THE KING'S SWEETHEART;
OH, ADVENTURES IN SEARCH OF A PHOTOGRAPH.
BY COJTAN DOYLK.
To Sherlock Holmes she is always the
woman. It was not that he felt any emo
tion akin to love for Irene Adler. All
emotions, and that one particularly, were
abhorrent to his cold, precise, bui admira
bly balanced mind.
I had seen liitle of Holmes lalely. Jly
marriage had drifted us away lrom each j
oilier.
One night it was on the 20th of March,
188b luas returning lrom a journey to a
patient (for I had now returned to civil
practice), when mv way led me through
Baker Etreet. An I passed the -well-remembered
door, which must always be as
sociated in my mind with my wooing, and
with ihe dark incidents of the study in
scarlet. I was seized with a keen desire to
see Holmes again.
I rang the bell, and was shown upto the
chamber which had formerly been in part
my own.
His manner was not eHusive. It seldom
was: but be was glad, I think, to see me.
"Wedlock suits you," he remarked. "I
think, AVatsoii, that you have put on seven
and one-half pounds since I saw you."
"Seven." I answered.
"Indeed, I should have thought a little
more Just a trifle more, I fancy, "Watson.
And in practice arain, I observe. Yondid
not tell me that j ou intended to go into
harness."
"Then how do you know''"
"I see it; I deduce it. How do I know
that you hae baen getting yourself very
wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy
and careless servant girl?"
I could not help laughing at the case
with which he explained his proces of de
duction.
"By the way." be said, "since you are in
terested in thi-se little problem', and since
you are good enough to chronicle one or
two of my trifling "experiences, you may be
interested in this."
He threw over a sheet of thick pink
tinted note paper which had been lying
open upon the table. "It came by the last
pot." said he. "Read it aloud "
The note was undated and without either
signature or address.
"There will call upon you to-night, at
7:4" o'clock," it said, "a gentleman who de
sires io consult you upon a matter of the
rcrv deepest moment. Your recent services
to ore ot the royal house" of Kurope have
hon n that you are one who may safely be
trusted with matters which are of an im
portance which can hardly be exaggerated.
This, account of vou we have from all quar
ters received. He in your chamber then at
that hour, and do not take it amiss if your
visitor wear a mask."
"This is indeed a mystery." I remarked
"What do you imagine that'it means"'"
As I spoke there was the sharp sound ot
horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the
curb, follow ed by a sharp pull at the belL
Holmes whistled.
"A pair, by the sound," said he. ''Yes,"
he continued", glancing out of the window,
"a n'ce little brougham and a pair of
beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas
apiece. There's money in this case, Wat
ton, if there is nothing else."
A slow and heavv step, which bad been
heard upon th" stairs and in the passage,
paused immediately outside the door. Then
there was a loud and authoritative tap.
"Come inl" said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have
been less than ( feet C inches in height, with
the chest and limbs of a Hercules.
He carried a broad-brimmed bat in his
band, while he wore across the upper part
nf his face, extending down past the cheek
bone-, a black vizard mask, which he had
apparently adjusted that very moment, for
Ins hand was still raided to itas he entered,
"You had m note?"hea!ked.withadeep,
bar-h voice and a strongly marked German
accent
"Pray take a seat," said Holmes. "This
ig my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson,
whois occasionally good enough to help me
in mv cases. Whom have I the honor to
address?"
"You may address me as Count Von
Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I under
stand that this gentleman, your friend, is a
mail of honor and discretion, whom I may
trust with a matter of the most extreme im
portance. If not, I should much prefer to
communicate with you alone."
"Yoa raav say before this gentleman any
thing which jou may sav to me."
"Th:n I must begin," said he, "by bind
ing you both to absolute secrecy for two
years, at the end of that time the matter
will be of no importance. To speak plainly,
the matter implicates the gre?t House of
Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia."
"I was also aware of that," murmured
Holmes, settling himself down in his arm
chair and closing his eyes. "If your majesty
would condescend to state your case," he
remarked, "I should bebetterable to advise
you."
The roan sprang from his chair and paced
p and down the room in uncontrollable
agitation. Then, with a gesture of despera
tion, he tore the mask lrom his face and
hurled it upon the ground
"You arc rieht,"he cried; "I am the
King. Why should I attempt to conceal
:t? I have come incognito lrom Prague
far the purpose of consulting you."
"Then, pray consult," said Holmes, shut
tins his eves once more.
"The facts arc briefly these Some five
years ago, during a lengthy visit to War
saw, I made the acquaintance of the well
known ad enturess Irene Adler. The name
is no doubt familiar to you."
"Kindly look her up in my index, doc
tor," murmured Holmes, without opening
his eyes. For many years he had adopted a
system of docketing all paragraphs concern
ing men and things, so that it was difficult
to name a subject or a person on which he
could nit at once furnish information.
In this case I found her biography sand
wiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi
and that of a staff commander who had
written a monograph upon the deep sea
iishes.
"Let me see?" said Holmes. "Hum!
Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Con

"Precisely so. But how "
"Was there a secret marriage?"
"None."
"If o legal papers or certificates""
"None."
"Then I fail to follow Your Majesty. Jq

"Mv own seal."
"Imitated."
"Mv photograph."
"Bought."
"We were both in the phoiosraph."
"Oh, dear! That is very badl Year Majes
ty has indeed committed an indiscretion."
" "I was mad insane."
"You have compromised yourself seri
ously." "I was onlv crown prince then. Inai
youug. I ara but 30 now, and I am about to
be married."
"So I have heard."
'To Ciotildo Lothman von Saxc-Menin-pen,
second daughter of the King of Scan
dinavia. You may know the strict princi
ples of her family. She is herself the very
soul of delicacy. A shadow of doubt as to
mv conduct would bring the matter to an
nd."
"And Irene Adler?"
"Threatens to send them the photograph.
And she will do it. I know that she will do
it- You do not know her, but she has a soul
of steel. She has ihc face of the most beau
tiful of women, and the mind of the mpst
resolute of men. Rather than I should
marrv another woman, there are no lengths
to which she would not go none."
"And mademoiselle's address?" he asked.
"Is Brionv Lodge, Serpentine avenue, St.
John's Wood.''
Holmes took a note of it. "One other
question," said he. "Was the photograph
a cabinet?"
"It was."
At 3 o'clock precisely I was at Baker
street, but Holmes had not yet returned. I
sat down before the fire, however, with the
intention of awaiting him, however long he
mignt be.
It was close upon 4 before the door opened
and a drunken-looking groom, ill-kempt and
side-whiskered, with an inflamed face and
disreputable clothes, walked in the room.
Accustomed as I was to my friend's amaying
powers in the use of disguises, I had to look
three times before I was certain that it was
indeed he.
With a nod he vanished into the bed
room, whence he emerged in five minutes
tweed-suited and respectable as of old.
Putting his hands into his pockets, he
stretched out his legs in front of the fire and
lauerhed heartily for some minutes.
"I left the house a little after 8 o'clock
this morning," he said, "in the character of
a groom out of work. I soon found Bnony
Lodge.
'I lent the ostlersahand in rubbing down
their horses. "
"And what of Irene Adler?" I asked.
"Oh, she has turned all the men's heads
down in that part. Has only one male vis
itor, but a good deal of him. He is dark,
handsome and dashing; never calls less
than once a day, and often twice. He is a
Mr. Godfrey Norton of the inner temple.
This Godfrey Norton was evidently an im
portant factor in the matter. lie was a
lawyer.
"t was balancing the matter in mv mind
when a hansom cab drove up to Briony
Lodge, and a gentleman sprang out. He
was a remarkably handsome man, dark,
aquiline and mustached evidently the man
of whom I had heard. He appeared to be
in a great hurry, shouted to the cabman to
wait, and brushed past the maid who opened
the door with the air of a man who was
thoroughly at home.
"He was in the house about half an
hour, and I could catch glimpses of him, in
the w indows of the sitting room, pacing up
and down, talking excitedly and waving
his arms.
"Of her I could see nothing. Presently
he emerged, looking even more flurried than
before. As he stepped up to the cab he
pulled a gold watch from his pocket and
looked at it earnestly.
" 'Drive like the devil,' he shouted,
'first to Gross & Hankey's in Regent street,
and then to the Church of St. Monica in the
Edgw are road. Half a guinea if you do it
in 20 minutei!'
"Away they went, and I was just wonder
ing whether I should not do well to follow
them, when up the lane came a neat little
landau, the coachman with his coat only
half buttoned, and bis tic under his ear,
while all the tags of his harness were stick
ing out of the buckle.
"It hadn't pulled up before she shot out
of the hall door and into it. I only caught
a glimpse ofheratthe moment, but he was
a lovely woman, with a face that a man
might die for.
" 'The Church of St. Monica, John,' she
cried, 'and half a sovereign if you reach it
in 20 minutes.'
" This was quite too good to lose, Wat
son. I was just balancingwhether I should
run for it, or whetherl should perch behind
liPr laniau, when a cab came through the
street-3. The driver looked twice at such a
shabbjr tare, but I jumped in before he
could "object.
" "The Crureh of St Monica,' said I, 'and
half a sovereign if you reach it in 20
minutes.' It was 25 minutes to 12, and of
course it was clear enough what was in the
wind.
"My cabbv drove fast I don't think I
ever drove faster, but the others were there
before us. The cab and the landau with
their steaming horses were in front of the
door when I arrived. I paid the man and
hurried into the church.
"There was not a soul there save the two
whom I had followed and a surpliced cler
gyman, whom seemed to be expostulating
with then. They were all three standing
in a knot in front of the altar. I lounged
up the side aisle like any other idler who
has dropped into a church.
"Suddenly, to my surprise, the three at
the altar faced round to me, and Godfrey
Norton came running as hard as he could
toward me.
" 'Thank God,' he cried. TTon'll do.
Come! Come''
"'What then?' I asked.
" 'Come, man, come; only three minutes or
it won't be legal.'
"I was half dragged up to the altar, and
before I knew where I was I found myself
mumbling responses which were whispered
in my ear and vouching for things of which
I knew nothing, and generally assisting in
the secure tying up of Irene Adler, spinster,
to Godfrey Norton, bachelor.
"It was all done in an instant, and there
was the gentleman thanking me on the one
side and the lady on the other, while the
clergyman beamed on me in front It was
the most preposterous position in which I
ever found myself in my life, and it was the
thought of it that started me laughing just
now.
"It seems that there had been .some in
form ility about their license, that the
clergyman absolutely refused to marrv them
without a witness of some sort, and that my
lucky appearance saved the bridegroom
from having to sally out into tbe streets in
search of a best man. The bride gave me a
sovereign, and I mean to wear it on my
watch chain in memory of the occasion.
"At the church door they separated, he
driving back to the.Temple and she to her
own house. 'I shall drive out in the park at
5,' as usual, she said as she left him. I heard
no more.
"They drove away in different directions,
and I went off to make my own arrange
ments." "Now," he said, "Miss Irene, ormadame,
rather, returns from her drive at 7. We
must be at Briony Lodge to meet her."
"And what then?"
"You must leave that to me."
He disappeared into his bedroom, and re
turned in a few minutes in. the character of
an amiable and simple-hearted Nonconfor
mist clergyman
It was 0:15 when we left Baker street,
and it still wanted 10 minutes to the hour
when we found ourselves in Serpentine
avenue.
It was already du'k, and the lamps were
I just being lighted as we paced up and down
t in front of Briony Lodge, waiting for the
coming oi its occupant.
soon the gleam of the sidelights of a car
riage came around the curve ot the avenue.
It was a smart little landau which rattled
tip to the dcor of Briony Lodge.
As it pulled up one of the loafing men
at the corner dashed forward to open the
door in the hope of earning a copper, but
was elbowed away by another loafer, who
h.ul rushed up w ith the same intention.
A fierce quarrel broke out, which was in
cr aed by the two guardsmen, who took
sides with one of the loungers, and bv the
scissors grinder, who was equally hotupon
the other side
A blow was struck, and in an instant the
lady, who had stepped from her carriage,
was the center of a little knot of flushed
and struggling men who struck savagely at
each other with their fists and sticks.
Holmes dashed into the crowd to pro
tect the lady, but just as he reached her
he gave a cry and dropped to the groand,
with the blood running freely down his
face.
At his fall the guardsmen took to their
heels in one direction and the loungers in
the other, while a number of better
dressed people who hod watched the scuffle i
without taking part in it, crowded in to
help the lady and to attend to the injured
man.
Irene Adler, as I will still call her, had
hurried up the steps: bnt she stood at the
top with her superb figure outlined against
the lights of the hall, looking back into the
street
"Is the poor gentleman much hurt?" she
asked.
"He is dead," cried several voices.
"No, no, there's life in him," sbouted
another. "But he'll be gone before youcan
get him to a hospital."
"He's a brave fellow," said a woman.
"They would have had the lady's purse and
watch if it hadn't been for him. They were
aganfV and a rough one, too. Ah! he's
breathing now."
"He can't lie in the street. May vy bring
him in, marm?"
"Surely. Bring him into the sitting
room. There is a comfortable sofa there.
This way, please."
Slowly and solemnly he was borne into
Briony Lodge, and laid out in the principal
room, while I observed the proceedings
from mv post bv the window.
I took asmoke-rocket from under my
ulster.
Holmes had sat up upon the couch, and I
saw him motion like a man who is in need
of air. A maid rushed across and threw
open the window. At the same instant I
saw him raise his hand, and at the signal I
tossed mv rocket into the room with a cry
of "Fire.
The word was no sooner out of my mouth
than the whole crowd of spectators, well
dressed and ill gentlemen, ostlers and
servant maids joined in a general shriek of
"Fire."
Thick clouds of smoke curled through the
room and out at the open window. I
caught a glimpse of rushing figures, and a
moment later the voice of Holmes from
within, assuring them that it was a false
alarm.
Slipping through the shouting crowd I
made my way to the corner of the street
and in ten minues was rejoiced to findt my
friend's arm in mine and to get away from
the scene of uproar.
He walked swiftly and in silence for some
few minutes, until we had turned down one
of the quiet streets which leads toward the
Edgware road.
"You did it very nicely, doctor," he re
marked. "Nothing could have been better.
It is all right."
"You have the photograph?"
"I know where it is."
"And how did you find out?"
"She showed me, as I told you that she
would."
"You of course saw that every one in the
street w as an accomplice. They were all
engaged for the evening."
"I guessed as much."
"Then w hen the row broke out I had a
little moist red paint in the palm ot my
hand. I rushed forward, fell down, clapped
my hand to my face and became a piteous
spectacle. It'is an old trick."
"That also I could fathom."
"Then they carried me in. She was
bound to have me in. What else could she
do? And into her sitting room, which was
the very room which I suspected. It lay
between that and her bedroom, and I was
determined to see which. They laid me on a
couch, I motioned for air, they were com
pelled to open the window, and you had
your chance.
"When a woman thinks that her house is
on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the
thing which she values most.
"Irene responded beautifully. The photo
graph is in a recess behind a sliding panel
just aba ve the right bell pull. She was
there in an instant, and I caught a glimpse
of it as she half drew it out When I cried
out that it was a false alarm, she replaced
it, glanced at the rocket, rushed from the
room, and I have not seen her since.
"I rose, and making my excuses, escaped
from the house. I hesitated whether to at
tempt to secure the photograph at once; but
the coachman had come in, and, as he was
watching me narrowly, it seemed safer to
wait A little over-precipitance may ruin
all, and it might be a satisfaction to His
Majesty to regain it with his own hands."
We had reached Baker street and had
stopped at the door. He was searching his
pocketB for the key, when someone passing
said:
"Good night, Mr. Sherlock Holmes."
"I've heard that voice before," said
Holmes, staring down the dimly-lit street.
"Now, I wonder w ho the deuce that could
have been."
I slept at Baker street that night, and we
were engaged upon our toast and coffee in
the morning wtien the King of Bohemia
rushed into the room.
"You have really got it!" he cried, grasp
ing Sherlock Holmes by either shoulder,
and looking eagerly into his face.
"Not yet"
"But you have hopes?"
"I have hopes."
"Then, come. I am all impatience to be
gone."
"We must have a cab."
"No, my brongham is waiting."
"Then that will simplify matters."
We descended, and started ofT once more

Holmes.

with her husband by the 5:15 train from
Charing Cross for the continent"
"What'" Sherlock Holmes staggered
back, white with chagrin and surprise.
"Do vou mean that she has left England?"
"Never to return."
"And the papers?" asked the King,
hoarsely. "All is lost."
"We shall see." Holmes pushed past
the servant and rushed into the drawing
room, followed by the King and myself.
Holmes rushed at the bell-pull, tore back
a small sliding shutter, and, plunging in
his hand, pulled out a photograph and a
letter.
The photograph was of Irene Adler her-'
self in evening dress, the letter was super
scribed to "Sherlock Holmes, Esq. To be
left till called for."
My friend tore it open, and we all three
read it together. It was dated at midnight
of the previous night, and ran in this way:

"I am sorry," said Holmes, "that I have
been unable to bring Your Majesty's busi
ness to a more successful conclusion."
"On the contrary, my dear sir," cried
the King, "nothing can be more successful.
I know that her wcrd is inviolate. The
photograph is now as safe as if it were in
the fire."
"I am glad to hear Your Majesty say bo."
"I am immensely indebted to you. Pray
tell me in what wav I can reward you.

the palm of his hand.

Holmes.

A writer in the Contributors' Club of the
Atlantic, in a paper on "A Swiss Boardina
School," says of Swiss school girls: French
and music being the chief ends of each girl's
sojourn, there was no grind of college pre
paration. Nobody was studying for an ex
amination. This prevented a certain stren
uousuess of tone and tensity of excitement
which are apt to exist with us in the more
earnest schools. On the other hand, there
was in the eirls themselves none of that in
tellectual interest which we find among
bright American girls who are Dur
suing classical studies together. They
had among themselves np such eager
ness of conversation; they did not appear to
discuss the problems of life or to feel per
sonally answerable for their solution; and
as compared with a set either of clever or
of fashionable girls they seem very young
for their years, though in some instances
very bright, and in an interesting way. If
the school had not the stamp of a college
preparatory, neither had it the character of
our fashionable institutionsfor young ladies.
Careful attention was paid to instructions
in manners and little niceties of social usage.
The necessity for a woman of being womanly
was frankly dwelt upon, and taken for
granted as a basis of action; but a trivial or
petty view of things was stronglv discour
aged, and the whole tone of tbe household
was that of rare simplicity and unworldli
ness. The extreme elaborateness in wraps
seems at last to have been reached; thongh
it was thought last year that trimming had
reached its limit. Richness and weight of
the newest styles far surpass anything here
tofore seen. Not for many seasons has there
been such a display of velvet wraps, and
these are not, as might be supposed, to.be
reserved for the elderly. An age distinction
is made in the cut of the garment more than
in the trimming. Feathers or fur almost
invariably accompany jetted garments for
edge finishment.
Slantl e-shaped wraps most commonly have
yokes pointed or square, and high flowing
collars. They are of velvet or heavy silk
and are garnitured with embroidery, passe
menterie or galloon and edged with feathers,
astrakhan, angora wool or any variety of
fur. These are for afternoon wear. For
open cloaks the tendency is to length and
any gorgeousness of trimming in gold braid,
A Traveling Wrap.
beading or embroidery, but always finished
with feathers or fur. A favorite finish is a
flat band of llama fringe, which is delight
fully soft and cozy-looking.
Some perfectly new model dresses have
the bodice cut off in front, just below the
waiBt, and the sides (beginning about the
hips) sloped off into long tails, like those of
a gentlemen's dresscoat This is newer nnd
more becoming to stout figures than the
quite long, straight-fronted coats, whice are,
perhaps, already getting a little common.
The new style was applied in one evening
dress that I Baw a model from Paris, says
a writer in a London journal. The coat
thus cut off was of emerald-green velvet,
which opened from the shoulders to show a
vest of Brussels lace over green silk; and at
the waist, where the velvet coat was cut
away, the lace was prettily draped to follow
its outline, and revealed the green silk pet
ticoat, embroidered in cut beads to match in
color, In a design like three trails of creep
ers. A lace flounce about eight inches deep
finished the bottom of the skirt, which be
hind was prolonged into a gored demi-train.
I am informed at a fashionable dressmak
er's that "there are six different ways of
goring the new skirts." The most popular
and successful methods, however, are two:
lllflafmSwt!SyUJA
'm. 3
mivM
Br-
fir
what is known as "the umbrella skirt," a
term which explains itself as implies gores
all round; and a straight front and side
pieces, with gored back alone. Sleeves are
still tolerably full, and the mantles are
being made to accommodate that arrange
ment, so that we may conclnde that it will
last through the winter. At the same time,
it is not absolutely necessary for style to
have very large sleaves, an,d tailor dresses
in particular are only raised and set a little
full at the shoulder and sloped in to fit
tightly below the elbow, generally finishing
under a broad gauntlet cuff
The magpie, or black and white combina
tions, came out at its best at a recent fash
ionable wedding, where the bridemaids
wore enormous white lace hats, turned
up in the back, with three black Prince of
Wales feathers standing up in the usual
way. The gowns were white crepe dechene,
the shoes and stockings were black, so were
the gloves, while the fans were black feath
ers, and against them were held bouquets of
stephanotis. There was a time when even a
bit of black at a wedding was counted bad
luck, but nowadays black being the vogue it
is permitted everywhere, and the artist will
soon be painting black halos about the heads
of the angels.
Sealskin is now so expensive that it has
increased the price and created a demand
for the furs of humbler animals. Mink will
be most popular this winter. It is seen in
charming little boas and collars.ornamented
with heads and claws of the animals.
Glutton is another fur that will be exten
sively used for dress trimming. It is long
haired and durable, but lacks the fine tex
ture and rich shading of the better grades
of mink. The beautiful sable fur is always
desirable, but its high price renders it be
yond the reach of most purses.
The prevailing mode for an eveningbodice
issimilar to that worn during the time of
Lincoln, and seen to such advantage in the
numerous portraits of his wife. It is cut
perfectly round front and back, and finished
with a face of deep lace carried over the
shoulders. Sometimes the lace is tacked to
form a puffed sleeve, but more often it hangs
loosely and drapes the upper portion of the
arm.

these, for a brunette, are knitted of brown,
with a lining of gold. The old gold looks
very pretty about the face and sets off the
neck beautifully. Another favorite is a
combination of black and white. Two
shades of scarlet are also worn, and those
who can afford it are investing in silk caps
and capes, lined throughout in fur. These
are very comfortable to travel in, as one
may imagine, and can be utilized wherever
one" may be, whether on board a train, on
shipboard or traveling haphazard in coaches

EVERYONE SNEEZING.
'Colds remarkably prevalent. Will the
Grip return? Dangers of Pneumonia.
Have you noticed tho unusual number of
colds possessed by your acquaintances this
year? There seems to be no particular rea
son why the Fall of this year should be
more trying than usual, but, nevertheless,
it is a fact. Those who know something of
these matters say that this extraordinary
prevalence of colds is the forerunner of an
other visitation of the Grip. Whether it
may turn out so or not, a thing everyone
should do is to get rid of a cold as soon as
possible on account of the danger to which
a person with a "little cold" is exposed.
Pneumonia nobody wishes to face, and it Is
no exaggeration to state that eighty per
cent, of deaths from this cause conld have
been averted if the colds out of which they
grow lind been cured.
By far the best method of ridding oneself
of a cold is to take a little pure stimulant in
water and keep warm after having done so.
The greatest care and prompt measures
lshonld be taken at the slightest sign of the
approacn ot pneumonia, n you navo a
tickling In tho throat, tightness of the chest,
pain in the head, a chilly feeling or pains
throughout the body, immediately uso some
puie stimulant to promote the circulation
and avert the catastrophe. It should be
particularly borne in mind that to be of the
required value, the stimulant (whiskey
preferably) must bo pure, and Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, which can be obtained of
your druggist or grooer, meets the require
ments. It is standard and reliable and the
fact that it has received the endorsements
of the leading scientists and physicians of
the present day Is the best guarantee of its
usefulness as a medicine. Insist upon hav
ing It and do not allow the salesman to sell
you a substitute which he may recommend
as "Just as good." There is no other medic
inal whiskey which equals Duffy's Pure
Malt In purity and excellence. t el

"Physicians told me, during the time I
suffered from a disease of which 1 am
now practlcallv cured, that I never would
be cured of it; that it was an incurable dis
ease. I had been afflicted for 20 years.
Mr. John T. Decker, Wellington and Picnic Sis.
"I am 41 years of age," continued Mr.
Decker, who is a carpenter and contractor
living at the corner or Wellington and Pic
nic streets, "and ever since I was 21 I have
been afflicted with catarrh of the head,
throat and stomach, and have doctored a
great deal for it with doctors and taken all
kinds ofpatentmodiclnes,butncver secured
anything but temporary relier until I ap
plied to Drs. Copeland and Hall.
'The pains in my head and over my
eyes were nearly continual; the mucus
would gather in my throat, and I
would have an awful cough, especially In
the mornings, trying to clear it out: my
head and nose were continually stopped up,
and my throat dry and sore; my sense ot
smell was almost destroyed, and mv hearing
nearly gone: my head was full of strange
noises; the discharge from mynose constant
and moat disagreeable, and tbe disease so at
tacked my stomach as to make my
appetite fitful, and when I ate heart
ily my stomach, would distress me.
I wa3 dizzy and nervous, and my sleep was
broken and restless doing me no good and
I always had a tired, mopy feeling.
"I called upon Drs. Copeland and Hall and,
after consultation, placed myself under their
care. The medicines they gave me seemed
to go direct to the seat of my disease. I
never expected the benefits these gentle
men have given me. My head is clear and
sound; my throat free from pain; my hear
ing greatly Improved; I eat well, sleep well,
and am gaining rapidly in flesh and
strength."
"I was troubled with a very bad case of
catarrh. I thought at times that it would
put me crazy, it was sopainful and disagree
able," said Sliss Mary Berron.of 83 Whiteoak
street, Allegheny.
Miss Mary Herron, WhUeoak street, Allegheny.
"My head and ears were all tho
time filled with bnrring, whizzing
noises, and dark blotches would
gather in front of my eyes until
sometimes I would think I wai going
blind. The dull, heavy pains in my fore-
neaa, just over my eyes, ana snarp, snaaen
pains in the top of my head would nearly set
me crazy. I was worried and tired to death
with the pains and nches and was losing my
general health and strength. My nerves
were overstrained and I was irritable and
fretful.
"I saw the many cases In tne newspapers
of people who had been cured of like
troubles by Drs. Copelandnnd Hall, and, aa
their charges were reasonable and their rep
utation high and good, I thought I would go
and see them. I placed myself, nnder their
care, and I want to say that they have cured
me entirely. I make this statement pnblic
for the benefit of others and because I can
honestly say that I am cured by theso gentle
men and am as well now or better than I
ever was before In my life."
Mr. James Walker, 129 Erin street, Pitts
burg: "I had a constant headache. Mynose
and throat were affected. My general health
was run down. They have enred me of all
my trouble."
Mr. James F. Boyer, 29 Miller street, Pitts

tioubles. They worked wonders in my case,
and I consider their treatment masterful
and scientific."
Mr. John Boden, City Hall, Pittsburg:
"The skill of these eminent physicians re

I have every confidence in these gentlemen

Drs. Copeland & Hall as scientific and suc

Mr. Joseph Beckert, 15 Ganand avenue,

and Hall as to their ability: They stand in
the foremost rank of their profession."
Mr. Thomas Doyle, ore Pride street, Pitts

treatment"
Mrs. P. G. Kllppel. corner Rowan avonue
and Grape street, E. E.: "In tbe case of our
little boy, Joseph, the catarrh had affected
his oyes and ears, causing ulceration of the
eyelids and a constant discharge from tho
ear. Drs. Copeland and Hall cured him."
Mrs. Mary J. Jamison, 117 Main street, Al

ject to catarrh from childhood. Drs. Cope
land and Hall cured me."
Miss Basle Llika, 15- Sherman avenue, Al

Mrs. Anna Mangold, Butler, Pa.: "I grew

stomach alter eatlnir, sour taste, and often
felt like vomiting bfs food. His appetite
was poor, and as his liver was much en

would often be taken with such sham
cramps and pain across his stomach and,
bowels it seemed as If he conld not live. He
had palpitation of the heart, dizziness,
weakness and pain across the small of his
back and a numb, lifeless feeling in bis
limbs. He could get but little sleep, and aj
every change of the weather gave him cold,
he took on a lingering cough. His breath
became short and he felt pain and sore

fast, and he gradually grew worse un
