have been to the Mill, it's just as well not to
talk about the poaching and George Forrester
before Ruth Ponlctt. You see it's rather a
Bore subject with her. She was engaged to that
George Forrester, and a lot of trouble it gave
her father and mother. Well, I expect she
must hare seen now that she bad a lucky es
cape. Still, a Ctrl don't like a man as she has
liked being spoken against, so I thought that I
would Bay a word to you."
Thank, you. That's yery friendly of you.
Yes, you may be sure that 1 won't introduce the
subject. I am very glad you told me, or I might
have blundered upon it and hurt the girl's feel
ings. She doesn't look very strong, cither.
She has a nervous look about her, I think."
"She used to be very different, but she had a
great shock; she was the first, you know, to go
into Miss fame's room and find her dead. Bhe
was her mala before that and she was ill for
weeks after. It came on the top of an illness.
too; sbe fell down on the bill coming home
from church, and they found her lying insens
ible there and she was very bad, had the doctor
there every day. Ihen came this oilier affair,
and I daresay this business of George For
rester's helped too. Anyhow she was very bad,
and the doctor thought at one time that she
wouldn't get over it,"
Mr. Armstrong walked home thoughtfully,
"Well, father, what is your newsT" Mary
Armstrong said, as she entered. "1 can see
ynu have heard something more than usual."
"Well, my dcar.l don't know that it's anything,
bat at the same time it certainly is nex, and
gives us something to follow up. It seems that
there was a fellow named George Forrester
living somewhere about here and he was en
caged to ur friend, Ruth Powlett. but her
father and mother disapproved of it highly. It
scem! he was a bad lot; he got mixed up with a
gang of poachers, and somo little time before
this murder, about thrro weeks they said, they
had a fight witli Mr. Game's keepers; one of
the keepers was mortallywonndcd.it was said
by this George Forrester. The man lived for
sums time, but at List died of the wound, and
the jury brought in a verdict of willful murder
against George Forrester, who had been
missing from the time f the fight."
"Ye, father, but that seems no great clue."
Perhaps rot, Mary, but it shows at least
that there was one fellow about here who migfct
he considered to hare had a quarrel with the
Curries, and who was a thoroughly bad charac
ter, and who and this is of importance was
engaged, with or without ner parents' consent,
to Miss Carne's onn maid."
Mary cave a little gasp of excitement.
'Now it seems further." her father went on,
"that some lime between this poaching affray
a-d the murder I could not inquire closely
into dates Ruth Powlett was found insensible
on the rnad going up the hill, and was very ill
for tome daysjsbo baid she had had a fall, and
ot course she might havo had, although it is
not often young women fall down so heavily as
to stun themselves but tt may of course have
been something else."
"What else, father?"
"Weil, it is possible sbe mav have met this
lover ot hers, ana that tbev may have had a
quarrel. Probably sbe knew he had been en
caged in this poaching affair, and may. have
told hi in that she would have nothing more to
do with him, and lie may have knocked ber
down. Of course, this is all mere supposition,
but it is only by supposition that we can grope
our way along. It seems she was well enough
anyhow to go up to her place again at the
Hold, for sbe was the first to discover the mur
der, and the shock was so great that she was ill
for weeks, in fact in great danger; they say sbe
has been greatly changed ever since. I don't
know whether anything can be made of that,
my dear."
"1 don't know. I don't see what, father,"
aiary saia, auer lain King lor some time, "un
less she is fancying since that it was this man
who did it. Of course, anyhow, it would be a
f earful shock for a girl to find her mistress
lying murdered, and perhaps it may be nothing
more than that."
"So doubt, it may benotbing more than that.
Mary; but it's the other side of the case we
have to look at. We must piece the things to
gether. Here we have four or hvo facts all of
which may tell. Here is a bad character in the
village; that is one point. This man had a
poaching affray with Mr. Carne's keepers: he
killed, or at any rate the coroner's jury found
that ho killed, one of the keepers. He is en
gaged to Miss Carne's own maid. This maid is
just after this poaching business found insen
sible in the wood, and tells rather an improb
able story as to how it came about, bhe is the
first to enter ber mistress' room, and then she
lias a .-crious illness. Of course, any girl would
be shocked and frightened and upset, but it is
not so often that a serious illness would be the
result. And, lastly, sho has been changed ever
since. She has as you remarked to me the
other day, an absenr, pre-occupied sort of wav
about her. Taken altogether, these things cer
tainly do amount to something."
"I think so, too. father; I think so, too,"
Maty Armssro rig said, walking up and down
the little room in her excitement. "I do think
there must be something in it, and you see,
father, after this poachiug business, the man
wanted to get away, and he may have been in
want of money, and so have thought of taking
Miss Carne's watch and jewels to raiso money
to take him abroad."
"So he might, my dear. That is certainly a
feasible exilanation,but unfortunately instead
of taking them away, yen see he buried them."
"Ye, father, but he only just pushed them
into the ground, the report said, because on
reading through the old files of the newspapers
the other day I particularly noticed that."
"Perhaps just as be was leaving the bouse a
dog may have barked, or something may have
given him a scare, and he justhid them in the
ground, intending to come for them next day:
and then, what with the excitement and the
police here, and the search that was being
made, he could get no opportunity of getting
them up airain, and being afraid of being ar
rested himBelf for his share in the poaching
affray, he dared not hang about heie any lon
ger, but probably went down to Plymouth and
got on board ship there."
"It really all does feem probable, father.
There is only one difficulty that I can see.
Why should he have killed Miss Carne? be
cause 'he doctors say that she was certainly
aslee ."
"We cannot tell, dear. She may hare moved
a little. He may have thought that sho would
wake and that ho had better make sure. He
was a desperate man, and there is no saying
what a desperate man will do. Anyhow, Mary,
this isa clew, and a distinct one, and we must
follow it up. It may lead us wrong in the end,
but we shall not be losing time following it, for
I shall keep my ears open, and mav find some
other and altogether different track"
"How had we better follow it!" Mary asked,
after having sat silent for some minutes. "This
Forrester is gone, and we have no idea where.
I think tlio only person likely to be able to help
us is Ituth Powlett."
"Kxactly so, my dear."
"And she would not he likely to speak. If she
knows anything she would have said it at the
time had she not wished to shield this man,
whom she may love in spite of his wickedness."
"Quite so. my dear, and beside." and he
smiled, "young women in love are not disposed
to believe in their lover's guilt."
"How can you say so. father?" Mary said in
dignantly: "you would not compare "
"No. no. Mary; 1 would not compare the two
men: but I think you will admit that even had
the evidence against Ronald Mervvn been ten
times as conclusive a3 It was, jou" would still
have maintained his innocence against all the
world."
"Of course I should, father."
"Quite so. my dear; that is what I am saying:
liowever, if our supposition is correct in this
case, the girl does believe him to be guilty, but
she wishes to shield liim, cither because sho
loves him still or has loved him. It is astonish
ing how women will cling to men even
when they know them to be -villains. I think,
dear, that the best way of proceeding will be
for yon to endeavor to find out from Ruth Pow
lett what she knows. Of course it will be a
gradual matter, and you can only do it when
she has got to know and like you thoroughly."
"But, father." Mary said hesitatingly, "will
it not be a treacherous thing for me to become
friends with her for the purpose of gaming her
secretT"
"It depends how yon gain it, Marv. Cer
tainly it would bo so were yon to get it'surrerj
titiossly. That is not the way I should pro
pose. If this girl has really any proof
or really anything like Strong evidence that
the murder was committed by this roan
Forrester, she is acting wrongly and cmelly to
another to allow the guilt to fa'll upon him. In
time, when jou get intimate with her, intimate
enough to introduce the subject, the point
would be to impress this upon her so strongly
as toindnceherto mako an open confession.
Of course you could point out to her that this
could now in no way injure the mn who is her
lover, as ho has gono no one knows 'where, and
will certainly never return to this country, as
upon his appoaranco be would at once bo ar
rested and tried on the charge of killing the
gamekeeper. All this would be perfectly open
and above board. Of course you could, if you
deemed tt expedient, own your own strong in
terest in the matter. There wonld be nothing
treacherous in this. dear. You simply urge ber
to do an act of justice. Or course It will be
painful for her to do so, after concealing It so
long. Still, I should think from the little I have
seen ol her that she is a conscientious girl ana
is, I doubt not, already sorely troubled in her
mind over the matter."
"Yes. father. I acTce with von. Thern wnnlri
be nothing treacherous in that, 1 have simply
to try to get her to make a confession of any
thing sho may know in the matter. I quite
agree with you in all you have said about the
man. but 1 do not see bow Ruth Powlett can
know anything for certain, whatever she may
suspect: foril she was. as you say, dangerously
ill lor a long time after the murder, she cannot
very well have seen the man, who would be
sure to hare quitted the country at once."
1 am airaid that that is so, Marv. Still, we
must hope for the best, and if sbe cannot give
up absolute eritlence herself, what sho says
may at lease nut us in tho right track for o'v
taininc it: or if no .legal evidence can be ob
tained, we might get enough clews, with what
we have already, to convince tho world that
whereas hitherto there seemed no alternative
open as to Merryn's guilt, there was in fact
another against whom there is at any rate a
certain amount of proof and whose character
ii as bad as that of Captain Merryn is good.
This would in itself be a great step. Merryn
has been acquitted, bat as no one else is shown
to have been connected with it in anyway,
people are compelled, in spite of bis previous
character, in spite of his acquittal, in spite in
tact eren of probability to cpnsider him guilty.
Once shown that there is at least reasonable
ground for suspicion against another, and the
opinion, at any rate of all who know Mervyn,
wonld at once veer round."
"Very well, father; now you have done your
part of the work by finding out the clew, 1 mil
do mine by following it up. Fortunately, Buth
Powlett is a very superior sort of girl to any
one in the village, and 1 can make friends with
her heartily and without pretense, f. should
have found it very hard it she had been a rough
sort of girl, but she expresses herself just as
well as I do and seems very gentle and nice.
One can seo that even that sharp-voiced step
mother of hers is very fond oi ber, and she is
the apple of the miller's eye. But you must not
be impatient, father; two girls can't besome
great friends all at once."
"I think, on the whole. Miss Armstrong." her
fatber said, "you are quite as likely to become
impatient as I am, seeing that it is your busi
ness much more than mine."
"Well, you may be sure I shall not lose more
time than I can help, father," Mary Armstrong
laughed. "You don t know how joyous I feel
to-nlgbt, I have always been hopeful, but it did
seem so vague before. Mow that wo have got
what we think to be a clew and can set to work
at once, I feel ever so much nearer to seeing
Ronald again."
The consequence of this conversation was
that Mary Armstrong went very frequently
down to the mill and induced Ruth Powlett,
sometimes, to come up and sit with her.
"I am very glad, Mr. Armstrong." Hiram
Powlett said, one evening, when they hap
pened to be the first two to arrive in the snug
gery, "that my Ruth seems to take to your
daughter. It's a real comfort to Hesba and
me. You would nave thought that she would
have taken to some of the girls she went to
school with, but she hasn't. I suppose she is
too quiet for them, and they are too noisy for
her. Anyhow, until now she has never had a
friend, and I think it will do her a world of
good. It's bad for a girl to be alone, and espe
cially a girl like Ruth. I don't mind telling
you, Mr. Armstrong, that Hesba and I have an
idea that sho has got something on her mind,
she has been so changed altogether since Miss
Carne's murder. I might have thought thatsbe
bad fretted about that scamp Forrester going
away, for at one time the girl was very fond of
him, but beforo it happened she told me that
she bad found out that sho was wrong, and
that she would break it off altogether with
him; so you see I don't think that his going
away had an) thing to do with it. Once or
twice I thought she was going to say something
particular to me, but she has never said it, and
sbe sits there and broods and broods till it
makes my heartache to see her. Now she has
got your daughter to be friends with, perhaps
she may shake it off."
"I hope she may, Mr. Powlett. It's a bad
thing for a girl to mope. I know Marv likes
jour daughter very much. Perhaps, if she has
anvtning on ner uiina, sue win ten juary one oi
these days. You see, when girls get to be
friends they open their hearts to each other as
they won't do to anyone else."
"I don't see what she can have on her mind,"
the miller said, ;baking bis bead. "It may only
be a fancy of mine. Hesba and I hare talked
it over a score of times."
"Very likely it's nothing, after all." Mr.
Armstrong said: "girls get strange fancies into
their heads, and make mountains out of mole
hills. It may be nothing at terall; still, perhaps
she would be all the better for the telling
of it."
Hiram Powlett shook bis head. "Ruth isn't
a girl to havo fancies," he said. "If she is
fretting, she is fretting over something serious.
I don't know why I am talking so to you, Mr.
Armstrong, for I have never spoken to anyone
else about it; but your daughter seems to have
taken so kindly to Ruth that it seems natural
ior me to speak to you."
"I am glad you have done so, Mr. Powlett
and I hope that good may come from our talk."
It was not until a fortnight after this chat
that Mary had anything to communicate to her
fatber. She bad told him that whenever sho
turned the conversation upon the topic of the
murder of Miss Carne. Ruth evidently shrank
so much from it that she was obliged to change
the subject.
"To-day. father. I took the bull by the horns.
Ruth bad been sitting there for some time
working without sayinga word, and I asked her
suddenly, as if it was what I had been thinking
over while we were silent: "Whatis your opin
ion. Rutb? So you think that Captain Mervyn
really murdered his cousin? She turned pale.
Sbe has never much color, you know, but she
went as white as a sheet, and then said, 'I am
quite sure that he did not do it, but I don't like
talking about it.' No, of course not,' I said.
I can quite understand that after the ter
rible shock you bad. Still, it is awful
to think that this Captain Mervyn
should have been driven away from his home
and made an outcast of if he is innocent.' 'It
serves him right,' Ruth said passionately.
How dare he insult and threaten my dear
Miss Margaret? Nothing is too bad for him.'
I can't quite agree with you there.' I said. 'No
doubt be deserv ed to be punished, and he must
have been punished by being tried for bis cous
in's murder: but to think of a man spending all
his life, branded unjustly with the crime of
murder, is something too terrible to think or.'
I dare say he is doing very well,' sho said after
a pause. 'Doing well,' I said, 'doing well! What
can you be thinking of, Ruth? What sort of
doing well can there be for a man who knows
at any moment that be may be recognized, that
his story may be whispered about, and that his
neighbors may shrink away from him: that his
wife, if be ever marries, may come to believe
that her husband is a mnrderer; that bis chil
dren may bear the curse of Cain upon them?
It is too terrible to think of. If Captain Merryn
is guilty, he ought to hare been hung; if ho is
innocent, he is one of the moat unfortunate men
in the world.' Ruth didn't say anything, but
she was so temblywbitethatlthoughtshe was
going to faint. She tried to get up, "b 1 1 could
see sbe couldn't, and 1 ran and got her a glass
of water. Her hand shook so that she could
hardly hold it to her lips. After she drank some
she sat for a minute or two quiet, then she
murmured something about a sudden faintness
aud that she would go home. I persuaded ber
to star a few minutes longer. At last she got
tip. 'I am subject to fainting fits.' she said; 'it
is very silly, hut I cannot help it. Yes, perhaps
what you sav about Captain Merryn is right,
but I never quite saw it so before. Good-bye,
and then sue went off, though I could see
she was scarcely able to walk
steadily. Ob, father. I feel quite, quite sure
that she knows something; that she can prore
that Ronald ts innocent if she chooses; and I
think that sooner or later sbe will choose. First
of all she was so decided in ber assertion that
Ronald was innocent; she did not say 'I think,'
or 'believe' she said 'I am quite sure.' She
would never hare said that unless she knew
something quite positive. Then the way that
she burst out that it served him right, seems to
me, and I have been thinking about it ever
since she went away an hour ago, as if she had
been trying to convince herself that it was
right that ue snouiq suner, and to soothe her
own conscience fornot saying what would prove
him innocent."
"It looks like it, Mary; it certainly looks like
it. We are on the right trail, mygirUI am
sure. That was a very heavy blow you struck
her to-day, and she evidently felt it so. Two
or three more such blows and the victory will
be won. I have no doubt now that Rnth Pow
lett somehow holds the key of this strange mys
tery in her hand, and I think that what you
have said to her to-day will go a long way to
ward Inducing her to nnlork it, Forrester was
the murderer of Miss Carne, I hare not a
shadow of doubt, though how she knows for
certain is more than I can even guess."

ROYALTY'S ROMANCE $
Vie subject cf a very interesting article by
Olive Weston in to-morrwf Dispatch.
CUSTOMS IN EUSSIA.
Mr. Charles Fayes Speaks of the Land
of the Czar and the Cossack.
THEIR PESKY CUSTOM OFFICERS.
Some Street Regulations Not Common to
Other Countries.
GREAT POPDLAEITI OP THE CZARINA
M. Charles Fayes, the eminent French
traveler, an interview with whom appeared
in Tiie Dispatch ol a few days ago, told a
reporter last night some of his Russian ex
periences. He is acquainted with the Czar's
private physician, and is thus in a good po
sition to speak of the great Bomanoff despot
with accuracy. The Czar is, says M.
Fayes on the authority of the physician
alluded to a man of wit and intelli
gence, but possessed of unconquerable ob
stinacy. To this may be ascribed his
steady refusal to favor the granting of a
liberal constitutfou to his vast dominions.
The Czarina is, like her sister, the Princess
of "Wales, immensely popular with the de
mocracy, and she takes advantage of this
fact to accompany her husband on every ex
pedition, however trivial. The Nihilists do
not want to hurt her, and thus the Czar has
escaped death on many occasions. Death,
he thinks, must come to him by Nihilist
hands within a short space of time unless he
cheats the lurking assassin by a natural
death.
Mr. Favea has traveled extensively in
Russia, and his wife is a Eussian lady, of
good family. He says the most disagreea
ble thing iii connection with the country is
the getting there. He traveled by the Wil
son line to Riga, some years ago. When in
port, the Custom House officersboarded the
vessel, and proceeded to examine the bag
gage of the passengers.
very exacting PEIXtyWS.
These officers are old army men and very
exact in performing their duties. They
take every article of clothing or otherwise
out of the trunks, shake it, examine it to see
that there is nothing inscribed npon it, and
then request to be told its exact value, us
or significance. For ornamental or superr
fluous articles they charge a heavy fluty, on
which they pocket a percentage. The ex
amination of a single trunk in this manner
olten occupies an hour or more.
No sooner are the custom officers gone
than the passport officers arrive. These
gentlemen request to be shown everyone's
SassDort. One lady, on board the ship with
Ir. Fayes, had omitted to get a passport in
London". She was promptly locked up in
her cabin and closely guarded until the
British Consul arrived. He had no power
to grant a passport, but telegraphed to the
foreign office in London for one. It was
three days before the passport came.
Another day was consumed in useless for
malities, and it was not till the fifth day
that the ladv got ashore. Yet this ladv's
brother was a prominent aud peaceful resi
dent at Riga. Your passport is good for any
portion of Eussia, but when you go into any
large town, like Moscow or St. Petersburg,
you must render it up temporarily, receiv
ing in exchange a local pass. When about
to leave the town you are given back your
original papers and set out afresh.
The military police walk on the streets
not on the sidewalks, but in midcauseway.
If they notice any strange or suspicious
persons, they at once demand their papers.
To be without the passport is to be a Nihi
list, and the unfortunate is soon lodged in
jail. The street laws are very curious.
Each street has a night watchman, arid
these watchmen are provided with keys
which will open any door in the street. A
gentleman returning late at night, is re
quired to go to his street watchman, who, if
satisnea ot nis identity, opens nis aoor ior
him.
A. lOLITE PEOPLE.
The Eussian people, Mr. Fayes declares,
are polite to excess. They bow vou upstairs,
they bow you downstairs and close the door
behind yon with a genuflexion. The ser
vant who lets you in at daytime kisses your
hand and curtseys deeply. They have a
curious after-dinner custom which at first
puzzles the traveler greatly. When dinner
is over, and he feels like resting, all the
guests go up to the hostess, one by one, and
solemnly shake hands with her. The
startled guest at first thinks this means
"goodby," but it is only a Eussian custom,
Atter dinner the ladies retire to a drawing
room, and the gentlemen to a smoking
apartment, where they remain for "the
sacred half hour."
The Russians all wear the Astrakhan
furs, not the imitation stuff American pluto
crats are gulled into buying, bnt real
astrakhan. Dnring the summer, each per
son gives his furs to a keeper, who is bound
to preserve them from moths and decay,
until winter comes round once more.
Wherever yon go in Eussia, you are ex
pected to scatter copecks. A copeck is a
very small coin indeed, being about half
the value of a cent. The rouble is equal to
about 50 cents.
Eussia is extremely cheap if 'oni engages
a living in a private house. Bnt as in
other countries hotels and boarding houses
are exorbitant in their charges. A sub-lieutenant
in the Eussian army gets about $750,
and on this he can support a wife and family
and move in the best society. The droskies.or
two wheeled carriages, can be hired for 6
cents to any place within the city limits.
As the drivers do not know any language
but Eussian. and as, in cold weather, it is
disagreeable to talk, a novel way of telling
the direction in which one wishes to go is
adopted.
IT ANSWEES THE PUBPOSE.
The passenger, with his cane, taps the
driver on his right arm, if he wants to go to
the right, on the left arm, if he wishes to turn
to the left If be has not a cane, it is
customary to pull the left or right coat tail
of the driver. The Enssians are great eat
ers and terrible drinkers. It, is customary
with ship captains visiting Eussian ports to
carry a small cargo of whisky.
One day two Eussian boatmen boarded
the vessel upon which Mr. Fayes was going
to St. Petersburg. The Captain at once sent
for a bottle ot Irish whisky, and ponred
nearly half of it into "a big goblet.
handing the draught to one of
the men. Two gulps sufficed to
swallow the gobletful. The Captain then
filled a second drink for the other boatman,
but the latter turned sadly away, saying:
"Little father, I cannot drink it"
"How is that?" asked the Captain, aston
ished at this unusual refusal.
"Why," replied the Russian, "if I drink
mf wnisfcy I'll surely kill Nicholas here"
indicating the one'who had just drank
your i
"and I wouldn't like to kill him, for he is
an old friend."
The reason was satisfactory, and he was
not pressed to drink.
Mr. Fayes' Eussian adventures wonld fill
a book, but they are utterly dwarfed by his
travels in Asia, Africa, and other portions
of Europe. '

cough."
The speaker ras Mr. Charles B. Wiexel,
of 183 Cass avenue, Allegheny, and is en
gaged at Sweeney's Hotel, which is located
in the same, city.
"The trouble at first seemed to be small,
but it steadily grew worse. I began to feel
that there was something wrong with my
nasal organs and bronchial tubes. My nos
trils would clog up, first on one side and
then on the other. There was a dry, fever
ish feeling inside. My throat would choke
np, and there seemed to be a weight
pressing on my chest that at times
almost suffocated me. I had a
dull, heavy pain over my eyes, and a con
stant ringing and buzzing "noises in my ears.
I was continually hawking and spitting. I
could feel the murus dropping back into
my throat, and I would raise large quanti
ties of dark, greenish matter, especially in
the morning. My eyes became weak, and
discharged a watery substance. My hear
ing was affected, and I realized that I would
soon become deaf.
Mr. Charles B. Wiexel, 1SS Cass Avenue.
"My sleep did not refresh me. I would
get up in the morning feeling tired and un
rated, in fact more tired than when I went
to bed. My appetite failed me, and I found
I was growing weaker and losing flesh
rapidlv. I had night sweats, and my limbs
were swollen. There were sharp pains in
my chest extending through to the shoulder
blades.
"My worst trouble was with my head and
nose. The latter would get so stopped up
that I could not getanyair through the pas
sages at all. I had to breathe' almost en
tirely through my mouth. My condition
kept getting worse, and finally verged into
what the physicians termed epilensy. I
had several epileptic fits, two of them in
one day, and my friends became seriously
alarmed for my life. I tried all sorts of
remedies and consnlted various physicians,
but obtained no relief. Instead I kept get
ting worse.
"Finally I noticed a case in one of the
newspapers similar to my own, which had
been treated and cured by Drs. Copeland
and Blair. I called to see them. They did
not promise to perform any miracles, but I
felt that they could help me. On examina
tion they found that the passages of my
note were completely stopped up with
polypi little tumors that resulted from the
irritating progress of catarrh. They re
moved these without causing me any pain.
Once more I could breathe freely through my
nose, and you can imagine what a relief it was.
"After this I improved rapidly under their
treatment The night sweats and swelling in
my limbs stopped. I have no ringing in my
ears and can hear distinctly. There is no more
dropping in my throat. All traces of my epi
lepsy have entirely disappeared. The pains in
my chest have left me. 1 sleep well and get up
feeling refreshed. I eat well, and have gained
in strength and flesh. In fact, I am to-day per
fectly well, and all traces of my tronble have
disappeared."
Mr. Charles B. Wiexel lives, as stated, at 183
Cass avenue, Allegheny, and his statement can
be easily verified,
Additional Evidence by Mall,
A short time ago Mr. John Wright, of
Chicago Junction, O., placed himself under
treatment by mail with Drs. 'Copeland &
Blair. In writing abouthis trouble he said:
"Two years ago I was ill with lung fever
ana never fully recovered from it. I could
not sleep at night. The mucus would drop
back into my throat, and I would wake up
feeling as though I was choking. Large
scabs would come from my nostrils when
ever I used my handkerchief. They would
often be streaked with blood. My eyes were
affected and were continually running a
watery substance. I was unable to attend
to my duties, feeling weak and tired all the
time. I had a hacking cough and ringing
noises in my ears. Gradually I noticed I
was becoming deaf. I wonld have dizzy
spells and my memory failed me. I had
pains in my chest and had no appetite.
"A short time after I commenced treating
with Drs. Copeland & Blair I noticed an
improvement. The dropping in my throat
stopped, my cough and the pains in my chest
left me. I can now sleep and eat well. The
result has been a great surprise to me, as I had
given up all hope of ever getting well again."
About the middle of last May Miss Lottie J.
Forker, of 299 Arch street, Meadville. Pa.,
E laced herself under treatment by mail with
irs. Copeland & Blair. In stating her case by
letter just previous to the date above men
tioned she complained ot terrible headaches,
followed by spells of vomiting, which would
compel her to lie in bed for 24 hours, after
which she would be completely worn out.
Sharp pain in the breast, extending through to
the shoulder blades, and followed by others in
ber stomach and side.
On J une 0 she wrote: "Your medicine is doing
mo good, I do not feel so tired, and myhead
has only ached twice, and that was caused by a
fresh cold I caught"
On July 2 her letter Btated that she was feel
ing very well.
August 26 she wrote: "I feel quite like a dif
ferent woman from the one I was when I com
menced your treatment."
Some time ago Mr. M. C. Wilson, of Canons
burg, Pa., placed himself under treatment, by
mail, with Drs. Copeland & Blair. In stating
bis case by letter early in July, be complained
of a full, heavy feeling in his head over the
eyes, a bad taste in tbe mouth, coughing and
raising phlegm, dimness of sight, sharp pains
in the chest, with a tight, pinched feeling and
soreness in the lungs and a weak and shaky
condition of the limbs.
July 25 he wrote: "I am improving steadilv;
feel ever so much better than I have in years"
August 16 he wrote: "I feel like a different
being from the one I was when I commenced
your treatment, and I am quite willing that a
short statement of what your treatment has
done for me should be made In the papers."
