an trouble,
writes Mrs.
E.Waitc, of
Chicago, Ills.
( Lake View
Postoffice.")
"Sometimes I
amid hardly
walk, and
when I had to
cohrIi it felt
as though a
knife was cut
ting me. My
hands and feet'
were cold all
tho time. I
had such a tired feeling and such
a poor appetite, and when I went to
bed I slept only about two hours at
a time. I got a bottle of ' Favorite
Prescription and by the time I had
used two bottles I felt so" much
better that I continued until I had
taken eight liottles of 'Favorite
Prescription' and one of 'Golden
Medical Discovery,' and now I am
so well that my friends remark how
well I am looking. I go to bed now
and sleep till morning. My appe
tite is splendid and that tired feel
ing has left me. I hope others
will do bs I did give Dr. Piexce'a
medicines a fair trirX"

Mentally weakened by drugs he had been
using to keep life In his body and urged to
a state of desperation by the hopeless suf
fering ho had undergone for months, H. D,
Leonard of 1901 Holmes strcst shot himself
with a revolver this morning. The bullet
penetrated the brain and emerged In the
back of tho head. Within half an hour
ho expired. Death from natural causes
would have been but n matter of a few days.
Mr. Leonard has been afflicted with a
bronchial trouble whlih contracted the
muscles of his neck until breathing was
almost an Impossibility. Ho lived In an
almost continual state of semi-suffocation
and with each succeeding day he grew
worse. Morphine and strychnine were ad
mlnUtcred In large doses for the purpose of
relaxing the binding cords which shut out
tho supply of air. No hope was held out
for his recovery and gradually, almost Im
perceptibly, It seemed, his mind was bo
comlng affected by the use of the drugs.
This morning Mr. Leonard must have
reached the limit of suffering. He was ly
ing on a couch In the sitting room of his
home, struggling for breath. His mouth
was continually parched and Ice water was
kept at his side. About 10 o'clock the Ico
melted and calling his little son Morton
bo tent the lad Into the back yard to re
plenish the supply. No one elso was in the
Immediate vicinity,
Rising from his placo lu tho living room
Mr. Leonard must have proceeded to the
bedroom. Lying on the dresser wai a 32-
callber Smith & Wesson revolver. Reclin
ing upon the bed he raised the weapdn to
tho center of his forehead, Tho
report which followed was heard by
the neighbors. Rushing into the room
they found the man lying quietly on the
counterpane- ot the bed with a stream of
blood trickling from the wound In front
and another from the wound behind. Med
ical aid was promptly summoned, but he
was beyond human help.
For almost two years Mr. Leonard has
been a victim of tho affliction which drove
him to take his own life. When first at
tacked he was a farmer about six miles
south ot the city. Last September, how
ever, ho removed to the homo of his step
daughter, Miss Dora G. Bachcllcr, and has
slnco resided with her.
Fourteen years ago Mr. Leonard came to
Nebraska from Canton, N. v., and settled
on tho farm whero ho spent tho rest of his
days before removing to the city. He had
been married twice, his second wife dying
a year ago last January. Two children of
his own survivo him. Clinton D., who Is
employed at the Havelock shops, and Mor
ton, a child by his second marriage and of
tender years. Besides these Is the daughter
of his first wife, Dora G. Ilachcller. Mr,
Leonard was 60 yeors of age.

Insurance of druggists against damago
suits for mistakes In compounding Is pro
posed, nnd It Is said that the moving cause
Is a systematic attempt by some graceless
persons to blackmail them. If the pre
scription U so plainly written that correct
reading is certain (which Is often not so),
it would appear that thcro Is very little
room for discretion on the part of a drug
clerk, lie has no Information nbout thu
use Intended, and even If he happened to
know that a child was In the rase and
if the Indicated dose seemed to him large,
he could not Intervene; if the prescribed
order Is clearly dangerous he should do-
cllno to fill It, hut up to that degree of
danger ho Is only an agent. Insuring
physicians against malpractice cults seems
moro practical In meeting a need, but
certainly moro troublesome In carrying out.
Who shall decide what malpractice Is and
when it occurs? One Is reminded of the
story of the physician who whh railed to
a rich woman, the husband remarking that
he should be paid whether he cured her or
whether he killed her; she died and the
bill was evaded by two unanswerable ques
tions: "Did you cure my wife? Did you
kill her?"
Insurance of druggists or ot physicians,
ns proposed, will be one form of "liabil
ity;" the company writing tho policy will
have to defend the case, -The results In
practice will bo Interesting to note and the
flexibility of application In tho Insurance
principle U again illustrated.

on "Systematic Benevolence" as follows:
Talk about Christian beneficence. It Is a
sham nnd i fraud too much like giving a
donation to n minister when the church
owes him ten times us much as they do
nate. It Is robbery In the name of charity.
With our entire Protestant church mem
bership of over 13.000.000 wo owe tho Lord
$107,228,670 a year nnd $4,O72,2S6.70O for the
decude. but wo give only one-sixth of those
nmounts, which leaves us with the fearful
debt of $339,357,225 n year, or $3,393,572,250 for
