vliat you have witnessed, have you any in
c'ir.ation to repeat your visit? I mean, of
course, in relation to your advertisement?"
"I ive you my earnest assurance, madam,
that 1 have every disposition to come again
and ajjain, if you think it possible that your
niece may be induced to comply with the
su;setion I mentioned before she hurried
aivar."
But the old larlT could not give me the
least climmer of hope on that point.
"It is a secret and so it must remain," she
remarked positively, "until a husband has
led her to the altar. " After that it will be
for him to deal as to the future. Of course,
you will understand, sir, that this interview
is merely preliminary. Although my niece
Is desirous ol securing a husband's love and
protection it will be necessary to prove that
he is a man of respectability, and not a mere
ncedv jidventurer. Just as, on the other
hand", it will be shown to his satisfaction
that what, alter all, is the main inducement
in the affair money a sufficient amount is
possessed bv the fady, and that it is hers
absolutely siid without control. I may tell
you that my niece has a iortune of 10,000,
which, subject to the conditions you have
alreadv been made aarc of, she will will
ingly dividcwith a suitable applicant (or her
hand as soon as the marriage service is com
pleted." "One question, my dear madam. Is there
anv particular hurry? Is it a contract that
inut be completed within a short space of
lime?" .
"On the contrary, sir, my niece, adored
bv mc, stipulates lor a courtship ot at least
sfx months' duration, during which period
an accepted lover would see her asoltcnas
he chose."
"See her as I have, you mean, veiled and
close-concealed?"
"Exactly."
With a promise that I would communi
cate with Allele in a day or two, I hastened
Track to Hibbitson to ac-quaint him with the
amazing particulars at Fulham.
Clutching the knees ot his trousers, and
with his mouth ajar, he listened while I re
late! the strange story from first to last,
winding up with the old lady's statement as
to what was the amount of her niece's for
tune, and how that she was willing to Divide
it on the marriage day with her accepted
husband.
"But I can't ni ike head or tail of itl" ex
claimed Hibbitson, scratching his head with
violence. "She i sound wind and limb
you will excuse the horsy phrase as applied
to your mysterious bride in perspective she
is shapely" and graceiul, educated and com
panionable, and you have seen her portrait
Jrom the photo, and guaranteed genuine,
and she is. as you declare, there depicted as
being as nice lookinc as any reasonable man
could desire. Then why the dickens and all
his angels does she wear a veil0 "Why that
extraordinary outburM, which in your opin
ion was genuine, respecting 'frightening
lieggars and Dakiug docs bark?"
"Ah! yes. But you musn't forget, Hib,
that herannt corrected here there."
"I remember that she did so," replied
Hibbitson, with another turn at his hair.
"She reminded the young lady that the
truth was quite dreadful enough without ex
aggerating it."
"Truly Hib. If a man had said as much.
I noa't tee Low I could adopt any course but
one. But you know what women arc, they
totoricusly make a fuss about trifles. Be
sides, there is plenty of time lor reflections.
The party is not waiting at the door for an
answer."
"Prom which sage remarks," said Hibbit
son, "I gather that you already have half
xaade up your mind. To be sure 5,000 is a
tempting sum, but "
And my friend shook his head dubiously.
"You would advise me at this early stage
to abandon the specvlations?"
"2Cot so, but 1 would have you weigh
well the possible consequences. For in
stance, 5.000 would not prove an adequate
compensation if the fear ul truth, as the old
lady called it, w?s, after all, not much ex
aggerated and neroically faithful to your
marriage vows, you found it absolutely
necessary to banisli vourself with your bride
to some desert island."
"But, hang it all, Hib, she cannot be so
hideous as tint comes to. The wor6t I can
conjecture is, that since that photograph was
taken, she may have had a severe attack of
nallxx and is badly pitied scarred per
haps. "Well, even such a serious blemish as
that, in an amiable and accomplished young
wouiau "
"Would connt for so little," Hibbitson
ttrnck in, "in this confounded money-grab-hiflg
aire that, with 10,000 at her command,
ihe need make no mystery of the matter.
There is no lack of business men who would
marry her were she as ugly as Satan's sister.
2o, tid, my boy, I am afraid it is some
thine worse than that. By-the-by, did you
take particular notice of that portrait draw
ing?" "It was unfinished, I tell you?"
"Butdid it strike you, or docs the memory
of it recall to your mind a lace you have
seen anywheic lately?"
"Anywhere is a wide field."
"Well, we will narrow it. There arc cer
tain illustiated papers the Hue and Cry,
for instance in winch are published the
portraits ol criminals at large "
"Good heavens, Hibbitson! You can't be
serious."
"Well, there's nothing particularly comic
about it. You wouldn't find it so, my boy,
it, at the unveiling alter the nuptial ceie
mony, you fiud iliai your wife is a party
arj:e.itiy 'wanted' iu a police case."
Preposterous as was tne last suggestion of
my ingenious frieod, it took such hold on
ray alarms that I resolved that I would see
tne lad's lace or abandon the negotimion.
Tuere was but one way of bringin;: the af
fair to that issue. I would go to her and
pledge luystlfin any way she chose to make
tier ibv wife, u 1 might do so without com
promising my reputation, provided that for
OBe little minute she withdrew her veil.
And quite determined, for I had passed a
tlecpless night, to have the business settled
oi.e'wjy or another, I set out for Fulham.
having arranged with Hibbitson to see him
in the alternooa and acquaint him with the
result.
And J again saw Adele. I need not de
tail the enormous difficulty I experienced
even in prevailing on her to listen to my
propositionjwith anything like patience, and
even when I had so lar succeeded at least
another half hour was consumed in induc
ing her to believe that the oatli I proposed
taking should be held secret. She at last
consented. There was a chiming clock on
the mantel shell and its silver bells denoted
the hour of 2, as, with trembling fingers,
she unclasped the tortoise shell circlet irom
lier head. It could not have been more than
a minute and a half alter the hour, when,
.'ie as a man who has seen a ghost, I was
hurrying from the house in a state of mind
I will not attempt to describe. I had not re
covered my hair was still in wild disorder
when Ibnr'tinto Hibbitsou's room.
"Why, S.d! Why, what on earth is the
matter? You have seen her, that is evi
dent." "I have, my dear friend, I have," and I
covered my eyes with my hands.
"Whfre"? It is true, then, about the dogs
harking?"
"Hib," and by a desperate effort I spoke
calmly, "she is pea-green!"
He was so amazed that his pipe dropped
from his lips and was broken on the hearth.
"As light a green, Hib, I solemnly de
clare to you as the leaves ot the lime tree in
early spring; and she nas large blue eyes
and white teeth and auburn hair ugh! hor
rible: horrible!"
"But surely it is not her natural com
pletion?" "I kuow nothing about that I didn't
want to hear the particulars. I only know
that green she is, and green she will remain
till the day ot her death. There is only one
thine lor me to do."
"And what is that?"
"Drown myself! That's about the easiest
mode of exit, tnev si v."
"Put that's childish."
"How do you make it? It is my only
alternative. I must, as a man ol honor,
m-irrv her, if I remain alive. The stipula
tion I made was, that in any event I would
make her my wie it I might do so without
. compromising my respectability, and so far
as lam aware there would be nothing im
moral in marrying a green-faced lady.
Good-bv, old boy! I'd best be off at once,
and before I become cool and cowardly."
And I hurried out of the house. But be
fore Hibbitson could overtake me I had
. 1 rVrfirniWMidfeft-
barely crossed the threshold and reached the
street when a hand was laid on my shoul
der. It was a witch-like old crone, with a
poke bonnet, and a shabby old cloak reach
ing down to her heels.
"Sir," said she, "mayjl speak a few words
with you?"
"Oh, confound you, be off. I've gotnoth
ing to give you."
But still, with her hand on my shoulder,
she poked up her wrinkled face, and whis
pered the words "Adele Cranston!"
"Well, what or her?"
"Nothing, that I can reveal in the open
street. Much, if you will allow me to speak
with you in private. This much you may
know in advance, however I hold the secret
of her life's happiness of yours too, may
bel"
Hibbitson was at the door by this time,
and heard those last words and exchanged
looks with me. We had her up into his
room in fewer seconds than there were stairs
to mount. It was a marvellous story this
old woman had to relate, and it is a great
pity that my limited space compels me to
condense it. It was this old hajr she was a
Frenchwoman who had so hideously al
tered Adele Cranston's complexion. It was
her poverty that induced her to make the
staitling disclosure. Nearly two years
previously her husband, who was a chemist,
as well as a preparer of hair dyes and waters
for the complexion, was visited at his ob
scure little shop by a lady. Was itpossible,
she wished to know, to dye the human face
indelibly, not black or brown, but some
staring color such as green or blue. It was
a curious inquiry, but her husband, who
was cunningly clever at his craft, replied
that it was quite possible. And with that
he kept her waitinc a little time, and then
produced her a small drop of perfectly color
less liquid and dropped a minute portion of
it on lus bare arm, and in a minute or two
the spot changed to a vivid green.
"There, that spot will remain as long as I
live; no acid will efface it. It can be re
moved onlv by cutting away the skin com
pletely." '
"Will you sell me some of it?" the lady
asked.
"Not unless you give me a full and suffi
cient reason, and pay me my price," re
turned the old rascal; "it is not forvour own
face you require it?"
On which the lady boldly declared that it
was not for her own face, but for the face ot
an enemy, a cousin, and her rival, and
deadly eneniy-
"She has robbed me of my lover," said
the lady, "and I would be revenged on her.
She uses your washes for her complexion.
Make up a bottle of that, she will not know
the difference, and here are 20 sovereigns. "
And the treacherous compact was made,
and with what disastrously successful re
sults the reader is already aware.
'You atrocious old harridan one," I ex
claimed, "what is to prevent my placing
von and your husband in the hands of the
police?"
"My husband is deai, so you can't hurt
him. And as far as I am concerned, this is
to prevent it" And as she fpoke she pro
duced from a Docket under her cloak a
flask of liquid clear as water. "This is a
safe solvent of the green dye that otherwise
is immovable. Give me 10 and it is
yours."
Ten! I would have given her 1500, if I
had happened to have it by me.
"Give me time to prove the virtue of the
stuff," said I. "Come here again in three
days, and if the magic is accomplished, the
money shall be yours." And ou that promise
she left the flask with me, and took her de
parture. Hibbitson and I were half crazy with ex
citement. "Start off at once, Sid. Lose not a mo
ment." "Yes, but the confounded difficulty is, I
rushed out of the house in such a brutally
unmannerly way, I don't know how to ap
proach her again."
"Pooh! where is the difficulty? What
was more natural than that you should leave
her unceremoniously, when you were in
such red hot haste to restore her natural
beauty?"
"Hib, old boy, vou are a jewel." And I
pressed his hand gratefully, and hurried
awav to Fulham.
And les than a month afterward, I led
Adele, radiant and lovely, and without her
veil, to tut altar.
And so I got a rich and charming wife,
and the old woman got her 10, and Hib
bitson got well, nevermind tha He must
have got something substantial, or he would
not have been able to alter his ways of liv
ing in the way lie has. By James Green

DESPERATE CRIMINALS
BRUTALLY BEAT DOWN A GUARD AND
ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Bloodhounds Put on the Track of the Fug
itives The Jailor Overpower Ono of
the Prisoners Alter a Fierce Struggle
for Possession of a Revolt er.
:srri.iAi.Tj!i.EonxJiTo tub nisrATCa.:
Txxakkaxa, Akk., Dec. 5. Napoleon
McDaniel, convicted here recently of wreck
ing and robbing a Cotton Belt train and
sentenced t) imprisonment for life, escaped
from jail last night, and up to this hour has
eluded pursuit. His protracted trial
will be remembered, and pending the
hearing of his appeal to the Supreme Court,
be was in jail here under a donble guard.
Last night Jim Sharp, a guard, opened the
tront door of the jail corridor to go to bed.
JIcDaniel, BaseBarrfieldandaman named
Buckingham had succeeded in dislodging a
bar in the cage door, and Sharp was felled
by McDaniel, who used the non bar
wrenched from the cage lor the purpose.
McDaniel seized the guard's pistol and
made off. Barrfield.wbo is awaiting trial for
the murder of Dr. Lee, at New Boston, last
spring, turned aside from the fugitive party
and entered the jailor's sleeping room to
procure arms. He found the jailor asleep.
but quickly aroused him, and in the scuffle
for the possession of a pistol the jailor was
the victor and marched Barrfield back to his
cell.
In the meantime, McDaniel, accompanied
by Buckingham, bad made his escape, and
the former, after making some trifling pur
chases at an adjacent store, went off leisure
ly. It is said he is heavily armed. He
was seen in the vicinity of the city this
morning and asain this evening, I though
large parties have been scouring the
woods in every direction. Bloodhounds
from Bonham arrived this evening and it is
possible the fugitive will be captured. He
is a very desperate man and many persons
who assisted in bringing him. to justice will
not rest easily until he is again behind the
bars.
Sharp, the guard, is said to be in &
dangerous condition. Buckingham, who es
caped with McDaniel, was serving a sent
ence for carying a pistol. John Griffin,
couvictcd recently for forgery and given a
short term, though a smaller man than Mc
Daniel, cot stuck in the opening and not
only failed to effect an escape, but prevented
the egress of the other prisoners from the
cell. Large crowds are out tor McDaniel.

The Wabash Railroad Ousted From

Indianapolis, Dec. 5. Judge Woods,
of the United States District Court, to-day,
at the motion of the Chicago and Erie Bail
road, issued a decree of ouster against the
Wabash to compel it to cease using the
tracks of the former road from Michigan to
Laketon.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather, my diamond sale was a success.
The best people in the city were present to
take advantage of the opportunity to buy
first-class diamonds at their own prices.

PULPIT AMD POLITICS.
The Treacher's Call to Deal YitU
E very-Day Affairs of Life.
AFFAIRS WHICH ARE IN PL'ACE.
Churches More Sociable Than the Enemy
is Eeady to Admit.
GLEANINGS PE01I PASTORAL FIELDS
The Preacher's Prerogative,
The question of
what a preacher has a
right to discuss in the pulpit is ever and
anon springing up, and everybody has his
opinion of just what the minister may or
may not say. Politics are to be discarded
from the pulpit, especially when they are
not our kind. In the time of the great un
pleasantness, from 1861 to 1863, when the in
tegrity of the Republic was 3t stake, it wa
an unpardonable sin in some minds lor the
preacher to speak or pray for the cause rep
resented by the boys in blue their
spiritual adviser should preach only the
gospel. One such is remembered, who. was
ready to crucify his minister for his appeal in
behalf of the Union when Port Sumter was
fired on by South Carolina rebels. A few
weeks after his tirade against political
preaching, the same indignant brother, who
vowed that he would never darken the doors
of the church, brought to his'1 pastor a ser
mon by Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, on -the
"Evils of Abolitionism,' and advised a care
ful, it not prayerful, perusal. When the
politics chimed in with the disgruntled
brother's views there was no objection. The
preacher who does not applv his teaching to
the every-dayaffairsof life is beating the air.
The religion that cannot go into the home,
trade, politics, everywhere, is not good for
this world or any world. And the
preacher whose calling demands that
he shall show what religion is, will
soon find his occupation gone if he tails to
show the relation of Christianity to trade
and politics, and lift up 'his voice against
monopolies, trusts, intemperance and the
various foes of the cause he stands for.
Church Sociability,
There is a somewhat prevalent impression
that the churches generally are lacking in the
grace of sociability. Buttliisis.no more true
than tbe stereotyped idea that ministers' chil
dren all turn on t bad. In "both cases tbe ex
ception to tbe rule Is unduly magnified until
it looks like a mountain. While one preachet's
boy goes down bill 100 go up. When there Is
one instance of the lack of sociability in a
church there are 1C0 cases the other way. If a
man, who is to blame chiefly for it himself, does
not receive the attention he thinks "his
majesty" deserves ho never ceases to talk
about it. But the thousands who receive cor
dial treatment make no mention of what is so
common.
Church"socials"are civen to brine; this about.
The Dispatch cot hold of. an .Illustration of
how the thing is done. One of tbe largest and
most fashionable churches of the East End will
hold a "social" week after next. A lady who
has been in tbe church almost one year, but
who is still regarded as a "stianger," received
the live following invitations. The first is from
tbe pas tor's wile:
"Ihere is to be a social In the East Liberty
Church. December 16. Our pastor is desirous of
meeting all who have come to us recently. Wo
should be particularly glad to have your hus
band anil jourselt join in onr sociability, and
hope you will tind the people of the church so
whole-souled and hearty In their greeting that
you will feel like castingyourlotamongthem."
The second invitation was from tho wife of a
loading officer in tbe church.
Knowinc that you aro a stranger among us
I take pleasure in extending an invitation to
ou to our church social, to be held the I6th of
this month. I send the invitation early, so that
jou may plan your engagements to suit the
date."
Tbo other three invitations 'are equally cor
dial. Such work is frequently done, but tbisis
tho first time it has moderately made Itself
known to the public. This case is given in jus
tlco to the church, with the hope of removing a
lalse impression that exists too generally.

TACTICS OF THE BIG LAND GEABBEKS
To the Editor of Tbe DISDatcn:
Please allow me sufficient space in your
popular paper to test! fy what actual observa
tion has taught me in nearly 12 years of
travel all over the Western region once
known as the "Great American Desert,"
most of which has been redeemed and is in
a high state of cultivation and improve
ment at the bands of our American fellow
citizens, native born or naturalized, relative
to the treatment of the Indians by our Gov
ernment. Having noticed in The Dispatch ot
this date the press dispatches from Washing
ton, D. C, bearing upon the controversy in
the Senate over Mr. Hawlev's joint resolu
tion "authorizing the Secretary of War to
issue arms and ammunition to the States of
North and South Dakota," which said dis
patches also report the highly grotesque and
ridiculous position of Senator Voorhees, of
Indiana, in attempting to "table (or
perhaps "floor) Mr., Hawley's reso
lution, I desire to protest, in my humble
way, against the gross injustice almost sure
to result to our already impoverished and
much-imposed-upon American settlers in
tbe Dakotas, should the Seuator from In
diana (Voorhees) gain his point. I am not
blind to Mr. Voorhees' ability as a states
man, but personal knowledge of the ques
tions involved in the present contest lead
me to believe that the great Democratic
Senator is poorly posted, or possibly he has
depended for his information upon General
Miles (the great General now taking in the
situation with a power ul field glass from
tbe top of some high building in Chicago).
IN ACCORD WITH THE FACTS.
The united testimony of Chairman Dawes,
of the Indian Committee, and Mr. Pierce,
of Dakota, is in strict accord with the facts
as I have found them not only in the Dako
tas, but in most parts of our prairie country,
from the Missouri river to the Rocky Moun
tains and lrom British America to the south
ern line of Indian Territory (commonly
called, in Western parlance, the "Indian
nation".).
The whole system, as practiced in the
past, has amounted to a palpable discrim
ination against honest and long-suffering
white settlers, and solely in the interest ot
the poor (?) Indian (and his brother blood
curdler, the big land grabber), and, it seems
to me, our representatives at Washington
should either personally inspect the afflicted
sections of our country at the expense of tbe
Government before "airing" their views, or
appointatrustworthy committee composed ot
Senators and Representatives, jointly, to
"lakein" the situation as it truly exists
paying greater regard to the evidence given
by tbe respectable American "squatter" and
less to the average disreputable "Indian
supply shark."
It is well known by those who have lived
in the States west of the Mississippi, that for
years, since the settlement of that section,
the enterprising pioneer has gone on practi
cally unprotected, all the while producing
wealth with which to line the pockets of
our common country, while the foe of this
same pioneer, the common foe ot our lore
fathers (and, for that matter, of ail civiliza
tion) the big Indian, has been kept like a
petted, spoiled child, wrapped happily (or
unhappily) in the brawny, benevolent arms
ot Uncle Sam.
PATJLTS OP THE BEDS.
Indians are not alone treacherous they
are extravagant and avaricious. They have
all along insisted, in their dealings with
our Government, that great tracts of land be
set apart and reserved as pleasure grounds
for them. They use but little of this land
for any purpose, but still it is theirs and
must therefore remain untouched by tbe
"pale-face."
And not only has the Indian these many
years been battling back tbe column of civ
ilization to the Westward, but the honest
settlement of that section under the home
stead, pre-emption and timber culture laws
has been greatly retarded by a class of land
grabbing monopolists, whose avarice is on a
par with that of tbe Indian, and one of
whose pet schemes is to stir up mischief
among the redskins to accomplish their
heart's desire, namely, to drive out the poor,
oppressed settler in order that these "lords
of creation" may place some hireling in pos
session whose bounden duty is, under pen
alty of discharge, io convev the lands to his
lord.
Few Easterners, I feel safe in saving,
have a correct conception as to the plans
adopted by this latter class of opponents of
the true American pioueer. They have ac
quired thousands upon thousands of acres
of the choice lands by tricks (to which our
servants at Washington seem blind), such
as employing "hirelings" or shiltless fel
lows to make a pretense at settling upon a
quarter section or more of land under tbe
several laws above referred to, said hireling
being required to perfect his false and
fratlulent title (even by perjury, if need be)
and almost immediately, or at such time as
all suspicion shall have died away, to con
vey the same in its entirety to my lord
duke vho furnished the camping outfit and
"a little change" to defray expenses. That

GUSKY'Si 3Q0 to
is one way in which successful opposition
is shown to actual settlers.
THEIK COMMON 'WORK.
But the way in which these white In
dians have coalesced and joined hands with
their copper-colored brethren in their com
mon business of doggintr bona fide pioneers
.is more to the point. Every frontiersman,
or nearly so, can vouch for tne truth of the
statement that many of the outbreaks among
the Indians havs been incited bv white
monopolists (chiefly cattlemen, sometimes
individuals, sometimes corporations, foreign
or home superinduced possiblv by con
tinual crowding of the "range" westward),
and it is a further fact that manv people
who went West (until within ten years past)
were "held up" on the prairies and com
pelled to retrace their steps under pain of
death by another class of hirelings known as
cowboys, whom the would-be lords compelled
to paint and dress themselves to personate
Indians; and it devolved upon these scare
crow fiends to frighten off honest men who
had in many instances traveled hundreds
and thousands of miles upon the representa
tion that comfortable homes were found free
and clear of incumbrances in that prairie
paradise.
Having endeavored to make it plain that
the practices of these red-faced savages, who
merely by cbance preceded us in the posses
sion of our beloved land, are foreign (as
much as anything can be) to that Christian
civilization of wnich our friend, Voorhees,
speaks, I desire to pay a parting salute to
our soldiers our standing army, I mean.
Would to heaven that it were mine to pre
sent every Eastern man (and woman, too)
with a microscope of sufficient length and
strength to look in upon the luxurious lay
outs of some of our troopers in some West-'
ern barracks, as they call them! Why, the
average inmate dreads the shadow of an In
dian, and, candidly, it would be hard to
draw the line between tbe two evils the
average "regular" and his mate, in many
ways, the Indian.
It would be a safe gues to say that we
still have enough "Old Vet. Vols." within
the lines of Pennsylvania to "wipe up the
earth" with both such evils. Would it not
rebound to the credit of our Congressmen
were they to keep more closely within range
these asylums of indolence' and extrava
gance the Western Indian reservations
and their neighboring United States mili
tary posts?
Let us have an' end of this boys'-play
policy in dealing with known enemies
within our borders. Respectlully,

Mr. Armour went for them the other day,

A. Armour are at a loss to know how they
disappeared. Mr. Armour made a loan to
a friend on some diamonds and when the
money was paid Mr. Armour gave him the

For Doubt.
THIS WEEK MR. K0EGER.
Mr. Benjamin Koeer, who lives at No.
33 Chestnut street, in a recent interview with
tbe writer, said: "For a lone time I had
been troubled with catarrh. It first came on
with a sore throat, which gave me great
trouble and Dain. I'treated with different
physicians; had my throat lanced by one,
but all without any permanent relief. In
fact, I grew rapidly worse all the time.
From my throat tbe disease extended all
through my system.
"My head and nose became clogged up.
Dull, heavy pains were continually tunning
through my head. The matter would droD
back into my throat, causing me to hawk
and raise to clear it, my throat continuing
raw and sore.
Mr. Benjamin JCoeger, iVo. S3 Cheitnut StrettK
-Alcglieny City.
'As my trouble advanced it affected my
stomach. Jly appetite tailed me. No Kind of
fond would agree with me, I would go to the
table feeling as if I could eat a nearly meal, hut
a few mouthsful would suffice me. What little I
did eat would cause me a miserable sensation
of distress and nansea immediately afterward.
I would catch cnld on tbe least exposure, and
each fresh cnld would-bring on chills that
would co all over me.
"This was about my condition, when, after
reading so much of Drs. Copcland & Blafrand
their notable success, I decided to try them,
for thnuch 1 am not a rich man by any means,
their charges were so very reasonable I felt 1
could easily afford it. All I pan say Is it seems
wonderful wnat these eminent specialists bare
done for me. 1 believe I am completely and
perminently cured. I am ready to vouch for
all 1 have said, and would advise anyone suffer
ing as I did to waste uo time in doubt and ex
periment, but go at once to Dr". Copcland k
Blair and be confident of" a positive cure."
Drs. Coxeland & Blair have their own labora
tory and their own pliarmarcist. whose whole
tune is devoted to preparing the medicines for
their many patients. Every precripticn is
compounded under the direct supervision of
the doctors themselves, which accounts to a
certain extent for the invariable positive re
sults of their treatment. To each and every
patient under their care Drs. Copeland & Blair
furnish all medicines free of charge.
Drs. Copeland & Blair are responsible to you
for what they represent; and are at all times
prepared to uphold their every assertion. Tbey
court honest, sincere Investigation, have no
secrets, and are only too glad to show.all inter
ested and candid people what tney are doing
