Ark»n«M« Corpse Asks a Question The Pine 11 luff (Arkansas) Press •ajm:**A prominent lawyer anfl poli­ tician «f Pin® Bluff, Col. McGJiee, after a short illnehs last, week died, and the serrowiiig family and Irlends in anguish and grief saw liis eyelids closed, its they supposed. forever. He to be intoned in a metallic case after the usual time. His funeral was about to take place, when, 011 tlie second night of Jits supposed death.; after nearly thirty hours, the weathers over his supposed renmius were sur­ prised and horritied by seeing the glass case of the coffin broken open, aud appearance of the corpse's head' * through the aperture. The Colonel s spoke to know "what the devil they were tryiiigto do?" It is unnecce«sary testate that he was soou relieved from bis uncomfortable situation, and at last Accounts lie was in. a fair way ©f recovery, and is no doubt worth many dead men yet."

There is no medicine prescribed by physiciaus, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its surcess and superior virtue as Boschee's German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A • proof of that fact fs that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It lias lately been introduced in this coun­ try from Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any cast. Try it.
