Heroic Sacrifice

'i TLe' commauder oí a [Government post ou tne Niágara river during the early part of this eentury. was apparently at the point of death. Hls ussoeiates gathered. arouni him, 'wt laittwr thev nor the Post Surireoa tould [do aujthing.for hls relief. His heart.thiobbed 10 vlolently that every one in the room could hear lt beat, and the oecaslooal spasm ;ol unguish that passed ovr hls face showed huw much he suffered. At lenzth one of the .offlcers spoke up suddenlv : 'I know of an elderly lady who llves nnnv miles awayjwhose reputation aa a nurse aud doctress I have often heard. 1 will ibring her." And before any one eould offer approval or disapproval he was gone. Tbat niffht tU.j snow came down in eluuds. The wind had full sway and piled the snow iu drifts. But in spité of the] elements a man and womaii, inounted on horsebaek. tpatleutly toiled through the storm. At lengtb tbey reacbed the post, and upder the skillf ully applied remedie whleh were {administcnd, the oiücer was brought back to health. But the effect of the storm and exertion of travel were too ereat, and Chloe Hibbard, who had saved the llfe of another. was strlcken with total bllndness. Hers had beeu a peaeeful lite, abe bad lored nature, and la stuih mr it had dlscovered n&ture's remedies. She had loved; humauitv, aild longeü to relieve lts sutlering. She had ' .-:een .urn and womcn racked by rheumatisrn in all itsjform3,;and she had caref ully studied to liad a] meansj oí relleí. áhe succeeded in üuüiuic ttiis [nicans, and was sratined by seeing hundreds oí suífererí restored to health. She realized that rheumatk-m was the cause of most so-called heart disease. and she saved many Uves just at the pplut vï dcath, aa she did than of the ïost commandant. But she sacrificed herselfupon the altar of pbüinthropy, became blind, and died uurewardej. It is fortúnate, however, that her ffood work soes oü. Her nephew, Hon. IJanlel H. Hibbard, one of the most prominent eltb.ens of Jackson, Mich., belng possessed of the formula by whleh hls Aunt accoinplfshed so much good", determined as a duty bejowes bototo his ancestor and i tv to glve it to the w orld, and to-day Hibbard's Kbeuinatic Syrup is sold iu every drusstore, aud is becomïng'the most popular, as itiis : questionably the most efficiënt remedy for : rneumatism ever known. Science ís accomplishing much ior.the orld and dolnggreat things forlthe relief of i ing. Dr. Kuch revealed the cause of cholera, and Pasteur hasfound acure íorhydrophoibla, but the discovery of nature's pure and simple nieans for relieving lmmediate suflerlng and postpoulDg death is f ar more valuable to ai ill. Especially is this true in the case of rheumatlsm, whieh is uot oulv so painf ui an aftlictlon, but by the quiekuess with whieh; it lies to the heart Is so uaagerous.
