▲ Horrible Adventure
K Chicago telegram says: Henry Belmont, Parisian snake-charmer, had - ■ - a narrow escape of being strangled by one of bis snakes at the Grand Palace Hotel. Belmont has recently concluded an engagement in San Francisco, and arrived in Chicago en route to New York. He had got a box filled with snakes, which he placed in bis room. After dinner he went to his room with a number of iriends to show them the snakes. Subsequently he went below to the bar room. On leaving bis room Belmont forgot to lock up the snakes, thus giving them perfect freedom incite apartment. Upon going to bediShonr later he noticed notiiin the middle of the ■ Newberry, a traveller, the adjoining room, was by cries of " Help." Mr burst the door open, stepped upon a snake, and was frightened and turned to run, but the :ries of Belmont became pitiful. Mr Newberry stopped and lighted the gas. The li«ht revealed the snake charmer upon the bed, his face black, his eyes bulging ont, and an enormous python curled about bis legs and body. Meantime (be other persons in the hotel had been aroused, and had crowded to Wf the door. With one exception, they r were all too frightened to enter. Une man, however, seized a fire-axe si : and entered. Mr Newberry pre vented him from attacking the rept>le, and told bim to catch the tail, while he took the snake's head. Then both began to untwist tbe immense body. It took all their ~ -afltreDgih to move the reptile. Finally Newberry succeeded in untwisting it sufficiently to releaie the snake charmer's anus. Tbe latter then stroked it and induced it to unloosen. Then being partially freed, he caught the reptile about tbe middle of the body and threw it into tbe box. Belmont sayfl he never bad such a narrow escape- The snake, it appears, had
crawled into bed for more warmth. Its fangs are not dangerous, but its enormous £strengbt, Belmont sayß, lias always to be reckoned with. In another minute he believes he would have been dead.

We refer to ;y Joseph Aubebt, whc t of her life amongst the during that time she ha« 5 in discovering the mosl jdies for diseases in th« lich grows everywhere [t is most natural that i beautifully supplied ty ineral should also have it ilth, and we must alibi to Mother Marx Josepi er untiring research, am 17 bring in its own rewarc the fact th?t her life ha i-spent, but will hereafte lent to suffering humanity a splendid medicine fc the Liver and Kidneys, ires Asthma, Coughs, an affections, pi events and cures Dial up, and General SicknesL,
whilst m . KaRANA is a most excellent Tonic, giving splendid touu to the Stomach. If you suffer from any of these complaints kindly give the medicine a trial .and note the great benefit loyoureeJf. Sister Mary Joseph A tjbert Bays she has kept some of these medicines herself ' for twelve years perfectly good, bo that no fear need ever be entertained of them losing their now well known merits. The preparation of them all is earned out under her own supervision, and only the most efficacious plants are used m their manufacture. The Rev Sister has been for over thirty years experimenting, and during that time has successfully treated hundreds of cases without fee or reward; and, seeing the great benefit that may accrue to manWndgeiierally, has consented to have the medicines put up in saleable form, and offered to the public under the names of PARAMO, NATANATA, MARUPA, and KARANA, and which has been registered for protection and to avoid plausible imitations. Testimonials haye never been asked for, but we present a few which have - been given entirely unsolicited. The medicines are not altogether unknown, because in whatever district the Rev Sister has been stationed there =--are. numbers of persons who can vouch for the efficacy of the remedies. ARCHBISHOP RED WOOD certifies that he himself has seen and heard of " many cures, and his certificate, as printed herein, will go a long way to prove that the public are getting a genuine article, and not one which it is expected to sell by extensive advertising, although - theie may probably be benefit attached to it.
Slsmb Mary Joseph Aubbrt guarantees no immediate remedy, hut it is certain that any complaiut 48 specified *mder the different headings will be successfully cured after a fair trial, and asks all sufferers to obtain the medicine from the nearest chemist, or if not kept by him, to write to the wholesale agents, Messrs Kempthorne, Prossbr & Co., ■Who will advise them where to get it.
I have very great pleasure in testifying to the wonderful effects of the several medicines prepared by Sisteb Mary Joseph Aubert. From my own personal knowledge 1 should say that the medicines will be of great benefit to suffering persons, and I can highly recommend them to all who would wish good health, particularly so when it can be obtained at such a small cost.
