A LAVvTEJft TESTIFIES
HOODS SARSAPARILLA PURIFIES
AND ENRICHES THE BLOOD
Always Accomplinhcs tbe Iesnta for
Vrhicli It Io Intended
A lawyer certainly understands the
Value of testimony in establishing a
fact The letters written by those who
have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla
have over and over again proved the
case for this great medicine This
testimony lias shown so many times
that Hoods Sarsaparilla cures when all
other medicines fail that Hoods Sar
saparilla is entitled to the verdict The
One True Blood Purifier P M Bu
chanan Esq Rochester Intl has been
indue practice of law since 1SS3 and is
well known at the Fulton County bar
He says
We have taken several bottles or
Hoods Sansnparilla in our family dur
ing the past year and have been very
much pleased with its results I have
taken it as a blood purifier and my wife
has used it for the same purpose When
ever we feel badly we resort to Hoods
Sarsaparilla and it always seems to ac
complish the result lor which it is in
tended My wife was feeling very bad
ly and
Had That Tired Fcelihjr
and she took Hoods Sarsaparilla with
benefit When we take Hoods Sarsapa
rilla the impurities of the blood are
often forced through the skin by erup
tions but by continuing the use of
Hoods Sarsaparilla the blood becomes
purified and the skin returns to its nor
mal condition Hoods Sarsaparilla al
ways seems to cleanse the blood and
we hold it in verj high esteem as a
blood purifier P M Buchanan Esq

That in a serious burn as soon as the
fire is extinguished the clothing must
be removed
That if not already thoroughly wet
the injured part should be drenched
with water and the clothes cut away
That everything must be sacrificed
to get them off without pulling as the
slightest dragging may bring the skin
too
That if patches of clothing adhere and
will not drop off they must be allowed
to remain for a time
That in case of fire and severe burns
much can be done to relieve the suf
ferer before the arrival of a physician
That cloths should be dipped in a
thick solution of common baking soda
in water and laid over the burned sur
face bandaging them over lightly to
keep them in place
That as soon as a dry spot appears on
this dressing it must be wet with the
soda and water by squeezing some on
it and there will be no smarting while
it is saturated and the air is excluded
That if a rubber sheet is not at hand
a piece of thin oilcloth a gossamer
cloak or any water proof article should

Removed His Adams Apple
An exceedingly rare and delicate op
eration was performed last week at the
Bridgeport Hospital on the throat of
Earl S Wood an old resident of the
city in the hope of prolonging his life
The operation consisted of the removal
of Adams apple from the throat The
operation was necessitated by the
growth of a tumor on the larynx which
although it was discovered less than
two weeks ago developed with won
derful rapidity and had it not been re
moved would in the course of less than
six months have resulted in the death
of the patient The operation was suc
cessful but Mr Wood will be perma
nently deprived of the power of speech

The Hardest of Cements
The hardest of all cements is that
known as Portland cement which wlien

stone from which the most magnificent
structures in England have been erec

Aspden a mason of Leeds

An Old Soldier Tells His Tale
From the American Xcicark Ohio
Mr William Winpigler was one of the
early settlers of Jasper County Iowa Mini
no man is better known in the vicinity of
Colfax or more respected When the civil
war was raging he took the field with his
comrades of the Forty eighth Iowa and
while serving his country contracted
which assumed the chronic form
and seemed to affect his entire body The
following is his own account of his suffer
ing ami cure
Colfax Iowa July 31 1S9B
I contracted rheumatism during iny
anny service which I could not get rid of
and it became worse and worse until I
was able to do no labor whatever and
eventually I thought I had not long to
live as my heart was so affected I was
in a very desponding condition as my
worldly affairs were going from bad to
worse when in one of our papers I read of
a man who described himself as having
been even worse than I was1 and who had
been cured by the use of Dr Williams
Pink Pills I procured some and
1 had not taken the contents of one box
when my heart trouble disappeared but I
continued to take the pills and soon found
my rheumatism was being rapidly cured
1 no longer suffer any rheumatic pain
and I think my cure was a wonderful
one after all those years of suffering I
have recommended them to everyone af
llicted as J was and the result is that all
the drug stores in Colfax now keep them
and sell a great many and others have
been benefited as I was For a man of
my age I am 70 I am as active as I can
be more so perhaps than many younger
persons who never were crippled with
rheumatism The above is a true state
ment of fact WM WINPIGLER

A Curious Accident
A curious accident occurred recently
at Calais France It appears that while
a huge boiler was being drawn through
the streets by sixteen horses the up
per portion of it came in contact with
overhead electric light wires breaking
them Some of the wires caught on
the boiler and the framework of the
truck and in an instant all the hordes
were knocked down Several of them
were killed The men engaged in trans
porting the boiler received violent
shocks from the effects of which some
of them died The accident caused
consternation among the onlookers
