New Xoek, Dec 15. Join Mulhall,
Jr., a young Morrisiana real estate lawyer,
at 593 East .One Hundred and Sixty-first
street, shot himselr in the head last night at
his home. He studied law under ex-Judge
Hall from 18C9 to 1876. He was
an active politician and worked lor
Hcintz in the .last campaign. He took
supper with his family as usual last night
and then went to the bathroom. His wife
heard a pistol shot and found the bathroom
door locked. She ran across the street to
the home of her brother-in-law, and he
and a neighbor came in and forced the
door.
Mulhall was sitting against the side of the
bathtub, with a pistol in his hand, a wound
on his temple and a small looking glass
lying on the floor beside him. He was desd.
In the frame of the looking glass was
stuck a long and rambling letter. It
appeared that he was in the habit of lend
ing monev to a friend, who paid him good
iutercst, and had always returned the prin
cipal on demand until a few days ago. Then
Mulhall wanted some money, and asked for
it The friend said tbat he bad been caught
in "Wall street, and had lost 517,000 of Mul
ball's money.
The letter goes on to- say that Mulhall
could have stood his misfortune, but that
5,000 of the money belonged to
friends of his, and ' that he could
not stand the reflections that
would be cast on his name and
character when this should be found out.
He writes that he will not disclose the name
of his friend, but that the man
is a well-known and highly-respected
Eepublican, of whom 'such
a thing would never have been ex
pected. He says he relies on this friend
to make restitution to his family. He adds
that he has outstanding accounts enongh to
meet all his obligations, and. that he fears
that this trouble has affected his brain. He
leaves a wife and two daughters, aged 5 and
7 veare.
Judge Hall says that Mulhall must have
$10,000 due on outstanding accounts, Mul
hall's father lives in Mornsania, and was
superintendent of the bricklayers who built
the Tribune building.

His Mother Found on the Floor Dying
From the Effects of a Brutal Attack and
Her Tongue Almost Cut Off Tramps
Suspected.
ISFECIAt. TELIOKAM TO THS BISPATCn.1
Altooka, Dec 15. An account ot what
seems to have been a deliberate murder
reached here earlr this morning, when a
young man named Lewis came to the
city and ordered a coffin from an
undertaker, telling him his mother had died
on Saturday nightunder very suspicious
Circumstances.-' Th'e young man and bis
mother lived in an out-of-the-way place six
miles from the cltv, and made their living
by farming a small tract of mountain land.
On Saturday he came to the city to
make some purchases and did not return
till after dark. "When he entered
the house he heard a groan, and on
lighting a lamp found his mother
lying on the floor, her tace badly cut and
the back of her head bruised and bleeding.
She was still conscions, and when asked if
she had fallen down stairs, shook her head,
"no." She could not speak, her tongue be
ing almost cut in two. She soon after became
unconscious and died without regaining
consciousness. Everything indicated that
while the son was absent, the unfortunate
woman had been assaulted by tramps, proba
bly in tbe expectation of securing money.
Coronor Post did not hear of the matter
till this morning. He immediately pro
ceeded to tbe scene of the assault, and after
impaneling a jury, which viewed the re
mains, took testimony and then rendered a
verdict that the woman came to her death
from concussion of tbe brain, caused by
blows on tbe head inflicted by parties un
known to thejury.

Assignment? -
Philadelphia, Dec 15. Maris &
Smith, bankers and brokers, of No. 20
South Third street, this city, made an as
signment this afternoon for the benefit of
their creditors to Samuel B. Huey. The

ment against the firm on a noteTor $15,000
in favor of John M. Maris, father of Will
iam Maris, the senior member of tbe firm.
Assignee Huey said to-night that the
liabilities will probably exceed $300,000,
distributed among a number ot creditors.
There are several large debts ranging
from 20,000 to $51,000. Nothinc could be
learned as to assets of the firm. They
managed to meet all of their engagements at
the Stock Exchange up to the closing hour,
and the assignment was not an
nounced until after the closing hour.
The firm has been gradually reducing its
deals at the Exchange for some time past
and its liabilities there are small.
W. H. Smith, the junior partner, said to
day that he thought matters would be ar
ranged for the firm to continue. He stated
that the failure was due to the general
shrinkage in valnes.

T)rmT.ir "no in Pornoll slent last
night at TJrlingford, whence he drove this 1
morning to Bathdowney. Davitt and Tan
ner also started for Bathdowney, with the
avowed intention of confronting Par
nell publicly. Messrs. Harrison O'Kel
ley, Edward Harrington and Joseph
Nolan, members of Parliament, joined
Parnell at the Odessa Hotel. Here
a deputation of tenantry farmers
from the Aghadoe, Galway, branch of the
League, presented an a'ddress, declaring
confidence in Parnell. In expressing Jus
thanks for the address, Parnell said he re
joiced to see so many Bterling- farmers
among the people rallying around him. It
was au assurance that Irishmen never more
would submit to English dictation. Th'e
seal of Kilkenny would be put npon his 16
years work. Cheers. J
Lively Meetings of Both Parties.
Harrison then addressed the deputation.
He said he regretted that the Irish members
of Parliament opposing Mr. Parnell had
descended to the foul abuse of London
music halls, hurling a woman's name at
their former leader. Cries of "Shame,"
and "Dirty Tim Healy." It was unmanly,
ungenerous and un-Trish. Cheers.
During the meeting at the hotel Messrs.
Davitt and Tanner arrived and began to
speak from wagons in the mirket square.
Several hundred persons were grouped
around Tanner, who in his speech said that
the Irish party could not white
wash Mr. Parnell. Proceeding in.
his address, he complained of his
old leader calling the seceders "Gutter
sparrows." Then stopping suddenly and
pointing to Parnell, who was leaving the
hotel in a carriage and driving off, he
shouted: "He is clearing out now "
"Taljyho, the fox has got awayl"
No Cheers for Parnell.
This sally was greeted with roars of
laughter and cheers. Parnell and party,
avoiding Market square, managed to effect
their departure without any collision of the
factions. As they were passing through the
village of Durrow, a crowd of peasants gave
cheers for "William O'Brien, whereupon Mr.
Harrington called for cheers for Dillon.
They were freely given, but there was no
response to his call for cheers for Parnell.
At all the masses in the Franciscan
Cbnrch, in Ennis yesterday, Parnell was
vehemently denounced by tne (priests, on
both moral and political grounds. A num
ber of persons in consequence of this
quitted the church. The priestat the pro
cathedral abstained making any comments
on the case. The clergymen in Galway
called a meeting to-day to denounce Par
nell, but their project was spoiled by the
supporters and friends of Parnell, who
filled the hall, took possession of the plat
form and ran tbemeetingto suit themselves.
They passed resolntions calling on Mr.
Jinkerton, M. P. for the borough, to resign.
Parnell's Portraits Are Banished.
At a church meeting in opposition to
Parnell, called by the Dean ot Cloyne, a.
resolution was passed declaring tbat they
had no confidence in Mr. Parnell, and
ordering that all his portraits or pictures in
possession of the.people there should be de
stroyed. During the celebration of massatKilkay
sart yesterday Father Gillian) the officiating
priest, took occasion to denounce Parnell in
verjt strong tenns.WhileiiE-BTis speaking
the whole congregation arose and left the
church. A meeting was then organized by
the parishioners outside the church, and a
vote of confidence in Parnell was unani
mously adopted.
The following dispatch was sent by Justin
McCarthy to John Dillon, through the
Dunlap Agency: -
In view of the need ot tbe evicted tenants I
suggest that you publicly state that tbe funds
now, and until further notice, collected in
America may be sent for distribution by some
reliable body in Ireland, independent ot the
iiish party and Mr. Parnell's friends.
To this Mr. Dillon replied, also through
the same agency:
I am sending out a circular signed by all tbe
delegates, '-including Mr. Harrington, urging
the treasurers to send funds to Mr. Webb and
11 r. Kenny for the support of the evicted ten
ants. Mr. Harrington returns pledged to see
the money nsed for this purpose only.

WHAT JOHN DILLON SAYS.
HIS VIEWS UPON THE LATEST PHASE OF
THE IRISH IMBROGLIO.
While Strongly Opposed to Any Personal
Attacks Upon Parnell He Wants the
People to Give Expression to Their Opin
ions Without Fear.
New York, Dec. 15. John Dillon has
not been inactive since his two col
leagues sailed last Saturday morning. He
has prepared and given to the press a state
ment as to the more recent events in Ireland,
in which he says:
"In the miserable quarrel now going on in
Ireland, my main object has been from the
outset to induce both sides to abstain from
all bitterness of language which might
render it difficult for us to fight together in
tbe future as comrades against the union of
Ireland as we have done for the past ten
years. And with this view I used any in
fluence I possessed to prevent the war being
carried into Ireland until all possible means
of bringing about a compromise had been
abandoned. The Kilkenny election had
been precipitated, and I am strongly opposed
to any personally offensive attacks on Mr.
Parnell.
"In other words, Mr. Parnell invites the
people to abandon the policy by which he
has led them for the last ten years, and to
adopt a policy which must end in insur
rection, it it end in anything. I believe
that this new policy means the destruction
of all the work of the last ten-years.
"Now that Mr. Parnell has insisted on
challenging public opinion in Ireland, X
trust the Irish people will let their opinion
be known in no uncertain fashion. If they
declare for Parnell's leadership they must
do so on the platform of his manifesto and
his speeches at Dublin and Cork, and that
would mean a definite end for our time to
all hope of winning home rule through the
good will of the English people. And
there is only one other wayof winning that
is by fighting for it.
"Some of the language in Ireland on both
sides, disgusting and humiliating to every
true friend of Ireland, is only calculated to
divert the minds of the people from the
true issne before them. That issue is not a
personal one, bnt it is a question
of public policy, and it is exceed
ingly simple whethpr, if Mr. Parnell
persists in refusing to retire from the leader
ship, the Tory party will win at the general
election, by snch a majority as will condemn
Ireland to another seven years of coercion,
and destroy all hope of gaining home rule
by Parliamentary action in onr time. This
and this alone is the question which tbe
Irish people have to consider.
"Now that this horrible struggle has been
forced upon our people, I would earnestly
appeal to all my friends in Ireland, lwhile
fighting strenuously for the right, and for
tbe safety of our cause not to allow any prov
ocation, no matter how great, to betray them
intb forgetting the mighty work which Mr.
Parnell in the past has done for Ireland
and the respect which, in spite of bis pres
ent action is due to him, who, for ten years
and up to three weeks ago was the leader of
our race, and one of the formost figures of
Enropean politics."
MORE WAGES WANTED.
Engineers and Firemen on the St, Paul
Prefer Their Demands. ,
MnWAUKEE, Dec. 15. A demand for an
increase of wages has been made by all the
locomotive engineers and firemen employed
on the St Paul road, and the demand
is accompanied by an intimation of
a strike in the event of the company's
refusal to grant the desired increase. The
demand was ma'de upon General Manager
Earling at Chicago, and very little
conld be learned at the Milwaukee
offices of the road, as General Su
perintendent Collins is .out of the
citv. No answer 'has been made to the men,
but it is thought tbat in the present unset
tled condition of railways, their chances of
getting an advance in pay are not very
good.
It is claimed by the company that the
engineers and firemen are already paid as
well as those in the employ of other rail
roads. The engineers are paid at the rate
of 3 and 7-10 cents per mile and 100 miles
constitutes a day's run, so that an
engineer earns on an average of 53 70
a das'. "When l an engineer has a
ten-wheel locomotive he is paid.15 cents a
day oxtra. The average pay of a fireman is
$2 20 per day. There are employed on the
St. Paul system about 1,060 engineers and
neatly the same number of firemen.
Officers of the company nt Chicago say
that no snch demands have been made npon
them, ,
BANKER MEAD'S MURDER.
An Important Witness Secured to Testify
Against Tab Pryor.
Waupaca, Wis., Dec 15. Officers,
who have been at work securing evidence
to be used at the examination ot Tab Pryor,
charged with the murder of Banker Mead,

Sherman, who, it is said, will prove(an im
portant witness against Pryor and others,
whose names as yet are only connected with
the mnrder by rumor.

place, and it is said that he will testify that
Pryor and two other men came to the barn
on the night of the mnrder; that their hands
were bloody, and that they had a bundle
whicn was -afterward ,sunk in the lake.
Other arrests are expected to follow.

Witness recommended him because he was
competent Witness objected to Mr. Coop
er's question of salary he paid Whelpley,
but when Mr. Sawyer, the atting chairman,
said he sayr no harm in it, witness answered
51,500 and some compensation for extra
work.
Denying a Statement of Cooper's.
Mr. Lemon said that irr the record was Mr.
Cooper's declaration that "the consequence
ot the completed files order is that it has
naturally operated as a private order for the
benefit of the man who procured its making.
Of the 30 test cases submi tted by Mr. Lemon,
the evidence shows only 15 per cent of them
were completed in fact" He (Mr. Lemon)
wanted to say thnt that statement did him a
great injury and was untrue. Of these
cases, only two needed further information
.to be supplied by the attorneys. Thirteen
others were not altogether complete, but
tbat was because information .was needed,
which only the Pension Bureau could supply-
To Mr. Cooper, witness said he haa never
indorsed anv note lor Baum, except one for
512,000 in the Bank of the Bepublic
Question "Did you indorse paper for
him in the Citizens' Bank?"
"Never."
"Did he not'get money there at your pro
curement?" "No sir, he got money there on the in
dorsement of some of the strongest men in
the country."
A Question of Financial Influence.
Mr. Cooper asked further questions about
Gen. Eaum's financial relations with the
Citizens' Bank.
Mr. Lemon said he was a director in the
bank. Gen. Baum had been a depositor
there for years and he did not think he
ought to answer these questions.
Mr. Goodnight As an officer of that
bank did you influence the 'bank officers to
get the money?
Mr. Lemon Not at all, I think most
of the indorsements were obtained when I
was not present I never influenced the
bank officers in any way.
Mr. Cooper asked how much of General
Bauni's paper bad been discounted, when,
and on whose indorsements. The questions
Mr. Lemon emphatically declined to answer,
on the ground that it was none of Mr. Coop
er's business, or the business of the commit
tee. If the Chairman so rnled, be wonld
answer, but not otherwise.
Mr. Flick thought the questions improper,
andMr. Sawyer said he' thought any bank
officer would hesitate to answer such ques
tions. If there was any " claim tbat Mr.
Lemon had indorsed General Eaum's paper,
or in fluenced the matter as a bank director,
he thought the questions proper.
Relations Between Iiaom and lemon.
Mr. Cooper said one of the important
issues of the investigation was the financial
relations between Banm and Lemon. The
Commissioner had said emphatically he had
secured Lemon's indorsement to but one
note of 512,000, discounted by the Bank of
the Bepublic. Now, money niignt have
been secured indirectly, which would be
jnst as satisfactory. The witness had stated
that be had not' influenced the securiug of
money by General Baum, but he (Mr.
Cooper) insisted he was not bound to take
the ipse dixit of the witness as proof that
this was so.
Mr. Lemon several times stated that the
bare mention of the names of 'the indorsers
would carry the conviction that his influ
ence was not needed.
Mr. Goodnight said those names which
witness insisted were so good were what was
wanted. In response to farther questions
Mr. Lemon stated emphatically thatGen
eral Baum never came to him to gethis in
fluence to secure the discounting of any
paper. The various questions about those
financial transactions raised a little breeze
all around, which finally subsided when
Mr. Sawyer suggested that the line ot in
quiry be postponed until the whole commit
tee could pass on the matter.
Testimony of Former Clerks.
A. S. Taber, for 12 -years one of Mr.
Lemon's principal employes, stated that it
was a rule of Mr. Lemon's that no clerk
should be recommended for a place in the
Pension Office. 'Mr. Lemon bad.said he
thought it improper, and witness'had never
done such a thing.
Edward Benaud, a former clerk in the
Pension Office, who was dismissed by Com
missioner Baum, after the publication of
articles criticizing the management of the
Pension Office in the New York Tribune,
was called to the stand an d asked if he had
written or inspired publications charging
the Commissioner with intimidating clerks
from making adverse comments on the man
agement of the office by threats of dismissal.
Witness declined to answer on the
ground that General Banm had made scur
rilous and libelous statements nffectmg
witness' personal character and party
loyalty, and suit for damages had been en
tered. Any auswers made now might
prematurely disclose matters involved, in
witness' libel suit.
light on McGUlcy's Statement.
Thomas Cocker, of Illinois, an employe
in tbe Land Office, was questioned with re
spect to a statement alleged to have been
made by his son that McGillev, a clerk in
the Pension Office, had said he owned re
frigerator stock and expected to get pro
moted. Witness" recollection of the con
versation was pot very distinct;
but he said the impression his son left on him
was that there might have been a mistake,
and Mr. McGillev subsequently said it was
real estate and no't refrigerator stock. Wit
ness met GeneraL. Baum on the street one
day and mentioned the matter to him. Gen
eral Baum said it was absolutely false that
any Pension 'Office clerk had refrigerator
stock.
General Baum said he had never said
that clerks must make affidavit that they
had no stock. "
Mr. Cooper wanted to knowif bis son had
been an applicant for a place in the Pension
pffice. "Witness responded in the affirma
tive, and added that he did not get the
place.

engaged in. I also found that tbe active mem
bers in the dance were not more than half tbe

It is losing ground among tbe Indians, and
while there are many who are half believers, 1
am fully satisfied tbat 1 can keep the dance

Desiring to use every reasonable means to
bring Sitting Bull and bis followers to abandon

The Time for Radical Measures.
From close observation I am convinced tbat

all Indians living on Grand river be notified

such a course wonld settle tbe Messiah craze at

Sitting Bull without tronble and with but little

IN HANDS OF A BECEIVEB.
TheLorlllard Brick Works Fall for Folly a
Million Dollars.
New Yoek, Dec. 15. The Lorillard
Brick Works Company, of this city and
Keyport, N. J., has been placed in the
hands of a receiver, Charles Seidler. The
company has, it is said, been carrying a
large amount of real estate and builders,
paper, tbe latter estimated at over $200,000,
and were short of read v cash.
The brick works at Keyport were said to
be the .most complete of the kind in tbe
"United States. They were started by Jacob
Lorillard about four years ago, who spent a
large amount of money in improving and
extending them. In October, 1888, the
present company was incorporated under
New Jersey laws with a capital stock
of $600,000 and bonds of $335,000, all
of which were issued by Jacob Lorillard for
the Keyport property, which he turned over
to the company at a valuation of $935,000,
the property representing a total cost of
$750,000.
Jacob Lorillard was President of the com
pany and B. C. Guyer, Secretary and Treas
urer. Tbe liabilities of the company are
not generally known but aie reported to
amount to upwards of $1,000,000, which in
cludes mortgages on the property for $687.
000. Assignee Seidler says the assets
amount to $1,500,000, which is enough to
pay every debt, and leaves a large surplus
for Mr. Lorillard. The business will be con
tinued by the assignee.
CABBIEB PIGEONS IN MIMIC WAR,
The Sham Attack on the French Port of
Toulon Arranged by Them.
PU-Mall Budget.
Carrier pigeons have onoe again vindi
cated their right to the doubtful advantage
(from their own point of view) of being em
ployed as messengers in war even in the
naval war. In the French fleet, at the re
cent maneuvers in the Mediter
ranean, pigeons were sent from
training ship, ironclad, and torpedo.
The attack on the port of Toulon was
really ordered and arranged by these
winged messengers, who do not suffer from
"battle fever" even in the very thick of the
storm, and are placidlv practical among the
roar of tbe cannon and the smell of powder.
A curious little novelty by which the ar
rival of the first of the flight of pigeons is
signaled has been successfully introduced
at the maneuvers. As soon as the bird
alights on its cot, an electric bell gives the
alarm, the door of the cot is closed, and
the cypher message is taken from nnder tbe
wing of the bird.
Extra Leaves in Books.
A recent device for sewing extra leaves in
books is made in the form oi a strip adapted
to befitted on the book back, with loops at its
opposite ends; a series of supplemental
sheets to be inserted in the book are folded
centrally, and placed between the leaves.
A continuous thread or filament is secured
to one of the loop's, passed through the fold
of one supplementary sheet, and then
through the opposite loop and so on, until
all the extra sheets are fastened securely.
After this, all that is necessary to secure the
proper finish of the book is to see that the
leaf edges are uniformly trimmed.
Food Preservatives and Adulteration.
Many authoritative disclaimers have been
recently made against the indiscriminate
use oi snch perservatives as borax, boric
acid and salicylic acid, more, especially as
applied to milk, cream, beer and other arti
cles of food and drink. Their actual injur!
ousness is not asserted, but In many cases it
is believed that their function can be per
formed better and more safely by refrigera
tion. , DIED.

The Canal Commission In Collusion
v the Standard Oil Co.,
With
ASD CAMPBELL IS ST1RKED IP
rSFXCIAL TELEdBAH TO THE DISPATCH. t
Columbus, O., Dec 15. It is reported
at the State House to-day that Governor
Campbell will institute an investigation
of the State Canal Commis
sion. The grounds on which the
investigation will be called for
will be the sensational rumors concerning
certain members of the commission, to the
effect tbat they are acting in collusion with
the Standard Oil Company in the leasing of
State land in Mercer and Auglaize counties.
Bepresentatives of the Standard Oil Com
pany have leased much of their land about
the St Mary s reservoir at a very low figure,
and thjis. " coupled with the reports
which have originated therefrom, will
prompt the TJJovernor to probe the
matter to the bottom. It is not
improbable that certain members of the
commission, and possibly all of tbem, will
be asked to resign, as there is a quarrel of
no small proportion among them. Those
familiar with the situation in tbe
commission state " that the bad
feeling among the members is of
such an aggravated nature that the business
of the State is being retarded in conse
quence They even go so far ar to say
'things have come to snch a pass that the
business of the commission is practically at
a standstill.
In this connection it develops that the
State Board of Public Works and the Canal
Commission are at swords points. A jealousy
has always existed between tbe two boards,
and of late the consequent breach has grown
much greater. They have refused to act
with any degree ot harmony, and the leasing
ot large'tracts of lands is subjected to much
unnecessary delay, because of the petty
jealousies existing.
Governor Campbell when asked" pbout
the probable investigation, would not say
definitely what course would be pursued,
but said he had joined witn two members of
the commission in a communication to the
Land Department at Washington, for infor
mation bearing on the subject.
DRAWING THEIR LINES TIGHTER.
Switchmen Hold a Big Mass-Meeting Com

wonld leave for Columbus and Denniston
immediately, the return trip includ
ing Bellaire and Wheeling. An
other committee will also leave for
Connellsville and McKeesport The object
of the visiting committees is to settle some
points that were not thought of in giving
instructions to the visiting delegates. A
committee from Philadelphia Lodge 73 will
reach the city at 7:30 this evening.
It is expected that tne visiting committee
men will all have returned by this evening
or word be received from them by
wire. A monster mass meeting will
then be held in the evening and the course
of action decided on.
It was stated that the constitutional
conrse laid down by the laws of the associa
tion to govern matters of grievances and
strikes has now been followed.
The grand officers of the lodges have been
corresponded with by wire and everything
gotten in shape for a speedy settlement or
protracted contest involving not only the
Baltimore and Ohio lines but all of those
centering in Pittsburg.
The nature of the grievances to be pre
sented to tbe company could not be learned,
but it is understood tbat the list includes
several not made public and contains other
points than those regarding the discharge of
the three switchmen and the shanty episode.

With Hundreds of Witnesses Testify
ing, Who Can Doubt That Drs.
Copeland and Blair Are the
People to Cure Catarrh?
Nearly everyone in this part of the country
is more or less acquainted with the great
National Tube Works, or as it is often called
tbe New Butt Mill. It is probably tbe heaviest
Industry in this section, employing from four
to five thousand men. It is from among this
multitude of workers that the subject of ths
following sketch is taken Mr. Peter Elder, a
tester. In a recent interview with Mr. Elder,
among other things be spoke very enthusiastic
ally of bis recent successful treatment with
Drs. Copeland and Blair for an aggravated
catarrhal trouble.
Mr. Peter Elder, MeKeexport, Pa.
In concluding. Mr. Elder said: "Mytroublo
had existed In bad form for abont four years;
ever since 1 recovered from an attack of
typhoid fever. My head and nose were stopped
np. I had very severe headaches over the eyes
and through the temples. There was a con
stant bnzzmg and roaring in my eirs. An ag
gravating congh bothered me. Tbe matter
wonld drop back into my throat, causing me to
hawk and raise to clear It. My worst tronble.
though, was iu my stomach. My appetite was
anvthlcg but regnlar. After eating I would
Buffer horribly, and especially at night when I
wonld lie down, with a miserable distress at my
stomach a3 if a hand were inside gripping and
drawing me all up in a knot, then letting go
again, when I would feel faint and dizzy. This
misery kept me awake nights, and I would get
up in the morning all worn ont,
"Under the treatment of Drs. Copeland and
Blair I improved rapidly, my symptoms leaving
me, until to-day I am like a different man en
tirely, and 1 shall be glad to recommend Drs.
Copeland and Blair to all afflicted as I was."
