia and one pint of whisky, which was my daily allow ance previous to the treatment. Since leaving your Sanatorium nine years ago l have been daily engaged in busi- ness, and at no time have l ever wanted "a drink or dope and consequently have not taken either. My health is per feet. I now weigh 150 pounds and en- joy every day of my life. I feel I owe my life to you and your remedies, be- lieye that you and your Sanatorium are doing more for suffering humanity than any other institution of the kind on earth. I am, as you will see from the letter-head, a merchant in this city. and I believe I have the respect of my townsmen and enjoy good credit.
 Hoping that this letter will induce some poor unfortunate to come to you for relief, and wishing you continued

Kills Herself.

Mrs Frank T'ussie of South Bessemer committed suicide at an early hour this morning by taking carbolic acid At the time of her death she was visiting her brother, Cliff Penn, at Bedding sta- ton.
 Mrs. Tussie had been staying with her parents, MT. and Mrs. Robert Penn in South Bessemer, but left there yesterday and stated that she was going out to ago Mrs. Tussie who was a Miss Penn, married Frank Tussie, who is we'll known in the city, he having served some time as street foreman. About six months ago they were divorced and since that time Mrs. Tussie has been staying with her parents.
 Mrs. Tussie was well known here and had number of friends, who were shock ed to hear of her untimely end. The deed was committed at an early hour and she lived for about five hours. When she was discovered by member of her brothers family she was at the point or death and physician was hurriedly sum moned. Everything that could be done was done. but she died shortly after the physician reached the house. It appears that ever since she separated from her husband she has been gloomy and mo- rose and it is understood that she had said on more than one occasion that she intended killing herself.
 The funeral arrangements have been made and the funeral will take place from the house of her father at East Bessemer tomorrow afternoon and will be in charge of Kennedy Bros. The in- torment will be at Union cemetery.

SENSATION IN COURT.
Woman Denies That She Ever Was
 Married to Cant.

Bellvilie. H., February 12.-During the trial in the circuit court today of Clyde Cant, charged with the murder of Henry Dickerman, whom Cant accused of hav- ing maintained improper relations with his wife, and who pleaded the "unwritten law in his defense, a sensation was cre- ated by the supposed wife of Cant She was the only witness to the killing. Talk ing her place on the stand she said: T am not the wife of Clyde Cant My name is Cora Simpson. We were together a year and a half, but we were never mar ried'
 The statement was a bombshell to the defense. The provision of the law making it illegal for wife to testify against her husband had been relied upon by the de- fense. Cant followed Dickerman and the reputed Mrs. Cant last Thanksgiving night. A fight ensued and Dickerman was stabbed to death.
