Julius Caisar, one ot the greatest men of ancient times, was a vic- tim lo il, and no physician of his day could cITocI a cure. Napoleon, the greatest war- I ior of modern times, fell a prey to it, and anioinj all his conquering hosts there was not one that could conquer this insidious disease. , But here is S.unuel Duffin. residinj; In the Township of West NIssouri, eitjlil miles from the City of London, who makes a Hworn statement before a Notary Public, that .thout eijjht years ago he had a para- lytic stroke, and has ever since been sub- ject lo Epileptic Kits, which came upon him so often that it was unsafe for him to be left alone. â-  He w.as treatod by five of the best pnysicians In tbe |i.ovince, and spent hundreds of dollars, to no avail, in endeavor- ing to get relief. Then he tried Kooten.iy Cure, which contains the new ingredient. Note the change, " I have taken between three and four bottles."

In UbB eajrly part of ibis oentury Kaid Maimon, a governor of Tangier. was taking a journey tih'iuhie.r. carrying a large lion in a cage borne by four muLes as a present from the sultan to the King erf Portugal. One evening, liitui the tents bad l>een i>it-,^bed and Mnimon vrdm resting on a divan in his pavilion, he heard a neiffhing of hor.se» and tJien a tran^ding and .stampede of th« animals teth.rj-ed outside. He clai>- ped. his bande to summon tlw atten- dants, but for a few muiu«^ts no one came. Taien appeared hia pr.ooner. the liou, glaring I'ieroely as b.< ajiproached. Kaad Maimon was a very courageous mun. and when the lion was advancing, tbere was time to think of many things. It wiis of no use to draw lus sword; and moreover, ii be should succeed in killing the lion, tbe sultan would pro- liably cut off his own head in' return. So be sat perfectly still, a,nd addressed tbe creature by the name which had been given him. "You are s brave fellow. Maimon," said h». "to leave your cage andi take a walk this fine evening. O judicious and well-be-haved lion, you do well to enjoy yourself !" For tie creature, (.leased with the Kaiil's voije had begun to roll upon the carpet.

Not a sound was to l»e heard in the camp, isave the ter- rified neigh of a horse whi'.h had not bet^ able to escaim witih the others, and wtiicb still .soented the li<in. Maimon woke, stretohed himself, and I)Ut out bis long, teorible claws. \3» stalked toward lAie door. Iiiahing his tail. At its first movement tbe Kaid's turlian v«-as knacke<l off. and in re4>lao- in« it hi?> mutterwd to himself: "1 hope this visit is c^oming to an end !
