Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison were re turning after a drive south of the city. Passing the Atherton Mills the horse, Dr. R. L. Gibbon's big gray, became unmanagable and started to run, gradually increasing its speed until it encountered a Dilwortli-bound street car at. the corner of Morehead and South Tryon street. Reaching this point the animal was going at a terrific rate, with the bridle bits clinched in its teeth. "Look out for the street car," some one yelled, and the next instant there was a crash accompanied by screams that terrified the residents in the vicinity. The mortorman, seeing the runa way, stopped bis car just as it en tered the curve. The horse leaped over the fender but the surry struck the car full force, hurling Mr. Hutch ison out of the vehicle against the car's vestibule. He dropped on thej fender unconscious. Mrs. Hutchison was thrown from the surry in the op posite direction. Both were carried into Mr. F. D. Alexander's residence and physicians summoned.

Eight of the women said they were using the preparation, and the ninth woman said she certainly would buy a bottle right away. They all agreed that it was the best household remedy they ever saw and the eighth woman insisted that they would not be without it. The praise is universal. Those who know nothing of the virtues of the remedy may doubt but where once used it is always used, and our best and most effective ad vertisements are those who voluntarily tell their friends about the cure. If you are in doubt, try a bottle and if you are disappointed the druggists will cheerfully refund your money. This puts it up to you.
