saddle again before lone at any rate before
the advance is made."
"I hope so. Blunt. And now, if you feel up
to telling It, I want to bear about your adven
ture. Colonel Somerset asked me to inquire,
as it will throw some light on the numbers and
position of the Kaffirs; besides, the whole
camp is wanting to know how you succeeded in
petting Miss Armstrong out of the hands of
the Kaffirs. I can assure you that there is
nothing else talked about."
"There is nothing much to talk about, as far
as I am concerned, sir," Ronald said. "It was
the Fingoes' doing altogether, and they could
bare managed as well, indeed better, without
me."
"Except that they would not have done it,
unless you had been with them."
"No, perhaps not," Rona'd admitted, "I
was lucky enough down at Fort .Elizabeth to
fish out the son of Kreta, the head man of the
party, who bad been washed off his feet in the
surf; and it was gratitude for that that induced
him to follow me."
"Yes, we beard about that business from Mr.
Nolan, and although you speak lightly of it, it
was, he tells us, a very gallant affair indeed.
But now as to this other matter."
"In the first place Captain Twentyman, I ad
mit that going off as I did was a great breach
of duty. I can only say that I shall be willing,
cheerfully, to submit any penalty the
Colonel may think fit to inflict. I had
no right whatever to leave my detach
ment on what was really private busi
ness; but even if I had been certain that 1
should have been shot as a deserter on my re
turn to the regiment, I should not have hesi
tated in acting as I did."
"We all understand your feelings. Blunt,"
Captain Twentyman said, kindly, "and you
have no need to make yourself uneasy on that
score. To punish a man for acting as you have
done would be as bad as the sea story of the
Captain who flogged a seaman, who jumped
overboard to save a comrade, for leaving the
ship without orders. Now for your story: all
we have heard is that jour Fingo says ou car
ried off the young lady from Macomo's kraal;
but, of course, that is not believed."
"It is quite true, nevertheless," Ronald said.
"Weil, this is how it was, sir." and he gave a
full account of the whole adventure.
"W ell, I congratulate you most heartilv, '
Captain Twentyman said when lie finished; "it
is really a wonderful adventure a most gal
lant business indeed, and the whole corps, offi
cers and men, will be proud of it."
"I should be glad, sir, if there could be some
reward given to Kreta and his men; as you will
have seen from my story, any credit that there
is in the matter is certainlv their due."
"I will see to that," the officer replied. "The
Fingo desires are, happily, easily satisfied: a
good rifle, a few cows and a barrel of wbUky
make up his ideal of happiness. I think I can
promise you they shall have all these."
In the afternoon, Mr. Armstrong again
dropped off to a quiet sleep. This time he was
not holding his daughter's band, and as soon as
she saw th.it lie was fairly off she stole out of
the room, and rinding tbe surgeon, asked if he
would take her up to the ward where Sergeant
Blunt was lying.
"les, l snau oe nappy to take you up at once.
Miss Armstrong. Everything is tidy jutat
present, for I have had a message from Colonel
Somerset that he and the General are coming
round the wards. I don't suppose they will be
here for half an hour, so you can come up at
once."
The sick men in the wards were surprised
when the surgeon entered, accompanied by a
young lady. She passed shyly along between
the rows of beds until she reached that of
Ronald. She put her hand in his, but for a
moment was unable to speak. Ronald saw her
agitation, and said cheerfully, "I am heartily
glad. Miss Armstrong, to hear from the doctor
euch a good account of your father. As for
me, I shall not be in his bands many days. I
told you it was a mere scratch, and I believe
that a good-sized piece of sticking plaster was
all that was wanted."
"JTou haven't thought me unkind for not
coming to see you before, I hope." the cirl said,
"but I have not been able till now to leave my
fflthpr's rnnm fnr a tnnmmit ''
"I quite understood that. Miss Armstrong,
and indeed there was no occasion for you to
come to me at all. It would have been quite
time enough when 1 was up and about again I
only wish that it was likely that Mr. Armstrong
would be on his feet as soon as I shall."
"Oh, he is going on very well," Mary said. "I
consider that you have saved his life as well as
mine. 1 feel sure that it is only having me with
him again that has made such a change in him
as has taken place since yesterday. The doctor
says so, too. I have not tola him yet how it has
all come about, but 1 hope ere very long he
mav be able to thank you for both of us."
"You thanked me more than enough jester
daj. Miss Armstrong, and I am not going to
listen to any more of it. As far as I can see,
jou could not have done me any greater ser
vice than by giving mo the opportunity you
have. Everyone seems disposed to take quite
a ridicu ous view of the matter, and I may look
forward to gettine a trooo-sergeantthip when
there is a vacancy."
The girl shookher bead. She was too much
in earnest even to nretend to take a licht view
of the matter. Jost at that moment there was
a tramping of horses outside, and the sharp
sound of the sentries presenting arms.
".ucre is tne uenerai," Ronald said, with a
smile, "and although I don't wish to hurry you
away. Miss Armstrong, I think that you had
better go back to your father. I don't know
whether he would approve of lady visitors in
the hospital."
"Goodbv," the girl said, giving him her hand.
"You won't let me thank vou. but you know."
"I know," Ronald replied. "Goodby."
She looked round for tbe surccon, who had,
after taking her up to Ronald, moved away for
a short distance, but be was gone, having hur
i ied off to meet the General below, and with a
last nod to Ronald, she left the ward. She
parsed nut through the door into the court
jard just as the group of officers were enter
ing. "That is Miss Armstrong," the surgeon said,
as the passed out.
"What, the girl who was rescued?" Colonel
Somerset said; "a verypretty. lady-like-looking
j oung oman. I am not surprised now that 1
see Iter at this desperate exploit of my ser
geant." "No. indeed," the General said, smiling. "It's
curious Colonel, what men will do for a pretty
face. Tho-e other two noor creatures who were
carried off were both murdered, and 1 don't
suppose that their deaths have greatly dis
tressed this young fellow one way or the o'her.
No doubt he would have been glad to rescue
them, but I imagine that their deaths have not
in any way caused him to regard his mission as
a failure. 1 suppose that it's human nature.
Colonel."
Colonel Somerset laughed.
"You and I would have seen the matter in
the same light when we were youngsters. Gen
eral." The officers went through the wards, stop
ping several times to speak a few words to the
patients.
"So this is the deserter," Colonel Somerset
said, with some assumed sternness, as they
stopped by Ronald's bedside. "Well, 6ir. we
have had a good many of those black rascals
desert from onr ranks, but you are the first
white soldier who has deserted since the war
began. Of course, you expect a drumhead
court maruai ana snooting as soon as the doc
tor lets you out of his hands."
Ronald saw that the old Colonel was not in
earnest.
"It was very bad. Colonel," he said, "and I
can only throw myself on your mercy."
"You have done well, my lad very well," the
Colonel said, laying his hand on his shoulder
"There are some occasions when even military
laws give place to questions of humanity, and
this was essentially one of them. You are a
fine fellow, sir; and I am proud that you belong
to my corps."
The General, who had stopped behind speak
ing to another patient, now came up.
"You have done a very gallant action. Ser
geant Blunt." he said. "Captain Twentyman
has reported the circumstances ' to me; but
when you are out of hospital you must come to
headquarters and tell me vour own story. Will
you see to this. Colonel Somerset!"
"Certainly, sir. I will send him over, or
rather bring him over to you, as soon as he's
about, for I should like to hear the whole atorr
also." '
In ten days Ronald Merwn was ahnntanh
although not yet fit for duty; the wound had
healed rapidly, but the surgeon said it would
be at least another fortnight before he would
be fit for active service. As soon as he was
able to go out and sit on the benches in the
ho-pital yard, many of his comrades came to
see him, and there was a warmth and earnest
ness in their congratulations which showed
that short as his time had been in the corps, he
was thoroughly popular with them. Sergeant
Menzieswas particularly hearty in his greet
ing. "I knew you were the right sort, Harry
Blunt, as soon as I set eyes upon you," he said;
"but I did not expect that you.were going to
cut us all out so soon."
"How is my horse, SergeantT"
"Oh, he's none fie worse for it, I think. He
has been taking walking exercise, and his stiff
ness is wearing off fast I think ho misses you
very much, and he wouldn't take his food the
first day or two: He has got over it now, but I
know he longs to hear your voice again."
Sometimes, too, Mary Armstrong would come
out and sit for a. time with Ronald. Her
father was progressing favorably, and though
still extremely weak, was in a fair way toward
recovery.
"Will you come in to see father?" Marv rsIH
one morning; "he knows all about it now; but
It was onlv w hen he came rouna just now that
the doctor gave leave for him to see you."
"I shall be very glad to see him." Ronald
said, rising. "I own that when I saw him last I
had very slight hopes that I should ever meet
him alive again."
"He is still very weak," the girl said, "and
the doctor says ho is not to be allowed to talk
much."
"I will only pay a short visit, but it will be a
great pleasure to me to see him; I have always
aiv uio ui'uua iu uir
"Father is kind to everyone." the girl said,
mnlv. "In thiR fntnnra hla Mnrftinm t.-
been returned a hundred-fold."
By this timo they had reached tbe door of
the ward.
"Here is Mr. Blunt come to see you, father.
Now you know what the doctor said, you are
not to excite yourself, and not to talk too
much, and If you are not good. I shall tako him
strong " Ronald said, as he went up to the bed,
and took tbe thin hand in his own.
"Odd bless you, my boy," the wounded man
replied; "it is to you I owe my recovery, for had
you not brought Mary back to me I should be a
dead man now, and would have been glad
of it"
"I am very glad, Mr.Armstrong, to have been
able to be of service to your daughter and to
yon; but do not let us talk about it now, lam
sure you cannot do so without agitating your
self, and the great point at present with us all
is for you to be up and about again. Do your
Wounds hurt you muchf"
"Not much; and yours, Blunt?'
Oh. mine is a mere, nothing," Ronald said,
cheerfully, "it's healing up fast, and except
when I f orcet all about it, and move sharply. I
scarcely feel it I teel something like tbe pro
verbial man who swallowed the poker, and
have to keep myself as stiff as if lwere on in
spection. This ward is nice and cool, much
cooler than they are upstairs. Of course the ve
randah outside shades you. You will findit very
pleasant mere wnen yon are strong enough to
get up. I am afraid that by that time I shall be
off, fnr the troops are all on their march from
up the coast, and in another ten days we ex
pect to oegin operations in earnest"
"I don't think the doctor ought to let you
go." Mary Armstrong said. "You have done
quite your share, I am sure."
"I hope my share in finishing up with these
scoundrels will be a good deal larger yet"
Ronald laughed. "My share has principally
been creeping and hiding, except just in that
last brush, and there, if I mistake not, your
share was as large as mine. I only fired three
shots, and I think I heard your pistol go four
times."
"Yes, it is dreadful to think of now," the girl
said; "but somehow it didn't seem so at the
time. I feel shocked now when I recall it"
"There's nothing to be shocked at, Miss
Armstrong: it was our lives or theirs, and if
your band had not been steadv, and your aim
true, we should neither of us be here talking
over the matter now. But I think my visit has
been lone enoueh. I will come in airain. Mr.
Armstrong, to-morrow, and I hope each day to
find you more and more able to take your
share in tbe talk.'-
In another ten days Ronald rejoined bis
troop, and the next day received an order to be
reauy at 4 o'ciock to accompany uoionei (Som
erset to the General's.
"Now, Sergeant, take a seat," the General
said, "and tell me the full story of your ad
ventures." Ronald again repeated bi3 story. When ho
had done, the General remarked:
"Your report more than bears out what I
heard from Captain Twentyman. I have al
ready talked the matter over with Colonel Som
erset, as we consider that such an action
should be signally rewarded. Colonel Somerset
will at once apply for a commission for you in
your own corps, or if you would prefer it, I
will apply for a commission for you in one ot
the line regiments. I may say that the applica
tion under such circumstances would certainly
be acceded to."
"I am deeply obliged to you for your kind
ness, sir. and to you. Colonel Somerset; but I
regret to sav that, with all respect, I must de
rmic oox-u oners.
Decline a commission!" the General said, in
surprise. "Why, I should have thought that it
was just the thinir that vou would have liked
a dashing young fellow like you, and on the eve
of serious operations. I can hardly understand
you."
Ronald was silent for a moment
My reason for declining it, sir, is a purely
personal one. Nothing would have given me
greater pleasure than a commission so be
stowed, but there are circumstances that abso
lutely prevent my mingling in the society of
gentlemen. The name I go by is not my true
one, and over my own name there is so terrible
a shadow resting that so long as it is there
and I have little hope of its ever being cleared
off I must remain as I am."
Both officers remained silent for a moment.
"You are sure you are not exaggerating the
case. Blunt?" Colonel Somerset said after a
pause. "I cannot believe that this cloud of
which you speak can have arisen from any act
oi 3 ours, ana it wouia De a pity indeed were
you to allow any family matter to weigh upon
you thus."
Ronald shook his head. "It is a matter In
which I am personally concerned, sir, and I do
not in any way exaggerate it I repeat, I must
remain in my present position."
"j.i it must ue so, it must," the General said,
"though I am heartily sorry At least you will
have the satisfaction of seeing vour name in
general orders this evening for an act of dis
tinguished braverv."
"Thank you sir,rt and Ronald, seeing the con
versation was at an end, saluted the two offi
cers, went out and rode back to his quarters.
The town was full of troops now, for the regi
ments that had been dispatched from England
had nearly all arrived upon the spot and the
operations against the Kaffirs in the Ainatolas
were to begin at once. Some of the troops, in
cluding two squadrons -of the Rifles, were to
march next morning.
Ronald went about his duties till evening,
and then turned out to walk to the hospital.
As be passed through the streets, be saw a
croup round one ot the Rifles, who bad just
come out from a drinking shoo, and vas en
gaged iu a fierce altercation with "a Fingo. The
man was evidently the worse for liquor, and
xuiiam weui up iu iiim ana put nis nanu on
his shoulder.
"You bad" better go off to the barracks at
once." he said sharply; "you will be getting
into trouble if you stay here."
The man turned savagely ronnd.
"Oh, it's you, Sergeant Blunt? Hadn't
you better attend to your own business? I
am not committing any crime here. I haven't
been murdering women, or anything of that
sort"
Konald started back as if struck. The sig
nificance of the tone in which the man spoke
showed him that these were no random words,
but a shaft deliberately aimed. In a moment
be was cool again.
"If you do not return to the barracks at
once," he paid sternly. "1 will fetch a corporal's
guard and put 3 ou in the cells."
The man hesitated a moment nd then mut
tering to himself, reeled off toward the bar
racks. Had the blow come a month before
Ronald Mcrvyn would have felt it more. Ar
sorbed in his active work on horseback the
greater portion of his time, the remembrance
of the cast had become blunted, and tbe pres
ent had occupied all his tnoughts. It wa. only
occasionally that be had looked back to the
days when he was Captain Mervyn, of the Bor
derers. But from the hour he had brought
Mary Armstrong safely back to her father the
past had been constantly in his mind because it
clashed with the present.
Before, Konald Mervyn and Harry Blunt had
almost seemed to be two existences, uncon
nected with each other; now, the fact of their
identity had been constantly in his thnnvhn
The question be had been asking himself over
and over again was whether there could be a
Jiermanent separation between them, whether
le could hope to get rid ot his connection with
Ronald Mervyn. and to continne to the end of
tbe chapter as Harry Blunt He had told him
self long before that he could not do so, that
sooner or later be should certainly be recog
nized; and although he had tried to oelieve
that be could pass through life withont meet
inc anyone familiar with bis face, he had been
obliged to admit that this was next to lmnni.
ble.
Had he been merely a country gentleman,
known only to the people within a limited
range of distance, it would have been differ
ent; but an officer who has served ten years in
the army has Innumerable acquaintances.
Every move be makes brings him in contact
with men of other regiments, and his circle
goes on constantly widening until it embraces
no small portion of the officers of the army.
Then every soldier who had passed through
his regiment while he had been in it wonln
kuow his face; and go where he would he
knew that he wonld be running constant risks
of detection. More than one of the regiments
that had now arrived at King Williaiustown
had been quartered witb him at one station or
another, and there were a score of men who
would recognize him instantly did he come
amoi g them in tbe dress of an officer. This
unexpected recognition, therefore, by a trooper
in bis own corps did not come upon him with so
sudden a shock as it would have done a month
previously.
"1 knew it must come," he said to himself
bitterly, "and that it might come at any
moment still it is a snoot v no is this man,
I wonder. It seemed to me, when he first came
up, that I bad some faint remembrance of his
face, though where, I have not the least idea.
It was not in the regiment, for be knows noth
ing of drill or military habit. Of course, if he
had been a deserter, he would have pretended
ignorance, but one can always tell by little
things whethera man has served, and I am sure
that this fellow has not I suppose be comes
from somewhere down home.
"Well, it can't be helped. Fortunately I have
won a good name before this discovery is made,
and am likely to reap the benefit of what doubt

a fair amount of pluck, his comrades are slow
to credit him with bad qualities. On tbe whole,
perhaps it is well that it should have come on
this evening of all when I bad quite made up
my mind as to my course. Still, this strength
ens me in my decision as to what I ought to do.
It is hard to throw away bappiness, but this
shows how rightly I decided. . Nothinz will
shake me now. Poor little girl! it is hard for
her, harder by far than for me. However, it is
best that she should know it now, than learn it
when too late."

A PECULIAR THEOKT.
One Doctor Holds That Bough Streets
Cause Nervous Diseases.
RUMBLING NOISES RESPONSIBLE.
Some Experiments With a Tuning Fork
for an Illustration.
GOOD PLEA FOE BETTER PAVEMENTS
FIXED Iff HIS MIND.
None of the Details 'Are Overlooked
or Forgotten.
GIVEN WITH DISTINCTNESS.
OFFICIAL-PITTSBUBG.
In a chat with a Dispatch reporter yes
terday, a prominent physician of this city
opened up a new field of discussion about
the proper kind of pavements for a city to j -t
use. Among other things ue sam: "it is
generally conceded among medical men
that the greater prevalence of nervous dis
eases among city dwellers, as compared with
those who live in the country, is due in a
great measure to the constant noise and
rattle of the city streets, caused by wagons
rumbling over the cobble or granite block
pavements."
As another peculiar fact, he affirmed that
the ears of the citytnan are not so acute as
those of the man who lives in the country,
all because the ears of the former are con
stantly subjected to a din similar to that in
a boiler works, made by the rumbling
wagons on the rough streets.
To corroborate his first statement he said
that he was now treating a brother physi
cian, who blames bis trouble, which is simi
lar to the condition known as "railway
spine," to the constant jolting and shaking
incident to the making of his daily rounds.
He has had to give up his buggy altogether,
until the city will pave the streets with as
phalt or a substitute that will insure easy
riding.
HE HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
Dr. Ayres, a specialist on nervous dis
eases was interviewed on the subject, and
said that in his practice he had not come
across any cases iu which the disease was
first caused by the noise named. However,
it was possible, and he had not had his at
tention directed to this cause before.
It was a fact, he said, that where a person
was in any way predisposed to nervousness,
the noise of the streets aggravated the dis
ease, or complication of diseases, and from
a small beginning often lelt the patient in a
serious condition. He has been studying
this feature of street noises, but has not
gotten far enough in his studies to say that
the rough pavement is a primary cause.
In his experiments he uses an instrument
resembling a tuning-lork, a little over a
loot long. As a heavy mill wagon went
rumbling by he called attention to the fact
that the vibrations could be felt in the feet
and head by leaning the cranium on the
back of a chair.
EFFECT OF AN EXPEEIMENT.
Striking the tuning-fork on the floor, he
then put the handle end on the back of the
reporter's head, and run it up and down the
spine, when the same sensation as that from
the rumbling wagon was felt, though in
creased in volume. Putting it on tbe feet,
the same thing was repeated. The office
being back from the street, the vibrations
were weakened to that ot the tuning-fork
when struck lightly.
WHAT OTHEE DOCTORS SAID.
Several other doctors were talked to on
the subject, but, while agreeing that the
rough pavement was a potent factor in the
prevalence of nervous diseases, they relused
to allow their names to be mentioned. Cases
of "railway spine," caused by the constant
shaking a locomotive engineer has to en
dure, were mentioned as showing the result
of shaking when it becomes violent. Some
of them were in favor of asphalt pavements,
and others were a little chary of it, as they
said its durability had not been assured.
All agreed that some pavement with tbe
smoothness of asphalt must be put down in
the cities or Americans will become as nerv
ous as Frenchmen
"When the vibrations of the fork are in
creased in number it produces a peculiar
sensation of light pain or weariness found in
nervous persons. If a person has some dis
ease 01 the nervous system and the fork is
applied to the part, it is like biting on an
ulcerated tooth.
The.clanging of the register bell in the
street cars, Dr. Ayres said, also had a great
tendency to aggravate nervous diseases, and
he says it must be abolished as necessary to
tbe perfect health and bodily comtort of all
citizens.
Said one physician: "If all the streets"
weie paved smoothly like the eastern end of
Forbes street the entire city could be washed
every night by opening the fireplugs, thus
clearing away the organic matter which, if
allowed to remain, forms a nest for the
breeding of disease germs. With the stone
block pavement the crevices catch all the
dirt and orcanic filth, and here disease
germs breed, it being impossible to wash
this filth out of the crevices."
It isn't altogether easy for a man to talk
about himself, but when he has been
through a notable experience it is only him
self who can adequately describe it. It was
indeed a notable experience that the speaker
in this case passed through. That its de
tails are still firmly fixed in his mind is
shown by the distinctness with which he de
scribes them.
"It may not seem." said Mr. McQrew.
very important to anybody else, but it was
rashly important to me, for I felt, as did my
friends, that my trouble could not help but
end in my being obliged to give up work
and everything else, I was failing so stead
ily and surely.
"I can hardly say when it began," he
continued, "but I commenced to notice it
especially after an attack of malaria, some
years ago. It was chiefly in my head at
first There would be ah aching feeling at
the back of my head, near the base of my
skull, sometimes a dull, heavy pain in the
forehead, just over the eyes. My nostrils
would be clogged up, first one and then the
other.
"After a time the trouble seemed to ex
tend to my eyes and ears. My sigbtbecame
dim. My eyes would fill with water and
become so weak- and inflamed that I could
hardly see to read. If I would overtax
tbem in the least -by reading thev would
ache and pain me so that X could hardly
bear it Sounds like ringing and bulling
would cOrae in my earsand I could see that
my hearing was being affected.
"As the trouble extended my throat be
came very seriously involved. I would
catch cold on the slightest provocation. My
throat would feel raw and inflamed and
sometimes would get so sore that it would
be hard for me to swallow. In snite ol
everything I could do the trouble kept get
ting a stronger hold upon me.
"I had to be continually hawking and
raising to clear my throat. Something
would seem to stick there that I could not
get up or down. I could feel the mucus
dropping back, and sometimes I would have
choking and coughing spells that would
leave me feeling miserable.
"My stomach became very much deranged.
There would be a feeling of discomfort and
nausea after eating, and what I did eat
seemed to lie there like a load or weight
Frequently I would sit down to the table
ieeling very hungry. Then I could only
eat a few mouthfuls. The sight oremell o'f
food seemed to take away my appetite.

"In later years there would be a dry.fever
ish kind of feeling in my.throat. Sharp
shooting pains would take me in the chest,
running through to the shoulder blades. An
aching feeling, more like a horrible sensa
tion of weakness than anything else, would
come in the small of my back.
"Dizzy spells would come over me fre
quently, accompanied by palpitation of the
heart. This would sometimes leave me
weak and faint My sleep did not seem to
refresh me and I would get up in the morn
ing feeling more tired than when I went to bed
at night. "
"Night sweats came on and wakened me
terribly. 1 would have feverish spells, followed
by a cold, chilly sensation. I tried many phy
sicians, but in spite of everything I could do, I
grew steadily weaker and worse, losing flesh
all the time.
"When I went to Drs. Copeland & Blair the
night sweats were Increasine in frequency, and
I was growing weaker rapidly. Although they
dia not make any marvelous promises, I felt
that they would cure me. I improved steadily
from the start under their treatment. My
throat became well. The night sweats disap
peared. I gamed back my lost weight and
strength. The pains in the chest, and the weak,
aching feeling in tbe small of my back passed
away. I slept well, eat well and felt well. I am
strong and well now, quite like another person
from what I was when I first went to Drs. Cope
land and Blair."

About the middle of last May Miss Lottie
J. Forker, of 299 Arch street, Meadville,
Pa., placed herself under treatment by mail
with Drs. Copeland & "Blair. Her trouble
had so completely involved her whole sys
tem as to almost entirely deprive her of the
ability to perform her duties at home. In
stating her case by letter just previous to
the date above mentioned she complained of
terrible headaches, follow ed by spells of vomit
in?, which would compel her to lie in bed for
24 hours, after which she would be completely
worn out. Sharp pain in the breast, extendlne
through to the shoulder blades, and followed
by others in her stomach and side.
On Juno 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is do
ing me good, I do not feel so tired, and my head
has only ached twice, and that was caused by a
fresh cold I caught."
June 10 sbe wrote: "I am still improving.
Your treatment ir doinn me a crcat deal of
good. -n June zs: "x am aoie to see still
lurther improvement." On July 2 her letter
stated that sho was feeling very well.
August 5 she wrote: "I have had but one
heatlacho sinco I last wrote you and ara im
proving in every way." August 28 she wrote:
I fpel quite like a different woman from the
one I was when 1 commonced jour treatment.
Although I have always said that I would not
have my name in print, am quite willing that
you should make a short statement of what
your treatment has done, for me. Shall be
pleased to answer any inquiries that maybe
made regarding it."
Some time ago Mr. M. C. Wilson, of Canons
burg, Pa., placed himself under treatment, by
mail, with Drs. Copeland & Blair. His
catarrhal trouble had extended until it bad in
volved his whole system. In stating his case
by letter early in July he complained of a full,
heavy feeling in his head over the eyes, a bad
tabte in the mouth, coughing and raising
phlegm, dimness of sight, sharp pains in tbe
cbest with a tigbt pinched feeling and soreness
in the lungs, and a weak and shaky condition
of the limbs.
July 25. he wrote: "I am Improving steadily;
feel evtr so much better than 1 have In years."
August 8 he wrote: ".My bead and throat feel
clear. I sleep well and eat well, and feel better
in every way." Aucust 16 be wrote: "I feel

I commenced vour treatment, and I am quite
