iMgjjggggfi the pittsburg dispatch, "Sunday, September is. isaa MONEY AND STOCKS. No Immediate Danger of a Scarcity of the Needful. EASTERN MARKETS ARE EASIER A Little Gossip About the Leiden of the Local List. MOST CHANGES SLIGHT DECLINES Saturday, September 17. Less talk about stringent money has been heard during the' cast week. Exchange reached a point which practically prohibited gold exports; morey was comparatively easy in New York and Boston: the Bank of England's minimum rate of discount was unchanged, and the rate in the open market-continued low and weak on account of the great abundance of money; currency movements countryward and for crop mar keting purposes were comparatively light, and all the authorities talked quite con fidently of the immediate luture of the market. The New York bank state ment to-day was better than expected.show ing for the first time in many weeks an in crease in the reserves. It was slicht, how ever, and there was a decrease in loans of f6.SCS.900, a decrease of 58,292,000 in depos its and a decrease in legal tenders of $1,109, 190, though the actual lo-s shown is,much less than anticipated. The Eastern money market Is undoubtedly firm, though easier than a week or so ago. but there is no danger of very dear money. Kates may be ma nipulated somewhat in the interests of big lenders and bis "peculators, but there is uow and will continue to lie an abundance ot money at normal rates for all legitimate interests. Leading August Exports. It was remarked some weeks ago that the exports during the mouth of August must be expected to show a considerable decrease, in comparison with the extraordinary move ment of last year. The preliminary state ment of exports of the principal products during that month theiefore comes with some sense of sui prise and relief, because the decieae In the larger classes or exports 1 not on the whole as great as was expected, nor does It extend to all the important classes. It Is tiue that a slight gain in the exports of cotton in of no significance, since in the last month of the crop J ear the move ment Is always sma'l and this ear It was but 8,100 bales ci eater thin in the same month of last eir. But the pitce was some what Inner, so that the inciease in alue is quite small. It appears alco that the shipments from Kcw ork weie considerably niaur man a year ago, dui theie was an inciease of about 10,000 bales in exports from Xew Orleans. As compaied with a rear ago, there has been an increase in the exports of cattle and hog", beef and lios produc s and cotton, but a decrease in dairy products, bieadstuffs and mineral oils 'ihe totnl value of the exnoits of these products In August last was S49.272.831. ngninbt ?4i!,t!63,20l for the corresponding month last vear.

Local Securities. The transactions recorded at the Exchange Tor the week ending to-day agtrregated S.C33 shares of stock, against 3,893 shares for the five business days of the previous weok. The tore of the market, looking over the field at this time, cannot properly be de scribe! as otherwise than unsettled, nlth the tendency of most shaies to decline. Strong points were not lacking, however, and the closing bids to-day, compared nith thoe of last Saturday, show nearly as many pains ns fosses, as follows: .iifranccs Airbrak-, 2- Citizens traction, ii: Manufacturer Gas, 1; Pittsburg and Cas tle channon Ruilroad, 1; Lxchanero National Bank. J-a: Westinguouse Electric unas sentcl. 4. Di-chne Phi'aaelphla Company, J: Peo- Sle's Pipeage, V. Pleasant Valley, yt: Luster lining Compan,l. Union Switch and Sig nal. Ji: P. & B traction, ? Duquesne trac tion, ; Ulectric second pre erred, . Aside from the cholera scare and the wild eyed rumors cuculated by the alarmists and the Wall stieet bears, the influences weie mainly favorable. It was demon strated that general business was im ruoing: that the country's material intei ests were in excellent shape; that gold exports, were practically at an end, and that there was no likelihood of the money mar ket becoming senously stringent The scare was divested of some of its terrors jesteiday and to-day by encourueing re ports Horn the East, but the disposition to lav low and natch which it en endered lo cally was quite as noticeable at the close to day as at am time during the week, and in dications pointed to itscnntinuance forsome oays jet. It is bcliex ed, however, that barr inzaiiy tuithei unfavorable dcelopments, tuemmket will soon respond to the condi tions winch, despite, the scare, tend to create confidence in the tutuie Gas Shares. In gas shaies the surface movement of the week was confined to Philadelphia Company, People's Pipeage ard Manufac turers Gas, with a little sub rosa business in A!ie2lien Heating Company and Churtiers Valic Ga- The decline in Philadelphia Compam was attributed in some quarters to the failure of the Board of Directors to inciease the dividend rato, but best opinion inclined to the beliel that it was the result oriealizing -ales for Eastern account and that the action of the Board would ulti irntely liavn a stimulating eject. The trans fer buok-of ihe cotnpanv close next Tues day . and the stock Is. likely to sas to the ex tent of the 1 per cent dividend, but unless the signs are wronirly read, it will soon re covei Irom an such a natural drop. If the statement o the condition of the company, to be benttos'ockhold rs with the dividend checks October 1. is anywhere near as good as some of the more enthusiastic claim it will be, the -tock will not only recoverjany loss that may be shown at that time, but smctnin.r in addition. Tho gross earnings for the qutitci, which is tile lightest in point of ieenue for the yenr. will be, it is thought in wcll-infi lined circles, any wheie lroni SluO.iWu to $150,000. to lai as the company's field operations of late are concerned, it is stated that they liao lesu tcri satisfactorily. At pre-entin-teiest is contciea in the well that was started eeral weeks ago on the Howe Jni in in the Elizabeth field. It is only 125 luet Itom the neo roarer, and the company is looking for u bi.r producer. It will reach ti e niteie-jting puint the eatly part of next w ck. People's Pipeage weakened on the intima tion that the dividend for the quar ter would bo 1j per cent instead oi 2 per cent. The company is a non pioducer ot gas, and it pursues the olicy o paving according to its earnings. il.e all others its tarnings during the July Ausrust September qu.ii tcr are liahtest, and accoidin.ly its diwdcnd for that quarter ehould bo smallest. However, theie has been no contirn ation of the report that the dn idend w ould be IJx per cent. Munutiicturei s. Ga-"old at 28, and some of thcotheiK scld at pm ate terms, generally above, it is said, recent quotations made on 'Liiane. Street Railways. There has been considerable trading in tne tractions during the week, notably in Duquisne, 1 & B and Citizens. Sales of tiie lattei aggicgated fully 1,000 shaies and were allfiom one source, the Hock going Into hands irom which it is not likely to drop veij soon. Hie expectation is that tne price will ;o to CS soon. -Many belie e the Citizens line will ultimately be piu cha'cd by the Pitt-burg-Duquesne people, in which event bujeis at present prices will realize ! and-on.e piollts. I A. B traction was stiong at 25 early In tne week under tlio support of Spioui & Co , w ho nptMfated to have some pretty good In Miig orders, buttheie was so much of feung they with) retr, and the price sagged to 2JBi at which point they resumed their i)un.' operaiiois. Hill & Co. also bought, and the tock closed looking us if it had bit uck bo loin. 1 tie decline in Dnq'uesne was a surprise, but it uas not cons dereil significant. The interests of those in control will be besi Bubseived bv an advance. It is bound to 0 up sooner or latet. Ihe movements in the other streetrallway shares were neither largo nor of any special significance. i itizeus traction 6s sold during the week at 110. a shIh o 10, too being reported to-dav at that price by Andrew Caster. Mr. Caster also sold $1 003 P., C, U A St, L 4Jj nt lMJf flat. Interest on the Citizens Ss is due Oc tober 1, and on that date the bonds will again be quoted at 107. Industrials. In the industrials Airbrake touched 10$ bid, 140 sales and closed at 139 bid. It seems to be pretty certain that the company will pay 10 per cent for the current quarter and that the dividends, one regular and one special, will soon be made. The general be lief is that the stock will gradually move np to 150, at which prioe it would be none too high. Those who ought to know say stock holders will receive 30 per cent at least dur ing the current fiscal vear, and possibly 35 or 40. Union Switch and Signal ruled steady. Its friends were cheeied uy fresh assertions that the suit against the Johnson Company would terminato favorably and by the statement that the earnings ot the past seven months were up to the most sanguine ex pectations. A gentleman who was given a line from the inside stated to-day that a very large hole in the company's indebted ness would be made out of this year's earn ings. Electrio second preferred seesawed con siderably, closing somewhat below the highest. Tho East made the market as usual, gome of the interested Boston peo ple, who have been in Pittsburg the past lortnight, went homo charged with en thusiasm and bullishness, and they fired some of it into the Boston papers. It was reproduced here, but its circulation, even at both ends, tailed to produce any marked eflect. Now York and Boston, however, aie again tipping it for another rise. The only other features of the week were the advances in Westin.honse Electric un assented, and Pittsburg and Castle Shannon Raili oad, and the decline in Luster Mining Compan. The rise in the first was legiti mate, because It was below a parity witli the second preferred; the second continued to move "mystery on," and thebreak in Luster was duo to statements made in these col umns that the capital stock of the company would be increased. Regarding the increase in Luster, Secre tary Miller stated to-dav that whatever the increase was It would be distributed among the stockholders as a dividend. He also stated that, contrary to general belier, the company was nearly in a position to begin the payment of regularcash dividends. A Broker's Comments and Opinions. A. J. Lawrence writes to the clientage of A. J. Lawrence A Co. as follows: "Electricity has so Intimately connected all the great centers of trade throughout the world that none can escape the good or bad influences that may develop in any one of the others. Ko matter if local conditions are ot the very best, tney cannot entirely over come unfavorable conditions Irom tho out side; especially if the latter are at all wide spread in their hearings. We had an Illus tration of this last year. The United States was blessed with abundance, while Europe was stneken with famine. Everything in thiscountiy favored unexampled prosper ity, and yet the conditions here were neu tralized by those abroad, and the results in all lines of business did not fulfill expecta tions. "These observations bring us to consider local stock market conditions, we would like to be bullish for the Immediate future, but present conditions do not warrant that position. Whether or not there is actual danger of an epidemic of cholera the fear of it has an unsettling effect, and words are wasted in ti)ingto convince the pub. ic to the contrary. The feverish state of the Eastern markets is proot of this, and In a modified debtee has an influence here. The intrinsic merit underlying the majority of local securities, however, will prove a sus taining factor and furnish the basis for a strong rally when there is a restoration or confidence. "Aside from the hesitation indicated, there have been no pronounced features in the market during the past week. As foie shadowed two weeks ao, and ajrain In our last letter, the board of directors of the Philadelphia Company did not increase the rate ot divdend at their meeting on Wednes day. The stock lost a fraction, but we be lieve this was due to selling by the East and not to disappointment at the action of the boaid, which is to be commended for its conservatism. Unless the reports of the supply of gas are greatly exa ggerated Phila delphia Company is cheap at current prices. Westinghouse Electiio was also depressed by the course ot evenisln the East, but its net loss is comparatively slight. Airbiako is about the only stock that scored an im portant advance, and at 140. at which price it sold, it is $3 per share higher than last week. Birmingham traction declined on sales by holders who lear threatened com petition, and Duquesne traction receded on tho withdrawal of buers, who evidently be ieve tbatitisnotapropitious time to bull stocks. "While we look for no advance, and will not be surprised to see a temporarily low er market, we have no hesitation in Miying that v. e teel bullish for a long pull. We therefore believe tha purchases on a scale downward will show a handsome profit before the end of the ) ear, for a market that could with stand the July riots and strikes as well as ours did, cortainly has a good foundation." Tips From Wall Street. J. S. Bache A Co. to Oakley A Co : "The market opened at a little advance, with Europe buying a few stocks and prices held fairly strong all day and closed a trac tion better than last night. Xorthei n Pacific preferred ws the only market exception and it closes lower on account of heavy sell ing for Philadelphia account. Chicago Gas, on the other hand, scot ed an advance of 2 per cent on the execution of n buying order of G1,000 shares, w hich was to cover short sales made u short while ago. "The cliolera scare is anating quickly and people are beginning to look at it in a more sensible light. Surely with a population of neal ly 2,000,000 we can not com plain it one or two cases occur a day. Our Health Board is able to cope with any inciease. The sani tary condition of this city is aj good as can be wished for. "Tills week has been an important one in Wall street, and has shown what we have been saying recently that the quotitions tor stocks w Inch were made two weeks ago were merely nominal, as stocks could not be sold but at a concession. It was curious to see the best stocks suffer the most, and the Vandcrbilt group particularly made the w orst showin-r. fct. Paul also scored a lama decline, as the short in teiest in this stock was vers small. It Is haid to cange the possible loss to commerce on account of the appearance of cholera in this country, but the raili oads are sure to suffer somewhat, as the immigrant business, which amounted to 600,000 people a year, will be greatly cur tailed, if not altogether cutoff. The leeling here is that immigration ought to cease al together, us the class ot people that we have been getting over lately have not been of the right kind. In lact, Mayor Grant has asked tho President to issue a proclamation closing our doors agaiust the immigrant class. "Outside the cholera scare and its bearing on business, conditions lemain about where they have been; roads will from now on have to compare with the favorable exhibit of last year, and we do not see, with the diminished crops which they will have to haul, how the earnings can turn out to be but disappointing. "The bank statement was better than ex pected, and, although showing no change in the reserve, showed a decrease of cash on hand ot $2 000,000. On account of the delay in reporting goods less money has beenpsid into the Treasury on account of duty. "We think the market will rally a little moie the earlier part of next week, but on rallies people should take profits. We do do not see how any big rise can ensue for some time to come."

The realty marker has not shown any special animation during the week ending to-day; neither has it taken a backward turn. It merely baited for a deflnito' under standing of tho cholera situation, in com mon with many other lines of business, and the halt flattened out a few deils and post poned others. The undertone was strong nnd premising, and with the passing uway of abnounal conditions created by tlio chol era scare a sharp rovivalof Interest will fol low. The follow lng table shows an increase in trans lers, building permits and purchase money mortgages over the previous week, which are encouraging features, but It also shows a large Increase in Judgments and ex ecutions. With the exception of a mortgage of $100,000 given by the Suburban Kapid Transit Hallway Company, the mortgages fllod were generally small. Mortcage pay ments decreased, as did also building and loan association mortgages. Weekending Weekending Sept. 17.

A STRMG CLOSE In Wall Street Under the Influences of Easier Mon:y and the Covering of Shorts-Industrials the Strongest Feat ures Railroad Bonds Still Dull and Featureless. New York, Sept. 17. The operations in "Wall street to-day reflected the clearing up of accounts over the end of the week, and indicate that many operators who have been successful on the short side have either covered their contracts and withdrawn from the market or have taken the lout; side for a turn. Many professionals who have been prominent in the decline were conspicuous in bidding stocks up, hut the forces at present are so evenly balanced that there was very little progress made in either direotlon, though the continued covering of shorts gave the market a firm appearance and the final changes wore generally small gains. To this result the bank statement contributed materially, as it was the flist one In many weeks w hioh showed a gain in the surplus reserve, and even though this was accomplished by a heavy withdrawal of deposits, supplemented by a dectease in loans neaily as great, the feeling In Wall street is that there is more money to loan on stock collateral and a distinctly easier tone was noted in tne money mancec. The strong leatuies weiethe industrials, especially Chicago Gas and Cordage, the first named being specially active. No other feature maiked the dealings and the cloe was quiet and firm to stiong at about the best figures of the day. Railroad bonds wore still dull, no interest whatever attaching to the dealings, and while a fairly steady tone was maintained, the chinges of note among the inactive Issues were generally losses. Among these Manitoba 2nds lost 2 at 11. The trans actions wore only $453,000 bonds and 116,118 listed and 13,3s6 unlisted stocks. Government bonds weie dull and steady. Close of the list. U.

More Territory Opened and McDonald's Output Increased Two New Wells In the Sand Some Possibilities of the Mannington nftb. Sand Tool News From Slstersville Wells. The week closed with McDonald putting out 23,000 barrels a day, and it has been several weeks since the field has been able to show as big an increase as during the last six days. This advance in production is almost entirely due to the well which Greenlee & Forst drilled into the fifth sand on the Noble farm, when it started off at 300 barrels an hour for the first few hours and Is still making 100 barrels an hour. During the week ending September 10 Fitzgibbons Co. brought In a 100-barreI an hour well at their No. 6 Walker in the old Fire pool, on the western side of the McDon ald field, and Greenlee & For-t's Noblo f usher Is only about 300 feet southwest of he Walker woll. The Noble well has opened a large scope of territory, and already new l Igs are going np southwest of it, and Greenlee & Forst ate starting a couple ot new ones on the same pi operty. The Goidon sand pool In the Metso hollow, located ubont a mile southwest of Willow Grove, has somewhat snrnrlsed the trade by looming up once moie with a40-barrelan hour well. It belongs to the Florence Oil Company, formerly Friday, Kell & Co., and is their No. 7 on tho Robb heirs' farm. It came in late Thui sday evening and is only on. top of tho sand. It Is gassing very strongly and tho owners will not drill It in until they get a line to the well and plenty of tankage, as they are confident that it will go from 200 to SCO barrels an hour whert drilled in. Showing for a Gordon WeU. Tho No. 3 on the Shane farm, in the lower or southwest side of the llelse pool, belong ing to J. M. Guffey, was reported last even ing to bb six feet In the sand and showing for a well. If it proves to be a producer it will largely increase tho extent of this pool, which has already produced thousands of barrels of oil. The Forest Oil Company's No. 6 on the John McEn en farm, and located about 300 feet sonthwest of the Florence Oil Com pany's No. 7 Robb, may got the r-nnd the last ot this week. It lstheouly welldiillln on the McEw en property. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon a tele gram was received trom the McCuidy field to the effect that the Phila delphia Company's test well on the Leech farm was showing fur a strong gusserin the ourthsand, but'little or no oil had been developed. They were still drill ing and will continue until they get through the sand, unless the well turns into an oil pioducer. In Greenlee A Forst's office last evening they reported that after a little agitation their No.'2 on the! Noble farm hnd increased its piodnctlon fiom lOu to 150 ban els. Fitzgibbons & Co.'s well No. fa on the J'. Walker (arm, which had diojiped to 25 bar rels an hour, was stiired up and increased its output to 43 burroU nn nour. The Oaktiale Gas Company and the Wood land Oil Couipnny were to have drilled their No. 2 John Robb into the fifth sand yester day, but at a late hour last evening nothing had been heard from it at the Woodland's office. The well is located about a mile and a half north oi Oakdale. Sisteesville Murphy Bios.' well on the Salisbury farm, east of town, is making 90 barrels a day. Russell & McMullen's well, on tho Thistle faun, was reported to have made 159 barrels fiom 9 o'clock Friday morning until noon yesteiday, which is ut the late of 1J0 bairels a day. The West Virginia, Fifth Sand. Another startling leatute of the week was the development of Montgomery & Co.'s big fifth sand well, on the Straight laim, 2 miles southwest of Mannington. W. Va. According to all authorities it is making from 700 to 900 barrels a day, and the owneis expect to increase its output deeper drilling. Speaking of this new leature yeoteiday, the well-known Piesident ot a Iaige oil com pany said: "I believe that the whole pro duction for the month of September will be neater than it has been fur many months. Out in Ohio they have been industriously dUgingaway in the Woodville poo), which has run up an enormous production; in Indiana the v have a pioduction of several thon-and barrels a da; McDonald is making over 20,000; Slstersville Is aveiaging over 10 COO barrels, while all aiound wo have old pools that are still producing, and on top of all this comes the Mannington fifth sund pool with one well doing from 700 to 909 bar rels a day, and nobody knows what it may develop into. ' It is from a sand that we know vory little about, and have had no-experience with ex cept at McDonald, and here we find It away down in West Vitginla. It is Just possible that the Straight hirm well is located on tho edge of another McDonald pool, and if it Is, it will make little difference whether they have to go 2,000 or 4,000 feet, there are plenty of men in the oil business who will bring it to the surface. All you have to do is to show them the good? and they will get them out, no difference what the price of the product." The Gauges. The production of McDonald wa3 23,000 yos- erdav, 500 more than the day belore. The hourly gauges of the larger wells at McDon ald yesterday were as follows: Fitzgib bons" & Co. No. 6 J. Walker. 43 Greenlee & Foist's No. 6 Maishall, 5. No. 2 Noble heirs, 100 Florence Oil Company's No. 7 Robb heirs, 40. The estimated production was 23,000; stock in field, 46,000.

Cope land, Hall and Byers Court Investiga tion ol Their PubUshed Statements Head Tills Week's Statement of Mr. McCue. A gentleman who called at the office or Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers this week stated that he had read of the remarkable cure of Mr. Houston in last Saturday's Times and as he had doctored and doctored for so many yeara without receiving any benefit and had become disgusted with doctors and medicines, he determined to ascertain for himself tho trutrffulness of the statements published each week and especially as far as related to Mr. Houston. Accordingly, he called upon that gentle man and requested an interview. In the course or that Interview Mr. Houston took occasion to say that Instead of Drs. Cope land, Hall and Byors exaggetatlng his dis tressing symptoms they did not dwell upon them sufficiently, and did not make the lan guage strong enough to express his recent snffeiings and present relief. He stated that, poor man as h6 was, ho would not take $1,000 and go back to the condition he was in one year ago. He has not now an ache or a pain about him, sleeps well, eats well and Is onlv- iimIt. hnt irnlninir in strength every day. Hia- case, the gentleman further stated, has created widespread interest in the neighborhood, and he was receiving many calls from people suffering with long standing ailments. Two ladles called while he was in conversation with blm. Investigation Courted. Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers court the strictest Investigation of the statements of enres reported every week this is what they are published for. They desire those interested to investigate carefully every statement published, and note If any exag gerations are made. They desire this be cause many who have a selfish Interest In maintaining that tney do exaggerate, at tempt from time to time to belittle their professional ability. They also desire that when these parties have satisfied themselves that they are telling the trnth in their adver tisements, that they will be honorable enough to come out frankly and say so, as the gentleman did who is quoted above. Tho trnth is Drs. Copeland, Hall nnd Byers do not publish one-hundredth part of the number of cures they actually make, as many are kept from furnishing statements for publication for various reasons. Some ol their best cures never reach tho public. Good Results Shown in Catarrhal Deafness. For Instance, a young lady who had been visiting In Franklin, Pa., this summer re cently called at the office of Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers and stated that she wished to take ncouisoof treatment for her ear trouble, roaring in the ears with partial deafness. During the conversation she said that she bad met an elderly lady while at Franklin, who had been treated by thalr "home treatment," and that when she first began, those who communicated with her had to do so in writing, she was so hard of hearing, while now, after three months' treatment, sue coma near ordinary conver sation. Upon writing to this lady and inquiring if she would like to make a statement for public-uion'sho replied that she would like v ery mnch to let the public know what had been done for her, as no one could ever understand how much benefit she had de rived Irom the treatment, but that ber tamlly physician had been so very kind and had done everything be could lor her, she was afraid It would hurt his feelings; how ever, she would like to have nny one inter ested referred to her and would cheerfully state tho beneficial results of her treatment. Her address will accordingly be furnished to anyone desiring to assure themselves of the results to be obtained from a thorough course of treatment for partial or complete deafness. MK.M'CUE'SCAE. ' Unable to "Work Since Last Fall, but Under Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' Treat ment He Resumes "Work in Three TVeeks' Time and Is Now Working Steadily. As of late Drs. Copeland, HaU and Byers have been reporting cases of such an aggra vated nature that they require from four to eight months to cure, they take pleasure this week In publishing the statement of Mr. William McCue, showing what quick re sults are sometimes noticed by their method of treatment. Mr. McCue is a bricklayer by occupation , at present in tho employ of Messrs A. Mo Donald & Son, contractors, corner Third avenue and Market street, and resides at No. 109 Dawson street, Allegheny. He states: "I had been ailing for four years. I bad a continual pain In my head with a full ness over my eves and through my temples. My nostrils were stopped up all the time with a tough mucus, which also dropped down into my throat, causing hawking and Mr. TTm. McCue, So. 109 Dawson st, Allegheny. spitting to raise. I coughed np great clots ot terrible looking stuff. I had sharp, shooting pains through my chest, with a heavy beating down pain as if a big weight had been placed on my chest, which made it difficult to draw a full breath. "Whenever I would go to work the stoop ing over would cause such a severe pain through my stomach it would start me to vomiting and finally I became so bad I had to give up my work entirely. My appetite failed me and I couldn't sleep. I got up in tho morning tired and nnrelreshed. I be camosoweakl conld hardly walk around and staggered on the street like a drunken mm. I had worked only nine days from last fall and this only by plec-meal. I felt so miserable and became so cross and peev ish my wife hated to see me around the house. "I consulted Drs. Copeland, nail and Dyers August 11, and no one can appreciate tho difference between how I lelt then and now. 1 be,: an to iuiprovo at once, and on September 2, Just three weeks afterward, went to work again, and could havo made full time each day if the m ork could have been given to me. I am able to work full time now, I eat well, sleep well, have no dis tressing coughing, or hawking or spitting, the raoklng pain and weight on chest Is gone and I feel like a new man. The most remarkable part of It all is that I derived all this benefit from Just one month's treat ment, but, to niAke sure of a permanent cure I havo paid for another month's treat ment and intend to keep on, so there will be no chance for a return of the tronble. I have orten thought of how much money and suffering I might have saved if I bad con sulted Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byei s a j ear ago, and put myself under a thorough course of treatment. Instead of dilly-dallying along with cough syrups and prescrip tions which did me no good." TREATMENT $5 A MONTH FOB AT.T. DISEASES WITH MEDICINES FUR NISHED FREE.

Houston's Statement of His Suffering. Careless anil Bungling; Treat ment and Final Belief by a Simple and Easily Applied Method by Drs. Cope land, flail and Byers. "I used to work In the pipe mill of the Pennsylvania Tube Works," says Mr. Hous ton, "but oyer a year and a half ago had to giyo up on account of my disease getting so bad. I had pain all oyer my head, through my chest, stomach, back and legs. My throat was filled with mucus, which kept me hawking and spitting constantly, and my nose was stopped up so that I could not breathe through either nostril. This kept my throat, tongue and mouth dry and parched all the time. I Mr. James Ilmu'cn, TusllnSL, near Seneca, Citjf. couldn't cat, 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 no so I couldn't set my breath. I had to sit up all night coughing and gasp ing for breath. Great beads of sweat stood out on my forehead from my strenuous efforts of trying to get air, till I fell baok In my chair utterly exhausted, where I lay until another spasm would come on, when I bad to go through tbe same thing, hour alter hour and night alter night. -Noono but my wife and myself knew what I suffered. "Finally, I became so bad I was confined to my bouse. It was Just at this time that I read or the wonderful cure of Mr. Conrad Apel, of North avenue, Allegheny, who was about my age and wboe symptoms resem bled mine, and I wrote out a description of my symptoms and sent it to Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers' office. They sent me medi cine which gave me so much relief that In ,-ix weeks' time I was able to bo taken to their office.

My asthmatic symptoms began to disappear irom that time, and by continued local and Interral treatment 1 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 expeot.

Catarrh of the bead, throat and stomach. Difficult breathing.' Severe headaches and occasional bleeding at tbe nose. Dullness of hearing. Dimness of sight. Pains In the upper part of the chest. The stomach affected, apparently beyond cure. Nausea after eating, belching of gas and bloating, drowsiness after meals, no ambi tion, no energy. A gnawing sensation at the pit of tha stomach, a craving for food disappearing alter n few mouthtuls, are the symptoms of. chronlo dyspepsia. Few interviews printed in these columns better Illustrate tbe progress and extension of aggravated catarrhal and bronchial troubles, extending to tho stomach, perma nently impairing the digestion, than that with Mr. Michael Schaffer, a mill worker, who resides on Penn street, Mt. Oliver. "I had catarrh of the stomach in its most severe form for two years. During all that time it was impossible for me to eat any thing without experiencing terrible agony. "I not only had no desire to eat, but tho sight of food made me 111, and I used to starve myself rather than face the ordeal of taking a meal. Especially was this tba cat for breakfast. "The result was that I grew weak and emaciated, and was utterly unfit for tha performance of any duty. In fact, I did not care to live. "In addition to catarrh of the stomach I had also catarrh of the head and throat There was a continual buzzing and roaring in my ears; my head and nose were stopped up and my throat was so sore I could hardly wallow. I had violent headaches and tha inflammation in my throat seemed to set my whole head afire. "I lost flesh and strength, and was slowly wasting away. My sleep was disturbed by horrid dreams, and I awoke in the-morntng more tired than going to bed. "At last I decided to try Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers. When I went to their offlso I was leeling very badly. Indeed. I began their treatment and now feel as if I had never been sick a day. It seems wonder fuL Not only has the fctarrh disappeared, but my stomach has regained its former strength and tone. I havo an exoellent ap- Eetito and relish my food, and oan eat eartily all the time without tha slightest discomfort. Eating has become once mora a delight. I have gained in weight and strength. I feel as well as I ever did.
