THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9,' 1889.
A NIGHT OF TERROR,

"WEiTiEjr rem The Dispatch All Bights Eeseeved .
There could hardly have been s much
happier man in the world than young Hugh
Kevehton vhcn he reached Niagara on his
way to Quebec. He was a young Londoner,
who was just beginning to make his way at
the bar, and he was now going out to
Quebec to marry the girl whom he loved.
She was an English girl, but her father had
long been living in Quebec, and had made
a fortune there; and he was a dear old
friend of Hugh Revelston's father and
mother. Naturally he made visits to Lon
don pretty often, and brought his two
daughters with him when they grew up.
Hugh Bevelston fell in love with the
younger and she fell in love with him, and
everything was satisfactorily arranged, and
they were to be married with the gladsome
consent of both the familes, with only the
proviso that Hugh and Marie should, if
possible, go out every long vacation to
spend a few days in Quebec.
This was Hugh's lirst visit to the TJnited
States or Canada. He went by New York,
but naturally did not stay very long there.
His soul was already in Quebec. But he
acted on the advice of many of his friends,
when he consented to absent himself, as
Hamlet says, from felicity awhile at least
so long as to break his journey and spend
one night and part of one day at Niagara,
in order to have a look at the falls and the
rapids. He reached Niagara rather early
one evening, and took up his quarters on
the American side of the river. He went
out before dinner and had a good look at
the falls trom both the American and Can
adian side.
; I entertain no idea of giving a long de
scription, or indeed any description, ot the
Falls of Niagara or of the rapids, or of the
various islands that are such delightlnl
spots on which to spend an hour of enchant
ment. No; I entreat my readers not to be
alarmed. We have already descriptions
more than enough; and then those who live
in London or who come up to London at
any time can go and have a look at the
Niagara Exhibition, which I do not say is
quite as good as the real tbing, but which I
will positively sav is ever so much better
than any description ot the real thing that
I could hope to give. But, on the remote
possibility of there actually being persons
HE IiAT THEEE, nOESED
who have never seen the real Niagara
or the painted and built-up Niagara,
or read any description of Niagara, it will
be enongh for the purposes of this sketch of
a thrilling event in a man's life if they will
picture to themselves a vast body of water
tailing in two great separate cataracts, and
two or three smaller shoots, down, down be
tween steep and sometimes almost sheer
clayey and rocky banks a huge river, in
fact, suddenly finding itself on the edge of a
tremendous precipice, and having no choice
bnt to plunge with its whole body and bulk
of water over the precipice and down. This
it does with a thunder which man's artil
lery cannot rival and a foam that the wind
blows far and wide into clonds.
Hugh Eevelston walked back to his hotel
and across the great Suspension bridge,
which, for all its bulk, seems to sway and
shiver over the rapids. He had his dinner,
and he wrote, of course, to the girl in Quebec;
and then the moon began to shine, and the
night looked tempting, and he thought it
would be delightful to see the falls under
such new conditions. He crossed again to
the Canadian side, and he sauntered along
smoking a cigar, past the great hotel, the
Cliiton House, and on until he came in
front of one of the little museums where
they sell photographs and Indian curiosi
ties and all manner of memorials
and relics of the place. He went into
one of these and got into some talk
with a very fine old fellow who kept it, and
I hope is keeping it still. The owner of the
little museum was quite an independent
man in his way, and he held on to the
museum rather to have something to do
than for the sake of making money; and, in
deed, if you were at all an agreeable
customer, or rather than agreeable person
age whether vou became a customer or not,
the chances were many to one that you were
presently invited to smoke a very excellent
cigar nor perhaps was there even wanting
a taste of some irreproachable bourbon.
Hugh questioned him about his experi
ences and recollections of the place. "Oh,
yes. surely; it was .wonderfully changed; it
was changing every day." The whole shape
of the tails on the Canadian side had
changed, and not within so very long a time.
On the other side, too why, the famous
Terrapin Tower, which stood on ton its rock,
and used to be an object of curiosity to all
visitors not many years ago there are lots
of old photographs of the falls still lying
about here and there with the Terrapin
Tower in them and where was the Terra
pin Tower now? Swept away by a sudden
rush of the river one wild night. 'Why, the
door of that museum used to be far removed
from the edge of the fall at one time, and
see how near comparatively near it was
nowl Some fine day, perhaps, tbey should
have a further warning, and then the mu
seum would have to be removed further
back, so as to be ont of danger. But that
wouldn't be in his time, he fancied.
Learned people and scientists, and men of
that sort, actually said the time would come
when the rnsh of the river would wear away
all the high ground and there would be no
falls any more, only the great Niagara river
flowing along its leveled bed to the lake and
the sea. But that, the veteran added with
a chuckle, would certainly not come' in his
time no, nor even in the time cf tbe young
man with whom he was talking. They
talked a good while, and at length it be
icame necessary that the museum should be

bade him a kindly farewell, as he was push
ing on to Quebec with the early morning.
The house was closed nearly all the honses
were closed. The place was quiet except
for the eternal thunder of the falls; and
that sound seemed somehow to make the
silence elsewhere more deep. It was a night
of autumn.
Hugh beean to meditate over the continual
change in the shape of the falls; over the
frequent landslips and the crash of table
rock and all the other phenomena of which
the old man had told him. His mind tried
to form a picture of the scene when after the
lapse of long generations there were to be
no more falls, and of the various changes in
the landscape which would have to be gone
through first. The subject had a sort of
strange fascination for him. It entranced
him; it appalled him. He flung himselt on
the ground, near enough to the edge to have
a good view but not near enough to be in
any apparent danger. The air was soft and
warm and he became drowsy. Delightful
visions of his engaged wile came floating be
fore him. He had been traveling for sopie
little time, had been seeing sights with
pleased and busy but now rather tired eyes,
and the thought of his coming happiness
helped to wait him still further into dream
land and he fell asleep.
Not for long, certaiulv; but it was sleep,
and be was traveling in his dream and he
was aroused, he thought, in an uncomfort
able way by the rnshing motion of the rail
way car in whose sleeping berth he had
fancied himself embedded. He opened his
eyes, grumbling rather, and looked heavily
up, and he almost smiled at his notion when
he saw the moon still shining on the falls
and rapids. But that sound so near at
hand close under him it seemed that was
not the thunder of the falls! That sudden.
strange movement, as if an earthquake were
heaving under him, what could that be?
He jumped to his teet, bnt only to stagger
and tumble about, and the terrible truth
was borne in upon him some of the earth
on which he had been resting had given
way, a new landslip was taking place and
was bearing him along with it down,
down, down to the headlong rush of
the arrowy rapids below the falls, where
the life of the strongest swimmer that ever
breasted river or sea would not hold its own
for one poor second of time. Yes, he was
borne down and down, with a sickening
viiM
UPON HIS PEAK OF BOCK.
physical sensation caused by the mere slip
ping of the earth beneath him, and which,
strange to tell, was distinctly present and
repugnant to his senses even in that mo
ment of utter peril and agony. The reeling,
sinking earth was sliding from beneath him,
but was carrying him too, onlv too surely,
in its descent. He turned on his face and
tried to clutch at anything that might stay
him even for a moment in his downward
rush. Happily for him the bank just there
was very sloping and not at all precipitate
if it had been precipitate poor Hngh's
career would have been finished in about
five seconds. But the bank sloped consid
erably, and Hugh's descent was for a while
so smooth and easy that he had time
to pull himself together and to call
his wits abont him. The situation needed
all the wits of the best-witted man. Hugh
knew well that he was rushing downward to
a certain death if nothing should interpose
to stay his descent. He dug his knees into
the reddish earth of the bank and strove to
strike his feet into the soil, as a man about
to take a desperate jump in a steeplechase
tries to dig his feet well into the stirrups.
Even with his back turned to the light
what light there was he could see that the
moon still shone. He clutched at project
ing stumps of trees and tufts of bushes and
brambles, but these all gave way beneath
him, and the downward rush began to grow
quicker and quicker. Yet a second or two
and he felt that all must be over with him.
But he would not give up he would not
die. He thought of his love bethought of
Marie and he wonld not die. He was like
Dibdin's sailor he would not believe that
Heaven conld have designed to snatch him so
young from the woman he loved. Down,
down, down another panting, breathless,
agonized second or two, with the roar of the
pitiless falls crashing upon his ears and
dea ening him, and then a terrible jerk
which almost flung him off the face ot the
slope, and then he found himself caught
and seated astride on the projection ot some
rock. And then the rush of the clay and
marl went on without him, and for a mo
ment he was safe safe if his rock still held
its place, safe if the landslip went no
further, safe if any human power, any help
ing hand, could come to his aid in time.
For a moment he felt inclined to relieve his
feelings by a burst of tears. Eor a moment
he could think of Marie again, and the hope
of seeing her once more.
He lay there, horsed upon his peak of
rock, unable to think of anything but the
fact that the landslip had gone by him and
that he might yet be saved. He did not vet
dare to move or even to look around. His
whole soul was absorbed in the one desper
ate desire to cling fast and to cheat the
rapids and the falls. He fonnd himself in
the condition of a child who has covered his
head with the bedclothes, in fear of some
supposed apparition, and who dares not un
cover his eyes and look out to see what is
really going on. By degrees he felt his
nerve and his courage coming back. He
was a very plucky voung fellow, trained to
all manner of athletic sports and well
skilled to make the best use of what strength
and nerve he had. But the bravest man
may admit that under certain conditions of
unexpected and unfamiliar danger he can
become for a while as a little child. Hugh
knew all this, and he waited without
movement lor bis nerves to come back
to him and bend ..themselves, .to his
control: andkhe soonffound.tbat OieerejfcTerS!Mae"onldJseelfn1him ho oatwfed

and even to turn round, griping the while
for dear life oh, how inexpressibly dear
and sweet to him nowl and to survey the
scene and get to know of his chances. Well,
things did not look badly for the moment
if he could only stick on. The moon still
lit up the greater part of that ghastly and
terrible scene. He was far below the level
of the road. .He was nearly half way down
nearly half way down to the rapids! He
did. not dare as yet to turn his eyes to the
great fall on his right. He only looked
down to tbe rapids that were rushing far
ahl and not so very farl below him. He
coolly surveyed the situation and thechances.
It was late-the landslip had been slieht
and noiseless everyone in the honses above
had been long since abed and asleep there
was not the slightest chance of any assist
ance coming to him before the early morn
ing. "Would it come even then? Even in
that moment of terror he remembered hear
ing the old man in the museum say that he
always made a study of the bank and the
falls first thing in-the morning that from
long dwelling on that spot he had come to
think of himself as a sort of watchman or
owner of the place, and loved to look after
it. The old man would come then early in
the morning, and would see at a glance that
there had been a landslip, and would bring
people to come and look at it perhaps
would even remember the young stranger
who had left his house the night before
ana if help could then be of any avail, why
surely help would come. The problem
easily resolved itself into shape and explicit
statement. If Hugh could cling to his
rocky seat all night all through the night
and could keep his senses about him, and
no further landslip should take place, then,
oh then, he might be saved and
might be welcomed by Mario in
Quebec. But suppose his head should
reel suppose his nerve should give way
suppose his brain should turn
suppose he should be overcome by that
terrible drowsiness which he had often read
of as the accompaniment of exposure and
exhaustion and nervous strain suppose he
should fall info an unnatural sleep what
was to become of him then? "With the iron
resolve of a brave and almost desperate man
he surveyed the chances. It was of no avail
to trouble his mind about the possibilities
of another landslip. It that was to come, it
must come; he could do nothing except for
his own present sake to put it resolutely out
of his head. If he could keep his senses
about him and oling on to his rock then
help must come in the morning. Even if
he could not be seen from the road above
him he mnst be seen by someone on the op
posite bank. If he were seen, rescue would
be easy. What he had to do was to keep
his senses and hold on.
Perhaps some reader may think that that
would be but an easy task. What? To sit
on a narrow projection of rock during the
whole of a long autumnal night; to sit there
with hardly any possibility of altering one's
position with tbe knowledge that any sud
den and unconsidered movement might
plunge him down into the whirlpool of the
rapids to sit there with the roar of the falls
all the time in his ears, sounding like tbe
roar of the wild beast impatient to be let
loose on his victim in the arena is that an
easy task? Hugh Bevelston did not find it
so, and he was a brave and a strong man,
clinging to life with all the passionate force
of one lor whom life is only beginning, and
beginning in hope and happiness. He found
it terribly hard work to keep in the same po
sition. Every wind that swept across him
seemed as it it must sweep him away. He
could feel each breeze coming, and his
heart stood still with terror until it had
passed away. Sometimes the roar of the
fall was louder than before, and in his wild
fancy he imagined that tbe fall itself was
about to break over him. He looked up to
the appalling deeps of the sky and he
shuddered as at something spectral. The
night became peopled with illusions for
him. Phantoms seemed to float past him
and to gibber and mock at him. A wild
bird once or twice throbbed past him, and
Hugh almost started from his seat in nerv
ous terror. The shock, however, brought
reaction with it It warned him that his
nerves were going, and that he must do
something to remain master of his senses.
There was nervous terror in the very loneli
ness, in the sky. In the white ghostly foam
of the falls, in the unpitying eyes of the
stars. If he allowed the terrors of these
influences to grow upon him he
was lost An odd idea o'ecurred to him.
He began to roar out comic songs. He tried
to think of half-forgotten old choruses that
he had known in his college days, and he
chanted them over and over again. They
banished the ghosts, anyhow. No specter
would care to compromise his mournful
dignity by coming near a man who was
roaring out a comic chorns from a London
burlesque. The Horseshoe Fall had proba
bly never before been treated to selections
from the "Forty Thieves," or "Faust Up To
date."
Then he made speeches. He addressed
"my lord and gentlemen of the jury" many
times, in defeuse of various prisoners. Then
he struck into politics and harangued vari
ous public meetings. He was a candidate
for some division of a county, and he de
nounced the opposite party. Then he was
in the House of Commons, and was address
ing Mr. Speaker. These performances, ab
surd as they may seem, kept the poor young
man's mind off the horror of his position.
They gave him something to do, they sup
pressed or banished the tragic feeling of the
situation. A new danger now began to
threaten. The night was growing cold,
very cold. His limbs began to feel
chilled. He ventured so far as to
sti etch down one hand and chafe his legs.
He kent on at this work and it was peril-
Lous work, too, for an awkward motion might
snake him oil. .out ne Knew wen enougn
that if he were to stiffen with cold his last
hope was gone. He began to train himself,
if it may be expressed so, to the work of
moving hands and feet quickly but safely
about All this occupied and distracted
him. How slowly the time dragged along!
It seemed to him as if he had been ages on
that rock and there was no gleam of dawn
yet in the skies.
Now he began to grow exhausted and
sleepy. It seemed to him as if he could not
drive" away or conquer the insane longing to
close bis eyes and sleep. Some hideous
temptation appeared to come over him, tell
ing him that it would only be a few mo
ments of sleep nothing more and he
would be much the better for it. He had
to keep calling on the name of Marie, as if
it were a charm to give him strength to re
sist the temptation. He dared not close his
eyes ltist the struggle against sleep should
be over tor a moment; for he well knew that
one instant of sleep meant death. He kept
his mind fixed on Marie, and on his hope
yet to escaoe and see her again; and it
touched and soothed him to think that by
thus enabling him to keep awake and watch
ful she herself was helpingin his rescue. Oh,
the pain of the monotonous positionl Oh,
the sense of relief, the sense of almost
joy, when by some slight and cautious
movement he was able to shift the posture
of his limbs ever so little! Then it came on
to rain, and he was drenched and strange
to say he liked it; he found it refreshing it
was a change it sent a new sensation
through his jaded frame. But the time was
wearing him out; he feared at one moment
that he was going to faint, and -he prayed
nY, on forrantlv nnd TtaRslonnfcelv thnt lip
might be allowed strength enough not to
faint for the sake of those who loved him L
and whom he loved. He prayed with closed
eyes now; for he felt that while thus pray
ing he conld deiy sleep or swoon. Believed,
encouraged, strengthened by the prayer, he
opened his eyes and behold! the first laint
flush of the dawn was in the skies, and he
broke into grateful tears, for he knew that
he should be saved.
With the early day he was taken from his
rock. The old man of the museum came
out as usual with the sun, and looked at tbe
cliff and saw the landslip and went round to
the American shore, to study it from that
point of view, and saw Hugh Eevelston
clinging to his rock. Oh, the delight to
Hugh of that first tread on the firm earth,
to which he was raised by ropes lowered
from sturdy, eager hands. Oh, the rapture
of that cup of scalding strong teal Oh, the
sight of that soft, delicious, restful bed to
which he was brought! He ran toward the
looking glass half afraid to look in, yet
longing ., to kn6w No, his hair had not
turned white. It was dark' andthickjas

Mr. Campbell's Process for Saving
Fuel and Running Engines.
A COMPAHY FORMED IN PITTSBUKG
With a Capital Stock of $300,000 to Oper
ate in the Northwest.
PERFECTION OP AN OLD INTENTION
The nation that' can sell its products
cheapest in the markets of the world will at
tain commercial supremacy in the next 20
years. That cheapness will be attained
either by low-priced labor, or by saving in
freights, fuel, or by improved machinery.
So far the latter has been the prime factor in
reducing cost, but cheap fuel has now be
come a matter of necessity.
On the 4th of March, 1888,
Mr. Joseph Campbell, a former Pittsburg
educator, patented a device for making
ammoniacal vapor take tbe place of steam as
a motive power, and James K. Keene, Cap
tain Green, TJ. S. N., "W. W. Dudley, James
B. McLane, J. C. Clark, Joseph Larocque
and the inventor formed a company to
operate it The names will generally be
recognized as prominent ones in various
avocations of life in the East Mr. Camp
bell states that experiments demonstrated
long ago that his invention would Bave from
40 to 50 per cent in fuel in the furnishing
power, but no effort was made to give it
publicity lest the cry of "Keely motor"
should follow.
IT WOEKED IDIE A CHARM.
They introduced it into an extensive flour
mill in Philadelphia and into some other
works, and alter proving to tbe satisfaction
of capitalists that it would do the work of
steam at about half its cost for fuel pro
ceeded to form companies. Its success is
assured, they say, in the ocean and do
mestic marine service, and the saving of
fuel carriage on the ocean is of prime im
portance. Mr. Campbell came to this city to intro
duce his patent to the Central Traction
road and Pittsburg Filter Company, but as
the former wasn't ready to begin operations
and fuel is here so cheap now, it did not
attract the attention it would elsewhere.
But the Pittsburg and Northwestern Power
Company has been organized, and it is
composed of County Controller Speer, Frank
Patterson, of McKeesport; Hon. Thomas M.
Bayne, Prothonotary John Bradley, J. B.
Finlay, of Omaha, formerly of Kittanning;
Hon. J, B. Finley, of Monongahela Citv,
B. M. McKinnev, civil engineer, of this
city, James K. "White, J.W. Kin near. Esq.,
and others, and the capital stock is $300,000,
about all of which has been taken. They
have prepared to operate in Nebraska,
North and South Dakota, Utah Territory,
Oregon, Montana, Washington Territory,
Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming,
having bought the territory from the present
company, and will operate under a charter
gotten in Colorado, and expect to begin bus
iness next week, the first plant to be estab
lished in Omaha,
NOT A KEW IDEA.
The idea is not new, but its practical ap
plication is, and any chemist who has ever
operated a laboratory can understand it at a
glance. The apparatus can be placed on
any steam boiler at small cost The cost of
charging the ammoniacal evaporator is $100,
but one charging is sufficient for six months
or a year, according to the power required,
the vapor after having been 'used, being
condensed and used over and over again.
As ammoniacal vapor is a good lubricator
the use of oil in the cylinder is dispensed
with.
Edison is quoted as saying that the power
of the future will be ammonia and elec
tricity.' Scientists fondly dream of a time
when the sun will be harnessed and made
do the work now performed by coal, steam,
ammonia and electricity, but most, if not
all, of them expect to die this side of
Jordan, and meantime people who cannot
use natural gas are interested in cheapening
the cost of motive power, which means the
cheapening of all the necessaries of life, if
not to the public, to monopoly at least.

A GREAT SURPRISE.
The Peculiar Story Told by Mr. B.
Loudar.
A SENSATION IN THE EAST END,
"Mine was a trouble of four years stand
ing," said Mr. Loudar, "and I never ex
pected to be free from it."
The speaker was Mr. B. Loudar, who
lives on Homes avenue, McClintock's plan,
East End. He is a gardener for Mrs. "Will
iam Carr, whose beautiful residence is sit
uated at the intersection of Penn and Fifth
avenues, at what is Known as Point Breeze.
"As is usual," continued Mr. Loudar,
"my trouble came on with a cold, and soon
developed, through lack of care, into a
chronic case of catarrh.
"My head became stopped up, first one
nostril would clog up and then the' other.
My'head ached constantly. A dull, heavy
pain over the eyes. There was a constant
ringing and buzzing sensation in my head.
My eyes were weak and discharged a watery
substance. There was a constant dropping
of matter into my throat.
"Gradually the disease extended to my
throat and chest. My throat became sore,
and was olten so ulcerated that I could not
swallow my food. I had terrible pains in.
my chest and side extending to the shoulder
blades. These would be accompanied by a
burning heat, and the pain would often ex
tend around to the small of my back. My
heart would beat rapidly and then slowly.
This would always be followed by a feeling
of dizziness and taintness.
Mr. S. Loudar, Somes avenue, Eatl End.
"I could not sleep and would arise in the
morning more tired than when X went to
bed the night before. I had no appetite.
What little food I did eat, I could scarcely
retain on my stomach. I tried many physi
cians, and spent a great deal of money for
medicine, but could obtain no relief. In
stead I grew steadily worse. Night sweats
weakened me terribly, and I was scarcely
able to do any work. I had given up all
hope of ever regaining my health again,
when I read of Drs. Copeland & Blair, and
determined to try them.
"Soon after placing myself under their
care I noticed a decided improvement.
My head ceased aching. The ringing in
my ears stopped, and my eyes were no
longer watery. The dropping in my throat
ceased, and my head and nose became clear.
1 could breathe freely once more. The greatest
relief was from the pains In my chest, and tbe
heart palpitation which both entirely disap
peared. My appetite is good. I bave no more

UPON THE HEARING.
Showing the Connection and .the Signs of
Progress.
A large proportion of the troubles of the
ear may be traced to catarrhal affections.
Many sufferers from catarrh will testify to
the peculiar effect that the disease seems to
have even in its early stages upon the hear
ing. Tbe roaring and buzzing in the ears is
one of the most familiar symptoms to ca
tarrhal sufferers.
Sometimes the sound which they hear in
their ears is described by them as "steam
going out of a pipe," "the sound of a great
waterfall," "sounds of water overflowing,"
or "steam from a locomotive," as buzzing,
singing, ringing and crackling; sometimes like
the sounds in a shell held at tbe ear or the
bnrsting ot bnbbles.
Sometimes the sounds are of a beating;
pulsating, throbbing character. In cases keep
ing time with the regular beating of the heart,
Sometimes thero are several different sounds
such as pulsating and buzzing together, in some
cases tbe sounds are so intense as to render life
a burden, and there are instances on record
where the distracted sufferers bave resorted to
suicide to rid themselves of them.
There can be no more important predispos
ing or exciting cause in producing ear diseases
than catarrh in the nose and throat. The symp
toms of catarrh itself can hardly be mistaken.
In many cases tne patients have pains about
the chest and sides, and sometimes in tbe back.
They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad
taste, especially in the morning. A sort of
sticky slime collects about the teeth. The ap
petite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy
load on tbe stomach, sometimes a faint, "all
gone" sensation at tne pit or toe scomacu,
which food does not satisfy. The eyes are
sunken, the hands and feet become cold and
clammy.
After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attended with a green-isn-colored
expectoration. The patient feels
tired, all the while, and sleep does not seem to
afford any rest. After a time be becomes ner
vous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil fore
bodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl
ing sensation In tbe head when rising np sud
denly. The bowels become costive, tbe skin is
dry and hot at times; tbe blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions be
come scanty and high-colored, depositing sed
iment after standing. There is frequently a
spitting up of food, sometimes with a sour taste
and sometimes with a sweetish taste, this is fre
quently attended with palpitation of the heart
and asthmatic symptoms.
Resold of Home Treatment,
Last May Miss Lottie J. Porker, of 299
Arch street, Meadville, Pa., placed herself
under treatment by mail with Drs. Cope
land & Blair for her catarrhal trouble.
On June 9 she wrote : "Your medicine j&
doing me good. I do not feel so .tired, and
my headaches have ceased." ....
August 28 her letter stated : "I feel quite
like a different woman from the one I was
when I commenced your treatment."
Mr. M. C. Wilson, who commenced using the
home treatment early in July, wrote on tbe 25th
of the same month : "I am improving steadily;
feel much better than I have for years past."
August 16 he wrote ; "X am feeling like a
different being from the one I was when 1 com
menced yocr treatment, and am glad to be able
to make this statement."
