"A very severe pain came in my left
knee, which grew worse and worse, and
finally a sore broke out above the knee.
It discharged a great deal and the pain
from my thigh down was maddening.
Large, hard, purple spots appeared on my
leg. I suffered in this way for years,
.and gave up all hope of ever being cured.
My wife was reading of a case like mine
cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and she
advised mo to try it. I began taking it
and when I had used a few bottles I
found relief from my suffering. Oh,
how thankful I am for this relief ! I am
stronger than I have ever been in my life.
I am in the best of health, have a good
appetite and am a new man altogether."

A Sad Death.
Mrs. Ida Wilkinson, who was seriously
burned at tbeir mountain camp last
February and brought to the oounty
poor house three, weeks . sines, diea at
that institution last Saturday night and
was buried tbe following day.
Tbe particulars, as follows, ' are par
ticularly sad: Tbe mother with her
three obildren, aged 14, 8 and 5 years,
respectively, were dependent upon the
busbHnd and father who was engaged io
wood chopping, and a night of intense
cold, necessitated keeping a fire, owing
to their scaroity of bedding, and the
mother endeavoring to keep herself and
little oDes warm made their bed dose to
tbe fire. After piling on wood she laid
down near tbe fire, and while asleep
some embers fell in oootaot with ber
clothing setting tbem on fire, and be
fore she could exterminate tbe same, she
bad been dangerously burned from ber
feet to ber hips. For weeks the faithfol
father and children administered to ber,
until ber oritioal osndiiion necessitated
ber removal to town. While in tbe in
stitution she became a mother of babe
that survived but a few hours, and since
that time ber life bad been despaired of.
Relief finally came. Tbe three remaining
motherless obildren, we are informed, if
possible, will be found homes with people
who will oare for tbem tenderly. They
are unusually bright, and will oomfort
those who will befriend tbem.
