HOW She FOOLED THE DOCTOR

Three years ago my little girl, An
gela, was taken sick with scarlet few
er and later dropsy set in; her face
and limbs swelled and her eyes puff
fed. A leading physician here at the
time, treated her without the slight
est success. A sample of your Swamp
Root having been left at the house at
the time, resolved to try it, and as
it agreed with her stomach / continu-
ed using it with grateful results. The
Inflammation began to subside after
she had taken the first fifty-cent bot
tie, and after she took two large bot
ties she was pronounced cured by the
doctor and has been in good health
ever since. The doctor came to see
her every day and examined her
every second day until he pronounced
her kidneys in perfect condition.
No, then the doctor was under the
impression that l was giving my girl
his medicine, but as his medicine
had failed to do bit of good, and
desiring not to offend him, l did not
tell him | was giving her Swamp
Root and he did not know the differ

Many incidents in the Mexican war

lives. The story is stirring one.

of devotion and solemnity pervaded
the congregation.
This was the fourth installation
of Il pastor of the Presbyterian
Church here, the first being Rev.
Amos Rodgers In 1874. From his
time on the ministers of this church

good work before him.
