squeezed all the blood he could out
of the two punctures which the
fangs had made. Then he opened a
cash, cutting through the two
wounds and letting out the blood and
poison. He cut piece of flesh out
of the wound. Mccormick used his
handkerchief for bandages and then
tied his leg just above the knee to
stop the poison from working thru
his system.
Mccormick was miles from any
settlement where he could secure
medical attention, so he started back
to Grapeland. His leg pulsated with
pain and he soon became deathly
sick. In his weakened condition he
was compelled to rest on the road
time and again. When he finally
reached home he was almost ex-
hausted and his leg was dreadfully
swollen and almost black.

means to build brick, as was re-
quired by the adopted law. The coun-
Gil attentively heard the plea of the
''smithy.' then with cold-blooded
reconciliation told the applicant
that he could either build brick
house or move out of the fire limits.
To move meant greater loss than a
fire, and the "smithy' borrowed
money and built a brick building,
and today he thanks the administra-
ton that made him do it. That is the
way one administration looked after

Hood & Curtin make this square
deal offer because they are authoriz-
ed to do SO by the makers of Mi-o-na
tablets, and they are willing to have
this statement appear in this paper.
And while it may be that there
are about s cases in 100 that are too
far gone for Mi-o-na to cure, we are
willing and ready to take all the
chances, and if Mona does not
cure, any dyspeptic can have his
money back.
Even with this liberal offer Hood
& Curtin will not have to refund but
a very small percentage, because the
8 incurable dyspeptics will find SO
much relief in Mi-o-na that they will
once again look upon the sunny side
of life. and will continue to use Mi
o-na.
Now, reader, you may say how
can the makers of Mi-o-na make
such an offer? How do they know
that 80 per cent of the users will
be cured, and that the other per
cent. or the incura bles, will be re-
lieyed?
Why, it's all very simple We've
made the same offer in 1000 towns
before we made it here and we have
figured out the per centages, so that
when we make the statement we
know it to be absolutely true.
