E. K. Thompson, Druggist and
Chemist, Dear Sir: I am now a
cured man. I have been troubled
with my kidneys for four or five years,
and lust November it seemed to
change all at once for the worse. I had
no control of my water, would have to
get up In a hurry to urinate every hour
in the night, and as often in the day,
and sometimes oftener. Was very
weak and emaciated, lost my flesh and
was very low spirited, with a great
deal of pain in my bladder. I called I
on T. v. s. aiorian, of Enterprise, and
he told me ho had been troubled the
same way, and was cured by using E.
It. Thompson's Barosma, or Back
ache, Liver and Kidney Cure. I
bought a bottle and it helped me at
once, but overwork set me back. I
think if I had kept quiet two bottles
would have cured me, but as it was I
used some eight bottles and am now
well. For two months I passed ulcer
ous and bloody matter, which seemed
to work down from the bladder and
out of the system. Iam now as well
and healthy as a child, and sleep and
eat as well as ever. I take pleasure in
recommending it to all who are
troubled in like manner. I live two
miles east of Pleasantville, Pa., on the
old turnpike. W. D. Byles.
P. S. Mr. Byles says he has gained
iO pounds since he commenced using
the Barosma.

men engaged, the frightened animal
was shot by Bev- Mercer in the or

deer weighed, when dressed, about
100 pounds.

"The Boys in Blue." This is the
name of a bright eight-page monthly
paper published at the National Cap
ital and devoted to pensions, bounties,
claims, patents, and the army and
navy. It is published by Nathan W.
Fitzgerald, at the remarkably low
price of twenty-flve cents per annum.
The general reading matter is most
excellent, and the department devoted
especially to tho interest of soldiers
and their representatives is very valu
able. We advise every ex-soldier to
send twenty-five cents to Nathan W

and Oyster will be verified.

the First Comptroller of the Treasury
has determined that a called session is
not "a regular session," and members
are not entitled to mileage.
The people of Elk county have de
cided to elect D. C. Oyster Sheriff be
cause he has proved himself compe
