Pawns Leg and Teeth For Wife.
The desperation which sometimes
seizes the poverty stricken seldom has
had a more thrilling exemplification
than in the case of Charles Blank of
Des Moines, In., who, In an effort to
secure money to send to his sick wife,
who he claims is In Chicago, laid
two gold teeth and a wooden leg upon
the counter of Zacharlah Woolf, a
pawnbroker, and begged for a loan.
Woolf says he knew Blank years ago,
when he was prosperous, and had con
fidence in his word. Accordingly he
handed Blank $8, and the latter, minus
a part of his masticating and locomo
tion organs, hobbled to a bank and
bought a draft to send to his afflicted
one.
Corset Saves Her Life.
WitS her husband Mrs. George W.
Rydrnan of Lima, 0., was driving
through the crowded public square
when another driver, handling a frac

side, and a sudden lunge ran the bug
gy shaft of the latter rig Into the side
of Mrs. Kydman. She was thrown
heavily to the paved street and picked
up unconscious. Dr. Stelner stated
after dressing the wounds that the
stays In Mrs. Kyduian's corset had un
doubtedly saved her life, preventing
the end of the shaft from penetrating
her side near the heart.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
be^n able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Cattarrh. Hall's Cattarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprittors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they off;r one hundred dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
