Austin bowed
and thanked him for the
compliment.
"In the first nlace." said Mr. Mixer.

np the path toward the steps, ai me loot oi
r which be halted. Jfrom mis position ne
surveyed the building from roof to basement
with the air of one who thought of building
a house precisely like it.
"The body." said Austin, "was found
Hhere where we now stand."
Mr. Mixer made no reply, but continued
to gaze toward the upper windows and along
the fronts of the three-story verandas to the
end of the street. The blinds of No. 5 were
closed, the widow and her child having
found a temporary home with her parents,
and Eliza JrTleniinghavingbeen dismissed.
"Have you any theory in regard to the
murder?" asked Austin.
"Yes," said Mr. Mixer.
"May I, ask what it is?"
"Ho," said Mr. Mixer.
"It would seem," said Austin, a little
vexed, "as if the blow must have fallen
from the clouds."
'Or from the upper veranda," said the
detective, grimly.
Austin started. "Surely," he exclaimed,
"you do not Euspect any of the Davis
familv?"
"No," replied Mr. Mixer.
The detective, mounted the steps and,
"Q
bending over, rubbed his hand lightly on
the green lattice railing of the piazza. The
paint was not yet hard and some of it came
off upon his fingers.
""WTien was that paint put on?" he in
quired. "On the day before the murder. Davis
'spoke about it as we walked from the sta
tion." "Who are the occupants of the other
houses on this side?"
Austin named them. All old and well-
known residents, who had lived in the same

tion Mme. Auvergne, a French teacher,
who had hired No. 9 a short time since.
Bat of course no suspicion could rest upon
her a woman.
"Of course not," said Mr. Mixer.
"Besides," said Austin, laughing, "she
can prove an alibi. I saw her writing in
her chamber at the very hour when it is
supposed that this murder took place."
"Ah!" observed Mr. Mixer.
"Can I be of any further service?" asked
Austin, not well pleased at this monosylla
bic conversation on the part of his com
panion. "I am atraid my dinner is getting
cold."
"Not at present, I think," replied the de
tective. "I am very much obliged to von.
Good-day, sir." Mr. Mixer nodded pleas
antly; and thns dismissed, Austin turned,
crossed the street and entered his own dwell
ing. No sooner had Austin disappeared from
view than Mr. Jdixer left the yard of No. fi
and proceeded directly to No. 9. A ring at
the bell brought to the door a dark-complexioned
maid, and an inquiry for Mme.
Auvergne elicited the information that
madam was out Would monsieur step into
the parlor and wait? Madam was expected
to return soon. Mr. Mixer walked into the
parlor and took a seat. Then the parlor
door was closed and he was left alone.
The closing oi the door was the signal for
Mr. Mixer's keen gray eye to spring into
immediate activity. No Deputy Sheriff
just put into "possession" ever inventoried
the contents of a room more rapidly or
thorougb.lv than did this active eye of Mr.
Mixer. The apartment was rather sumptu
ously furnished, but neither carpets, pic
tures nor bric-a-brac held the attention of
the detective long. One article only, at the
farther end of the room, excited in Mr.
Mixer any interest whatever. This was a
lady's writing case, lying open upon a small
table in the corner. Pens, ink and paper
were strewn about it in some confusion, as
though its owner had been called away sud
denly, and had forgotten its condition.
Mr. Mixer, sauntering around the room
with his hands behind nim, halted before
this table. An ebony paper knife, inlaid
" .with pearl, lay across some papers. Mr.
Mixer took it up and turned it over critic
ally. The initials "M. I, from J. D.," inlaid
upon the back, caused a slight elevation of
Jdr. Mixer's eyebrows. Lifting the lid of
- tne desk, he looked within. Broken pens,
. odds and ends of sealing wax, a few honse-
vKold recipes, some sheets of notepaper and a
itsmall bundle of old letters, tied with a faded
t ;fibbon.Jnet his gaze. It was a woman's
rewriting case, with the usual contents.
l Footsteps sounded through the ball, and
Jr. Mixer had only time to close the lid
landslide back to his seat before the door
opened and a dark-complexioned maid en-
Ftered the room. With a searching glance at
Hhe visitor she proceeded to the table, swept
the papers from it, locked the desk, and
taking it tinder her arm, again left the
parlor.
No sooner had the door closed than Mr.
.Mixer indulged in some extraordinary pro
ceedings. Kising from his seat he made a
lowlbow to an imaginary vis-a-vis. Then,
taking from his pocket, one after the other,
a series of documents, he read them rapidly,
iliolding the paper in a position to be in-
lEunuy concealed snouia ne oe interrupted,
Kid keeping one eye almost ceaselessly upon
the door.
His solitary amusement was interrupted
bv the entrance of Mme. Auvergne. and Mr.
Mixer, rising, beheld before him a ravish
ingly beautiful woman, not over 35 years of
age. who advanced gracefully to the center
ot the room and greeted him with the slight
est possible-gesture of inquiry.
"I believe," said Mr. Mixer, bowing,
"that I am addressing Mme. Auvergne."
'It is true," replied the lady in a pleasant
yoice. "Can I be of service to yon ?"
"I have called," said Mr. Mixer, "to
make a few, perhaps unimportant, inquiries
in connection with that dreadful affair at
No. 6. I do not know that you can render
me any assistance, but as you are, I believe,
the only native of France in this village,
you may aid me in finding one of your
countrywomen."
Mme. Auvergne waved her visitor to a
seat, and, seating herself deliberately, took
time to reply.
"Is it," she asked, "that this poor man
was a friend of yours?"
"He was, madam," said Mr. Mixer un
hlushingly. 'Aud how can I be of benefit?" asked
Madam. "Mod Dieut the whole affair was
too horriblel What can I tell you?"
"Do vou know a woman named Marie Le
doux?" "I do not," said Mme. Auvergne.
"Thiuk a moment," said Mr. Mixer.
It is useles'," she said, tapping her foot
impatiently upon the carpet. "I never be
fore hejrd of such a person."
The petulant motion of Madam's foot at
tracted the attention or Mr. Mixer's vigi
lant gray eye. No sooner had his gaze
BCS. "i
jaiieu upon lac jjeat jwiu uuut man ne
seemed rapt iu admiration. Mme. An-
verge e noticed his observation, and the foot
was coquettishly withdrawn beneath her
dre's.
"You do not know Marie Ledoux?" said
Mr. Mixer.
"I have said it. I do not know her. What
has this Marie Lodoux to do with this
thing?"
"Much," replied Mr. Mixer. "I am
sorry you can tell me nothing of her, for
Marie Ledoux murdered John Davis."
Mme. Auvergne started and looked at her
visitor earnestly. A slight paleness crept
over her face as she exclaimed:
"Mon Dieut How do you know that?"
"If madam will have patience while I re
late a lcrfg story," Vsaid Mr. Mixer, "I can
give her strange information."
"I shall be happy," said madam. "Pray
go on, monsieur."
"If you attended the inquest this morn
ing," said Mr. Mixer, "you will remember
that Mrs. Davis testified that her marriage
was a 'love match,' made againsther parents'
consent, and that she knew little of her hus
band's antecedents. She knew nothing of
any person named 'Marie.' This was prob
ably trne, for her husband doubtless con
cealed from her the history of his relations
with Marie Ledoux."
"Again Marie Ledonxl" interrupted
Mme. Auvergne. "In heaven's name, who
was Marie Xedonx?"
"The mistress of John Davis," replied
Mr. Mixer. "The woman whom, when a
yonng girl, he betrayed, and with whom he
lived for years prior to his marriage at Bor
deaux; the woman whom he at last cruelly
abandoned and (left, in poverty and alone,
when he fled to this country to seek a new
fortune to replace the one he had dissipated
abroad. The deserted woman treasured up
her wrong. With all the love her heart ha4
held for him changed to hate, she managed
to follow him, resolved upon the only re
venge with which a spurned and rejected
Frenchwoman can be satisfied his death.
For years she traced him from place to
place, and at last found him here in this
village of St Leger, here in Greenwood
street."
A low, inarticulate sound passed from
the parted lips of Mme. Auvergne, as she
listened with an expression of intense in
terest to this recital. Her face became a
shade paler as Mr. Mixer proceeded.
"When John Davis returned home on the
night of the 14th of this month," continued
the detective, "he was felled to the earth at
his own door by a single blow from an uu-1
seen nana, xne snow wnicn covered tne
ground revealed no trace of the assassin.
Why? Because the blow came from above.
The person who killed John Davis was con
cealed behind the railing of the second
story of the veranda, and delivered 'the
fatal stroke while leaning over and clinging
to the lattice. That person was a woman,
as I have said Marie Ledoux."
Mme. Anverene's eves were fastened nrion
her visitor with a look of intense eagerness,
but she made no comment. Mr. Mixer pro
ceeded: "You are doubtless curious to know how
I have become acquainted with these de
tails," he said, "none of which appeared
upon the inquest- Fart of them are deduc
tions from my own observation of the scene
of the homicide; the rest I have learned
since I have been in this room."
Mme. Auvergne's face wasyery pale; but
her hands lay motionless in her lap, and
her eyebrows were raised with an expression
of surprise at Mr. Mixer's statement,
"There was one thing," he continued,
"upon which this woman had not counted.
Cunningly as the crime had been planned to
escape detection, and perfectly as it had
been executed, Marie Ledoux had forgotten
the green paint. The piazza? of No. 5 had
recently been painted, and the paint was
fresh. The murderer had not thought of
that as she climbed along the lattice in
making her escape. From her clothing, of
course, the paint could be removed, or, better
still, the clothing could be destroyed; but
when this was done there remained upon
her boot a green mark which wholly escaped
her notice."
There was a quick, almost imperceptible
movement of the white hands, and the toe
of Mme. Auvergne's kid boot protruded for
an instant, ever so slightly, from beneath
her dress. As it was drawn back its owner
was trembling.
Mr. Mixer drew from his pocket a pair of
bright steel handcuffs, and laid them upon
the table. Mme. Auvergne sprang to her
feet in a paroxysm of terror. '
"What are those?" she cried, "and ythj
do yon bring them here? Take them awayl
Tate them away!"
"These," said Mr. Mixer, "are for Marie
Ledoux when I find her."
She stood before him with her black eyes
glittering and her bosom heaving, regard
ing him earnestly for several moments. At
last she pressed her hands to her temples
and said, more calmly:
"Monsieur will pardon me. I have had
several sleepless nights, and am very
nervous."
She turned away, and unlocking a small
cabinet near the door took from it a small
vial, which she placed to her lips. "A
remedy which my physician ordered, she
explained with a smile. "I am snbject to
hysteria."
She placed the vial on the table near at
hand and resumed her seat.
"This tale is interesting," she said, with
another smile. "But how does it concern
me? What have you discovered in this room
relating to Marie Ledoux?"
The detective made no reply, bnt taking
from his pocket a packet of letters tied with
a faded ribbon held them up silently before
her.
Mme. Auvergne's hand went quickly to
her heart and her lips turned pale as ashes.
With a wild cry she sprang to her feet.
"You do not know all, she said. "You
see before you not the mistress of John
Davis, but his lawlul wife. I had the jus
tice of heaven with me in tracking him to
his death. I was Marie Ledoux wronged
and abandoned by this man, but, as heaven
is my witness. I was his wedded wife!"
She tottered unsteadily, and held to her
chair for support with one hand, the other
still pressed upon her heart.
"I thought," she said, more slowly, "that
I had provided against all means of detec
tion. It seems that that I have failed.
Bnt I have had my revengel"
Her eyes brightened at the same time that
an expression of physical pain contracted
her beautiful features. She sank weakly in
her chair, as Mr. Mixer sprang forward to
assist her.
"Bemember," he said, "that I did not
come here to extort a confession from a
woman. If I mistake not, you have good
ground for establishing what the lawyers
call an alibi."
"It is useless," she said, painfully, "and
too late. The woman that that was seen
in mv chamber that night was was my
maid!"
The head of Marie Ledoux sank back in
her chair, and a convulsion seized her
frame. The detective placed his arm be
neath ber, and endeavored to raise her up
right, but she lay in his arms like a mass of
lifeless clay. Placing her gently back, Mr.
Mixer Held up the vial which stood upon
the table. It was half-filled with a color
less liquid, and as he removed the cork a
pungent odor of bitter almonds pervaded
the room. Mr. Mixer turned thevial in his
hand. The words upon the label were

THE
Why the American Scientists Go to
the Coast of Africa to
HAYE A PEEP
OLD SOL
What is Expected to be Accomplished by To
. Morrow's Observation.
DELICATE INSTRUMENTS TO BE USED
It would surely seem as though the day
bad come, in this enlightened age, when
men of common sense, wisdom and learning
should cease to run after shadows, and
hence it may -be a trifle paradoxical to some
folks to learn that a dozen or more wise den
of science, armed with implements for ob
servation and literature for reference, should
go clear across the soa, down intp the wilds
of the African jungle, braving the dangers of
the storm, of the savageandof the fever for
the mere purpose of having a peep at the
sun when he cannot be seen. 'And there is
another paradox that the sun should never
be quite so interesting or so attractive to
his watchers as when his rays are blotted
from sight for a few moments by the acci
dental interference of the moon between his
solar majesty and this small sphere.
But it.is nevertheless true that a party of
American men of profound learning, em
bracing several branches of scientific re
search, have just landed on the west coast of
Africa, at-the town of St Paul de Loando,
having gone thither for the purpose ot tak
ing some photographs and other observations
on the22d of the present month (to-morrow),
when the sun will become invisible for a
few minutes.
TO PBOBE HATUBE'S XIYSTEBY.
It has only been by the most unremitting
efforts of the scientists, seizing every oppor
tunity, risking overy chance, encountering
svery danger, that we bare come at .last to
know anything but what is here before us
on our own planet, to know anything about
the nature, the ways and means of our mys
terious neighbors, anything abont the causes
of our life, in fact And this expedition,
sent to such a great distance for such an ap
parently small and unimportant object, is
simply the outcome of generations of rest
less scientific energy.
To some it might appear as though all
had been learned about the sun that an
eclipse can teach, for ever since telescopes
were invented and men began to know how
to use them, astronomers have been peering
into space daring the momentary darkness
of eclipses, measuring, counting, specu
lating, theorizing, guessing as to just what
it is that gives us light and heat and life;
and it would seem as though the time had
come when all reasonable theories had been
advanced, discussed and disposed of. But a
scientist generally goes upon the idea that a
man never knows so much that he cannot
learn, and so he goes on endeavoring to find
new data on which to work new inspirations
or some additional proof of some old thought.
He takes the ground that there cannot be
too much proof and that it wonld not be a
waste ot time if he searched all his life for
one new item and never found it.
"WHY THEY GO TO AFRICA,
It is no wonder, then, that these men have
gone to Africa. The only question is: Why
aid they select that dark, unknown, danger
ous and forbiddiug land for the basis of
their observations? The answer can easily
be given. By the operation of the law of
planetary motion the shadow of the moon,
as cast by the sun-iu his passage-on the other
side, falls only upon a limited portion of
the globe, varying in size according to the dis
tance of the moon from the earth at the time
of theeclipse. The nearer she is the wider the
shadow area. Of course in a very large part
of this space the shadow is but a partial one.
In fact, on the edge of the shadow field there
is no appreciable diminution in the sun's
light, the only effect of the eclipse being the
darkening of one edge of the disk. Aa the
observer goes south or comes north this ob
scuration of the disk grows and the sunlight
becomes less and less until there is a point
midway on which, the actual shadow of the
moon, as the word is generally used, falls.
This is called the "line of totality."
To an observer stationed at any point in
this line the eclipse appears to come over
the sun gradually, increasing momentarily,
until the entire surface is covered, when,
after a very short period of what is known
as "totality," lasting from one to seven
minntes in various eclipses, the black
screen begins to withdraw itself and finally
disappears. If one could start on the end
of the black line at the moment the period
of totality began there and run, fly or swim
eastward at a speed equal to that ot the
earth's surface in revolving; to the other
end of the line, a distance of several thou
sand miles, he would be able to see the
eclipse throughout its existence. In other
words, he wonld be in darkness from the
time he started until he stopped.
TO-JIOBBOW'S ECLIPSE.
The line of totality of to-morrow's eclipse
runs over most of its course in the watery
spaces of the western hemisphere, touching
land but twice in this continent These
points are Cape Orange, near Cayenne,
French Guiana, and an unnamed point of
land in the province of Pianhi, Brazil.
Thence it shoots out across the Atlantic,
hitting the western coast of Africa a little
way from the port oi St Paul de Loando.
Ifwill, of course, be possible for' an ob
server at either ot the South American spots
where the line touches to obtain a good view
of the eclipse, butit is probable that at those
places the horizon, where the sun will be
when the eclipse occurs, will be obscured
by the mists of morning. It is desirable to'
note the eclipse when the sun is high in the
heavens, when he is free from interference,
and so the astronomers selected the western
coast of Africa as the objective point of their
expedition.
Had there been some chance island in the
ocean directly in the line of totality it might
have been utilized, but unfortunately there
is nothing on the map that looks like solid
ground anywhere between the Brazilian
cape and St. Paul de Loando, in the imme
diate vicinity of the black line, and after
they get there what do they do? That is a
complex question to answer. They have a
ship load of instruments, telescopes, photo
graphic cameras and scores of other imple
ments, with which theywill utilize every
one of the 187 seconds when the sun is ob
scured. In order to obtain the most satis
factory results possible it is probable that
each observation will be duplicated by dif
ferent observers, as far as the number of in
struments will permit. It is this variety of
sources that gives the data obtained from an
eclipse its peculiar value. It may be stated
as an axiom that an astronomical truth can
not be said to be established until two per
sons, working independently, haye obtained
the same results.
WHY ECLIPSES ABE OBSEBTED.
The main object nowadays in viewing
eclipses is to obtain new light on the subject
of tne nature and extent ot the corona, the
bright effulgence which is seen snrrounding
the sun's disk at the moment of totality. As
soon as the blinding rays are shut off by the
medium ot the moon this halo appears. It
is an uncertain quantity in size as well as
character, for it varies tremendously in dif
ferent eclipses. There is first a very bright
rim of light lying close to the dark edge of
the moon, then the flames take definite
shape and shoot off into space to enormous
distances.
These things are noted by means of an or
dinary photographic camera attached to a
strong telescopic lens. A clockwork, keeps
the apparatus moving in unison with the
motion of the earth, so that the obscured
sun is kept in the field of the lens through
out the period of totality. Successive pho
tographs are taken, each instrument thus
prod ncing a series of plates.
"You have, of .course, noted," said a
Washington astronomer to a Star reporter,
"that when you go from a light room into
a dark one you are temporarily blinded,
and it takes an appreciable time to recover
Vf5i-KWP5rSVS.fl-,","' sj'fitifiRJIWBK
the fulliuse of.your eyes.'- So W w accessary!
for the observer to blindfold fits eyes lor a
few minutes just before totality in order to
lose no time recovering the power of Seeing
clearly."
The spectroscope is also attached to a
photographic apparatus, and pictures are
taken of the story which the prisms tell
about the kind of light emitted by the sun
and its appendages. The Observations so
far taken by camera and spectroscope have
gone far toward proving that the corona is
an atmospheric appendage to the sun in the
form of glowing gas, swinging and whirling
around the planet into space.
inE SUM'S SURROUNDINGS.
Prof. Proctor has said: "Studying the
sun's surroundings we find his complex at
mosphere to be some 300 or 400 miles deep,
the sierra from 6,000 to 10,000 miles deep,
the prominence region about 100,000 miles
deep, though occasional outbursts to twice
that height have been observed. The inner
corona seems to be some 300,000 miles, the
outer about 800,000 miles In height,
measured from the sun's surface. Lastly,
there are coronal streamers which have been
traced to a distance of 5,000,000 miles, but
may in reality extend much further, while
the zodiacal, traced in eclipse to a distance
of 10,000,000 miles, and during morning and
evening twilight to nine times that distance,
occupies in reality most probably a region
coextensive with the solar system itself."
The sierra of which he speaks is a low lying
line ot intense red light visible during an
eclipse, due to incandescent hydrogen. It
has lately been observed by astronomers at
ordinary'times by the spectroscope. The
red prominences are projections of the
sierra.
Edison, the American electrician, has in
vented a machine to test the heat given
forth from the corona during "an eclipse,
and July 29. 1878, he toot, observations in
the hope of determining its quantity. It
was so delicate, however, that the indicator
finger moved out of the scale.
To-morrow a number of photographs will
be taken of the eclipse itself as well as of
the spectra of the corona and the red promi
nences. Measurements and comparisons will
then be taken and sotbe formulation made
of the results.
A HARD JOB UNDERTAKEN.
At the National Observatory in Wash
ington the outcome of the expedition is
being watched with intense interest by all
the astronomers. Said one of them the
other day to a reporter:
"I hope that they will accomplish some
thing, but I am atraid that they have un
dertaken a little too much. It is far better
in such an expedition to limit the field of
work directly to the observation of the un
known quantities. I hope they will make
some notes on the lines thrown in the
spectrum by the red prominences, which ap
pear dark when the sun is unobscured and
reversed to light just at the instant the sur
face is wholly covered. It was planned at
first to take a series of photographs of the
spectra of this reversing process, bnt I am
not sure that they will do it. It seems that
it was first agreed that the party should go
into the interior of a couple of hundred
miles in order to reach high ground in the
field of totality, but I believe that they have
changed this plan, and intend to remain
near the coast They took instruments from
this institutiop, from the coast and geodetic
survey, from nearly all the colleges, from
the national museum, and in fact from al
most every source within reach, and I am
told that a large part of .the collection was
left on the wharf at the Brooklyn navy
yard. You must remember that they have
gone all the way to Africa in the hope that
the 22d will be . clear day. It will be
rather rough if it rains, won't it?"
A EUM0R KNOCKED OUT.
Air. Joseph Home Say He Hasn't Bought
Ibe Leonard Property.
It was reported yesterday that Joseph
Home had made an offer of $160,000 for the
Leonard heirs' property, 120 feet front on
the corner of Penn avenue and Fifth street
It was also reported that he had bonght it.
Mr. Home said: "You can say I have
not bought the Leonard property."
Herron;& Son, who are agents for the
property, were non-committal, but they
said it was not for sale at the price named,
which would be but $1,333 34 per foot, as
it paid a good return on that price, and the
owners not being in need of money, were'
not likely to let if go unless they got con
siderably more money, enough to make a
better investment
It has been mggested that Mr. Home was
casting about for another location, inView
of the possibility of the Library Hall prop
erty being sold by the Sheriff next month,
but he showed no disposition to unbosom
himself on the subject, and spoke never a
word regarding his intentions (or the future.
It was suggested that if Mr. Home wanted j
to buy, be let slip a splendid chance in not
taking the Central Skating Bink property,
a square further east.

Sherwood Council, J. O. TJ. A. M., has o
late been considering the advisability of
withdrawing from the Funeral Benefit Asso
ciation connected with the order. Some of
the members claimed that as the lodge has
sustained no death losses since its inception,
the insurance was costing too much. The

to applause, which the court officers quickly
stopped.

tions from their brethren of tbe bar, as well
as lrom friends of Mr. Means. Mr. De

Mr. Brunett
Explains
Detail.
His Case in
NEART0WN NEWS IN BRIEF.
"I do not care particularly about pub
licity or renown of any kind," remarked
Mr. Brunett, "but under the circumstances,
I think the details of my case should be
given for publication."
The speaker was Mr. F. H. Brunett, who
resides at No. 19 Balkan street, Allegheny.
He was speaking of a personal trouble; the
details of which are given below:
"My trouble," continued Mr. Brunett,
"nas been severe for the past year, and I
was always more or less bothered with
catarrh forseveral years previous. When I
first noticed it, my nostrils would clog up,
first on one side and then on the other. I
had a dull pain oyer my eyes; constant ring
ing noises in my ears. An attack of fever
several years before had left me partially
deaf. This soon became worse, until it was
very difficult for me to hear. My eyes were
weak and inflamed. There was a dropping
back of mattewinto my throat.
"My heart would beat rapidly. This
palpitation would be followed by a slow,
irregular beating, and a feeling of faintness.
My appetite was fair, hut after eating my
food seemed to rest like a stone in my
stomach.
. 1
H. Brunett, 19 Balkan ttreet.
"Night sweats set in and weakened me
terribly. A dry, backing cough got hold ot
me. I grew weaker every day. The slight
est exertion tired me. On several occasions
X was obliged to remain,away from my busi
ness, being totally unfit for work,
"1 had severe pains In my chest and lungs.
They would stab like a knife, and extended
to the shoulder blade. I became alarmed at
this last symptom, and determined to con
sult Drs. " Copeland & Blair, who, I had
read in the papers, had treated several cases
similar to mine with great success. I found
their terms very reasonable, and placed my
self under their care.
"I improved from the very first My nose
was no longer stopped up, and the pains in
my head and chest disappeared. The drop
ping of mucus into my throat ceased. My
eyes are no longer inflamed. I can now eat
heartily and enjoy my food. I am now
working regularly! and, to be brief and to
tbe point, feel as well as I ever did. I owe
this change in my condition to Drs. Copeland
& Blair, and am pleased to make this
statement."
Mr. Brunett lives, as stated, at No. 19
Balkan street, Allegheny, and this state
ment can be easily verified.
Result of Home Treatment.
Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of
Hulton, Allegheny county, Pa., com
menced a course of home treatment for his
catarrhal trouble, under tbe care of Drs. Cope
land & Blair.
At that time his trouble bad assumed a very
aggravated form. He stated to the writer as.
follows:
"My nostrils would clog np. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my chest.
There was a dropping of mucus from my bead
to my throat I had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a
slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness.
I was daily growing weaker. Tbe slightest ex'
ertion tired me, and I was unfit for work."
"How do you feel nowf"
'Like another being. All tbe symptoms I
Have described to jouliave disappeared, and I
feel as well as I ever was In my life.
VERY PLAIN TALK.
Showing (he Outline of a Route Which is
Often Followed.
When a person with a delicate constitu
tion has a tendency to catarrh or consump
tion whether this tendency is inherited or
results from taking cold easily it is notice
able that tbat person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nutrition
is interfered witb.
In such a case tbe sufferer should at once oe
placed nnder influences that will restore tbe
defective nutrition and tend to invigorate the
constitution.
It is to be remembered in every case the
presence of catarrh is an evidence of predispo
sition to consumption, and no matter how
slight tbe attack may be, it should be treated
with the greatest care, and tbe treatment
should be continued until all traces of the ca
tarrh bave disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the small
est tnoes in tbe lungs which" condition is indi
cated by the spitting np of a yellow material
then Immediate attention to the malady is de
manded, or serious lung tronble will result.
Catarrh Is, nine times out of ten, tbe cause
that produces consumption, and bence no one
can afford to neglect a case of catarrh, bow
ever slight. It Is easily cured, if taken in
time and treated regularly ana correctly by a
specialist. If left to itself it is rarely cured
without a change of climate, but with each
new cold it cets more and more troublesome.
estending always a little deeper into tbe lnngs
until a cure becomes difficult and sometimes
impossible.
"I should like to be treated," a lady re
marked tbe otber day, "but I would not like to
bave my name in the paper." Let it be stated
that Drs. Copeland & Blair never publish a
name or statement without the full and free
consent of the patient, nor do they publish
one-hundredth part of the testimonials, letters
and statements received by them from grateful
patients. As observed, the statements given
are entirely voluntary, and are given by tbe
patients for publication. Drs. Copeland &
Blair wonld never publish the most emphatic
testimonial unless the patient giving it under
stood tbat it was to be printed and gave willing
consent.
