The success of Mr. Charles A. Gardner
has been unmistakable; the Bijou theatre
has been crowded, actually crowded, all the
week. A hot been said in these columns
before Mr. Gardner's snccets must be at
tributed to bis nisgnetic personality, his
jolly traits and his sincinc, rather than to
any histrionic ability. No doubt Mr. Gard
ner is content, as any man should be, to ac
cept ".access on these terms. The bank ac
count is a very prettv salve lor any de-"
ficiencies in the artistic line. And, more
over, it is dne to Sir. Gardner to say that he
.' does not claim to be anything more than he Is,
and therefore be merits his success,
V
Itisal-aysacrievons thine to see a good
actor lite Sir. Edcar and a eood company like
that supporting him floundering away to disas
ter In such a miserable attempt at a play as
"The Banker." What has been said in Tan
Dispatch cannnt be unsaid as to the original
production ot "The Banker," hut a modifica
tion of some, portion of the adverse criticism
is permissible now th.it the play has been
condensed and altered In several places
principally as succestea. In these columns last
Tuesday. The second act which was mere
dead weight at first has been backed into toler
able shape. The ovemlns of dialogue and bus.
wes has been cat nnt: the masaueradlnc-rfrl-
newsboy episode belnn omitted as entirely ir- J
reicranr, ana auout -u minutes or laikaroppeo.
After this heroic operation the second act cnt
a great deal more briskly on Friday nizht.
The last two acts are sived by their undeniably
strong situations. The first act is very poorly
cons rncted, and the story is given a miserably
Involved start. To enliven it the soubrette
introduced on Friday night a livelv wing dance,
w bleb delighted the audience. But when was
a tlrsma. saved by each devices as these "Tho
Banker" cannot be made an Interestlncplay.
1 he public bis decided this not tbe critics or
newspaper writers who are envious, heaven
cave us I of Mr. Schonbcrj; because he wrote
"The Banker."
.
In 35 day Mr. Harry Davis has transformed
a dingy little den into wbat J have fair grounds
for believing will be tbe prettiest place of tbe
sort Pittsbnrc has ever bad. A description of
its decorations may be fonnd in another place,
but it may be added that Manager Davis prom
ises that hi-bone shall be really and truly a
place to which ladles and children may go with
Serfect safety. In snort, tbe Fifth Avenue
luseum is to be a decided novelty in many re
spects. The new theater.on Grant street and Seventh
avenue, which Mr. James M. Feet, tbe manager
and proprietor bas named the Clipper, was
opened for a private press view yesterday. Tbe
public will be permitted to examine the in
terior of tbe Clipper on Monday afternoon, and
I bave no doubt that tbe public will be pleased
with what they see. It is a ground floor theater
entirely no galleries. The auditorium is
wide, and rises gently from tbe orches
tra. It is veryeensimy and neatly furnished
hardwood seated cbalrs in iron frames. Tbe
chairs are fairly comfortable. Tbe walls are
palnied In quiet colors, and tbe prncemum
npeninc Is plainly ornamented. Incandescent
lights are to be used, and the exits appear to be
ample. A stock of scenery has been painted
for the house, and a handsome drop curtain,
riving a view of New York harbor with tbe
Bartboldl Statue of Liberty In the foreground.
Tbe stace is roomy, and tbe dressing rooms are
belter tban some of onr first-class theaters give
tbrir actors. Ta' ng tbe Clipper Theater as a
whole It is asattikCtire and comfortable as a
place of tbe kind can be. It is a little out of
tbe way of travel, but persistent advertising
and good manacement will induoe the public
to go to tbe KottbPole in search of amuse
ment. 1 be prices will be 7i CO and 25 cents.
There are seats for 1,200 people.

When it was announced six months or more
ago that Fay Templeton would star in bur
lesque under the management ot William I
Xiykeus, tbe dapper young man who attended
to Magcie Mitcbell's business affairs until bus
band Number Two bobbed up, nobody who
had any knowledge of theatrical affairs envied
Mr. Lykens It ,has turned out as everyone
expected. Tbe Templeton made her debut
vitb a great flourish of trumpets at
the Fourteenth Street Theater in New York
two weeks ago. in "Hendrik Hudson." All tbe
critics agreed that tne burlesque was bad, tbe
company none too good, and the star considera
bly lea lovely and ethereal than of yore. In
fact. Fay Templeton was Fay no more. Noth
ing, in realiti. that tbe Templeton ever did In.
"Jivangeiine." or anytmng else, warranted her
being starred. She was never more than a very
pretty girl wbo took it Into her pretty head to
run away with one of the Chicago jcuncite
doree to Paris and even those undeniable pre
tensions to theatrical glory are two years old.
Now ber remarkable nerve is being tested by
her backer and her manager, who are fighting
over her. It is probable that tbe Fay Temple
ton tonr will never take place; and tbe moral
of the whole business is that mere beauty and
notoriety must be fresh "live," as newspaper
men say of news to command success on the
stage.
.
The senseless, cigarette-smoking, spider
legged dune has been caricatured to death
upon the stage, and it Is good news to bear that
Helen Dauvray, in the new play Sydney Rosen
t eldt is writing for her "Tbe Whirlwind" has
Insisted on a new departure in the wav of
dudes. "I'm going to have that buoyant
character called tbe dude iu my new
comedy." ste said the other day. "He
will be a dnde in the popular sense, but
minus the drawl of voice, dragging limbs,
and attenuated frame cummin to stage por
traits. On the contrary, be will be broad-shouldered,
strong-limbed, and a man of manner as
well as dress. He will be exactly like the
pampered son of wealthy parents, whose physi
cal growth has given him strength and fine
presence, bnt whose feminine association bas
given him a taste for small talk ana a rapid ut
terance, whence proceed tbe humor of his at
tendance. Now, see if he doesn't furnish as
much entertainment as the caricatures of fleh
and spirit generally put forward on stage pict-
Last "Wednesday night John L. Bullivan
made bis first appearance as an actor. Hitherto
be baa merely figured as a pugilist Incidental
to tbe drama. Tbe scene of Mr. Sullivan's
dramatic debut was Proctor's Opera House, at
Bridgeport, Oonn, and tbe medium employed
was a drama by Mr. Duncan B. Harrison, en
titled "Honest Hearts and Willing Hands."
He played tbe part ot tbe virtnous blacksmith,
who thumps the villain at proper intervals
throughout tbe piece, and spoke about a dozen
lines ni.h a gruff earnestness that pleased tbe
audience. He was overwhelmed with bouquets,
and at tbe close of the play tbe audience forced
him to make a speech. Tbe speech is
a gem, and greater actors tban John
L. may at least adopt its brevity
with advantage to their auditors.
"Ladles and gentlemen, I ain't an Edwin
Booth or a John McCuIlough," said Mr. Hulli
van, "but I'm doing tbe best lean. I've quit
my other profession and I'm going to stick to
this, and some day I hope to be a star witb my
partner here. I'm glad to see your smiling
faces to-night, and I hope I'll see them here
after." In connection with Mr. Sullivan's success It
may be noted also that he drinks ginger beer
and nothing else now. Borne other actors
might try temperance just for a change.

"The United States Mail." in iu revised form
and In the hands of a first-class company, made
a successful start at Wilmington. DeU, last
week. There Is no doubt this time about the
merits of Mr. Jenks' farce comedy and Its
actors. The company passed through this city
yesterday en route for St. Louis, where tbey
play to-morrow. Hepbubk Johsb.
this week, which can be stated shortly for the
public's guidance. "The City Directory" Is a
farce comedy of the Hoytian school, written
by Paul Potter. It ran for 960 nights on
end In New York City, the papers
of which city agreed as to its humor
and other agreeable qualities. Since then
it has had a great success jit San Francisco
The company which will play it at the Bijou
Theatre is the same that made New York
bowl. It Includes a number of comedians of
great ability and some extremely charming
women. These are tbe facts which can be
predicated safely here. In addition, tbe retder
may gather some idea of tbe charaater of
tbe production from tbe names of the actors
engaged In it which are as follows: Charlie
Reed, William F. Mack, Charles V. Seaman,
Miss Flora Irwin, Miss Maym Kelso, (The
Little Fawn), William Collier, Miss Rosa
France. Miss Jnsie Sadler, Ignacio Martlnetti.
Burt Haverly. Miss May Irwin, Amelia Glover,
Joseph Jackson, Alfred Hampton. Miss Bessie
Cleveland, Miss Lillian Pendergrass, William
S. Mullaly musical director.
The patrons of the Grand Opera House will
be able next week to enjoy a reportory of tho
legitimate drama in the hands of their old-time
favorite, Louis James. The opening b'll will

Wednesday matinee with "Virginiuss" Wed
nesday iiieht "Hamlets" Thursday night.
"Richelieu;" Friday nicnt, "Julius Caar;"
Saturday matinee, "Jngomar," and Saturday

At Harris' Theater tbe spectacular drama,
"Around tbe World In Eighty Days," will be
prei-ented this week by V. J, Fleming and a
strong company. Tne play is a dramatization
of Jules Verne's celebrated novel.
Other Amusements.
To-mobkow at 1 o'clock Manager Davis
will throw open his elegant new amusement
resort to the public. It is located on Fifth ave
nue on the site of tbe old Casino. It is exactly
S3 days since tbe contract for tbe structure was
given over by tbe architect wbo made tbe plans
to Builder Little. In that time the old building
has been torn down and a new one from tbe
foundations np been erected. Some
Idea can be gained from the outside
of wbat has been accomplished when
tbe scaffolding is once removed but few will
imagine even from tbe beautiful exterior wbat
a metamorphose bas been wrought. A beauti
fully tiled lobby is decorated with mirrors and
tbe work ot tbe frescoers. Tbe name of tbe
bouse and Its proprietor is worked in tile just
in front of tbe box-office. On either side 13 a
spacious stairway that lesds to the curio hall
E roper. Tuis hall is fully 150 feet lung, and the
andxome electno light fixtures make it ap
pear brilliant; A heavy tapestry carpet
deadens tbe sound of outfalls. Tbe living won
ders are to be oeated on stages that are covered
with plush. Overnead are canopies made of
different shades of satin. In tne rearis a ladles'
parlor and toilet rooms. Tbess are in charge
of a neatly-capped matron, and will be found a
luxurious renting place for ladies wbo
may be out shopping and desire to
visit tbe museum. AbuTO tbe curio
ball is the roof garden. There are
pretty cascades and a mmiature representation
ot Niagara Falls witn running water. There is a
happy family ot monkeys, several giant cocka
toos, plumaged birds and a number of rare
anlintls. Funr stairways lead to tbe theater,
which will seat nearly 1,000 people. The chairs
are handsomely UDblterea and are ma m
f actured by Andrew dt Co. of New York. Tbe
stage is a little gem, tbe dressing rooms being
uuderneatb.iAlanager Davis has ueeniortuna e
in tbe list ot features he has secured. Speak
ing of the class of entertainment be will pre
sent, Manager Davis said last night: "It is my
aim to cater tor the best patronage. I want J
place where parents can feel secure in sending
their children, where ladles need not have any
fear of being annoyed if tbe cotue unattended,
and, above all, where all thattbey see and bear,
while it may bring harmless pleasure,
will be of a character, that is inno
cent and inoffensive to tbe most simple
minded person. There will be no repulsive
s gbts or monstrosities iu my place. When peo
ple enter the bouse they will go away pleased
or it is not my fault. Tbe leatures lor tbe
opening include Hablon, wbo has not yet ap
peared in this country outside of New York,
and wbo is pronounced tbe only rival of tbe
great Trew ey. He is said to be the finest facil
mist and mimic of the day. Another
feature that can bo seen on the root garden is
Listun. who. for years, was one of tbe special
ists of Gilmore's Banu. In tbe curio halLPruf.
bteimeii. win vividly illustrate tue progress
elt ctricty has made in a century. His enter
tainment can hardly be described, but is said
to be more than btantifnl. Miss Millie Oatneau,
a young lady possessing rare vocal powers,
makes ber first appearance anywhere ex
cept on tbe concert stage. Leslie and Hard-
man, tue All uromers, ueaoum Araoj ana
and jugglers: Melville and MeClond, barp play
ers and dancers: Charles Mack. Frankie and
James Hall, Manicitious and Queen are all
names well and favorably known. In tbe curio
ball tbe Brabatns and their cabinet; Madame
Myers, ttin bearded lady; Lnuwellen, the
long-haired ladr; Professer Wallace's exhibit
of silk manufacture and many other features
can be seen. 1 be house opens at 1 o'clock to
morrow. The Clipper Theater will be opened on Mon
day afternoon by tbe McCaSrey-Dempsey. Ot
this company tbe Philadelphia Press said re
cently: Mr. McCaffrey made bis best hit in bis
duel scene with "Jimmy" Ryan, on whom be
appeared to make almost as much Impression
as on tbe audience. In the last burlesque the
really artistic scene between Messrs. McCaffrey
and Ryan witb tbe gloves won storms
of applause. In addition to tbe episodical
appearance of Mr. McCaffrey, the McCaSrey-Dempsey
Athletic and Burlesque
Company presented a bill which included not a
few atbletic-looking young women. Two bur
lesques were given, iuto which were crowded
numerous pretty girls, pretty songs and pretty
dances. A catchy danre by Miss Gertie Keith,
songs and dances by Misses Louise Dempsey
and Georgie Blake, were tbe features of tbe
show, although tbe "Gaiety dancers," Tierney
and Lacv, and Hanley and Jarvls, won a large
share of tbe applause.
TBS management of the World's Museum
have been successful so far in catering to the
popular taste. The museum Is conducted in
an orderly way, and a great deal of money is
being spent on tbe attractions. During tbe
past week the museum bas been crowded.
Among tbe new attractions this week are the
Cowboy Samson, Miss Etta Lane, tbe only tl at
tic Bkmned woman, and the feminine Hercules.
Millie Mazie, wbo breaks all sorts of J
things, including tne record, utner attrac
tions of a lively character are mentioned.
Tbe Ada Henry Burlesque Company will ap
peal to the patrons of the Academy of Mnslc
this week. Besides a number ot clever variety
people. Jack Dempsey, the famous pugilist,
will appear.

Geobqie Pabkib has a new .Spanish song
and dance, wmen sne wm introduce for the
first time in 'TJ. a Mail." The words are In
Spanish and she learned them from a native
teacher. Tbe dance Is original with herself,
and is said to be very fetching.
"TBI Old Homestead" is strong scenieally as
It Is, but another marvel of scenic art will be
added, picturing the farm of Unci Joshua
buried In snow. Tbe contract for tbe new
scene was awarded at tbe close of last season,
and ever since the artists have been improving
it.
Johkstone Bbnnxtt Isn't going to play In
the Helen Dauvray Company, after all. She
bas resigned tbe part assigned to her because
she considered tbe character acsulted to her.
Having previously left Mr. Mansfield's support
to accept Miss Daurray's offer, aha is now cot
In it, so to speak.

Lois Fuxxeb Is playing In a piece called "A
Girl ot Girls" at the Elephant and Castle
Theater In London. This is said to be a pirated
version of "Caprice?' Minnie MaddenTi very
trashy play. Lola seems to have reached some
thing like ber level at the dingy, malodorous
Elephant and Castle Theater.
TDK publication of a successful opera Is a
very valuable factor in swelling the profits of
tbo proprietors. It is said that within two days
of the production of "The Merry Monarch" at
tbe Broadway Francis Wilson's publishers re
ceived oiders for over lLOOOeopie of tbe libret
to from Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

EvaMountford made ber debut as a star
last week at Miner's People's Theater, in an
emotional play called "Eugenie Le Tour," and
scored a genuine success. The young actress
came before the New York public in an ex
ceedingly modest way, and no effort was made
in advance to exploit ber merits. In person
Miss Mountforc is a graceful, slender brunette,
with an uncommonly pretty face, large dark
eyes and a pleasing voice.
Locke and Davis will probably employ more
people this season than any other icauagers.
In the Emma Inch Grand English Opera Com
pany are 110 people: In the De Wolfe Hopper
Opera Bonn's Company, 65; in the Minnie
Palmer Comic Opera Company, 60: In "The
Bhatchen," 20; and In 'Claudln's Nero." 400,
making a total or 055. This, of course, does not
include any but those who will be on tbe stage.
The other employes to move these big crganiza.
tions number 43, making a grand total of 88
people whose names will be on the different pay
rolls.
The ballet in tbe third act of "Mme. An got"
bas become a leading feature of that opera at
tbe New York Casino. It was originally de
signed to occupy but about five minutes, but It
grew, by repeated encores, until it bas now de
veloped Into a divertissement lasting a full
quarter of an hour. Tbe news of the success
ot tbe opera at the Casino was cabled t M.
Lecocq, the composer, wbo lives near Paris,
and In reply. Manager Aronson has received
the following message: "I thank jou for re
viving the companion and solace of my youth.
None of mv other operas have ever afforded
me so much delight. I want my new opera,
nearly finished, to be set in the Casino frame."
Mbs. Leslie Oabtjsb will rehearse "The

FOE INDUSTRIAL PUEPOSES.
Soma Interesting: Inside History of the
Short-Cut Eailroad Scheme.
THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI.
It tras learned yesterday that an im
portant transaction in acreage, situated be
tween East Liberty and Braddock, on the
Pennsylvania Eailroad, and comprising
something over 60 acres, had just been sold
by Charles Somers & Co. for 550,000,
They were called upon for further informa
tion, but beyond admitting that they had
made the deal, relused to talk on accuunt of
tbe absence oi some of the p-incipals. The
sale and price are beyond question, but the
exact location is necessarily vague, It can
be said, however, that the land is part of the
estate of one of the most prominent families
in the county.
The transaction, in its outcome, promises
to be of great importance from an industrial
point of view.

Tbe "Short flat" line from Homestead to tbe
Court House seems about as certain as any.
thing in tbe future. There aro some details to
settle and some difference in opinion as to
whether the line, after crossing Hazel wood
avenue, shall go along Greenfield avenne to a
point opposite Lytle avenue and thence to For
ward avenue and Scbenley Park, or via Balins
avenue, direct to Forward and along the park.
It Is only a question of distance ana grades.
The idea is to make the road as near an air
Hue as possible.
It Is immaterial whether the road goes
throngh the northwest corner of Calvary Cem
etery or not, as It is understood that Samuel S.
Brown, who owns the adjoining land, will place
no obstacle in the way, and will prupably give
to the com oany whatever land is necessary for
right of way along the northern line of the
cemetery, Mr. Brown reasons that while bis
land is not in the market, a street railway en
hances tbe value very much of bis entire hojd
Ing. A leading engineer, wben spoken to about
tbe route, said that a line such a contemplated
bad possibilities that very few people realize,
and that, by reason of natural obstacles, it
could bave no possible competitor for Home
stead traffic. As now proposed a man could
live in Homestead and reach Fifth avenue in
less time than If he lived in East L'berty, and
at tbe same expense, and the same is true of
those who live iu tbe remote and inaccessible
parts of tbe Twenty.tbird ward.
A combination of interests embracing the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston railroad,
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and tbe Second
Avenue Electric might have been made a
month ago to prevent or very seriously cripple
this project, but the ground is so completely
covered now that the "Short Cut" syndicate
shuts out everything. It is not tb intention of
the company to deal in lands, and any pur
chases that have been made were incidental to
rights of way.
It is said tbat work will he commenced about
October 1 and pushed rapidly. 1 he connection
of this road at Craft and Forbes avenues with
tbe Duquesne Electric road pretty clearly fixes
tbe identity of the promoters. Wben asked
abont the matter Mr. Fllnn would neither deny
nor affirm tbe reports, and for the present the
public must wait and watch.

Gains and Losses.
Stock trading during tbe week was rather
slow and uneventful. Several disturbing In.
fluences affecting money and labor were pro
motive of caution on tbe part of investors.
These seem to be passing away, making a bet
ter outlook for tbe future. Tbe principal
events were tbe boom and boomerang in Lus
ter. Mo one attempted to acoount for Its
erratic course. It was probably one of the
tricks of the trade.
Yesterday's closing prices of tbe usually ac

Wall street special to John M. Oakley b Co.:
Tbe two most important features which affected
tbe stock market this week were the strikes
and money question. The latter, which threat
ened to unsettle thlncs generally, was relieved
bv tbe prompt ictloq of Secretary WIndom In
offering to pay oar and Interest to maturity fur
$20,000,000 bonds if presented before September
L Nearly tbe entire amount bas been re
deemed, and money Is aealn in good snpply.
Still, tbe fnture of the monev question Is not
altogether settled. Tbe Treasury will have to
do more tbaD tbls, and will bave to continue to
maKo liberal concessions to the holders of
bonds.

Fluctuations nnd ClrnrlnKs.
There was limited trading in oil last week,
and, In- spite of bullish conditions, opening
prices of Monday were considerably shaded at
the close of yesterday's session of tbe" Exchange.
On three days of the week Buckeye was
passed over without a transaction, sbowiog
tbat it has not fairly gained its feet. It may
improve. One price for speculation and another
for consumption keeps outsiders confused and
restricts fluctuations, without which activity is
impossible. The best bid for it yesterday was

tbe exfa holiday, tbe market being too critical

against 78f last night, a gain of 2 per cent,
Which was regarded as tbe result of a fqueezo
of the shorts. Rock Island was again the sub
ject o( attack by the bearish traders, as was
also Chicago gas, but tbe fluctuations in neither
exceeded j per cent, and in the first named the
early loss was afterward recovered. Absoluto
Stagnation marked tbe dealings In the remain
der of the market, and tbe. interest taken was
at a very low ebb. There was a rather firm
opening, with cotton oil certificates np fi per
cent, and, wbile tbe firm tone was retaiued
throughout tbe session, small transactions tell
ibe story of tbs goncral apathy. Tbe close,
however, was firm, at Insignificant changes for
the day.
,- Railroad bonds showed tbe same lack of In
terest and movement which characterized tbe
trading in tocka. Tbe sales were 283,000.
Government bonds bave been dull and beavy.
State bonds bave been dull but steady.
The exports of specie from tbe port of New
tork amounted to f 179,711, or which 1154,708
was in gold and S15.00U in silver.
Tbe Imports of Specie for tbe week amounted
to 1901,854, ot which 698,107 was gold and 203,
247 silver.
The Post saysi The advance in prices for
stocks was more ou covering of short contracts
tban on buying for tbe long account, although
London was in the market as a buyer during
tbe last half of the week. Tbe chief point at
the moment is the scarcity of actual stock, the
amount afloat m tbe market being compara
tively small. With tbe addition to tbe money
annniv which will come from the laiee pur
chases of bonds, the pension pymtlnSep.
tember and the disbursements for Interest and
dividends next week, tbe general opinion Is
tbat stocks should materially advance and
money rule easy.

CHICAGO Wheat Tbe volume of speculat
ive business was quite large and tbe feeling un
settled. Tbe opening was weak and prices
iHo lower than yesterday's closing; and later
alter some fluctuations, tnrtber declined Q
lebut tbe market developed strength, and
prices were advanced lJilc receded again,
and cloed about lo lower for December and
c lower for May than tbe closing figures ou
'Change yesterday.
Coro There was a good trade at lower prices,
a very weak feeling prevailing early, after
which a better tone was manifested, but the
market closed with JQJic decline. Offerings
of all futures were beavy, while tbe demand
was limited to local shorts, and as the inquiry
from tnat source was only moderate the mar
ket bad but little su port, Most of the selling
was by longs, first sales being at c de
cline, when the market sold off quickly c,
catching a good many spot orders on the de
cline, tben tbe market turned ou buying and
closed, as noted above.but ruled weaker toward
the close ot the session.

MORE CONVINCING TESTIMONY.J
Among the extensive fruit raisers in tbs
suburbs abont Pittsburg1, none are better
known than Sir. and Mrs. C. Ooolbach, of
Garrack. In a recent conversation with tho
writer, Mrs. Cool bach said:
"For a number of years I had been 11 con
stant sufferer from trouble in my bead, throat
and stomach. I was constantly catching cold.
My nosa would discharge, and then sometimes
bo stopped up, so tbat I could, hardly breath a
through it at all. and would bave to breathe
with my mouth open.
"Dull pains in my forehead, over my eye
and across tbe bridge of my nose made me
miserable most of the time.
JXrt.C Coolbach, GarracJc, Allegheny Co., Pa.
' "I would feel tired and orn oat most of the
time. In tbe morning especially, I would feel
as If I had no strength or ambition left. My
throat became raw and inflamed. A cougb set
In and I breatbed witb labor and difficulty.
There would he an uncomfortable feeling of
tightness or oppression across my chest.
"Set tbe worst feature of my trouble cam
on after the catarrh had gained a confirmed
bold on me. and bad extended until it affected
me more or lrss all over. Th t was tbo con
dition my stomach got into. There would be a
feeling of nausea and discomfort after eating.
My apoetite became fickle. Nothing would
seem to taste go d. I would sit down to tbe
table feeling very hungry and a few mnutbfnls
w.ittld be all tbat I could eat. I got so bad
tbat I could not retain anything on my
stomach. I wonld bave dizzy spells and spots
would float b'fore my eyes.
HThere would be pains in my stomach at
night. Very frequently I wonld bave sleepless
nights. Tbe trouble steadily grew upon me,
and altbongh I imagined at times I was better,
on the whole I could see that I was steadily
getting worse.
"After I had tried almost everything tbat
could be recommended without retting any re
lief. I went to I rs. Copeland and Blair.
"Their treatment in my casa worked wonder t
I eat well now. feel well, ileep wen. In fact, I
am quits a different person Irnm what I was.
I am very nlid, indeed, to be able to make this
