But so many times pneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the ‘natural act of that instinct of self- " preservation which is “the first law of nature.” Pneumonia can be pre- yented and is often cured by the use of ‘Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. “Some years ago I had a severe cold and was threatened with pneumonia. neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched Condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer’s Pectoral and took it according to the ns, and at the end of fifteen daysw as as well and sound as before the attack. I have recommended it in many cases of pneu- monia since, and have never known it to fail in effecting a cure.” JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La. ed the skill of my phy- my lungs, and de! dered me incurable.

Rich Hill Review. Geo. Cook, the blacksmith, had a valuable cow fatally injured Satur- day night under mysterious circum stances. The animal was ali rigut Saturday evening at milking time, | but on going to bis feed lot yester- | day morning, Mr. Cook found his cow suffering from several deep | gaehes on her body. There was a| bad cut across one of the hams, two deep stabs in the bowels and the! udder was laid wide open. How the | animal sustained ber injuries is not | known, of cour and probably | never will be, but indications cer- | tainly point very strongly to yandal ism. Mr. Cook said to a reporter: | “I thought at first the cow was as-| saulted by my male hog, which was in the lot with her, but no blood could be found about him aftera close eramination: and that theory can hardly be believed. The cuts appeared to me, and to my neigh-| bors viewing them, to have been | made with a twoedged dirk knife | The lot was covered with blood and | it could be plainly seen that the cow had been running and making an at- tempt to get away.” This is a very strange occurrence | to say the least.
