There was a mark on his foot by one tush j ftln ut an inch 1-ong, mid about threesfourths from that there was a little hole mado by the end of the other tush, which he showed me. Ho said it bled some but tho gash was not deep, lie said he cut the snake’s head off or mashed it to pieces and then took a piece, split it open and applied it to the place, and it actually drew all tho poison out, which could he seen as it wa's coming, lie also drank a little dewberry wine and got well at once. tic said it did not make him Very sick. Bo yon see that there is a remedy for snake bites other than corn juice. Isn’t that good for us poor folks who can’t get $2.00 to givu for a gallon? Thank God for the cheaper and bet- ter remedy. Meetinghouse folks can he cured of -make bites now J without being turned out of the church for drunkennes. 1 heard the Rev. Edward L. of a (Stephens, who lived and died in coffin | White county, tell of a man he knew once who sworo off from drinking in the year 1848 for life unless in case of snake biles. In four weeks afterwards Mr. Steph ens was riding by tho sworn off man’s house and saw him roaming about through briar thickets and grassy places and when the preacher asked him what he meant he said, “1 am hunting, a snake” What for, have you seen one?” en quired the preacher. “No, but I am starving for a dram and I have got to lie snake bitten before 1 can get it. 1 thought this would t)o a good place to get bitten.” So you see how it is. Some men had rather take their cbanc- ces for life with the poison of snake infused in their system to do without their dram. The Bible tolls us that wine mocker and strong drink is ing and whosoever is thereby is not wise. 222 South Peoria St., Chicago, 111., Oct. 7, 1902. ’ Eight months ago I was bo ill > that I was compelled to lio or pit down nearly all the time. My stomach was bo weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I . could not urinate without great pain and I coughed bo much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. Tho doctors pro nounced it Bright’s disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. Ibelievemany women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don’t you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to- be well. You do not need to he a weak, helpless sufferer. Yon can have a woman’s health and do a woman's work in life. Why not Secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui 1 from your druggist to day ? once The other kills, vi 11 do it. J. N. Austin Several petitions were presented to the body, nskrtig for a reduction in the valuation of their city property. An error was shown to have been made against the Crown Mountain Co. to the amount of $1,900, which was rectified. The valuation against the Consolidated Co., Hull estate and W. W.
