He did try it, and in three months he wis well, and has been well ever since.- In a letter duted December 17th, 1891, he says, " v other fc'eigei's Curtaive Syiup ißavod m) life," and signs his name' to whst hesaja—"Fiank Stanley Langmw 1.44," Combrrford Hoad, Hrockley:" ' j flis malady ~wasnos heart dis ea'e.or turn* outs., but indigestion and dyspep ia. the cause of almost till paugs and | ains, call them what you will. . " Mr Landman was saved by good advice arid a good medicine for which he is grate, ful, so I take notice that everybody isn't ike Ji n Smilfey, «ith his grizzly bear and his woodeii leg.
