T "sw; THE P2T0?SBURG DISPATCH. TUESDAY. ' SEPTEMBER " 20. 1893. 12 Ul FIGHTfflGIHEPLAGDE. Chamber of Commerce Directors Dis cuss Cholera Prevention. AGAEBAGE DUMP BELOW TBE DAM Undignified Tosition of (lie State in the Ircssnt Crisis. A DEMAND MADE UPON THE GOVERNOR Cholera was the topic discussed by the Chamber of Commerce directors yesterday. Incidentally references were made to gar bage and the undignified position of tho State in being compelled to borrow money ironi private individuals to fight the plague. Hon. Morrison Foster opened the dis cussion by offering a resolution requesting Chiet Bigelow to send the dump boats down the Ohio river beyond the county line to dumo the refuse. Mr. Foster argued in lavor of this that if the present intention to send the boats only a short distance be low the Davis Island dam was followed out, the residents of Sewickley and other points down that way would suffer. Colonel T. P. Uoberts, Dr. Allison and J. D. Bernd favored the adoption of the resolution as a sanitary precaution to the citizens down the river. Mr, J. B. Scott thought that the Beaver county people would objoct if the dump boats were sent into their county to be unloaded. Mr. Scott amended the resolution so as to make the dumping point below Sewickley and the resolution was adopted and referred to the Sanitary Committee for action. Cholera Brought by Immigrants. Colonel T. B. Roberts oflered the follow lowing resolutions: WnKitns. At this time the dreaded plogne o cliole.ru has reached our sea coast, carriod liituerby immigrants Iroui affected com-lniinltio-. in Europe, and, Whereas, Kinm juevlous experience It is known ihat nidi disease Is carried from place to plaCB hy passengers and Immi grants, and as well transported in uiercban-di-e,u:id may become dm man t durins the -nmtrr montlis to be spread about the fol loninir spiing and summer.

The Carnegie Company's Contribution. Mr. J. B. Scott said that he did not think there was any special necessity for the Chamber taking any action of the kind. The speaker had on Sunday night a long talk with Dr. McClelland, a'member of the State Board of Health, as to that body's resources. Dr. McClelland had on Sunday attcruoon received a telegram from Dr. Benjamin F. Lee, the Secretary, stating that it as absolutely necessary for the Board to raise 50,000. Of this amount Dr. Lee asked that ?20,000 be raised 111 Allegheny county and the rest could be raised in the East This matter the speaker and Dr. Mc Clelland discussed at length and they finally agreed to meet yesterday morning to try and adopt some plan whereby the amount asked lor could be raised. On the way to hU office yesterday morning Mr. Scott said tiiat he called on one of Pittsburg's leading citizens nnd on the mere mention of the matter the gentleman relieved all further anxiety by stating that his company would advance the f20,000 aked tor and rely on the State to pay it back. Mr. Scott stated that he had not intended to refer to the natter, but Mr. Roberts' resolution placed him in a position where he was compelled .to make the matter known. The man in question was Mr. H. C Frick and the money was advanced by the Carnegie Com pany. The State's Undignified Position. Mr. Roberts said it was not very dignified on the part of the State to be borrowing money from private citizens in emergences like this. The Governor should reimburse these citizens even before the Legislature meets. It was a shame that Pennsylvania should be so slow even West Vingina had better laws. The resolutions oflered by Mr. Roberts was adopted, as was also the following reso lution offered by Mr. Foster: Uesolved, That the Chamber of Com merce, on behalf of this community, lieieby return thanks to the Carnegie Steel Com pany and IL L. Kriok for their cenerous and piompt advance of $20,000 to the State Board ot Health for the prevention of cholera. Before the meeting adjourned Secretary Follanshee distributed among the members neat volume containing a stenographic report of the banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce at the Duquesne Club on Hav 27.

WElrTEN FOK THE DISPATCH BY ALICE BUTLER, Authob. of "A Rude Atvakening," etc., etc. When Robert Dering and his sister Phoebe first came to live on their moor land farm, they met with one of those de lightfully officious families who are always rea'ly to pounce upon a newcomer with their fussy hospitality. By these peode they were, one Sunday, literally hauled off to high tea, and afterward to church. In the dead calm of the church it was light, being summer time, and service had not begun a boy's critical voice was heard. He was sitting behind Phccbe, surveying her healthy proportions, and his verdict upon her came out clear and striking in the decorous stillness "All fine nnd large." A ripide of amusement had passed over the stolid faces of the congregation, and Phoebe had laughed, and she could laugh at a joUe, even when pointed against herself. And there was no denying the truth of the description. Five feet eight in height; twenty-nine inches round the waist; sevens In gloves so much for the largeness. And as lor the fineness, there was a straight, honest look in her blue eyes, and, at the tametime. an unusual lock of thoughtful ness in them, as if the very abundance of her physical charms had made her purposely rultivate her mind, that she might not be lound to all soft flesh and peach-tinted skin. She was mistress of her brother's farm, mis tress of him and herself, calmly accustomed to ruling and ordering, and conscious that she ruled sensibly and and here was the pleasantest point gracefullv, too. She was alone in the farm house one even ing in January. Eobert had driven to the village, two miles away, in the morning, takiug with him their servant, who was leaving. He was to bring with him another mnid and a friend of his, who was invited to stay three weeks with them. Since he had left, snow had been silently and ceaselessly tailing, until Phoebe was afraid to think how thick it might be on the road across the moor. She was pacing backwards aud forwards DR. KELLOGG'S MISSION. An Eminent Presbyterian Divine Keturn lns to India -Ills "Works and Fast Labors Testimonials That Bear Witness to Past Trinmps in the Cause of Chris tianity. The Rev. Samuel H. Kellogg, D.D., for nine years the popular Professor ot Theol ogy in the "Western Theological Seminary, and since then pastor of St. James' Square Presbyterian Church, Toronto, Canada, is now making his farewell visit in this city, where he is well known, prior to his de parture tor India. He is the -guest of Dr. Henry W. Fulton, East End, his old-time friend, and will be in the city ten days. Dr. Kellogg was a missionary In India from 1864 to 1876 under the care oi the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, when he mastered the Urdu and Hindi lan guage, the former the language of Mohome dans throughout India, spoken by some 60, 000,000 of people. On aocouut of the death of his wife Dr. Kellogg was obliged to re turn to this country with his tour little children, one an infant "When he found himself unable to make any adequate pro vision for his children so as to return to In dia, he resigned his appointment under the board. Immediately afterward, in January, 1877, he was called to the pastorate of the Third Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, greatly to his surprise. He accepted and served the church with marked success for six months, when he was called to the chair of Theology in the "Western Theo logical Seminary, where he began his work in September, 1877. During his professorship in the seminary Dr. Kellogg was kept busy preaching to the leading churches of the city, and in making missionary addresses far and near. He was stated supply to the East Liberty Presbyterian Church one year, where he made a host of friends. He supplied the First Presbyterian Church, of Pittsburg, for two years, when the congregations were very large. Dr. Kellogg is the author ot a grammar of the Hindi and its dialects, written just before he left India, which is now used bv the British Government A second edition will shortly be issued, a book of about GOO pages, royai octavo, 13 dialects. He has also written "The Jews; or Prediction and Fulfill ment" Dr. Kellogg holds that the Hebrews will eventually return to Jerusalem, though he does not undertake to announce the dav and the hour of said return. He has written "The Light of Asia" and "The Light of the World." Dr. Kellogg thinks Arnold deserves all he got in the late news paper controversy. He has written "Are Premillennialists Right?" On this subject Dr. Kellogg holds that not only the good but also the evil are to increase until the Lord comes, but that the final triumph of the good ill only be ushered in by the personal return of the Lord. Dr. Kellogg thinks, when he . sees the awakening in Israel, the rapid advance toward the universal preaching of the gospel, that if these continue the coming of Christ could not well be far oft He has also written "From Death to Resurrection; a Study on the Intermediate State," a sec ond edition oi which has been published. He gave the Stone lectures in Princeton last winter on "The Genius and Growth ot Religion," which will be shortly published in book iorm. He has written many arti cles for the leading revilers and magazines. Two years ago Dr. Kellogg was elected a member oi the committee appointed under the auspices of the British and Foreign Bible Society to revise the Urdu and Hindi translation of the Scriptures. This work permits him to return, as the obstacle on account of health is removed, since he can now do his work on the mountains 7,000 feet above the level of the sea, where the cli mate is as fine if not better than the climate of this country. The Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian church pro vides for his support, 'although special ex pense will be provided for by the power appointing the general .committee. The Doctor takes back with him his wife and four youngest children.leaving three in this country. He expects to put in the coming winter in general evangelistic work in India. He will sail from New York Octo ber 5 on the City of Berlin. He will carry aboard some most beautiful memorials, fare it ell addresses engrossed, and other proofs of affection, given him by his people in Toronto. One of the most beautiful and touching presents was an elegant Russia leather wallet containing a check for$l,300. The Christian Endeavor Society of his church gave him 5100 to buy stereopticon and scripture views, and will also support a native helper at an expense of 570 a year. Dr. Kellogg's pastorate in Toronto was eminently successful. During his ministry over GOO members were added to the church. In leaving such a large and harmonious church, the doctor emphasizes his convic tion as to the importance and honor of for eign mission wojk, which he regards as the great work of the church. He will speak in the East Liberty Presbyterian Church AVednesday evening. The rurnitnro Lockout Begins. Cincinnati, Sept 19. As expected, a lockout of furniture workers began to-dav. The men resolved to not work more than nine hours a day at present 10 hour wages, aud the employers having resolved to not pay 10 hours a day for nine hours, fully 1,500 workmen are to-dsy idle. Their ranks will be increased. irnra coins to Canton, O., stop at the Barnett House; strictly first-class; refitted and refurnished throughout Elesant ample rooms. Kates, $2 00 and $3 CO. in the dining-room, her hands clasped be hind her, the firelight falling upou her sott fair hair, and on a curiously wrought gold collar which clasped the top of her dress. Phoebe called it a torque, but, to the ini tiated, it was an engagement ring. She had asked for it, instead of the ordinary finger ring, as if she were trying to gild her matter-of-fact every day engagement with a touch ot the rare quality of romance. She did sometimes peep longingly into the world of romance, which, to her, bore such an extreme likeness to folly; but she generally came back, frightened, to her old moorings of health, appetite, and the re spectable god of common sense. To-uight she was impatiently surveying the spoiled dainties provided for the guest's tea, when the faintest possible tap at the front door struck on her listening ear. It was followed by an immediate babel of yelpings and barkings from a back kitchen, where half a dozen dogs lay. Phoebe took a lamp from the table, and, going to the door, called through the key hole: "Who is there?" There was no answer. The noise from the kitchen drowned her voice, even to her self; aud, presently, there was another, and much sharper rap. She retreated to the oulkitcben where the dogs were, and selecting a mastiff the image of sulky ferocity from the group, she returned to the front door, and undoing the bolts, she threw it wide open. A white image stood there, probably a mau, but indistinguishable in the darkness. "Who are you?" asked Phoebe, uncere moniously. JIy name is Esmond," replied a voice, which, though strange and querulous, evi dently came from a masculine throat. "Are you going to let rae in?" It was not a very polite way of asking a favor, and was, perhaps, prompted more by the appearance of the dog, than that of his mistress. Phoebe drew the animal back, and the STEEL COAL BARGES. New Departure in River Navigation Made by W. D. Brown's Sons. THE DAT OP WOODEN CRAFT PAST. Some Danger Anticipated From Corrosion by Eulplinr Water, WHERE A SATIXG WILL BE -EFFECTED W. H. Btown Sons have built a steel barge, the first ever constructed, and they expect that it will revolutionize the coal carrying business on the river. The barge was launched yesterday afternoon at the Brown station yards. It is an experiment, and will be tried at the first opportunity. J. F. Hammett, foreman of the Brown shops, superintended tjie job, and he is proud of his work. Captain Sam Brown has left orders that as a barge is needed for coal the steel one shall be used. The barge is 7 feet 0 inches in depth, 135 feet long and 24 feet wide. It is an exact reproduction of a wooden barge in shape and size. It was a thing of beauty as it lay at the wharf yesterday afternoon, and ap peared to bo too fine Cor its surroundings and intended use. The idea is Captain Harry Brown's. When the barge was launched it went straight into the water without being twisted, as frequently hap pens to the wooden ones. This shows its great strength and stability. The only thing Mr. Hammett is afraid of is the sulphur in the water. In the upper pools it is plentiful, but the danger from this corrosive substance will be greatly reduced in the lower river. A Large Saving on Kepalrs. The expense of building and repairing barges every year is a big item to the river coal men. Most of the large operators keep on hand from 300 to 400 wooden barges. One of these costs f 1.400 to build, and its life is on an average 10 years. In that time the repairs will amount to another 51,400. Aft er every trip the barges are weakened nnd they require constant caulking. The Browns build annually about 25 new barges. ' The steel barge cost a good deal more than was necessary, as the men had to be taught and considerable experimenting to get the best results was done. It is esti mated that the steel cratt will cost three times the wooden ones, but it is believed it will last from 25 to 50 years, it not longer, and in that timewill not need much repairing, so that in the long run the Browns think the steel barge will be the cheapest The new barge can only be wrecked by running into a bridge pier, which is the constant menace ot pilots along the Ohio river. If the barge sinks It will lie in the same place, and with its cargo can be raised Woodeu barges in wrecks frequently go to pieces, and the coal is scattered and never recov ered. Often a barge will sink and will float ofl, leaving its cargo behind. The only wood about the new barge is a sort of rim around the top to protect the sides and receive the shocks from collisions. A bole can be punched in the bottom and the sides, but it can be easily repaired. Should a steel barge stick on a sandbar it can be pulled ofl without much damage. Will Soon Hi c a Steel Fleet If the barge should prove a success, the Browns intend to gradually replace all their wooden ones. Tbey will build about ten per year until the' old barges are all used up. They have no intention of going into their manulacturc except for them selves. Other coal operators are not expected for some years to come to adopt the steel barge on account of the original cost, but it is believed they will finally adopt them. J. Morrow Arnold, the confidential man of the firm, explained that in recent years timber has greatly advanced in price. There was a time when lumber was cheap, but the price has increased from 13 cents per cnbic foot to 20 cents. This is what makes the wooden barges so expensive. The logs at this rate are very small als,o. The trees have been cut down away from the streams and it costs a great deal more to send the timber to -market than formerly. Mr. Arnold is enthusiastic over the new barge and he confidently ex pects that it will prove satisfactory. There is on the surface no reason why it should not be a success unless the sulphur will corrode the bottom sooner than anticipated. The Browns have employed always more than 100 men building and repairing barges.' This will give some idea of the expense. There are never less than from 20 to 30 on the docks and during the busy seasons the delays are costly. An ugly cough, even1 when it appears deep-seated, can be alleviated, if not imme diately removed, by Dr. D. Jayne's Ex pectorant, a popular aud long-established remedy for bronchial and asthmatic affec tions, and for 50 years an approved helper for all lung complaints.

The stranger their expected guest, whom Phoebe had never seen before stood look ing at her, his teeth chattering, his small eyes expressing a scarcely subdued irrita tion. A traveling cap was tied on his head, and there were fur-lined gloves on his hands, but the coat that was buttoned tight ly across his chest was an ordinary indoor coat, and soaked with snow. "I have walked from between Eltham and Ilsley," he said. "There ias a fall of suow on the line, and tbe train was stopped." "And vou have walked all that way?" exclaimed Phoebe, "six miles at least," in this country, and without a top coat?" Her voice dropped a. little at this last item; jet she could not suppose that a well known London barrister would travel in mid-winter without a top coat from neces sity. "There was a woman with a thin shawl on in the train," he explained. "Tnere al ways is if you have only one top coat aud norng." "How dreadful. Come into the dining room. What shall I do with you?" She turned round to face Mr. Esmond again, as she involuntarily put the last question. "Well," he said, with an undoubted flash of the small eyes. "Suppose you keep me here to talk to me?" Phoebe meekly led the way to the dining room. Her cheeks burned at the rebuke which that ever-present common sense of hers told her was well deserved. When they had both reached the dining room hearth rug she turned to him again with the intention of suggesting hot brandy and instant retirement, but she found the words taken out of her mouth. "Could you give me some whisky?" he asked. "Yes, and after that I think you had bet ter go to bed at once. There is a fire in your room." She ran tho words off quickly, as she walked to the sideboard for the whisky, thankful to get in a suggestion which should prove to him that he need not have to ask lor everything. "That'is better." "And you bad better have a hot bath first," she suggested, brightly, beginning to feel more like herself, now that she was taking the helm again. "I should be very glad. I am soaked through, I believe. Will you add some JENKINS FEELS HAPPY. He Gives nn Account of His Hand-to-Hand Fight With the Scourge at Quar antineHe Thinks He Has Won the Victory. New York, Sept 19. Special In a 'talk to the reporters at Quarantine about the situation as it now is aud as it has been, Dr. Jenkins said: Although I am pretty well tired out, I feel to-day very content and happy. In a week more we shall have completed our work. In a large measure. The stoppage of all steer age traffic is a great safeguard. The greatest dangor now is from infected cargoes, par ticnlarly from Hamburg, such as woolen fabrics, gunnysacks and the like. Eaoh new ship presents a new problem in disinieotion because of the variety of the cargoes and be cause certain articles are liable to injury from certain disinfectants. A sorions drawback in connection with the administration of quarantine has been that upon this department was plaoed the Sassing of all merchandise, the Custom ouse refusing to land articles without special permits from me. The bay was filled last week with steamshins from every part of the world, and a deputy health officer lias had to board eacli vessel and to take a state ment from each passenger. We have been giving special permits, showing that each passencer was free from infection. Of course there has been much dissatisfaction among the people on the ships and their triends.but that cannotbe helped; and where the lives of thousands aio nt stako a few must suffer some inconvenience. lhavebeon much annoyed by constant requests from people who wnnted to ro aboard tho quarantined ships and stay. To all this I have returned refusals, except in one case, whore a girl went on tbe Kugia to take caro of hor sister who was dying there. Another case of complaint was the want of fresh water, drinking water, but this was due to tbe refusal of water1 boats to go alongside infected ships. There are many other matters complained of enough to make a big book but every effort has been exerted to make things as easy as possible for the detained passengers, and at the same time every precaution has been taken. The captains were Instructed In sanitary matters, such as burning all infected mat ter, guarding against such being thrown overboard and protecting the crews from in fection. Competent physicians were placed aboard all the vessels. In fact, we have fought out the fight with every weapon in tho arsenal ot medicine and of common sense, and I believe now that I may say we have won. LATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

Phcebe silently added the whisky, and then stood looking at the man as he drank it, an image of large slightly offended be nevolence, facing the small fox terrier of a man, who, unconscious of her undisturbed sovereignty of 20 years, implied a criticism of her capability in every audacious sug gestion. There was a slight air of dandyism, she noticed, about the perfect fit ot his black clothes and his closely trimmed fair hair. He was standing at some distance from the fire, not wishing to steam himself proba bly. "Eobert will bo wondering where you are," she said., "Will he? Well, I could tell him. I am in discomfort" "Couldn't you have a hot bath, and then come down to have something to eat?" sug gested Phcebe, anxiously. "You must' be dreadfully hungry." "Thank you, I am not hungry at all," he 'said, and Phoebe noticed that it was his first "thank yon" since he came in. He laid down his empty glass on the table and stood hesitating a moment aud, sudden ly, there leaped into Phoebe's eyes a new look of halt-startled inquiry. He watched her silently with a look ot almost humor ous defiance in his small eves. Then he quietly drew from bis vest pocket a large gold watch and opening the case at the back he held it out for her inspection. She caught a glimpse of "Frederic Esmond" and below the name an inscrip tion of some kind which she did not read. "I beg your pardon. I did wonder tor a moment if you were you. "I may have murdered Frederio Esmond, and brought his watch with me, to rob your house," ne said, returning the watch to his pocket. "I'm afraid you'll have to take the chance." He held out a hand to her, so small and delicate, and, at that moment so very, verv cold, that Phcebe involuntarily pressed it's iciness in her own warm palm, as she held "The door ot your room is open; you will easily find it," she said. "Have you no men servants in the house to protect you?." he asked, pausing a moment at the doorto put the question. "There are ten dogs in the house." "Oh." He disappeared. Phcebe heard his light tread going up the steps, and she closed the dining room door, and returned to her chair by the fire to consider if it were really she who had been ordered about by the frozen HEW ADYERTI-EJIKNTS.

She wondered what he would say, next day, when he discovered that there was not even a maid in the house, besides them selves. Then suppose Kobert did not re turn to-morrow? He would never suppose that their guest would be with her; and if this snow continued, it would be impossible for him to cross the moors. How Mr. Es mond had managed to get across them was a mystery to her; for, to Phrabe, accustomed to her six foot brother, Mr. Esmond, who was, really, iust half an inch less than her self, was diminutive. Gradually the hot fire made her feel more lazy and more comfortable. She concluded that Mr. Esmond would probably be able to entertain himself; and, if he continued ill tempered, they should quarrel that would be a form of entertainment. Next morning Phoibe was up in good time. She had done all tbe necessary farm work, had passed about the house with her light step and energetic movements, doing the work ot the absent maid, and ahad, finally prepared a breakfast as perfect in its cooking and appointments as anything that 1 any cross mau could fiud in the city of London. Then she felt satisfied that she had done her dutv. Every siucle thins about the house was prepartd for the scrutiny of the stranger's sharp eyes, lrom the brightly glowing fire up to the blue serge dress that fitted her figure so neatly and showed its graceful, generous curves so well. She had hear d him come downstairs, and she came into the dining room herself, the kettle full of boiling water in her hand, and peace and reconciliation in her heart She found Mr. Esmoud standing on the hearth-rug so thoroughly transformed from his last night's appearance that all her peace-making feelings disappeared, to moke room for a wonder if he knew that Bhe had come into the room prepared to forgive him. His clean-shaven face bore a look of the quietest good-humor indeed, it was even rather a fat face, she noticed, wilh a feeling ot astonishment that such a comfortable quality as fatness should be associated with Mr. Esmond at all. "Good morning, Miss Dering," he said, taking tbe little kettle from Phccbe'a hand and placing it on the fire. "Good morning," she said in subdued tones. "Yon seem much much warmer." He smiled a little, as he stood on the rug, his hands clasped behind him, his clear, small, self-satisfied, blue eyes following her movements critically. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. STARTING ON ONE DOLLAR.

TRADE AT "Are you without maid?" he asked, plac ing chairs at'the table. "Yes, I am so sorry. Eobert wa3 to bring one with him from Eltham." "Then who will look alter the cattle to day?" He had seated himself in his chair, and was leaning one elbow on the back of it, appearing to be exceedingly at his ease in his novel situation. "We have only two cows and some'poul try." said Phcebe. "They are all fed for to-day until evening." "You have been out this morning and fed them?" "Yes. Why not? It isn't my work, usually, but I can do it." His eyes went from her upright figure, where she stood by the window, to the fire, ami rested there consideratlvely. It was a pretty game ihev were playing, that of studying each other. There is no game in whicli one is apt to learn so much about one's self. Mr. Esmond, having his eyes on the fire, was the first to see the water boil. He took the coffee-pot from the table, and, going to the fire, filled it with the boiling water. Phccbe went round to her end of the table, and sat down. "Shall I pour out the coffee?" she asked. bending forward, and sending an innocent challenge from her blue eyes to his, at the other end of the table. "You might as well," he replied, laugh in?, and accepting the challenge. It was like s crossing of lances, that one glance from the one to the other, unconsci ous enough, on her part, though he knew well enough what the preliminary clash of steel meant. How many of these smokeless battles had he fought not often with zest, but mostly because they happened to come in his way, Phoebe fortunately could not see. Yet he was not a male flirt by any means, but, at bottom', one of those men for whom their fellow men have even a good word. Women differed about him, because they saw only the surface of his character; men set him down briefly, ai of the rizht sort Now and then Phoebe glanced surrepti-. tiously across at her companion, as she ate her porridge. "Much older than she had thought him to be nearly 40," she de cided, in one ot these glances. That was satisfactory to her she did not like a cal low youth. She was not sure whether she liked his face or not It struck her, hazily, as being one of those faces which do not by any means belong to the saints of the world, but rather to those who love it, as a dwell ing place, far above any dreams of heaven.

Phcebe glanced at tho window, through which could be seen nothing but the endless whirl of falling snow. "I'm afraid he won't" "If this continues we shall be snowed up for a week or two."

A healthy body will much sooner withstand the rav ages of contagious diseases, Cholera, La Grippe, etc., than a weak frame. The genuine Johann HofTs Malt Ex tract is acknowledged in this respect to be the best tonic beverage and is especially recommended for invalids, where a delicate yet strengthening tonic is necessary to build up a de bilitated constitution. One dozen bottles of Johann HofiTs Malt Extract are equal in nutritive And tonic qual ities to one cask of Ale or Porter, without being intoxicating. It is beneficial alike for man, woman or child. Prof. Prosper De Pietra Santa, of Paris, says: "As a large number of patients lack the necessary power to digest solid food, and would through the use of stimulants be merely ex cited and weakened, therefore I re gard it of immense value to the practitioner to bring to his aid a nutritious tonic and remedy like the Johann HofTs Malt Extract, which will act not only as a tonic, but as a nutrient as well, and which is less exciting than wine as a stimulant" Be sure to obtain the genuine, which has the signature of "Johann Hoff" on the neck of every bottle.
