Ur.ooKLYS. November 2. Dr. Talmage
preached the sixth sermon on his tour in
3'alestine to-day. Alter a pastorate of 22
vears in this city it is astonishing to see the
crowds ot people who throng the Academy
I Music every Sunday morning to listen to
his discourses. No less remarkable are the
audiences that New York City furnishes at
the services every Sunday night. To-day's
hertnou was on the gardens and public
works of Israel's magnificent King, and the
text, Ecclesiastes ii.4-G: ,-l made me great
works, 1 bnilded me houses, I planted me
vineyards, I made me gardens and orchards,
and planted trees in them of all Kinds of
fruits; I made me pools of water to water
therewith the wood that bringeth forth
trees." Dr. Talmage said:
A spring morning and before breakfast at
Jerusalem: A king with tobes snowy white in
chariot decked with gold, drawn by eight
liorsc. liigb-mcttled. and housings as brilliant
as r cu!lopcd out of that very sunrise, and
like the winds fur speed, folluwed by a regi
ment of archers on horseback with hands on
gilded be, and arrows with steel viointe flash
ing in the fun, -l.id from head to foot in Tj nan
purple, and black hairspnnkied with golddust,
all dashing down the road, the !ior-cs at lull
ran. the reins lnne on their necks, and the
crack of wn.ps. and the halloo of the reckless
dvalcane putting the miles at dehmcc. Who
is it, and wuat ! it" King Solomon takinj: an
outing helore hreaki.ist Ir-'in Jciusalcin. to
lus gardens, and paiks. and orchards, and
reccrvii, -i miles down the road toward
ilehron. What .i contract between that and
nelt on thai very road one morning last De
cember. go..'g afoot, for our plain vebicle
tunica luck fo: photographic apparatus loi
COUih. we 03 the was to find what is called
ttolouin's toK the ancient water works ttf
Jcru-alcni. and the gardens of a Kins nearly
3.l)u years ago. We cio-s the aqueduct again
i.itd again and here we are at ihe three great
reservoirs, not ri ins of reservoirs, hut the
reservoirs themselves, that Solomon ouilt
tl.-ce millenniums ago for thclpurpose 01 catch
ing the mouutain streams and passing them to
Jerusalem to slake the thirst of the city, and
ko 10 irrigate the most glorious range ol gar
leu, tiiat ever bloomed with all color?, or
breathed with all redolence, for Solomon was
lire greatest horticulturist, the greatest botan
ist, the greatest ornithologist, the greatest cap
italist and the greatest seientist of his century.
Tiutr.r. GKCAT kesebyoirs.
Come over the piles of gray rock, and here we
areatthehrst of the three reservoirs, which
arc on three great levels, the base of the top
reservoir higher than the ton of the second. the
brtc of the second reservoir higher than the j
tot) of the thud, so arranged that the waters .
gathered from sei eral sources above shall de- I
scenil from basin to basin, the sediment of the
water deposited in eacb of the three, so that by
the time it gets down to the aqueduct which is
to rake it to Jerusalem it has had three filter
ings, and is as pure as when the clouds rained
tt. Wonderful specimens of masonry are
ihese three reservoirs. The w lute cement fas
tening the blocks of stone together is now just
as when the tiuwelso.0tw years ago smoothed
tuelajers. The highest reservoir is 3S'Jx229
feet: the econd, tliilb". ana the lowest reser
voir &DJL169: and deep enough and wiae enough
and tmghn enough to II .at an ocean steamer.
On that December morning we saw the waters
rolling down fioin reservoir to reservoir, and
can well understand how in this neighborhood
tile Imperial gardens were one great blossom,
and the orchard one great basket of fruit, and
that Soloinun in hit palace, writing the song of
songs, and Ecclesiastes. may have been draw
ing illustrations fioin what he had seen that
very morning in the loyal gardens when he al
luded to melons, and mandrakes, and apricots,
and crapes, and pomegranate, and tigs and
spikenard, and cinnamon, and calamus, and
catuphire. and "apole trees among the trees of
wood,1' and the almond tree as flourishing, and
to myrrh and frankincense, and represented
Christ as "gone down into His gardens, and
the beds of spices to feed in the gardens, and
To gather lilie." and to "eyes like nsh-pools,"
ami to the oicc of the turtle dove as heard in
the land. I think it was when Solomon was
showing the Qocen of Sbeba through these
gardens that tue Bible says of her: There re
mained no more spirit in her." She gave it up.
But all this splendor did not make Solomon
happy. One da, alter getting bick from his
morning ride and hefoie the horses had yet
been cooled off and rubbed down by the loyal
equerry, Solomon wro;e the mcmnranle words,
1 olio fug my text, like a dirge vriajed after a
grand march, "Beholu. all was vault v and vexa
tion of spirit, and theie wasnoproht under the
an." In other words 'It don't pay!"' Would
.od that we might ail learn the lesson that this
world cannot produce happiness.
liOCKS CHANGING TO SAND,
llccent travelers in the Holy Land speak of
the rocky and stony surface.of nearly all Pales
tine as an impassable barrier to the future
cultivation of the soil, lint if they bad ex
plained minutely tlie rocks and stones of the
Holy Land, they would find that they are being
skeletonized and are being melted into the soil,
ami. being for the mo-t part limestone, thev
rbloing lor that land what the American and
English fanner does when at great expense
awl fatigue, he draws his wagon loaa of
lime and scatters it on the fields for
tueir enrichment. The storms, the win
ters, the gicat mid-summer heats of
Pal-stinc, b crumbling up and dissoltiug the
rucks are graduallv preparing Palestine and
Syria to yield a product like unto the luxuri
.ant Westehester farms of New York, and Lnn
castcr county farms ol Pennsylvania, and Som
erset counts fanns of New Jersey, and the
other magmncent farm fields of Minnesota ana
V isconsin. and the opulent orchards of Mary
land and 'Jalifornia. Let the Turks he driven
out and the American or Englishman orScotch
laan go in and Mohammedanism withdraw its
Idolatries, and pure Christianity build its al
tars, and the irrigation of which Solomon's
pools was onli a suggestion will make all that
land from Din To Ileersheba as ferule and aro
matic and resplendent as on the morning when
the King lode out to his pleasure grounds in
cuarinl so vriit, and followed by mounted
riders so brilliant that it was lor speed like a
hurricane fallowed by a cyclone.
As 1 look upon thi" great aqueduct of Pales
tine, a wondrous specimen of ancient masonry,
abontseen leet high, two lcet wide, some
times tunneling the solid rock and then rolling
Its waters through stonewar" pipe8, an aque
duct doing us work ten tunes before it gets to
tflose three icseri oirs. and then gathering their
wealth of refreshment ana pouring it onto
She mighty citv nt Jerusalem and filling the
brazen sea ol her temple, and the bath rooms
of her palaces, and the great pools of Siloam,
and Hczekiah, and Bethesda, I find that our
century has no mononoly of the world's won
ders, and that the conceited age in which we
live had be tcr take in some of the sails of its
pride when it remembers that it is hard work
in later ages to get masonry that will last 50
years, to sav nothing of the 3.000. and no mod
ern machinery could lift blocks of stone like
those staudmg high up in the walls of Baalbec
KOT AS GOOD AS THE OLD.
In the old cathedrals of England, modern
painters in the repair of windows are trung to
make something as good as the window paint
ing or 100 y ears ago, and always failing by the
unanimous verdict of all who examine and
compare. The color of modern painting fades
m 50 years, while the color of the old masters
is as well preserved after 500 y ears as after one
tear. I saw last winter on the walls of ex
humed rompeii Paintings with color as frcsn as
though made the da before, though thev were
buried 1SO0 vears ago. The making of Tynan
purple is an impossibility now. In our modem
potteries we are trying baru to make cups and
pitchers and bowl- as exquisite as those
exhumed fiom Herculaneum. and our
artificers arc attempting to make jewelry
lor ear and neck and finger equal to that
Drought up from the mausoleums of two thou
sand years before Christ. We have in our time
glass in all Shanes and all colors, but Pliny,
more than 1.S00 years ago. de
scribed a malleable glass which, if thrown upon
the ground and uentcd could be pounded
straight again by the hammer or could be
twisted around the w lists, and that confounds
all -he glass manufacturers of our own time. I
tried in Damascus. Syria, to buy a Damacus
blade, one of those swords that could be bent
double or tied into a knot without breaking. I
could not get one. Why? The nineteenth
century cannot make a Damascus blade. If
we go on enlarging our cities we may after a
while get a citv as large as Babylon, which was
jive times the size of London.
These aqueducts of Solomon that I visit to
dav, finding tbera in good condition 3,000 years
after construction, make me think that the
world mav have torgoiten more than it knows.
The great honor of our age is not machineiy.
for the ancients had some styles of it more
nonderful; nor art, for the ancients had more
exquisite and durable: nor architecture, for
Roman Coliseum and Grecian Acropolis sur
pass all modern architecture; nor cltiei, for
some of tho ancient cities wero larger than
ours In the sweep of their pomp. But our at
tempts must be in moral achievement and Gos
pel victoi v. In that we have already surpassed
them, and" in that direction let the ages push
on. Let us brag less of worldly achievement
and thank God for moral opportunity. More
good men and good women is what the world
wants. Toward moral elevation and spiritual
attainment let the chief struggle be. The
source of all that, I will show you before sun
down of this day. on which we have visited the
pools of Solnmon and the gardens of the King.
HITTHLEMEM IN DECEMBER.
1 said to the tourist companies planning our
Oriental journey: "Put us in llethlchein in
December, tho placo and tho month of our
Lord's birth," and we had our wish. I am the
only man who has ever attempted to tell
how Bethlehem looked at the season Jesus was
born. Tourists and writers are there in Feb
ruary or March, or April, when the valleys are
an embroidered sheet of wild flowers and
anemones, and ranunculus are flushed as
though fiom attempting to climb the steeps,
and lark and bullfinch are flooding the air with
bird-orchestra. But I was there in December,
a winter month, the barren beach between the
two oceans of redolence. I was told I must
go there at that season, told so before I started,
told so in Egypt; the books told me
so; all travelers that I consulted about
it told me so. IJut I was determined
to see lietblehem. the same month
in which Jesus arrived, and nothing could dis
suade me. Was I not right in wanting to know
how the Holy Land lookea when Jesus came to
it? He did not land amid flowers and song.
When the angels chanted on the famous birth
night, all the fields of Palestine were silent.
The glowing skies were answered by gray
rocks. As Bethlehem stood against a bleak
wintry sky, I climbed un to it, as through a
bleak wintry sky, Jesus descended upon it. His
way down was lrom warmth to chill, from
bloom to barrenness, from everlasting Jane to
a sterile December. If I were going to Pales
tine as a botanist, and to study the flora of the
land. I wonld gu in March, but 1 w ent as a
minister of Christ to study Jesus, so Iwcnt in
December. I wanted to seo how the world's
front door looked when the heavenly Stranger
cntcied it.
The town of Bethlehem, to my snrpnse, is in
the shape of a horseshoe, the houses extending
clear onto the prongs of the horseshoe; the
whole scene more rough and rude than can be
imagined. Verily. Christ did not choose a soft,
genial place in which to be born. The gate
through which our Lord entered this world
was a gate of roek. a hard, cold gate, and the
gate through which lie departed was a swing
gate of sharpened spears. We enter a gloomy
church built by Constantine over the placo in
which Jesus was born. Fifteen lamps burning
day and night and from eeutnrv to century,
light our way- to the spot which all authorities.
Christian and Jew and Mohammedan, agree
upon as being the place of our Savior's birth,
and covered by a marble slab, marked by a
silver star sent from Vienna, and the words:
"Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin
Mary."
CHANGES Or THE CENTUKIES.
But standing there, I thought, thougn this is
the place of the nativity, how different the sur
roundings of the wintry night in which Jesus
camel At that time it was a Khan or a cattle
pen. I visited one of these Khans now stand
ing and looking just as in Christ's time. We
rode in under the arched entrance and dis
mounted. Wc lound the bunding of stone and
around an open square without roof. The
building is more than 2,000 years old. It is two
stories high. In the center are camels, horses
and mules. Caravans bait here for the night
or during a long storm. The open square is
large enough to accommodate a whole herd of
cattle, a flock of sheep, or caravan of camels.
The neighboring Bedouins here find market for
their hay. straw and meats. Off from the cen
ter there are twelve rooms for human habita
tion. The only light is from the door. 1 went
into one of these rooms and found a woman
conking the evening meal. There were six
cows in tho same room. On a little elevation
there was some straw where the people sat and
slept when they wished to sleep. It was in a
room similar to that our Lord was born.
This was the cradle of a King and y et what
cradle ever held so much ? Civilization ! Lib
erty' Redemption! Your pardon and mine!
Your peace and mine ! Your neaven and mine !
Cradle of a universe! Cradle of a God! The
gardens of Solomon we visited this morning
were only a type of what all the woildwillbe
when this illustrious Personage now born shall
have completed His ml'Sion. The horses of
finest limb, and gayest champ of bit. and sub
limcst arch of neck that eier brought Solomon
down to these adjoining gardens, was but a
poor type of the horse upon which this Con
queror, born in the barn, shall ride when, ac
cording to apocalyptic vision, all the "armies
of heaven shall follow Him on white horses."
The waters that rush down these hills into
yonder three great reservoirs of rock, and then
poor into marvelous aqueduct into Jerusalem
till tne brazen sea is full, and the baths are full
and Silo im is full, arc only an imperfect type
of the rivers of delight which, as the result of
this great One's coming, shall roll on for the
slaking of the thirst of all nations. The Palace
ot Lebanon cedar from which the imperial
cavalcade passed ont in the early morning and
to w inch it returned with glowing cheek, and
jingling harness and lathered sides, is feeble
of architecture compared with the House of
Many Mansions into which this One born this
winter month on these bleak heights shall con
duct us when our sins are all pardoned, our
battles all fought, our tears all wept, our work
all done.
THE LESSON" TO BE LEARNED.
Dishonor not the cradle, though it may, like
the one my sermon celebrates, have been a
cradle in a barn, for I think it was a Christian
cradle. That was a great cradle in which Mar
tin Luther lay, for from it came forth the
reformation of the sixteenth centurr. That
was a great cradle in w hich Daniel O'Connell
lay. for from it came forth an eloquence that
will be inspiring while men have eyes to read,
or ears to hear. That was a great craale m
which Washington lay, for from it came forth
the happy tleliverance of a nation. That was
a great cradle in which John Howard lay. for
from it came lortn a mercy that will not ceaso
until the last dungeon gets the Bible, and light,
and fresh air. Great cradles in which the John
Wesleys, the John Kuoxes, and the John
Masons lay, for from them came forth an all
conquering evangelization. But the greatest
craule in which child ever slept, or woke,
laughed, or cried, was the cradle over which
Mary bent, and to which the wise men hrought
frankincense, and upon which the heavens
dropped song. Had there been no manger,
there had been no cross. Had there been no
Bethlehem, there had been no Golgotha. Had
there been no Incarnation, theie had been no
Ascension. Had there been no start, there had
been no close.
A plain man passing a fortress saw a Russian
soldier on guard in a terribly cold night, and
took off his coat and gave it to the soldier, sav
ing, "1 will soon be home and warm, and you
will be out here all night.'' So the soldier
wrapped himself in the borrowed coat. The
plain man w no loaned the coat to the soldier
soon after was dying, and in his dream saw
Christ, and said to Him: "You have got my
coat on." "Yes," said Christ, "this is the one
you lent on that cold night bv the fortress. I
Christ! By the memories of Bethlehem 1 ad- J

CHITICISM OF SEX.
Women Take Such Attacks to Themselves
"While Men Do Not Mind Generalities.
North American Kevlew.J
If there is one more characteristic differ
ence than another between man and woman,
it lies, as has often been noted, in the man
ner in which any adverse criticism directed
against either sex is regarded by the mem
bers of the particular sex supposed to be
aspersed. If it happens to be the feminine
sex upon which the remarks have been
made, our sisters arise as one woman to de
feud themselves. And why? Simply be
cause each woman feels that she is individ
ually attacked, that she is at fault, that the
writer or speaker is aiming directly at her.
On the other hand, If it is the masculine
sex which is criticised, man as a rule pays
little or no attention to the matter. Gener
alities, he has found by experience, hurt
no one in particular. Ko man's individual
vanity is wounded by what may be said in
disparagement of his sex as a whole.
BOHAUCE OF A ETJSSIAN BRIDE.
Married in Prison and Separated From Her
Husband for Ten Years.
One of the saddest marriages on record,
says the London Tit-Bits, is that entered
into by a former Russian officer, condemned
to ten years' bard labor in the mines and a
lifelong banishment, and a young and beau
tiful girl, possessing an ample fortune in
her own right, who had faithfully and
wearily followed the footsteps of her lover.
The bridegroom was brought to the altar
or the prison chapel in the soiled gray
clothes of a miner, his ankle bound by
chains clinched in the iron waistband. The
marriage ceremony over, husband and wife
bade each other a sad but hopeful farewell;
he to return to his gloomy, toilsome life, and
she to wait wearily until her husband ob
tains the freedom of 9 colonist.
FOR NintYOCSNESS

Dr. W. C. Hanscome, Minneapolis, Minn.,
says: "I used it in a case of acnte rheumatism,

vousness, and the results were all I desired."
HIDES AND LEATHER.
Drift of Markets on Liht Hides
Toward a Lower Level.
HEAVY HIDES AHDCALFSKIXS DULL
Harness and Sole Leather Weak in Sym
pathy With Hides.
C0UXTKI BDTTtR GU0WS FIRMER
OFFICE OF TnE PITTSBOTIG DlSFATCn,
Saturday. November 1. 1S90. (
Light hides are still moving downward
and prices are i per pound lower than they
were a week ago. Heavy steer hides and
calfskins are nominally the same as they
were last Saturday, but markets are weak
and the cash buyer would, no doubt, find
holders willing to concede on lost week's
prices. In the early months of the year
light hides advanced about 3c per pound.
About 2Jic of this advance has already
been lost, and unless the downward move
ment is soon arrested the advance will be
lost in a few days and prices will be back to
where they started last spring. Tho quality
of hides is on the decline, a fact which will
account for the weakness of markets. Buff
hides arc now selling at Gc per pound, and at
this figure are weak. Harness leather-tanners
report a quiet market aud look for no change
the balance of the year. There is a slight ac
cumulation of stock. The heavy fall trade
absorbed all products up to a recent date.
Now tanners are getting a little ahead of
orders, but as Pittsburg harness leather always
commands a premium in the world's markets,
there is little fear in the minds of tanneis but
that surplus stock will soon be worked off.
Sole leather, which has been the strong tactor
of markets for a few weeks past, gave signs of
weakness the past week and while markets are
nominally unchanged, the situation is favorable
to the buyer.
Firebrick ltoomlng.
Dealers in this line rcpnit a great scarcity
of stock. From cheapest mill brick to finest
steel there has been a shortage for the past
few weeks and dealers are unable to fill orders.
One of our leading firms reports that they are
three months behind orders in the line of high
grade firebrick. The demand lor paving fire
brick is also above supply. The trade in all
lines has very much increased the past year.
A leading dealer said yesterday that the con
sumption of firebrick had fully doubled in this
city the past year. The wane of natual gas
and necessary substitution of coal and coke in
the iron mills, will make extra demands on the
firebrick output, so that prospects for the com
ing year's trade are immensely heightened by
recent developments as to natural gas.
Said one of our leading dealers in firebrick
to-day: "Our trade is in an unusually healthy
condition. There is no excitement, but a steady
demand for all our goods. Our principal diffi
culty now is to satisfy regular customers. New
comers are forced to wait until their orders can
be filled. I have never known the time when
the firebrick industry rested un a more solid
basis than it does to-day."
Country Butter.
Demand for country rolls has very much im
proved the past week in spite of oleomarga
rine, which is coming to our city in quantity
equal to six or seven carloads per week. Ped
dlers have no difficulty obtaining 23c per pound
for fancy country rull butter from the grocery
stores. Commision merchants reoort 20c as
the outside price for country rolls, but the con
sumer lias to pay not less than 50c per pound.
A Southside grocer said to-day: "ye pay -25c
per pound to peddlers for all the choice coun
try butter they bring us, and find ready sale for
all we get at a" reasonable profit."
The ban Francisco Chionicle estimates that
the fruit shipments from California to the
East this year will reach 10,000 carloads, or
200,000.000 pounds. It says: "At an average
price of 5 cents a pound which may be consid
ered low, as the above embraces a vast quan
tity of dried fruits, which sell at from 8 to 20
cents a pound our surplus for export will
bring the State at least 510,000,000. This is a
pretty good showing for a sction in which
apples and pears sold freely at Si 60 to $3 a
pound 40 years ago, and which at that time was
deemed by many persons unfit for any other
purpose than to dig gold aud raise cattle for
their hides and tallow."

moderate range, with the feeling firm. Opera

Trade is qniet, and markets are
generally favorable to the buyer. There
is a good demand for all choice products of
fered. Country butter, which has been
neglected of late, is coming into good request,
and fancy stock is in good demand at outside
quotations. Supply ot potatoes is better than
tor some weeks past, but markets are firm for
all choice stock. Fancy apples are in good re
quest at outside quotations. Grapes are still
plenty and slow, and uutil the crop is worked
off other fruits will' find hard roads to travel.
In tropical fruit lines lemons are scarce aud
firm, and bananas dull and slow. Malagi grapes
are on the advance. Tokay grapes are close to
their end for this season. Quotations on
fancy country roll butter are in accord with
what peddlers charge the retail grocer. Com
mission merchants are ready to sell the best
country rolls at 20c pernound.

A Holiday in London Makes a Dull Market
This Side of the Water Big Losses In
Reading and Sugar Refineries.
New Y'ork, November l. l'he trading in the
stock market was like that of yesterday pro
fessional only, with the same activity and
prominence in Sugar Refineries and Reading,
while the general list was dull and stagnant, or
taking what little tune was displayed from the
movements in the two leaders. The holiday in
London and the approaching one here tended
to make things dull, aud the amount of busi
ness done in the other stocks was significant m
the extreme.
The opening was made at irregular but
slight changes from last night's prices, and in
the early dealings seme firmness was shown in
the Grangers and Chicago Gas, but this soon
gave way to a drooping tendency, owing en
tirely to the weakness in the two leaders. The
reservation of the decision in the Sugar case
was interpreted as unfavorable to the interests
of the certificate holders, and the traders and
professionals sold the stock down from 67
last evening to 64K- The same sort of pressure
was exerted against Reading, though there was
a pretense hat long selling had been detected
and from 35 it settled down to 33!.
Thehank statement was issued unu-ually early,
however, and it showed an unexpected increase
in the surplus reserve, by which it is again
lifted above the requirements of the 25 percent
rule, and the traders then wentin tocoversome,
of their short contracts put out earlier in the
morning, with the result of causing a partial
rally all along the line, and Sugar rose about 1
per cent and Reading K. while the losses in the
remainder of the list were nearly wiped out.
The close was dull hut firm at the improve
ment. The final changes are generally in the
direction of lower figures, but Sugar and Read
ing are the only ones showing any loss of im
portance, the former being down 2 and the
latter 1 per cent.

Considerable Doing in the Local Stocks, bnt
Values Far From Satisfactory.
A fair business was transacted in local stocks
Saturday. Sales were 25 shares of Electric at
28. 130 Philadelphia Gas at 2 10 at 25, 15 at
25J4 10. b. o. 10, at 23: 20 Switch and Signal at
13)4, 20 Central Traction at 25. and 10 at 25;
total sales, 240 shares: total for the week. 1.583.
There was a steady selling movement all week,
and nearly everything closed at or near the
bottom.
Final prices of Saturday, as compared with
those ot the previous Saturday, show the lol
lowing changes in the leaders: Philadelphia
Gas dropped 1; Central Traction. 1: Electric.
X. and Switch and Signal, New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal gained J? and Luster 1.
Outside of the natural gasser. the weaKest
features were the tractions, for which there
was practically no support. Money is working
easier, and the prospect for improvement is
better than for a long time.
ON A CASH BASIS.
Business a Little Oil", but Gains Over Last
Year Piling Up.
In business afTairj no news is always good
news. When there is anything wrong the pub
lic soon hears of it. This holds good of the
local money market Saturday aud during the
week. The shrinkage in exchanges is easily
accounted for by the political excitement,
rough weather, had roads and natural gas
scare, all of which are temporary aud will
quickly pass away.
While there was a shrinkage in bank clear
ings, as compared with the previons week,
there was a gain of nearly S2.000.000 over tho
same period last year. So long as the volume
of business overtops 18i!), which was a year of
remarkable activity and development, there
can be no just cause found for complaint.
Money was easier at the close than at the open
ing of the week, and al! good paper was ac
cepted. Time loins found more lavor, but the
bulk of the business was on call. Rates were
67 per cent, with the emphasis on the inside
figure.
The Clearing House report for the day and
week, as prepared by Manager John M. Chap
lin, when properly analyzed, is a fair and ac
curate presentment of the state of trade. It
follows:

Choking Catarrh.
Have yon awakened from a disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life
breath from your tightened chest? Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the eifort to clear your throat and head of this
catarrhal matter? What a depressing influ
ence it exerts upon the mind, clouding the mem
ory and filling the head with pains and strange
noises! How difficult it is to rid the nasal pas
sages, throat and lungs of this poisonous mucus
all can testify who are aflltcted with catarrh.
How difficult to protect the system against its
further progress towards the lungs, liver and
kidneys, all pbjsicians will admit. It it a terri
ble disease, and cries out for relief and cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all
other remedies utterly fail.of Sanford's Ra d
ICAL, Cure, are attested by thousands who
gratefully recommend it to fellow sufferers. No
statement is made regarding it that cannot be
substantiated by the must respectable and re
liable references.
Each packet contains one bottle of the
Radical cure, one box of Catarrhal
Solvent and an Improved Inhaler, with
treatise and directions, and is sold by all drug
gists for SI.
