KEW TOItK TTILL NOT BE QUARANTINED jcorTEicirr. I)! bt jr. T. associated pkesr. IiOSDOX, Sept. 16. The Conservatives assert that the Liberals are doubtfully ask ing whether 3Ir. Moriey's revocation ot the proclamation under the coercion act is not a tactical blunder. Liberals whose appreciation of craft in politics oertops their sense of principle, think that Mr. Morley ought to have de layed tie revocation of the proclamations until the sery eve of the reassembling of Parliament. He could then, according to their line of argument, have met Irish clamor and satisfied Irish pressure by doing what he has now done under a mere sense of fidelity to pledges, backed bv the hope that the Nationalists will respond to the confidence he places in them. The Liberals know the intensity of the desire of the anti-Parnellites to support Mr. Morley's initial experiment toward Irish self-government. What they ask is: Will the anti-Parnellites' influence prevail? Will Ireland, treed from coercion, have Buch quiet winter as v. ill justify Mr. Morle's sudden action? .VII Depends Upon the Pantellites. The Unionists say, of course, that with the restraints of law remot ed the irrecon cilables will show themselves and outrage will become rile. It is a part ot the sadness of the position of the genuine Irish patriots among the Parnellites, that they are largely si spected of readiness to co-operate in a re newal of disorder, or, at least, are not ready to use their influence to control the eruptive iorees. Although the numerical strength of the Parnellites is not great their disturbing power is immense. If they have not the priests and wealth of Ireland on their tide they are still in cloe touch with the core of of the heart of the people. Xowhere are they yet utterly extinct of power in auy district. They still dominate Clare and Dublin and greatly influence Galnoy, !os comnion, Cork and Waterford. Upon their forbearance depends the success of Mr. Morley's first stioke in behalf of Ireland's independence. Although the run on the Birkbeck Bank was almost concurrent with the collapse of the London Provident Bank and with the failure of several small provincial building societies, it has not had any apparent in fluence on the money market. It would be wrong to suppose that the nicmbenol haute finance were without anxiety. Mismanagement and Dishonesty. All over the country, in Wales and the Xorth of England, especiallv, these work ingmen's institutions, combining banking and building operations, are falling to pieces, chiefly through mismanagement, but often through the dishonesty ot direc tors. The Birkbeck Bank is the largest institu tion of th kind, with close connection with some of the great banks and obtained oilers of assistance to stop the run which was threatemnz to spread to a greater financial sphere. The newspapers gave loyal aid to check the panic, abitaininc from every hint of possible disaster and giving prominence to every reassuring statement the bankers wished to circulate. The position to-night leaves the public half convinced that all is right, although just cause for anxiety exists everywhere. Throughout England there are 2,700 building societies, with liabilities of over 50.000,000. Many of them are known to be utterly insolvent. Even if the panic brings no further disastrous developments, one result will be an amendment to the law under which they are allowed to exist The Effect of Cholera on Traffic. In vie ir ot the effect of the outbreak of cholera in New York on goods and pas sengers arriving ot British and other European ports, the representative of the Associated Press to-day interviewed John C 2tew, the American Consul General here. Mr. New said there was no reason to suppose that any change would occur. Traffic woula continue as usual. He had heard nothing from the British authorities, nor any suggestion from business men that the existence of isolated cases of the disease in New York would in anywise alter the present arrangements. Mr. New added that lie did not believe cholera would become epidemic in New York or other parts of the United States. When the authorities in America had to tackle anything like that they took a tight hold aud kept it. Within his own con sular boundaries cholera, so far as trade was concerned, was utterly unfelt The amount of trade during August exceeded that of the corresponding month last year, and business continued to increase tiiis month. His on information concurred with that received by the English authorities. No Cholera In the United Kingdom. Mr. New further said there is no cholera within the United Kingdom. This was marvelous, considering that England is the channel through which some ct the worst class of continental emigrants poured. If by any chance cholera did become epidemic in America, he felt assured that it nould not cause the authorities here to do any thing to inconvenience American arrivals, but he could not even anticipate the ques tion of precaution against the United States arising. The representative of the Associated Preis has sought to gain information from the London agents ot the Hamburg-American l'aeket Company concerning the state ments in American papers that written en gaiements uere given to some of the Kor niannia's cabin passengers that that vessel carried no emigrants. The agents decline to speak one way or the other, but said they might controvert the statement.though it they did it would only lead to newspaper controversy and do no good to anybody. Becariiiiig the question of the port au thorities here makinc anv restrictions on traffic with New York on account ot cholera there, the agents thought thev knew better; that a quarantine svstem like'tlm American would not hold here, and trade would go on as before. The detention of the Normannia, the agents added, obliged them to bring the Columbia back to Southampton without a 'single passenger aboard in order to meet the Norniannia's engagements.

A MESSAGE FROM DIAZ Opens, the Mexican Congress and Convcjs Interesting Information. City or Mexico, Sept. 1G. Congress was opened by President Diaz to-night In his addi ess the President said the United States legation had consented that nego tiations be opened for the irriga tion of land on both sides of the Itio Grande river, and these negotiations were nota in progress. The mixed commission of engineers appointed to re-establish the boundary posts between the United States and Mexico had decided the limits would be changed on account of alterations in the current ot the Eio Grande. The work ot the commission hrd not yet been begun, owing to the failure of the United States Government to provide funds to de fray the expenses of their representatives. Marauders ho for sometime infested the frontier and caused much trouble to the Mexican and Texas troops had disappeared. Every precaution against the introduction and spread of cholera in Mexico had been taken, and everv possible measure for the improvement ot the sanitary condition of J me country would De adopted. It was expected that the Tehuantepec Kailroad would be completed within 15 months. All steps nere beins taken to avoid any in crease in the National debt, and a small loan of GOO,000 would be more than suf ficient to meet every demand. THEIE PBIS0NEES MIXED TIP. HowMiKecsport Constables Happened to Lose Their Italian Captures. McKeesport, Sept 16. Special Con stables Downing, Collians and Eline. of this city, had an exciting time last night with several hundred Italians in North Versailles township. They were charged before Alderman Skelly by H A. Elm, a farmer, with wilful trespass. They weie laying a pipe line for the Carnegie Gas Company through the farmer's property without his permission. About 50 men were put under arrest on the Elm place, and the officers started with them to town. On an adjoining property the men under arrest got mixed up with an other gang of Italians, and the constables were unable to distinguish their prisoners. However, three bosses were picked out. They were brought here and entered bail in the sum of 54,550 for a hearing. To-day Elrn appeared, and the attorney for the, company nas also on hand. The costs in the case were paid aud Elm signed an agreement to allow the company to proceed with the work for a certain sum. GAS COaSEHEES HE AN BUSINESS. How Chicora Citizens Intend to Bring Their Company to Time. CllICORA, Sept. 16. Special. Owing to an advance in rates, a big indignation meet ing was held last night. Speeches were made by the most prominent citizens and business men denouncing the company, and advising against the use of their gas. A committee reported a statement, to be signed by the consumers and to be presented to the gas comnany, saying that if the rise is not taken off they will abandon the use of pas on the 1st of October. An ironclad agreement was also adopted which bound the subscribers under a penalty of 550 to refuRe to use gas irom the company at the increased rates. A commitiee was ap pointed to negotiate with outside companies with the view of bringing another gas sup ply here. A BIVAL TO THE BEADING. Iioston Capitalists l'orra a Syndicate to Market Not a Scotia Coal. Eostox, Sept 16. Special. Boston capitalists have bought up all the coal mines in Nova Scotia, and propose to fight the Beading combine. The general inmres sion is that coal will be pnt upon the free list, and it so there will be a chance to fight one coal monopoly with another. President Henrv M. Whitner, of the West End Street Kailroad, is at the head of the iiew syndicate, and he is at present in NovaScotia in connection with the big deal. Nova Scotia coal can be landed in Boston con siderably cheaoer than can the coal from Pennsylvania, and even with the duty now' imposed the price would not be any higher than the figucrs charged by thelteadingcom bine.

The final programme for the dedication of the World's Fair buildings was settled to-day. W. C P. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, will deliver the oration. There has been some hostility to Mr. Breckenridge on account of his atti tude on the AVorld'sFair appropriation, but this has been smoothed over. The next most important action of the Arrangement Committee was the substitu tion of Canliticl Gibbons lor Archbishop Ireland to deliver the closing prayer. The Archbishop is to appear on another pro- gramme the same day THE FAIR TO GO ON. Unless Cholera Sweeps the Country the World's Columbian Expo WILL BE HELD JUST AS INTENDED.

TELEGRAM TO TME DISrATCIM Washington, Sept. 1C The managers of the World's Fair will not listen to the proposition to postpone the National Expo sition because of threatened cholera plague. Director General Davis is here to consult the Secretary of the Treasury on the sub ject of taking proper precautions to pre vent the introduction of cholera into tho United States bv war of exhibits to tha great exposition. Secretary Foster, Assis tant Secretary Nettleton and General Davis went over the subject together, and they are confident that measures may be taken to keep out the disease without interfering with the fair. General Davis said the managers of the Fairwere willing to accept such restrictions as the customs officers think best to impose, and they will cheerfully co-operate with the Treasury officials in seeing that the reg ulations are carried ont Secretary Foster said he thought there wonld be no need of trouble about the proper fumigation and disinfection of those exhibits coming from infected or Btispected districts, and the Cus tom House officers will be duly notified on the subject Big Reduction In Customs Receipts. At the Treasury Department the financial returns from customs lor the 15 days of the present month show a falling off in the custom receipts of something over $3,000,000 for a similar period last month. The Treasury officials do not attribute the de crease to the cholera, although they con cede that the importations may have been in a measure reduced by the epidemio in Europe. It was expected there would be a marked decrease in the receipts for the present month, because the revenues for last month were unusually large. Secretary Foster, of the Treasury Depart ment, says there is no longer any occasion tor an executive proclamation prohibiting immigration. He is convinced that the steamship companies will carry out their promises to take no more immigrants or second-class passengers until further notice. They have matte a formal declaration in "riting to that effect, and they wili carry it out in good faith. Under thecircumstances there is no further necessity lor amending or enlarging the recent executive circulars establishing the 20-day quarantine. Present Regulations Considered Good. The reports from New York to-day were such as to inspire the Secretary with the idea that the worst is about over in New York, and he believes the present regular tions are sufficient to hold the disease in check. He was a little annoyed when he received information this morning that the Jersey Railroad had refused to carry sup plies to Ft Low at Sandy Hook. He im mediately authorized the Government -authorities to make arrangements to send the necessary supplies to the camp by a boat. An attempt' was made here to-day to start a sensation by circulating a report that two case 1 of cholera had been discovered in this city. An investigation was promptly made by Surgeon Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, and Health Officer Ham mett, and they quiokly pronounced the re port groundless. No thought is longer given to the scheme of postponing the Grand Army Encamp ment, and even the announced purpose of quarantining against persons from New lork Citvorany who pass through that city has also been abandoned, The visitors are pouring into the city. It is already ap parent mat tne urand Army win be but a small part of the army that will invade the capital before the day of the opening of the encampment, and that the capacity for en tertainment will be taxed to the utmost Camping Out Slay Be Necessary. The low fares are bringing not only the men folk but the women and children as well, and already a cry goes up on account of the difficulty of securing a place to sleep. Those for whom bed and board have been secured are lucky, as without such forethought they would possibly be forced to camp out as a number of veterans did last night One grizzled old fellow, who was all through the war, and who has attended every annual encampment of the Giand Army, called at headquarters last evening, weary ith along trip and asked to be as signed to a bunk in a tent or in the bar racks. He was told that as he had not applied for lodging before the free list was exhausted he would have to shift for him self. "All right." said he, cheerfully. "I've done that before, and so here goes." In the elegant rooms of the headquarters he opened his ancient gripsack, took out an army blanket that looked as though it bad seen service during and ever since the war. wrapped it about him, lay down on the floor, and was soon snoring. He was al lowed to sleep there till this morning. Bound to See the Old'CapitaL Any number of old bovs have already been taken care of at the police stations, as they have neither money nor a place where to lay their heads. They are bound to see the old town through which they marched in grand review in'65,if they could rake to gether money enough to pay their fare one way, trusting to the god of "wars for couch and rations and to get them back home. Most ot the early arrivals, however, are of the very comfortable class, and the thous ands ot impecunious who are always present at these encampments are yet to come. So far the cholera scare does not seem to have reached the visitors. They are' too busy sight-seeing and tramping about the great stretches of barracks and tents in the parks to tninK ot the possibility ot in fection. The thousands of tents in the several parks make a wonderfully pictur esque spectacle, aud suggest to most of the visitors more of the actuality of war than they have ever seen. This evening and to-morrow the last touches will be put on the decorations the unusually tasteful stands and pavilions wijl be finished, and all be complete for tho final influx of visitors on Sunday and Monday, with nothing to mar the perfection ot the ar rangements except the distressing illness of Mrs. Harrison, which is now certain to detain the President at Loon Lake, thus disappointing tens of thousands, not the least of whose anticipation in connection with the encampment was that of shaking hands with a real live President of the United Statt s.

NO LOVE AT LAST SIGHT. A Wealthy Ex-Widow Sighs to Don tho Weeds Agaln-Her Young Husband a Useless ,nnd Expensive Luxury He Beats Her Every Daj. Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 16 It was 13 months' ago that Mrs. Elma Jane Nagle, a widow worth 5500,000, married Charles A. White at the mansion of the bride in this city. They met at Hot Springs, Ark., in the winter of 1891, and it was said to be a case of love at first sight White wished a division of the late Nagle's estate be. tween the widow and her son. aged 16. Having seenred this he filed for record at the County Clerk's office a week ago a power of attorney for the woman, and a mortgage on all she1 possessed to secure a note ot $75,000 running 90 days. White immediately left for New York. A petition for divorce has been filed by Mrs. White's attorney, in which it is charged" that White has failed to contribute to the support of the family, though repre senting that he was receiving 510,000 a year as American manager for the London Mlia- trated Ncirt. Instead, hehas increased the household expenses, setting up a stable, running a pack of hounds on the prairie and making frequent trips to Chicago and other places. The petition further recites that White has beaten his wife almost every day dur ing the last five months; has kept her a captive on the premises, and was once re strained from killing her only by the threat of the son who had a pistol. He has reviled the memory of the dead husband and forced the signing of the power of attorney and mortgage, after which he threatened to turn the plaintiff upon the world. White is about 32 and the woman is fully 50. Tho young fellow claims to be a journalist, and certainly has an acquaintance with many newspaper men. HAN AS A MACHINE. Ills Kfflclency Is Far Eclipsed by Many of the Animate Creatures. Prof. E. H. Thurston, in an article in the September Forum, says that every animate creature is a machine of enormously higher efficiency as a dynamite engine than man's most elaborate construction, as illustrated in the 20,000 horse-power engines of the Teutonic or the City of Paris, or in the most powerful locomotive. "Every gymnotus living in the mud of a tropical stream," he adds, "puts to shame man s best efforts in the production of elec tricity; and the minute insect that flashes across his lawn on a summer evening, or the worm that lights his path in the garden, exhibits a system ot illumination incompar ably superior to his most perfect electric lights. Here is natuie's challenge toman! Man wastes one-fourth of all the heat of his fuel as utilized in his steam boiler, and often 90 percent as used in his open fire places; nature, in the animal system, utilizes substantially all. He produces light by candle, oil lamp, or electricity, but submits to a loss of from one-fifth to more than nine-tenths of all his stock ot available en ergy as heat; she, in the glow worm and firefly, produces a lovelier light without waste measurable by our most delicate in struments. "He throws aside as loss nine-tenths of his potential energy uheii attempting to de velop mechanical power; she is vastly more economical. But in all cases her methods are radically different lrom his, though they are as yet obscure. Nature converts available forms of energy into precisely those other forms tUiich aie needed for her purposes in exactly the right quantity, and never wastes, as does invariably the engi neer, a large part of the initial stock by the production ot energies that she does not want and cannot utilize. She goes directly to her goal. Why should not man? He has but to imitate her processes." THE SERPENTINE DAHCE, It Is Only a Development of King Pharaoh's, Fa orite Bee Dance. London Truth.' A learned correspondent writes as fol lows concerning the new dance: "Numerous young ladies and gentlemen are claiming the honor of inventing or first introducing it They forget that it is only a development of Pharaoh's favorite 'bee dance,' still to be met with on the banks of the Nile. It was brought into prominence about 35 years ago by Donato, the one legged dancer at Cove'nt Garden Theater. The dance wants figure and personal beauty first, and arms rather than legs atterward. The exertion of working the 80 yards of China silk into graceful folds is about equal to the muEcular exercise involved in a per formance with the Indian clubs, and the foot dancing is necessarily confined to a small space, for fear ot entanglement The serpentine dance would probably be classed as Spanish." My correspondent might be rig'it enough as to the date to which the dance goes back. I am no Egyptologist. He is in error as to the date of Donato, the one-legged dancer, who must have appeared nearer 5 and 20 years ago than 5 and 30. Time goes quickly enough, to be sure; but, sp'eaking from memory, I should have said that Donato waB in a Covent Garden pantomime some where well down the sixties? ITALY HAY PAY THE BILL. Frank Riley's Hurrlsburg Relatives Want Indemnity for His Murder In Genoa. HAERISBUKO, Sept 1G. Special The Italian Government may be obliged to lay out a little money because of the murder of Frank liiley, of this city, in Genoa, re cently. His relatives here have engaged counsel to secure reparation, if possible. At the time of the perpetration of the L crime news was cabled that Bilev had been killedby a keeper of a lodging house through malioe toward him. Another story was that the man murdered him because the latter advised his comrades to leave the place on account of its bad reputation. The attorneys who have charge of the case have written to Secretary of State Foster, asking whether the alleged facts published are sufficient on which to base a legal inquiry, and whether, if they were ascertained to be true, action looking to in demnity could be instituted.

NOKE OF THE DOCTORS WILLING To Predict a Favorable Outcome of the invalid's illness.. MR.UaRRISON TAKES A LITTLE EXEECI8E Loon Lake House, N. Y., Sept 16. There was no particular change in Mrs. Har rison's general condition to-day, and at mid night the report was the same. The result of an operation for the removal of the fluid in the chest cavity has given the attending physicians some slight encouragement, as the quickness of her recovery from the shock of the puncture indicates the posses sion by the patient of considerable strength and vitality. The previous operations were performed under the most alarming condi tions, and were resorted to only as extreme measures. On both occasions the patient's system sustained the shock with difficulty, and her recovery was bIow and tedious. One of the physicians present at the last operation remarked to-day that he would not have been surprised if Mrs. Harrison hap succumbed during its progress. It was therefore resorted to to-day with consider able misgivings, and the great success at tending it caused corresponding gratifica tion. While the danger of a fatal termination of the case is not altogether removed by the successful treatment of the pleuric compli cation, the latter circumstance adds con siderable to the ultimate prospects of the patient The attack of pleurisy may be overcome, but it will still be necessary to clear the system of the destructive bacilli before hope of recovery can be reasonably entertained. It is an open secret that none of the phy sicians who have attended Mrs. Harrison will venture a public prediction that she will certainly recover. The best that the most sanguine will say is that cures are re corded in cases where the same symptoms were present. Drs. Gardner and Doughty are each on record, however, as saying that there is no danger of immediate dissolution, except in the event of unlooked-for compli cations. The President was so much encouraged at tho success ot to-day's operation that he went lor a short walk In the mountains with Mrs. Dimmick. This is the first time for several days that he has left the cottage, except to get his meals. Telegrams ot sym pathy fand inquiry were received to-day lrom Vice President Morton, Marquis Im perial!, ot the Italian Legation, and Gen eral Palmer, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army ot the Republic. The latter expressed the sincere hope that Mrs. Har rison's condition would improve sufficient ly to permit the President to attend the en campment in Washington next we?k. There is, however, no possibility of his beiug able to leave here tor a weefc at least. A DEATH AT THE PENITENTIABY. Hugh Girarde's Prison tifo Is Snddenly Kndcd by Consumption. Hugh Girarde, known as No. 9083 in the Western penitentiary, died in that institu tion about o o'clock yesterday afternoon of consumption. He was between 25 and 30 years o ase. Last night Acting Warden McKTean was seen at the penitentiary. It was late and the prison books had been locked up for the night He said he knew but little of the man. He refused to give his name, but said the prisoner was known as "9035." Mr. McKean said that the man hid been sentenced by the Pittsburg Court about the 1st of September, but what for or for how long he did not know. Dr. Boyce, who is the penitentiary physi cian, said that the man's name was Hugh Girarde and that he was brought into the hospital department last Friday. The doc tor also said that Girarde's mother lived on Robinson street, Allegheny. Yesterday she went down to the prison and was with her son'when he died. She was greatly af fected. Inquiries among old residents on Robin son street developed the fact that the name Girarde was unknown there. Such a name and address could not be found in the Citv uirectory. 'lhe Coroner will investigate the case. KILLED BY HIS TWIN BB0THEB. James Hook Fatally Hurt by the Explosion of a Dynamite Cap. James Hook, 10 years old, died yester day at his home at the, foot of Elba street On Sunday last the lad and his twin brother, John Hook, were playing with a dynamite cartridge on a vacant lot near their home.

A Case of Bronchial Asthma Causel by Nasal Polypii, Which, It Wonld Seom, Could Have Been Believed Tears Ago by a Little Attention on the Part or Physi cians Statement nf 3Ir. Jaran Hous ton's Suffering and Final Care br Drs. CoDeland, H ill and Bjers. Below Is given the statement of Mr. James Houston, aged 70, or Tustin street, who was recently cured of bronchial asthma and nasal polypii by Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. He had been treated by a number or doctors, and despite the fact that his nostrils were entirely closed so he could not get a particle of air through either one, yet, wonderlul to relate, not one of these doc tors ever looked into his nose, where ex isted the simple and easily removed cause of his trouble, the Nasal Polypii. I et the reader form bis own conclusion. Wo simply state the facts as they come undor our ob servation. These doctors are the very ones who de cry the professional standing of Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers because they employ the business method of letting the public know through tho newspapers that they aro prepared by special training and proper equlnment to treat certain chronic affec tions as well as to show the results of a por tion of their worK each week. If Drs. Cope land, Hail and Byers had dono nothing else this last weet than to relieve the sufferings of this poor old gentleman, who had had bis confidence in medical men abused by tho shameful and careless neglect of his former pnysicl&ns, they wonld feel th e time veil spent As has often been stated In these columns, Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers give every patient consulting them a careful and thor ough examination pievious to treatment, so they are prepared to recognize any abnor mal condition that may exist, as this is necessary for a proper understanding of each case. When the tronble Is recognized and a correct diagnosis mado It is easy to apply the proper treatment Those who aie suffering fiom long standing diseases, heretofore considered incurable by their family pbyslcian, if wise, will consult these eminent specialists before giving up all hope. Remember what has been done for others can be done for you. AXOIHER WOSDEHFCI, CUKE. Mr. Jam-i Hnnston' Statement of His Suffering. Careless and Bnnclinc; Treat ment and Final Belief by a Simple and Eailly Applied Method by Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byers. "I used to work in tho pipe mill of the Pennsylvania Tube Woiks," says Air. nous ton, "but over a ear and a half ago had to give up on account of ray dLscase getting so bad. I had pain all over my head, through my chest, stomach, back and legs. My throat was filled with mucus, which kept me hanking and spitting constantly, and my nose wa3 stopped up so that I could not brenthc tnrongh either nostril. This kept lny tin oat, tongue and mouth dry and parched all the time. I couldn't car, couldn't sleep and at times could scarcely get my breath. I never went to bed at all, because when I laid down I smothered up so I couldn't get my breath. I had to sit up all night coughing and gasp ing for breath. Grent beads of sweat stood out on my forehead from my strenuons efforts or trying to get air, till I fell back in my chair utterly exhausted, where I lav until another spasm would come on, when I had to go through the samo thing, hour a. ter hour and night alter night. No one but my wife and mvself know what I suffered. "Finally, I became so bad I was confined to my house. It was just at this time that I read of tho wonderful cure of Mr. Conrad Apel, or North avenue, Allegheny, who was auoucmyage anu wtio?e symptoms resem bled mine, and I wrote ont a description or my symptoms and sont it to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' office. They sent ma medi cine which iravo uiesomuch lellefthut in tlx weeks' time iTvns ablo to bo taken to their office. Dr. Byers, who was in tho con sultation loom nt the timo, gave me a care ful examination, and said my trouble was bronchial asthma, and that it was no won der 1 could not breathe through my nostrlH as they ero filled with gelatinous polypii. lie seemed surprised when I told him that, though I had been treated by several physi cians, none had ever looked into my nostrils to ice the cause of my not being able to breathe through them before. He told me the polypii was tho cause of my asthma, and that they would have to bo lemoved before I could hope to obtain roller. "At different times he lemoved almost a handful fiom eacl nostril with but very lit tle pain, and oh, what lelief to on able to bi eathe once more through my nostrils. My asthmatic symptoms began to disappear from that time, mid by continued local and interrat treatment I have been brought from a state of such abject misery as but few can appreciate to a condition of as good health as anyone at my age could expect. Tho pains nave disappeared, I eat well and enjoy my meals, am increasing in strength daily, being able to visit the office alone, breatho freely through both nostrils, and can go to bed now and sleep ail night long without awakening. "I cannot begin to express my gratitude toward Die. Copeland, Hall and Bjeis lor their skillful treatment in relieving mo of such agony and restoring to comfort and easo my declining year. If I had consulted them at first I would have been saved months of suffering and innch money. One doctor charged mo $5 ior two bottles or med icine which did not do me a bit or good."
