vented a dreadful tragedy and saved o|
two lives. A frightful cough had long m
kept her awake every night. She hail ai
tried many remedies and doctors but e;
steadily grew worse until urged to try
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
wholly cured her, and she writes this
marvelous medicine also cured Mr,
Long of a severe attack of Pneumonia.
Such cures are positive proof of the

This was a vary interesting

for the last two or three years j
lie lias been confined to his y
home and much of the time his (

and to unite with them once i:

to give praise and thanks unto

to invoke the continuation of ,
ijhis loving care. According to t

an expert on snakes (of the real
variety), he was asked for a snake
story by some of the crowd. And
this is what he told :
"The rattlesnake is not harmless,
hut it is not a dangerous
snake, for it nearly always acts
on the defensive and gives warning
before it strikes. The moccasin
will attack, but the rattlesnake
will not. But the rattleris very
