sincere appreciation to Rev. J. U

devotion and energy with with he
has served the Church, and com
mend his faithful and fearless course

SHE DID NOT FEAR DEATH.
And old lady on her aeventv*third
birthday once ‘said, **1 do not mind
getting old, and I do not fear death,
but 1 live in constant dread of
paralysis.”
“For some time I have been want
ing to tell you ot the great good your
wounderful Sloan’s Liniment is
doing here, writes Mr. James F
Abernethy, of Rutherford College,
N- C* “In fact all your remedies are
doing nbble wark but your Liniment
beats all. In my eight years expe
rience with medicine find none to go
ahead ol it having tried it in very
many cases. I know of one young
man a brick mason who suil'ered from
a partial, ye* almoit complete
paralysis of ene arm. I got him to use
your Liniment, and now he can do
as ranch work as ever and he sings
your praise every day. I get all to
use it I f ossibly can and know there is
great virturin it. I have helped the
sale of your noble remedies about
here greatly and expect to 'cause
many more to huy them, as I know
thy can’t be beat”
