dissolution of the hymeneal tie which unites
her to James Strobel. She was married at

During the 3D years of her married life Mrs

guilty of repeated acts of cruelty, and that
on one occasion 20 years ago he struck and
choked her in the most brutal manner. In

has been one of continual hardship and more
especially during the past four years. She
has been driven forth from the house repeat
edly, struck, kicked, and on one occasion
her husband spat in her face. He had fre
quently, as is asserted in her allegations,
threatened to kill her, using the most ob
scene and indecent language, that he had
failed to provide for her and her children,
that she was frequently obliged to flee from
her residence, afraid of being murdered,
and that her husband is possessed of an un
governable and violent temper. These and
many other allegations go to make up the
urn total of her complaint. She further
states that Strobel owns 100 acres in Utica
township and 640 acres in Selby county
Iowa, and prays the court that he may be
enjoined from selling the same until the
further order of the court.

Wkti mi-ka. Ala.. Sept 28th, 1884
About six years ago I became atllicted
with a very disagreeable skin disease, with
large, dry sores and many crusted pimples
on my face, hands and shoulder, l he sore
on my shoulder eat out a hole nearly an
inch deep, and thecancerousappearanceof
one of the sores near my eye alarmed me
very much. I tried all kinds or treatment,
but found nothing that seemed to affect the
disease. I finally decided to try S. 8. S. on
advice of a physician, und in a short time
the scans dropped from the sores and left
my skin smooth and well. 1 consider S.
S. the greatest I1mh1 medicine made, and
the only thing that will cure the disease
with which I was atllicted. I think my
trouble was the result of a terrible attack
of malarial fever, contracted while farm
ing in the Tallapoosa river swamp. I can
lie found at my ollice in the court house ut
Wetumpka. You can refer to me.
