It was a peculiar affliction he had, and his cure was marvellous, his recovery a niue'teentli century miracle. And that others may enjoy the blessings of the wonderful medicine which beyond the jieradvenuirc of a doubt—under (iod's blessing—saving his life, Mr. Foster—not desiring publicity but with the hope of doing good—has consented to tell of his sickness and his euro.

It was in the fall of l-SW he was taken ill. He was ii farmer then, and had spent the day •exposed to the weather and working in the field, and for five hours was in the mud, in a stooping position. I nil few days thereafter he had a peculiar feelin" in his feet and hands they became numb and felt us if asleep.

But, perhaps, it would lie better to let Mr. Foster tell his own experience, nnd this is what he says:

Following the numbness of niv feet and hands, that numbness spread until my whole body was paralyzed. I had a dreadful conBtriction around my body, and us I grew worse this extended up, cutting oft' my breathing it finally got within a few inches of my throat and it was with difficulty that I breathed at all. At irregular intervals 1 had lightning pains throughout my entire .body and limbs, and for at least five months I was perfectly helpless, and a mail servant was kept in my room day and night to turn me in bed and wait upon me.

In the earlier liart of my illness niv feet felt as if I was walking hure-footcd on a stilf carpet. Soon I could not walk at all in the dark, and could not even stand alone with my eyes shut. I rapidly grew worse, and soon my limbs refused to carry inc. Finally I lost my sense of feeling or touch, and coul'J not tell when my feet were ntriiinst each other, but felt all the while as if they were being pulled apart. "In the beginning I had called in my family physician, a very successful practitioner. lie put me on a treatment, with instructions to keep vervquiet. But I continued to grow worse, and in about six weeks he told me, candidly and honestly, that be had done bis best, that he had also advised with tome of Columbia's leading physicians, giving them my symptoms, but that he could do nothing for me and it was useless for him to try any further. He and the physicians with'whom he advised pronounced my disease locomotor ataxia, and iu irable. "lie told my triends the., mid try anything they wished, and then I began trying everything that was suggested. 1 tried different kinds of electricity—belt pads, shock ing machines and electropoise, with numberless kinds of medicines, both internally and externally, but all to no ell'eet, until, about April 1st, 1893, a cousin, Mr. A. N. Aiken,

Vacation Time

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by till, especially those whose duties in lifo have caused them to greatly run down their system to meet the requirements, physical and mental, forced upon them. With those and others, it is important, whether at homo, at the seashore or in the country, that some thought be given to diet, and as furth er assistance to Nature, a good building-up medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla had best oe resorted to. If the digestion is poor, lirer deranged and frequent headaches seem to be the rule, Hood'a will change all this and enable everyone to return to their home and business in a refreshed state of mind and bodily health.

Sick-poison is a poison which makes you sick. It comes from the stomach. The Btomach makes it out of undigested food.

The blood gets it and taints tho whole body with it. That's the way of it. The way to be rid of it is to look after your digestion.

If your food is all properly digested, there will be none left in the stomach to make sick-poison out of.

If your stomach is too weak to see to this properly by itself, help it along with a few doseB of Shaker Digestive Cordial.

That's the cure of it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is a delicious, healthful, toLic cordial, made of pure medicinal plants, herbs and cine

Vlnofta.1 by a Quick Process. Vinegar IK-:V be made ia a very short time by a uuri of filtering process that can bo bundled by any person of ordinary ingenuity. A largo barrel has a perforated shelf fitted in :i few inches belu',v the top. From the liolos fall ends of pack th:c .d, which are knotted at the upper i-r.d so that they may not ba drawn cutiroly through. Glass tubes are fixed in the shelf as air vents. The lower edge of the barrel is filled with holes placed about six inches above the bottom, and a siphon carries off the liquid that accumulates below this point. Diluted alcoholic liquor, slightly sweetened with honey or with extract of malt, is slowly dripped through the holes in the shelf and runs through heechwood shavings that have previously been steeped in good vinegar. The liquor, which should be kept at a temperature of 73 to 85 degrees F., filters down through tho threads and over the sh-ivings fo tho bottom of tho barrel, whenco it runs over through tho siphon. After awhilo tho temperature in the barrel rises to about 100 degrees F., the chemical action going on meanwhile. It is necessary to pour tho liquor again and again through tho generator before it ia satisfactory. From three or four to half a doftu filterings are usually sufficient, though more are somotimes required.depending a good deal on the quality oi tho materials and the temperature at starting.—New York Ledger.

Alter a succession of dams 1.- from "tho ould dart" her husband bad strenuously insisted that sho try "an intelligent and cleanly American girl." He had found such a one and was sure sho would prove a treasure. Tho lady of tho house even thought ho might not be mistaken, so trim and neat was the newcomer. "Yes. I'm a splendid washer," that person said, "and I can iron shirts to beat a Chinaman—I always did up father's at homo. I always had time, for, you see, I know how to manage.

How Crockett Lived.

S. R. Crockett, the Scotch writer, has been telling how he used to raise the heat when a hard up student in Edinburgh. Ho lodged with a friend over a great coal station, and he used to go out in tho evening and pick up the ooals which the carts had dropped in tho streets. "Sometimes," he says, "I grew so bold as to chuck a lump of coal at a driver, who invariably looked for the biggest lump on his load to hit back with, which was what I wanted. Thus tho exercise warmed me at the time and the coal warmed me afterward. And occasionally wo got a large onough stock to Eell to our companions, and buy a book or two. But I wish, here and now. solemnly to state that I never, never condescended to lift a lump off a cart, at least hardly—well, unless it was manifestly inconveniencing tho safety of the load or overburdening tho safety of the horse, you know I"

A Gibraltar Legend.

One of tho stock of ancient legends relating to the Rock of Gibraltar, from which the passing griffs were formerly regaled, relates how a young Scotch subaltern was on guard duty with a brother officer, when the latter in visiting the sentries fell over a precipice and was killed. When the survivor was relieved from duty, he made tho customary written report in the usual form, "Nothiug extraordinary." And this brought the brigade major down upon him in a rage. "WhatI When your brother officer on duty with yon has fallen down a precipice 400 foot high and been killed, you report nothing extraordinary!" "Weel, sir," replied thfi Scot calmly, "I dinna think there't onything extraornery in it, ava. If he had fa'en doon four bunder' feet and not been killed—woel, I should hae oa'd that extraornery."

Human Broth.

A very singular superstition has just come to light. According to an authority in Shanghai, tho heathen Chinee lives under the impression that the healing qualities of the human flesh are practically unlimited.

For this reason when a father ox mother is taken ill the flesh of one of tho children is frequently sacrificed in order that it maybe made into what one might describe as beef tea for the stricken parent.

The Thief Discovered.

Aii employee in an up town resort has been hold under suspicion for some time, and canio near losing his position, on account of tho antics of a big tomcat. For weeks the cash registers, when counted at tho close of the day's business, showed a deficit of several dollars, and no clew could bo had to explain the mysterious absence of tho money. Th' proprietor, having groat ronlidoneo in his employee, was mystified, and not until a few nights ago was tho matter made clear. While alono in tho place, after closing hours, tho proprietor was startled to hoar tho click of tho registers, followed by repeated clicks, like those of a novico upon the keys of a pinno. Looking up, ho found his pot cat playing upon tho keys of tho register and apparently eujj.ying tho performance as mu( as if ho wero a feline Padorew.-k:.—Now York Journal.

rpHE old man who looks out at the a and healthy eyes cannot help feeling kreat gratification at the thought that his children and his children's children have inherited from him no weakness nor tendency to disease, ijl The healthy old man 'is the man who has throughout his life kept his digestion good and his blood re O in a while you find such man who has never taken any medicine.

That man has lived a perfectly natural life. Not one in a thousand does do it. S slight indiscretions or carelessness pave the way for serious sickness. The germ theory of disease is well authenticated, and germs are everywhere. This need make no difference to

healthy man. Germs go through the healthy body without effect. They are hurried along rapidly and thrown off before they have time to develop or increase. Let them once find lodgment or let them find a weak spot, they will develop by the million and the blood will be full of them. Instead of rich, life-giving properties, the blood will be a sluggish, putrid tide of impurity. Instead of giving strength to the tissues, it will force upon them unwholesome and innutritions matter, and the man will lose flesh. The more flesh he loses and the weaker he becomes, the more susceptible he is to disease. His trouble will become complicated and serious consequences will follow. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the only medicine that absolutely and infallibly cures all blood diseases, ana almost all diseases are blood diseases. It isn't a medicine for some one particular •o-called disease. It is a medicine for the whole body. It forces out all the germs of disease, replaces impurities with rich, red blood, feeds the tisaucs and makes strong, healthy flesh.
