Incidentally Mr. Hag- edorn said if LeRoy is a fair sample of the Kansas town the talk about prolibition in that state was a howl- ing mistake and humbug. To prove his statement he said his party walk- ed into a small restaurant and in the back room they found a regular bar and keeper who asked them in plain words which they would have beer or whisky.

King of Medicines Scrofulous Humor—A Cure “Almost Miraculous.’’ “ When I was 14 years of age I had a severe attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for 11 years I was an invalid, being confined to my bed years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap- peared and broke, causing me great pain and suffering. I feared I never should get well. “Early in 1886 I went to Chicago to visit a sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time I was there. In July Tread a book,‘ A Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was so tm- pressed with the success of this medicine that I decided to try it. To my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel better and in a short time I was up and out of doors. T continued to take Hood's Sar saparilla for about a year, when, having used stx bottles, I had become so fully released front the disease that I went to work for the Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then YE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAY on account of sickness. I believe the disease is expelled from my system, I always feel well, am in good spirits and have a good appetite Tam now 27 years of age and can walk as well as any one, except that one limb is a little shorter than the other, owing to the loss of bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg. To my friends my recovery seems almost miraculous, and I think Hood's Sarsaparilla is the king of medicines.” WituiamM A. | Lene, 9N. Railroad St., Kendallville, Ind.
