Vailombbosa, Italt, May 16. The
human interest of Venice is, after all iti
chief enchantment. If one can fling off the
enslavement of the fiction woven about it,
there is still enough to know and enjoy. In
endeavoring to analyze causes for the crea
tion of the universally false sentiment exist
ing concerning it, the best excuse I can
find is in the peculiarity of its situation. It
has always impressed travelers strangely.
A city without a horse or other beast of bur
den strikes one as a curious anomaly. This
unceasing seeming of strange and remarka
ble phases, has easily been distorted into the
wonderful, the marvelous. The vivid fancy
with the opulent imagination and poetic
sense have done the est Each succeeding
traveler has scraped the empyrian of
imagery to outdo his predecessor in florid
description and matchless simile. Coming
frem the mountains of Italy at once across
what seems to be an arm of theses, bnt which
in fact is so shallow a lagoon that a school
boy might wade it in many places at ebb
tide, to a city built so that the earth it really
stands upon, and the piling, forming the
perfectly secure foundation for other struct
ures and street sides, is wholly hidden from
view, the feeling of actually being at sea is
difficult to overcome. Indeed this one fact
about one's almost ineradicable first im
pressions has had more to do than all else in
citing poet travelers theirVenetian frenzies.
Then, again, the constant intensification of
this impression further unhinges the aver
age mind.
UOTHIXG BUT WATEK.
moving craft upi water and, as though
you looked from the porthole of some mystic
era It, you see through this nautical sense of
riding upon "'he ocean, in the structures
opposite your window, other fancilul craft
which must be floating alongside your own.
I have passed over the Bahama Bants, in a
sailing vessel, where, for 125 miles, a bed of
coral more than 1,000 feet high was often
less than 12, and never more than 18, feet
from the sea's level. If that bank stood
against the Florida, instead of the Bahama,
shore, the capitalists would have a winter
resort city standing upon the white coral bed
inside of a quarter of a centurv. and would
regard the expenditure of J200.000.000 or
$300,000,000 to mace an American Venice, a
very trifling incident in American develop
ment. One must come to think ol Venice in
some such way as this, in order to measure
it in justice and truth.
It is probable that the sanity of one who
should visit Venice without making a study
of the gondolier would be doubted. I en
deavored to do this earnestly, but find, after
all, that he is a very ordinary sort of a fel
low. He is better than the American hack
man, because he robs you with some slight
suavity and grace. In but one other respect
is he in any degree remarkable. He is tall,
lithe and slender. All his limbs show fine
development from rowing upright, every
muscle coming into play at every stroke of
the oar. This gives the gondoliers sinewy
development most admirable. There are
somewhat more than 200 licensed gondo
liers; 20 cents an hour is the legal rate for
the services of boat and boatman, this tariff
being doubled tor every extra gondolier you
hire; and the gondolier's costume in sum
mer comprises linen trousers, a linen shirt,
open at the throat exposing a black and
hairy chest, a greasy, colored sash, and a
dirty straw hat with jauntily rolled rim.
He works as little as he can and lire. He
sleeps and eats and smokes and guzzles
when not at work. He is the veriest coward
about the water, used as he is to it, and
never permits his clumsy craft to approach
the region of "choppy" waves. He is,
briefly, a vain, offensive auimal whom poets
have spoiled and amateur photographers
have developed into an insufferable bully
of these winding, watery streets. For real
manhood, bravery, hardihood, sunniness of
heart and manner and true picturesqueness
of costume and bearing, the guadanero of
Havana harbor is incomparably the more
interesting man and character.
AK EABLY MORNING SCENE.
To my mind a scene in early morning on
Grand Canal in Venice, is far more inter
esting than one in the early evening, when
the faded aristocracy of the city are moving
about with apparent listlessness in their pri
vate blsck gondolas, decorated with their
owners' coats-oi-arns, propelled by private
gondoliers in ridiculous liveries, or at night
when the canal in general is wholly and
offensively a show object to open-mouthed
strangers. In the very early morning, while
the gray is yet upon the water, and the
gurgling of the tides is like the chuckling
of night imps in the dark retreats of the
lowest arches and angles, then it is that the
oddest and most lancinating processions
pass and repass away down there in the
shadows beneath your window. Scores of
little, long barges loaded with vegetables
from the flat, outlying islands are on their
wav to the market at the Bialto. Their
saiis are red, with blue tips and yellow cen
ter pieces, and most grotesque figures oT
Madonnas are painted somewhere on their
gaudily-colored sterns. These barges are
propelled by poles in the handset men in
purple, pink, blue and, orange garments,
and very often a bare-headed peasant woman
is piled in with the vegetables.
Here and there a saudalo, a lighter and
more graceful bark than the gondola, darts
bv. It is rowed by two men, with tasseled
caps, like the Biscayan nshermen. A half
dozen goats are tied Head and tail to the
gunwale, and women and children are milk
ing these on their war to the next customer.
Barcas with soldiers speeding to or from
guard changing, fill the shadowy way with
a din of clattering profanity. Here are four
nuns with bowed heads being rowed on some
errand ot mercy. Again whole families of
the lowlier classes, especially pious (trough
seme common bereavement, are setting out
to be present at some very cheap and early
mass. Here come a crowd of boats with
villagers, vegetables, fowls, flagons of milk
bestowed in dewy wisps of grass, rolls of
butler in last year s sweet, white corn husks,
and numberless and nameless stuffs for the
mercato. They are Iroui the mainland
hamlets, and must have been astir at mid
night. Following these is
A CUEIOUS PBOCESSION
of gondolas piled higher than the gondoliers
heads with household goods, and the people
owning them who are thus "moving" follow
in their own gondolas, suggesting a funeral
of household gods cut short in its cortege.
There are lriars with huge baskets in their
gondolas setting out to the markets to buy
and beg lor their brethren and the poor;
tired fishermen with boatloads ol gleaming
Jruit of the sea; sailors subdued and sullen
after an all-night's roystering on their way
back to their dog's li e and the ships; mes
sengers with the night's collection of tele
grams: bakers in white linen caps and shirts,
with boatloads of black, brown and white
bread; water carriers with huge casks and
flagons of drinking water; butchers, ice
men, grocerymen, all in boats making their
first morning rounds, and all of them down
there upon the water in the shadows seem
ing like some weird and silent maskers in a
dream.
Titian gives his "Bella," in the Pitti Gal
lerv. that light, fleecy and almost transpa
rent golden-red hair commonly known as J
Venetian. This is anotner oi inose pretty
Venetian mysticisms which it is unpleasant
to dissipate. I have seen perhaps 10,000
women in Venice. Among all these no Ve
netian woman was crowned with hair of any
such color. Out of deference to a late freak
on the part of Patti, there were Enrlisb,
French and American dames whose Iftads
were glowing beacons oi -the Titian :9 Ie.
The women of Venice have square heads,
with wide foreheads, deeply sunken and lus
trous eyes, with wide, arching brows which
meet, tiny ears, and hair the texture, color
and quality of a farm horse's black tail
whose outer and exposed filaments have be
come rusty, dusty and gray in fly and plow
ing time. There are three classes from which
to choose your types of Venetian women,
and from none of these will you find the
ideal faces and forms of poetic painting or
the artists' pencil. The first comprise the
women of the aristocracy; thin, tall, plain,
patient, grave, listless, ambitionless, vacu
ous, silent. They remind one of the Jewesses
of Algiers in their languid manner, but pos
sess none of their lustrous, almost pathetic
beauty. They seem to exist as
MEEELT PASSIVE BEINGS
in a hateful present, dolefully regarding
the dead glories of a vanished past. In the
second class are chiefly the brusque, strap
ping, square-bodied wives and daughters of
the small dealers, relic showmen and petty
politicians of modern Venice. Thev are loud
voiced, wide-jawed, brazen-faced; regard
the social revolution which has put them at
the front of the decayed aristocracy as a
gladsome, heaven-sent dispensation; and
mimic the last year's Paris and London
fashions with an affluence and enthusiasm
worthy of their extraordinary vigor and as
surance. The third class is of conrse the
lowly. Its women are bare-headed, bare
breasted creatures with pudgy little faces,
tiny noses and eyes, tiny mouths with
pluckered, protruding lips, necks with a
tendency to goitre, and with no more perfec
tion of symmetry about their bunchy,
squaw-like forms than you will find
in the humpy, bead-protruding peasant
women from Bulgaria and lower
Hungary who are weekly landed at Castle
Garden in Xew York. These glory in
immense flat, crescent-shaped earrings,
metal bracelets upon arms and ankles, huge
strings of gaudy Venetian beads, garlic and
babies. This is not a pleasant picture, but
it is a trne one. AH these faces have more
or less of a plaintive look about the eyes
and drawn pathetic expression about the
mouth. This, the subtle essence of so uni
versal poetic adulation, is ascribed by the
more realistic physicians of Venice to ca
tarrh. I have their word for it that it is an
universal ailment in water-logged Venice.
The only specimen of the tramp species I
have seen in all Italy, though myself an un
blushing tramp and likely to meet the
brotherhood if it existed here, was on the
way from Campi Veteres to Potenza. "We
met at a wayside shrine. After succeeding
in convincing him that there was a natural
affinity existing between us, I shared the
contents of my lunch wallet with him. I
then made him partially to understand the
lnxuriousness, versatility and numerousness
of the American tramp, and, on our way
into the old earthquake-shaken city, he ex
plained with the excellent analysis ana un
erring logic with which all tramps discuss
sociology, why our kind were quite un
known in Italy.
A TBAMP'S LOGIC.
The reasons he gave were, briefly, that he
who had no work to do, or he who preferred
not to engage in toil, in his country from
choice and custom instantly became a beg
gar or bandit. He could adopt neither pro
fession, because a bandit required a certain
amount ot bravery and iuvolved danger.
Being a successful beggar made malforma
tion, or unpleasant distortion and posing,
necessary. Another important reason for
the non-existence of tramps, he thought,
was a certain sharp spur of necessity which
goaded men of desuetude to at least move
ment in rigorous Northern climes. In such
lands as Italy sunshine and sleep were a
good part of food itself; little actual nourish
ment was requisite where there was little
waste from exertion; the laizironi could
sleep out-of-doors nearly all the vear round;
wine was cheaper than good water; prac
tically no clothing was required; and, al
together, sentimental tourists provided
handsomely for all. For himself, he bad a
soul above begging, below the banditti, and
so loved all his adored .Italy that be aspired
to know it from the true traveler's -stand
point. To further this aspiration he re
paired ptdal indurations by day and impro
vised pastoral epics by night, science and
poesy, as it were, wandering band in hand
through the sunny ways or Italy.

In Vallombrou, where tb' Etrurian shades

have seen the vision that came in a swift
longiug to him to again dwell among the
Franciscan monks in the monastery near the
op of the mountain above Florence, and
yearned, as he yearned, for the cool depths
of its restiul shade. It is the one place in
all Italy, save beautiful Palermo, which ful
fills preconceived notions. Tour journey is
eighteen miles from Florence, up the lovely
valley of the Arno, where are embowered in
vine and flowers hundreds of villas occupied
by the Italian aristocracy and nobility. A
broad carriage road leads all the way. "Halt
ing at the little village of Tosi, from which
one was formerly conveyed to the mountain
retreat by sledge drawn by oxen, an hour is
passed at refreshments and in enchanting
views of the cities, valleys, plains and rivers
below, when the journey is resumed up the
Pratomagno mountain, through groves of
the most magnificent beech and chestnut
trees in the world. The songs of birds, the
Folian music of forest breezes, and endless
melodies ot falling waters, so bewitch one
all the way irom Tosi, that suddenly and
without warning you are at the enchanting
mountain eerie. It comprises but a few
acres of level meadow through which runs a
long avenne of majestic trees, and at the
end ot this stands the lichened and gray old
mass of buildings, more famous from three
lines by Milton than any other similar spot
in the world.
AN ANCIENT OBDEK.
The order of Vallombrosans, founded in
the early part ol the 11th century by Gu
alberto, of Florence who, prevented bv a
pious impnlse irom slaying the murderer of
bis brother, though at his mercy, in thank
fulness to God became a religious devotee,
and eventually the founder oi a great ordet
became one of die richest and most pow
erful in Italy; and this one old monastery
held their chief treasure. For this order Ci
ambue painted his priceless Madonna; Pe
rugino, his marvelous Assumption. But
the French Bevolution almost ruined the
order. "When Napoleon's council de
bated whether they should spare the
Vallombrosans, because they kept the
wolves thinned in the mountains, it
was asked, "Shall we have monks
or wolves?" "Wolves!" was the
answer; and Victor Emanuel in 1860, at the
Italian disestablishment, completed their
extinction here. The place is -now used as
a government agricultural school, with a
corps of resident professors, and just above
the monastery is an observatory, one of the
Italian signal and weather stations of to
day. A glorious torrent leaps past the edge
of the meadow; the forests in which the
sweet old nest is embedded were nearly all
set out by the monks; over 40,300 beech trees
are now standing, all of which were' planted
by these vigorous recluses; and though Vul
ioinlirosa it 3,000 feet nbove the sea, the
mountain behind rises 1,000 feet higher,
covered densely with as grand a pine forest
as eyes ever beheld.
Glorious indeed are all the surroundings
and memories of this little upland valley;
but from the top oi Pratomagno the most
ravishingly beautiful view in all Italy is
presented. What wondrous associations
are conjured in contemplation of the fair,
far Casentino Valley, with its boundary be
yond formed by theloity Apednines, where
are born the Tiber and Arno! Tuscany,
home of the dream-breeding vine and of fair
women, stretches sunnily to the westward.
The majestic Duomo glitters down there in
the center of the purple, checkered valley
where Florence stands. And far, taint and
magically seen through the passes of the ut
termost peaks of Carrara, shines a thread of
sapphire where sweep the sails upon the
broad Mediterranean. Descend to the old
monastery. Dream among its cloisters.
Wander among its stately groves. Leave it
to go your way and never return. But all
the sadness Italy has left in your heart will
lie there with something akin to forgiving
tenderness if you hare but once drunk the
ambrosia and known the spell
where the Etrurian shades
High overarch'd embower."

STBIKES AND BUSINESS FAILURES
rsrsctxL rxxxasjuc to the dispatch, t
New York, May 30. Special telegrams
to Bradstreet's point out that owing to the
advanced stage of the season there is rather
less activity in general trade than a fort
night ago. Daring May the volume ot
bnsiness at Omaha is said to have been
smaller than in April, but in excess of the
total for May, 1889. Groceries and boots
and shoes have shown most activity. Coun
try orders South have fallen off during the
week. Crop reports throughout the South
are favorable, but in the wheat district re
ports are conflicting.
Trade reports from Chicago show some
improvement over the preceding week, as
do those from points further northwest. The
opinion gains ground that we are to carry
over nearly 40,000,0 00, bushels of wheat on
July 1 next in excess of the quantity carried
over one year ago, as was pointed out in
Braditrcet's last week. Believers in higher
prices point to reported prospects for a crop
of only 412,000,000 bushels of wheat this
year, as compared with 490,000,000 bushels
in 1889 as an offset, with a tendency to favor
holders of grain.
IBON TBADE AT A STANDSTILI
The iron trade has not developed any fur
ther strength or activity. Heavy, buying
for the summer is expected by some in the
trade early in June. Buyers feel that with
the present extraordinary output of fur
naces, factories, bloomeries, forges and mills
prices cannot help but continue in their
lavor, and hence indifference to the sug
gestions of makers to buy liberally for the
future.
The recent heavy advance in raw cotton
has further stiffened cotton goods values
and advanced some makes of bleached goods,
tickings and jeans Jc a yard. Print cloth!
are steady. The current demand is only
fair from'agents and rather quiet from job
bers. Staple cottons and fall dressgoods
note chief activity. Woolen goods are only
moderately active.
The fall season will open early. Light
stocks and quiet but steady demand impart
continued firmness to the wool market.
Holders and purchasers' views at primary
markets are apart. New wool is arriving
more freely at the seaboard. Carpet wool is
firm, with an upward tendency, on light
stocks and a fair demand. Cotton is 4a
higher on speculative excitement, due to
short covering, growing out of small sup
plies available on contract requirements.
Old crop movement is heavier. New crop
advices cheerful.
SHABE SPECULATION BEABISH.
Bear manipulation on a large vale keeps
share speculation disturbed and depressed.
The trusts "were successfully attacked,-and
the restoration of Western railroad rates
does not prevent bearish raids on the rail
road share list. Bonds are less active, but
values are steady.
An unprecedented number of strikes have
been reported during May. The total is
243, involving 67,507 strikers, against 75
strikes and 26,126 strikers in May last year.
For five months this year the total number
of strikes number 580, involving 136,454
men, against 296 strikes and 75,110 strikers
in a like portion of 1889. The next move
ment for the extension ot the eight-hour day
will be made by coal miners,'who number
280,000. This, we are informed officially,
will occur as soon as the carpenters' strike
is ended. All bnt 5,000 of the carpenters
interested are reported to have gained the
shorter day.
Business failures reported to Bradstreet's
number 140 in the United States this week,
against 186 last week and 135 this week last
year. Canada had 12 this week, against 28

the United States from January 1 to date is
4,767, against 5,044 in a like portion of 1889.
A WIFE SOLD FOB $20.
The Bargain Clinched With a Pair of Boot

St. Louis, May 30. a S. Harvey, of
Hickory county, Mo., an intelligent looking
white man, 35 years of age, has been visiting
St. Louis with his wife, who is an Alaskan
Indian. While at the Alaska diggings he
concluded to ascend the Ynkon river and
got a woman to pole his boat, as a woman
wonld be faithfnl, while any man he conld
get would perhaps desert or murder him.
Her native husband offered either her on
his mother-in-law for $20 a month, and
Harvey took the wife along. Her aid was
valuable. While returning home she said
to Harvey with tears: "I wish you would
buy me from my husband, and I will work
the gold out of your claim after regular
hours of work. I don't want to go back to
him."
Her hnsband decided that $20 and a pair
of boots that Harvey had would be proper
consideration, and Harvey accepted the
bargain at once. The Indian went on a
spree, and a few days later was drowned in
the Ynkon. Harvey and the woman were
married bv a minister as "soon as they
reached this country. "She has made me
a faithful wile, and I love her devotedly,"
he said. Her appearance attracts attention
on the streets.

him with cruelty and drunkenness. She
has also obtained from the court an injunc
tion restraining him from coming on the
premises or in any way interfering with the
property. McAnnally owns improved prop
erty worth $100,000 and has an income of
$10,000 a year from rents He i70 years
old and his wife only a few years younger.
Mrs. McAnnally asserts that the property
is her own and is trying to obtain sole' pos
session. They are the parents of the first
child born in" Birmingham, and on that ac
count a lot in the heart of the city was giveu
them. McAnnally at that time was a poor
bricklayer. He held the lot until it was
worth several thousand dollars, then sold it
and invested the money" in suburban prop
erty, which is now worth 5100,000. Mrs.
McAnnally bases her claim to the property
on the ground that, being the mother of the
child on whose account they received the
lot, she has the strongest claim.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
AOITATED OVER THE HAXTEB.
Cincinnati Knight, or PythU. Worked Up
Over the Action nt Cleveland.
Cincinnatx, May 30.-The action of the
Ohio Grand Lodge. Knights of Pythias, in
amending the constitution so as to make sa
loonlsU ineligible, created a great deal of
comment here. Cincinnati is one of the
strongholds of the order, and several well
Known saloon keepers belong to the local
lodges. The adoption of the amendment re
quired a two-thirds majority, and the
proposition received four more votes than
were necessary. How the saloonkeepers
who are already members of the order will
treat the Grand Lodge's action is not
known, but the matter has certainly created
great stir among Pythians throughout the
State.
Past Grand Chancellor Howard Douglass,
who probably knows more about the order
than any man in the world, in speaking on
the subject said: I was not present at the
time the action was taken. The law of the
Supreme Lodge, under which all Grand
Lodges act in matters ofthis kind, is found
in sub-division 8,- section 2, article 8, and
reads as follows: "No person shall be eli
gible to a lodge of this kind who has not
reached the legal age of majority in the
country where the lodge is located, nor
unless he be a white male of good moral
character, Sound in health, and a believer in
the Supreme Being." The GrandLodges of
Nebraska and Indiana both" adopted amend
ments similar to the one adopted yesterday
in the Grand Lodge of Ohio. After my fight
in the Pennsylvania case, it was
decided by the Supreme Lodge that
any amendment to the constitntion or
any decision of the Supreme Chancellor
before it became a law, should be referred to
a committee of five, of which Hon. William
B. Gale, of Massachusetts, is now chair
man. No law can go into effect until ap
proved by this committee. Therefore the
present law must be submitted to the Su
preme Chancellor and the committee, and
will not be operative till that time. They
have already decided, in the cases of Ne
braska and Indiana, that the law excluding
saloon keepers is null and void, becanse it
conflicts with the law of the Supreme Lodge.
The committee will probably decide the
same in the Ohio case.
A STBTJGGLE WITH A MANIAC.
Detectives Hale R Lively Time Taking a
Patient to Dlxmont.
Detectives Coulson and Bendel had a
lively time of it yesterday taking an insane
colored man to the Dixmont hospital. The
patient was Peter Paul, who has been re
siding with his family on Hazel street, and
who snddenly became violently insane
three days ago.
The detectives had some difficulty with
the patient just before starting, and they
put a heavy leather mun on him. He be
came docile then until the train started out
of the Fort Wayne depot in Allegheny,
when he became excited and began to kick
and fight desperately. The crowded car
was soon emptied, the ladies being afraid
oi the madman, and the three men had the
car to themselves until Dixmont was
reached. The patient fought all the way,
and had to be almost carried from the train
to the institution.
THE CHOCTAW LOTTERY.
A License Obtained at tho Last Session of
the Legislature.
Little Eock, May 30. It is announced
that the Choctaw Lottery Company ot Choc
taw Nation, L T., is about to begin opera
tions, officers having been elected and $900,
000 worth ot stock placed. This lottery ob
tained its franchise at the last session of the
Choctaw Legislature, having secured the
passage of a bill chartering it under the
name ot the Choctaw Orphan Asylum Lot
tery Company.
A large share of the profits is to be given
to the orphan asylum. It is stated that the
United States Government has been asked
to prevent the company from operating on
the ground that the law chartering it is in
conflict with treaties between th Indians
and the United States.

they will act as escorts to the National

Arrangements are being made to have
Pullman cars attached to the special train.
The contract has been closed with the Ft.

THE ARSENAL PARK BILL.
Congressman John Dalzell Thinks It Will
Fin Without Serious Opposition.
Congressman John Dalzell said yesterday
that he thonght the bill he had introduced
into Congress for opening up Arsenal Park
to the public would meet the objections of
the War Department, and he has hopes of
the measnre passing.
Major McKee, commander of 'the post, is
said to have objected to having the property
turned into a public park, because it would
destroy the privacy of the place and spoil
the accommodations. The new bill will
overcome these objections.

comes from the furnace one of the hottest
places in the mill."
The speaker was Mr. Ottman Auberle,
who lives in "Versailles township, east end,
two miles east of McKeesport. He is em
ployed in- the Demmler Iron Mills at
Demmlcr Station.
"I would become very warm," he contin
ued, "and between the heats wonld step out
into the air to cool off. I caught cold alter
cold, but paid no attention to them.
"My nostrils would clog up and I began
to have headaches continually. It was not
a sharp pain at first, but just a dull, heavy
feeling over my eyes. I seemed to have a
cold all the time, and was steadily becoming
worse. My throat became raw and was all
choked up. A dry, hacking, cough set in.
There would be dropping back of nfatter
into my throat, and I was all the time
hawking and raising to clear it. I had
roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. My
eyes became dim and watery.
"Sharp pains, stabbing like a knife,
would shoot through both sides of my chest.
They were so severe at times as to almost
take my breath away. Always there was a
feeling there as if a heavy load was resting
upon my chest crushing the breath out of
me. I breathed with great difficulty and
each breath would be accompanied by a
whistling sound. Some times when I would
work twoorthree pieces of iron.I would have
to sit down to breathe and allow my
brother to take my place at the rolls.
Mr. Ottman Auberle, Demmler Posloffl.ce, Alle
gheny County, Pa.
"My sleep did me no good. I would wake
up feeling more tired than when I went to
bed. I had no appetite in the morning. I
was always sick after eating my breakfast.
It was a feeling as if I wanted to vomit. All
this unfitted me for work. Often I felt as
though I would have to stop wort entirely.
I was more like a dead man than a living
one.
"I read of Drs. Copeland & Blair and
determined to see them. I did so,
and finding their charges even lower than
patent medicines placed myself under their
care.
"Their treatment certainly did wonders for
me. I am feeling as well as I ever did.
In fact, all the symptoms I mentioned have
left me andvI owe my recovery to Drs.
Copeland and Blair." "
Mr. Auberle can be found at the above
address and this statement easily verified.
PERMANENT AND LASTING.
Additional Evidence by Mill.
One year ago last April, Mr. Thomas C.
Harper, of Braddock, Pa., began treatment
by mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair. In
stating his case by letter he complained of
headaches, a bad taste m the mouth, cough
ing and raising phlegm, sharp pains in the
chest, loss of appetite, a very sore, weak
condition of the stomach, with constatit
nausea and distress. After one month's
treatment he was pronounced cured. The
22d of May, this year, Mr. Harper called on
these eminent specialists and said: "Docto',
I just came in to tell you that I have not
had the slightest return of any of my former
trouble in short, that your cure one year
ago was a permanent cure, and to thank you
again."
A short time ago Mr. John Wright, of
Chicago Junction, O., placed himself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland &
Blair. In writing about his trouble he
said:
"Two years ago I was ill with lnng fever,
and never fully recovered from it. I could
not sleep at night. The mucus would drop
back Into my throat, and I would wake up feel
In;; as though I was choking:. Large scabs
would come from my nostrils whenever I used
my handkerchief. They would " often he
streaked with blood. My eyes were affected,
and were continually running a watery sub
stance. I was unable to attend to my dntles,
feeling weak and tired all the time. I had a
hacking congh and ringing noises in my ears.
Gradually I noticed I was becoming deaf. I
would have dizzy spells, and my memory failed
me. I had pains in my chest and had no appe
tite. "A short time after I commenced treating)
with Drs. Copeland A Blair I noticed an im
provement. The dropping in my throat
stopped, my cough and tHe pains In my chest
left me. I can now sleep and eat well. The re
sult has been a great surprise to me, as I had
given up all hopo of ever getting well again."
