H B Read Mayor Brenton** Frank Letter. KB I have used Dr. W. B. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and Consider SB it among the most valuable remedies on the market to-day. ■ Luckily, I have been in very' good health all mv life and it 'is M ■ only very rarely that I ever take anv kind of medicine. Occa- B SB iionallv it becomes necessary for any man to take some kind of M a laxative and stomach remedy and Dr. Caldwell's Syrup B Pepsin is the best I have ever used. I like to have a bottle of Syrup Pepsin handy at the house JgS to take after I have bee a attending a banquet. I just take l|| about a spoonful of the remedy and then I lie down topeaceful slumber, confident that I will feel all right in the morning. O If I had been seriously ill and cured, mv testimonial might ||i| uo yon more good, but I can say that it helps me along in W the small way I need help occasionally; and if 1 had worse troubles 1 have faith enough in the remedy that I would by *t for them.

SEVERED ARTERY Accident Nearly Causes Boys Death Bled Profusely and was Unconscious for Many Hours. The fourteen-year-old son of Henry Hoppe, of Fort Wayne, is ' lying at the point of death at the home of his uncle. Charles Scheiinann, near Monmouth, the result of an accid.nt which occurred y ester - i day afternoon. He was in the ’ barnyard and was throwing up ; potatoes and striking at them with a large and veiy sharp butcher knife \vhcih he held in his hand. In some way he struck his right ; leg just below the knee with the i knife, inflicting a terrible gash i and severing the artery. Blood : parted from the wound in a stream notwithstanding all remedies that those pivsent could administer. Dr. D. D. Clark was summoned and was taken to the scene by Chiaimer Schafer in his Cadilac automobile in eleven minutes. The boy was unconscious and nearly every drop of blood in his body had been lost, his pulse being almost imperceptible. Vigor- . ous treatment was used and the lad ' recovered consciousness at three ■ o'clock this morning. He was reparted slightly improved this after noon and Lis physician has hopes for his recovery, as his age is favorable. An older person would scarcely be able to recover from the loss of strength.
