panion was a fox terrier of unusu
al intelligence. Mrs. Elizabeth
Broadhead, Mrs. Cobus’s mother,
says her daughter went nut into
the kitchen about 7 o’clock. A
few moments later Mrs. Broad-
head heard the dog barking ex^
citedly. The mother ran out and
found her daughter lying on the
floor. She knew it was an epilep
tic attack, and, dashing a pitcher
of water into her daughter’s face,
she ran into the hall and screamed
for help.
Philip Rockefeller, living near
by, heard her and ran to her assis
tance. They went into the room
where Mrs/ Cobus ;lay and there
saw a horrifying spectacle. The
pet terrier, seeing its mistress in
agony, appears to have gone mad.
He flew at the prostrate woman as
she writhed on the floor and re
peatedly attacked her, burying its
teeth in her throat and severing
the jugular vein. When Rocke
feller tried to tear the mad dog
away it clung to the dying woman
with terrible tenacity. He finally
got the animal loose. It then at-
tacked the mother and the mail,
but they beat it off.
A physician was summoned, but
Mrs. Cobus had bled to death.
The dog disappeared in the streets.
Isaac Brock, a citizen of McLennan
county, Texas, has lived Ill years.
He now lives with ids ' son-in-law at
Valley Mills, Texas*
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr. Brock says:
“After a man has lived in the
world as long as 1 have, he ought
to have found out a great many
things by experience;
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly to the affects of
the climate.
“During my long life / have
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, catarrh and diarr
hoea. / had always supposed
these affections to be different dis
eases, but in reading Dr. Hart
man's books I have found out that
these affections are the same add
that they are properly called ca
tarrh.
“I had several long sieges with
the grip. At first I did not know
that Peruna was a retdedy for this
disease. When / heard that la
grippe was epidemic catarrh, I
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found it to be Just the thing. '
“As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, 1 have found it to be the
best, if not the only, reliable rem
edy for these affections. It has
been my standby for mahy years,
and I attribute my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
Very truly yours,
