Lenn, col., dashed a rock into a

Lesson from a Mastodon.
The tusks of a mastodon recently
found in Illinois weighed 175 pounds
each. What a gigantic toothache
that animal must have been capable
of having! And such neuralgia!
Neuralgia, or nerve ache, generally
proceeds from a disordered condition
of the blood. Brown’s Iron Bitters
enriches and purifies this and drives
neuralgia out. Mr. W. W Redman,
Piqua, O., says, “Brown’s Iron Bit¬
ters permanently cured me of neu¬
ralgia.”
The smallpox is still slaying sores
of people in Canada, and it is more
than probable that it will scourge a
number of the cities of our country
before the winter is over.

Conyers, Ga., Nov. 6th 1885.
An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepard, of Harrisburg,
III. , says: “Having received so
much benefit from Electric Bitters,
I feel it my duty to let suffering
humanity know it. Have had a run
ning sore on my leg for eight years;
my doctor told me I would have to
have the bone scraped or leg ampu¬
tated. I used, instead, three bot¬
tles of Electric Bitters and seven
boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and
my leg is now sound and well.”
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty
cents a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve at 25c. per box by Dr. W. II.
Lee.
WHATAW0SDEE,
What a wonder I have been to -
many, as well as to myself.
This being m3' birth day 20th of
Sep1.18837T thought JTwouid liave
preached a sermon, but, being dis¬
appointed, I thought I would write
a short piece. To think God. ac¬
cording to his purpose, on the 20th
of Sept., 1806, I was born of the
flesh, whose goodness and mercy
has been extended to me all my life.
About the last of Aug. or the 1st of
Sept. 1820, I was bora of the spirit.
I hope when God did reveal to me
God did love me iu his Son
before tile world began, and
1 the seal of this received,
When on Jesus I believed.'
Wliat a wonder that I so vile a
should be beloved so. On
19th clay of Sept. 1829, I gave to
church a reason of my hope in
and would have been born of
water on my birth day the 20lh
Sept. 1829, if the minister had
been sick. For that reason it
postponed a month, I can say
David, God is my strong ref¬
uge; let my mouth be filled with
praise and thy honor, all my
Cast me not off in time of old
forsake me not when my
strength faileth. Now also when I
am old and gray headed, O God, for
sake me not, until I have showed thy
strength unto this generation and
thy power unto every one that is to
come. O God, thou hast taught me
from my youth and hitherto have I
declared tu / wondrous works and
th}' salvation and thy power to save
thy people. Thou hast done great
things for me, whereof I am glad.
The Lord has blessed me in my sev¬
enty-ninth year with the privilege
of baptizing twelve into the fellow¬
ship of the church. I hope the
Lord will bless me through my 80th
year to do as much good, for in the
Lord do I put m3' trust.

Good Results in Every Case.
D. A. Bradford, wholsale paper
dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes,
that he was seriously afflicted with
a severe cold that settled on his
lungs: had tried many remedies
without benefit. Being induced to
try Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, did so and was entire¬
ly cured by use of a few bottles.
Since which time he has used It in
his family for all Coughs and Colds
with best results. This is the ex¬
of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this Wonderful
Trial bottles free at Dr, W. H.
