CHAPTER III.
But Dick Wheeler did not so easily
resign the hope that Mary would ac
cept him.- In his slow, honest, deliber
ate way, he went all over the situation
in his own mind. , He .knew Don's
worth, and he felt, as had everybody
who had come .in contact with him, the
attraction of itha young fisherman's
weet, kind, careless nature. He knew
all that with no jealousy or bitterness;
with only a sober, kindly acceptance of
the fact. He admitted the loyalty of
Mary's heart, "and I like her all the
better," he said to himself stoutly. He
even realized. In an exact; reasoning
way, the force of Mary's ideal of Don;
"and the longer she waits, the more
she'll care for him," he thought, sober
ly. He must not lose any time, that
was clear. So he tried a dozen loving
artifices; he called not too often. He
carried fruit to Mrs. Hayes; he sent
Sitting Alone on the Dcacli,
books to Mary; and after awhile, to
put her at ease, he talked to her about
Don. and showed the affection which
he had always felt for him.
It all seemed so natural to Mary that
she began to feel, as he meant that she
should, that he was a friend.
"He's forgotten all that nonsense!"
she told herself, and grew to depend on
his friendship. She was quite unem
barrassed when she chanced to be alone
with him: if he met her as she was
walking home from school, or if he
found her sitting -alone on the beach,
her hands locked about her knees, her
eyes in the far line of the horizon, be
hind which Don's sails had dimmed,
and dipped, and disappeared forever.
Another year passed in' .this way.
Dick never spoke, but he went on lov
ing. When at last he tried to speak,
her perfect friendliness closed his Hps.
"I'd better get shipwrecked," he told
himself with, a little bitterness which
was foreign to his patient nature; "if I
was dead, she's think more of me." He
did not give up hope, but he was dis
couraged. He hardly knew himself
how deeply so, for he was surprised to
find himself half sick, and by and by,
altogether sick "down with a fever,"
his man said, when he came to bring a
pair of chickens to Mrs. Hayes' door,
and explain that Mr. Wheeler couldn't
come himself.
"Poor boy!" cried Mrs. Hayes, anx
iously; "and not a wife nor a mother to
take care of him. Well, there, Mary,
It is too bad!" Mary looked sorry, and
the next day she went to inquire about
him.
"Well, he's worse," said the hired
man, laconically. Mary took the news
back to Don's mother, and was very si
lent. " 'Bout time to be concerned," old
Mrs. Hayes thought, severely, but that
was only for a moment. "Poor child,"
she said to herself, "she's worried about
him!" "There, now, Mary, cheer up,"
she said aloud. "I guess it ain't nothln'
very bad."
"I don't know," Mary answered, "I
hope not. But I'm afraid it is." And
then, later In the evening, when they
had been talking of something else, she
said, suddenly: "He hasn't a soul to
look aft.r him, except that stupid
Jacob."
Mrs. Hayes looked at her Inquiringly.
"1 just wish," said Mary, tremulously,
"that you and I could"
"Why, bless your heart," cried the
old woman, "we will! I know what
you're going to say we'll go right up
there tomorrow. I don't know why I
didn't think of it first"
Good nursing is 'well enough' In its
way, but when added to good nursing
the invalid hears a voice that he loves,
talking outside his door, 'to his little,
old, kind nurse, or is told that "Mary
made that gruel," or watches, dream
ily, through feverish eyes, Mary mov
ing about his room, or even feels her
touch upon his forehead why, he can
not help get well. At least that was
what Dick Wheeler said, first to him
self, and afterward, shyly and awk
wardly, when he was better and was
sitting up, to Mary. But, poor fellow!
Mary's blank look almost landed him
back in his bed again. He began to
realize, in a slow, pathetic way, that if
she had been less kind he might have
had more hope. "And Don dead seven

years!" he told himself, as he sat
propped up with pillows in a big, black
wooden rocking chair that had roses
painted on the head rest, and gay cal
lco sleeves tied over its stiff arms.
It was a soft spring afternoon; he
was much better; Mrs. Hayes and
Mary had gone home, and only came in
for an hour or two each day to see that
he was comfortable. It was Mrs,
Hayes who had packed him snugly into
the big chair in the south window, and
put a footstool under his feet, and
drawn a little table with his medicine
and a glass of water close to his side
"Jacob'll help you back to bed, Dicky,
as soon as you feel tired; now, mind,
don't sit up a minute longer than you
feel like It! And I'll come In tomorrow
morning and bring some beef tea.
Mary'B great on nuking beef tea.
When she went away Dick sat there
in the sunshine, looking out of the win
dow. He made up his mind that he
must get over thinking about Mary;
there was no use; It only worried her,
"and It kills me," he though simply.
He wondered If he could always feet so
dully Indifferent to everything, Just be
cause he couldn't have Mary? The sun
was warm on the grassy slope In front
of the house; a big vessel, coming slow-
ly up the river with the tide, leaned,
and her white topsails swelled and
gleaned and flapped loose again; the
trees at the foot of the garden showed
a faint mist of green; a pigeon wheeled
and fluttered down to the doorstep and
sat preening Itself and pufflng out its
white breast. The feeling of spring,
and Joy and promise was In the air.
"And I don't care a darn!" Dick
groaned to himself. "Well, I've got to
get over this. I'll go away; I'll get out
of It; Mary shan't know why; I'll let
her think I've never thought of her
since the lost time I spoke. Good Lord
it was two or three years ago! and
I've not gained an inch with her." And
then he opened his eyes, and saw Mary
coming lip the path; she was on her
way home from school, and stopped to
know how he was getting along.
"Look at you, you careless fellow,"
she scolded, "you've dropped that
shawl off your knees; what would
Mother Hayes say?"
"Oh, Mary," he said, and somehow
the tears stood in his eyes, he was so
weak, "I I've got to go away!"
Mary's instant look of concern, and
light touch upon his wrist, showed
what she thought of such crazy words,
and poor Dick gulped and tried to get
back to his resolution not to tell her.
"I don't know why I said that I didn't
mean to," he told her.
"You are tired," she said, soothing.
ly, "you've been sitting up too long."
"Nothing of 'the sort," Dick1 answered,
croBsly. "I am only tired of this busi
ness! Good Lord! Mary there! I
can't help it; will you take me? I didn't
mean to ask again; I was Just saying I
wouldn t when you came up the path.
Mary, will you take me? If you won't,
I'm going off. I've stood -this Just as
long as I'm going to."
Poor Mary turned red and white with
pity. "Oh, Dick!" she said.
'You know he's dead and gone; you're
only making another men miserable;
and and you'd be happier yourself." .
"Of course he's dead," she said, trem
ulously, "that isn't it; It's because I
I shall always love Don!" she burst
out, and then fell to crying; and Dick
swore at himself and was ready to tell
her that he didn't care the least In the
world for her if it would comfort her
any.
But nothing comforted her. She went
home along the river road in the pleas

mother to know she had been crying,
so left) the path and sat down under a
little pine tree that clutched at the
rocks and stretched its starved, lean
branches out over the tumbling foam
below- She and Don had often sat
here and listened to the steady beat of
the waves on the broken rocks. The
light paled and faded, and the sea
grew gray and cold; far off a sail leaned
like a wing against the sky and caught
a sudden flush from the glow in the
west. How often she had watched Don's
boat beating in, when the twilight was

hr .to marry, him? The; sea was quite
dark, except where a faint wreath of
white came and want where the waves
broke on the rocks. How dear and
kind Don had been; how full of laugh
ter; how simple and tiusting; how care
less and good-natured; she remembered
this or that drollery, this or that dear
unreasonableness; a hundred tender
nesses. No wonder she loved him; to love
such a man was enough for one girl's
life, she thought. And yet, Dick Wheel
er had thought she might marry him! .
"But I've been true," she protested
to herself, as If in excuse. Then she
turned back to the path, and went on
to the little gray house. "Don thought
it wasn't as nice as Dick's," . she
thought, half smiling; "well, you see,
I've chosen it, anyhow," she said, half
aloud, as thought he were beside her.
She saw the kitchen door open and
shut, and heard a burst of laughter.
"Why, who is here at., this time of
night?" she thought. . And then she
saw that there were people in the door-
yard, and two figures at the gate sud
denly. saw her, and came running
towards her:
"Mary, he's back! Mary! Don's
home!"
Mary stood still at the gate; she was
perfectly silent. Eager hands clutched
her and would have pulled her along
the path. "He's home! He's back, My;
do you hear? He's back; he says he's
been meaning to come these five years;
but he's been on three voyages."
Like a woman walking In her sleep,
Mary was pushed to the door, which
swung open again to admit these
friendly on-lookers, who had come to
rejoice with those that did rejoice.
Afterwards she did not know whether
she saw him or not; the kitchen was
crowded. She heard Mrs. Hayes laugh
ing and crying, and saying:
"And Mary's been true to you ibut
not because she hasn't had chances.
But why didn't you ever write to her?"
And then a voice, a voice from the
grave, a dead voice, that made Mary
thrill with horror; a voice that made
her heart quiver, as though the founda
tions of the Bolld earth moved and
melted a hearty, kindly voice, aald:
"Well, I was always meaning to"
and, somehow, she turned and slipped
away between the pushing. Jostling,
congratulating friends; slipped out Into
the night, and ran, stumbling, crying,
Bhlverlng, away from the house of Joy
and thanksgiving. ,
Dick Wheeler was certainly tired
enough to have Jacob help him back to
bed; but Jacob was at the grocery store
listening, open-mouthed,' to the story
of Donald Hayes' return; so the young
man sat in the darkneBS, feeling miser
ably faint and miserably unhappy. He
wished Jacob would come; he wished he
had a lamp; he wished he had some
supper; he wished Mary would be kind-,
er. And then he drew a long breath,
and set his lips, ashamed of his unman
ly Irritability, his cowardly collapse.
Some one knocked, but did not wait
for his "Come in" to push the door open
and enter. It was Mary; she came
right tq his chair and knelt down and
took one of his big, thin, gentle hands
in hers.
"Dick he's come back. Don's alive.
And and and, Dick, take me, please.
I want you; because Don's alive,"
(The End.)

purity, and It was a tieat to hear him ren
der an old Irish air, which he did in in
imitable style.
Coleridge delivered his philosophic ut
terances in an uninteresting monotone,
that late In life became an almost unin
telligible mumble.

OBSOLETE FILAMENTS.
Bamboo Is Nowadays No Longer Used for
the Parpoa. .
The great Edison incandescent lamp
works are no longer turning out lamps
with bamboo filaments. This simple fact
covers a whole period without a pare!
lei for Indefatigable research and cease
less Invention. When the art of mak
ing Incandescent lamps began fifteen
years ago, all kinds of carbonlzable
substances were diligently experiment
ed with wood, paper, silk, hair, putty
and Edison has stated that he has
mode no fewer than 3,000 separate tests
of such materials before he settled fin
ally on bamboo as the best for reduc
tion to carbon and for subsequent dur
ability. .
But there are many different varie
ties of bamboo, and Edison ransacked
the earth in the quest for the kinds
having the toughest, stralghtest fibers.
His emissaries visited all the tropical
quarters of the globe, penetrating to
regions up the Amazon, In India and
Japan, never before reached by an
American. The result of their adven
turous discoveries was the selection of
a species of Japanese bamboo, which
has been used until very recently.
Now newer processes have come to
the front, and bamboo gives way to
paper as the basis of the delicate black
filament that glows golden when the
current passes through It. We are said
to be on the eve of cheaper lamps, due
not alone to improved manufacture,
but to foreign competition. The expect
ed arrival of 75,000 German lamps In
New York was noted the other day, al
though In England, lamp dealers, after
using them, have begun to advertise
their lamps a.i "not of German make."
HOW CITESJJET MILK.
Description of the Scenes at the
Creameries at Early Morning-A Few
Facts About the Cheese Industry.
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Montrose, April 19. I doubt very
much if the average user of milk In the
city ever thinks of the source of his
supply of lacteal fluid or how It Is sent
him, save when he is awakened at an
unearthly hour In the morning by the
resonant cry of "meouk" issuing from
the lips of the milkman, or when .that
excellent lunged Individual presents
his bill and perhaps occasionally when
a vague Idea of a mild faced cow pre
sents Itself.
In many small towns through which a
railroad runs enterprising wholesalers
of milk have established creameries and
milk stations.
The farmers of the section surround
ing twice dally bring their milk to
these establishments, where the -cans
In which it Is brought are immediately

the temperature of the milk which Is
but a trifle lower than animal heat, to
about 38 degrees Farenhelt.
Certain mllklngs are noted for their

The cream is separated from the milk
In a separator by centrifugal force.
The residuum of a separator Is what
we, of the city, term "sky blue," and
in the country is known as "skim milk."
Skimmed Cream Cheese.
At one milk station known to the
writer, an Italian takes their entire
production of skim milk and makes
several grades of cream cheese from It,
even going so far as to make imitations
of Butlro, Cacclocarallo, Muzzarelleand
Provole Serfmate famous goat's milk
Italian cheeses.
At the milk stations some days the
supply exceeds the demand, so after all
orders have been filled the milk is
separated from the cream and made
into butter.
At all well-regulated creameries and
milk stations milk Is tested regularly.
The Babcock test Is ordinarily used, as
it is considered by experts to be the
fairest and most accurate test known.
The manner of testing Is simple, a
small glass caraffe with an exceedingly
long neck Is used In It Is placed a cer
tain amount of milk, to which Is added
the correct measured proportion of sul
phuric acid. Ordinarily from fifteen to
twenty tests are made at a time.
The milk is Immediately precipitated
to a dullish red hue and becomes, from
Its contact with the oil of vltrol ex
ceedingly warm.
The caraffes are placed In a revolving
cylinder, which Is operated by a crank
turned by hand.
The Genesis of Butter.
Four minutes suffices the completion
of stage number one, when the glass
receptacles are filled nearly full with
boiling water, and again subjected to
a further spin in the cylinder. When
the proper time has elapsed the caraffes
are removed and on the long, slender
necks of the diminutive decanters is
observed the fatty substance which the
centrifugal motion has forced to the
top of its contents. The necks are pro
portioned, or measured, in proper deci
mals, showing per hundred pounds of
milk the exact amount of butter It will
make.
The law claims 3 pounds 6 ounces,
and milk should average this amount,
however, when cows are new milkers,
that is cows who have recently given
birth to calves, predominate in a dairy,
the milk will never test as high as
those known as old milkers.
A recent test, witnessed by the writer,
showed some milk which would only
make 2 pounds 6 ounces butter per
hundred pounds, while others varied,
some testing as high as 4 pounds 8
ounces.
Each day these creameries or milk
stations ship their compliment to the
cities. A car is placed at the switch
running close to the building, and the
large cans of milk, each containing
forty quarts, are loaded. The cans are
made particularly for the milk traffic,
and in a few hours reach their destination-

Vital Meaning of
The Messianic Idea.
Rabbi Fuerlicht Outlines the Importance
Of This Belief to All Humanity.. .
Below will be found the Instructive
text of a lecture delivered last Sunday
evening at the Linden street temple by
Rabbi J. Feuerllcht- "Hope," said the
speaker, "Is the great comforter of
men. It Is the twin sister of courage,
and both united have sped mankind on
Its triumphal march toward the Ideal.
At the root of every Improvement In
mind and matter lies the restless long
ing, the undying hope of man; and the
achievement of the past gives us the
glad assurance that still greater glory
is in store for those who will come after
us.
"From this gladsome nature of man
has sprung the Messlanio idea and ideal
In every age. The religious Messianic
Idea of mankind Is of Jewish birth. The
literal meaning of the Hebrew word
Mashiach" (Messiah) and the Greek
'Christ" is "annointed." Every king
In Judea was called "Mashiach" be
cause he had to be annointed with oil
before he ascended to the throne. Along
with the Bible the great treasure of
men the Jew - gave to the world its
hopes and Ideals of a future and better
existence. It Is not a matter of mere
accident that the two great religions,
Christianity and Mohammedanism,
grew on Jewish soil, and that the seed
they planted, the ideas they spread,
were the product of Jewish culture and
civilization.
Its Olden Political Meaning.
"The Messianic Idea of the cider type
Is purely of a political nature. Of
course, it Is religious at the same time,
because originally the state and re
ligion were one. The Jewish common
wealth was a theocracy. It was only
at times of danger and misfortune that
the prophets proclaimed their Mes
sianic hopes. Whenever the reins of
government were held by the hands of
a strong sovereign, who kept the ene
mies of Israel at bay, we hear nothing
of a Messiah to come.
"Amos, who lived during the reign
of the powerful Jeroboam the second,
knows nothing of a personal Messiah.
Isaiah, who lived under the weak and
timid Ahaaz and Hezeklah, when the
kingdom of Judah was tributary to
Sennacherib, king of Syria, proclaims
the advent of a Messiah, who would
again build up Judah. In the ancient
tlmo he who would strengthen the king
dom and protect It against invasion
was looked upon as the Messiah the
annointed of God. After the destruc
tion of the first Jewish commonwealth
and during the seventy years that the
Jews were captives in Babylon, their
most ardent desire and hope was the
coming of a Messiah; and the Mesgiah
did come In the person of Cyrus,
heathen king of Persia, who was called
by the second Isaiah the Messiah of
God (Isaiah xlv, 1.), because he not
only permitted the Jews to return from
captivity to Palestine, but he also as
sisted them In re-building the temple
and restoring their commonwealth.
Cyrus performed what the Messiah was
expected to do he gave back to the
Jews their national Independence,
hence Isaiah did not scruple to call him
the Messiah of God, although he was a
heathen. Strictly speaking, therefore,
the Christian idea of a Messiah as one
who was to die to save sinners has no
foundation in the Bible; and all those
passages In the Bible which, from a
chronological point of view, have been
made to that reference have simply
been misinterpreted and twisted ffom
their context and natural meaning.
The Messiahshlp of Josus.
Nor do we believe that Jesus ever In
tended to be more than a Messiah in a
strictly Jewish sense of the word and
for the Jews only. Nor was it ever His
intention to transcend the bounds of
nationality. When the Canaanltish
women came to Him, He said: "It is
not meet to take the bread from the
children of the house and cast it to
d6gs. I'm not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel." These
lost sheep of the house of Israel were
His own nearest countrymen, the
Galilleans, According to the only his
torical account, Jesus was born In
Nazareth of Galilee.
"From the Talmud we know that the
Galileans were the most Ignorant, Il
literate and Irreligious people of Pales
tine. Being separated from Judea and
the temple by Samaria, through which
no Jew ever passed, they gradually
lapsed into neglect of all the Jewish
precepts and ceremonies, and grew to
be looked upon as sinners and outcasts
by their strict conforming brethren of
the Pharisaic sect, to which Jesus be
longed. Between the Pharisees (Cha
berlm) and their Illiterate brethren a
Chinese wall had been cast up. It was
looked upon as a sin to associate with
them, to dwell under the same roof
with them, or to cot with them. To
these poor and neglected children of
the house of Israel Jesus' soul went out.
As a true, conscientious Jew, It grieved
Him at heart to have His countrymen.
His nearest kin, lost or thruBt from the
house of Israel; and He therefore
turned all His energies to bring them
back again Into the fold. What more
proof of this can we ask than His warn
ing to. His followers: 'Go ye not in the
way of the heathens, nor Into the cities
of the Samaritans.' His mission was to
the poor, down-trodden and outcast,
whom He called the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. He may have believed
that He was the messenger of God and
that in Him the Messianic conditions
and hopes of His times were fulfilled,
but all this makes Him no more and no
less than a Jew and a child of His
times.
Jesus and the Talmud.
"Whatever Is true In the teachings of
Jesus is found and can be paralleled In
the Talmud and in other past Biblical
literature of the Jews. I challenge any
one to show me a single word or maxim
in the sermon on the mount which is
not already contained in the Talmud.
Now the sermon on the mount contains
the most significant doctrine that Jesus
ever taught, and still there Is not a
Blngle word In It which is not strictly
Jewish, and cannot be fully subscribed
to even by the strictest orthodox Jew,
'Had It not been for Paul, Jesus and
His followers would simply have been
known as the adherents of HUlel and
his sect. It was Paul who cut the cord
asunder that linked the teachings and
followers of Jesus to Judaism.. The
doctrines that he taught are indeed un-
Jewlsh any un-Blbllcal. The doctrine
that all men are doomed to sin, In con
sequence of the fall of Adam; second,
that Jesus alone was free from sin, and
thirdly, that salvation is only possible
for those who believe in Jesus these
tenets of Paulina Christianity are the
flattest contradiction of prophetic Juda
ism. Prophetic Judaism teaches simply
the possibility, and not the necessity, of
sin. The Bible says: "Sin lletb at the
door, but thou canst, thou shalt rule
over It,' (Genesis, lv, 7). Every man Is
his own redeemer and Is morally re
sponsible for his acts. No one shall
suffer for the sins of another (each man
shall suffer for his own sins,' Deut.,
xxlv, 16.) . Man's moral responsibility
and his personal mastery of sin and
selfishness Is his only moral gift, and
his sole title to nobility, according to
Judaism. .
Paul's Teachings Disproved.
"The Jew lived and suffered to prove
the utter falsehood of the Pauline
doctrine that man must sin. The
Christian church tortured and burned
the Jew, but it could not make htm sur
render his faith In God. It could not
rob him of his conviction that man
was born to moral purity, righteousness
and love. It could not force upon him
the dootrlne of eternal damnation to
sin and punishment. In a word, the
whole world could not force the Jew
against his own conscience. Jews were
oppressed and persecuted everywhere,
but Judaism lived all the more In the
heroism of Its martyrs. For one mar
tyred Jesus, our history has perpetuat
ed the names of millions of martyred
Jews, who suffered and died as nobly.
For one cross of conviction, the Jew
can point to millions of crosses, and
Instead of the blood of Him who died
on Calvary, the Jew points to the
streams of every ageand clime, that
have run red with the precious blood of
his ancestors and we live today to pro
claim the moral freedom of man de
spite sin and necessity.
"Our Ideal is not a personal Messiah,
but a .Messianic age and goal to which
all men shall contribute alike with
Israel. Our ideal Is not to save man
kind hereafter from sin, but to lift man
up here on earth to the consciousness
that he Is called to righteousness, and
to strengthen him to perform Its be
hests. Our ideal of the Messianic age
Is when all men, no matter what their
creed, will be united on the broad basis
of humanity, which means the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man.
The Messianic Ideal.
"This conception of the Messiah was
shared by the prophets of old and by
the rabbis of the Talmud, who teach
'The pious and the righteous of every
race or creed will secure the blessings
of eternal salvation,' not by faith, but
by good deeds and noble acts toward
their fellowmen. 'And God will be king
over all the earth.' This means, that
In the Messianic age there will be no
atheism, skepticism, agnosticism and
materialism. This means, further,
there will be no monarchies, no thrones,
and hence no wars of conquestB and no
revolutions. Whenever the pure belief
In God Is general, there is no room for
idolatry, superstition, fanaticism, re
ligious hatred and prejudice.
"Now, while this happy consumma
tion is not yet at hand, the dawn of the
new day, the morning is coming, and
night is slowly vanishing. Science,
progress, culture and civilization are on
the Increase everywhere. Sectarian
prejudice and bigotry are resented by
the governments, by the press and pul
pit of every intelligent country. We see
the ethical part of religion gaining at
the expense of the dogmatical and cere
monial. We see Christian and Jewish
ministers coming together to exchange
peaceably their religious views, and are
striving to establish the common
brotherhood of man. By bands of Iron
and steel, by the Interests of commerce
and Industry, by material and intel
lectual pursuits, the wide world is ren
dered one world. The message of
peace and concord, is with light
ning speed flashed from one
continent to another. The border
land of creed Is widening day by day.
And particularly in this blessed country,
the virgin soil of true liberty, men and
women of the highest culture recognize
their common humanity as a higher In
centive and aspiration than the inci
dental claims of sect or creed; and
while human civilization has not
reached its pinnacle, and the struggle
Is by no means ended yet, and Israel's
mission as watchman for mankind's
highest treasures is not yet fulfilled,
let us yet be satisfied that we are com
ing day by day nearer to the shrine
of Messiah, when the words of the pro
phet will be fulfilled. On that day
God will be one and His name one."
Not Satisfactory.
From the Washington Star.
"Did you manage to explain to your wife
why you got home so late last night?"
said the convivial friend,
"Y yea."
"What did she say?"
"She said she wished I could be a little
more original."
Dr. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eight per cent, of nil
caaea of Consumption, In all Ita
Earlier Stages.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier - stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per
centage of eases, and we believe, fully gS
percent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do tou doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit or had only seemed to benefit a little for .
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
ana various preparations of the hypopuos-
Phites bad also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, brouchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents' in stamps.
