"JUST IMAGIHEIHOW I FcLT."
Bkunswick, Co., Ya.,
November 5th, 1881.
Mrs. Joi Peksoh,
Franklinton, N. C.
Dkar Madam: It is with pleasure
that I write to tell you that your valna
ble Remedy has entirely cured me of a
most fearful looking and painful soie on
my ankle. It came more than twelve
months afro, very much like a ring worm.
I painted it with Tinct. Iodine, until it
became a very painful and bad looking
place. Then I commenced to try every
thing I could think or hear of, until it
became so very painful I could scarcely
walk, when I went to the best doctor in
the country for advice. Fie told me
he could cure me if I would take my bed
and there remain for four or five weeks,
aad if I did not do so pretty soon, it
could not be cured at all, as the bone
would become diseased, and my foot
would have to be taken ofif. J ust imag
ine how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the sore but t lose my foot, or
give up all business either of these Re
medies would have ruined me. Mind
you this was the advice of one of the best
doctors in the State of North Carolina,
and this conversation took place last
pAhitr T continued to burn with
caustic, as ho advised until September,
but derived no benefit from his treatment.
I was advised then by a friend to try
" WW Pamedv Hitter sand vVasnltooK
;u- Anaaiho 17th nf Sentember, and
I am now a well man, the sore is perfect
ly cured, aad I can now walk as far,
uaace as much and jump as high as any
man you know. Put me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as 1
sow do of the yirtue ot your Remedy,
and I would not hesitate to pay tea dol
lars a bottle for it, if I could not get it
for less. I think more of it than any
medicine. in tbe world. It is not only
.the beat-Remedy to purify the blood and
ralt'skin diseases, but I believe it will
" cure" all kinds of blood diseases, and I
Know it will cure a love for strong drink.
I hope you will havo this published, as
Vom an man v sufferers who could be
cured, if they could knowcf and get your
Remedy I am tW"'

The Safest Seat.
The frequency of collisions on railroads
has raised the question, which is the
place of greatest security in a railroad
train? The Railroad Journal gives
the following as an answer : It is very
well known that the car nearest the
engine is exposed to the least dust, and
that the rear car of a train is generally
safer thnn the front car. The safest
is probably the last car but one, in
a train of more than two cars ; that is
there are fewer chances of accidents 9
this than any other. If it is a way
train at moderate speed, or any train
standing still, a collision is possible
frnm an nther train in -the rear; in
which the last car receives the first
shock. Again, tbe engine ana toe iruut
cars of aT train will Often -ran o?er
broken rail, era cow, or stone, without
detriment, while the last car, having
nothing to draw it into the line of the
fM n i trn to leave ine irac.
HA teaeei - -
to the forward car the rear car is proba1
Kiv th moat unsafe in the train. The
'j t
safest seat is probably near the centre ol
the last cariut one, and in a very long
train, in the centre ot tne iasi iwo or
three cars next to the last.
