Known Cures Are Priceless Jewels porIX"?,th
They are real and genuine cures. That is why they are known. Such cures cannot be hidden, for they are told by one patient to another theort that travels by word of mouth. Every Patient Using
the Velpau Treatment Is Grateful, because they have something to be grateful for. Every pattern tells the simple and convincing story of their cure and many volunteer the public use of their names for the
good of humanity. We furnish and give you proofs, not promises, of what we state. We know you have tried antiquated physicians. and their medicines, who doctored your symptoms, and consequently you
found them failures. This is an age of progress, and while the Velpau Treatment gives you wonderful results, yet they are as real as the sun, and therefore unquestionable facts. What the Velpau System of
Medicine Has Accomplished for Others Can Be Done Equally as Well for You.

6 A ST Kit Sunday bad Just
gone by.
Two young men, cousins,
and apparently of the same
age, wore on their way
home from a ball. It was
between 2 and I! o'clock in
the morning.
Although they woio thus closely re
lated, they had net spoken to one
another for some time.
This morning they did, but not kind
ly. They met on the brow of a hill
near the Quukiey cave holes. Several
acres, in tills neighborhood, was fair
ly honeycombed. These holes wore
all sizes, from a few feet across to p.
hundred: round, oblong, three-cornered,
and every conceivable shape.
Sonic were shallow, some very deep
and opsn. and grim-looking at the
bottom.
One, in particular, was to bo dread
ed and shunned. Few very few
approached tills one, which should not
have been left as It was ready to
swallow man or beast from the world
forever.
The.-e two men. George and Hurry
Trescore, were brother's children.
They lived a few hundred yards apart,
ali.ng the edge of the mountain, back
from the Quukiey breaker, In the
"long row" of company houses. They
were twenty in number.
In that neighborhood none were tit
tp brag of the most miserable looking
gathering of board shanties Imagin
able. When those two young men met at
the "Knob," ns the place was called,
George was Inclined to go on by him
self: but It was not the intention of
Harry to lot him do so. Harry was
robust, squat e, and very heavy-set
"a good chunk of a man." Kntirely
different was his cousin, in fact, al
most the reverse, yet smart ns a
whip, and in every wny, but strength,
ennui to Harry.
In truth, he was far more polite,
and for such was better treated: and
admired by the prettiest girl In the
"long row."
This was, virtually, the only known
thing that stood between them, for
they really hud nothing else to quar
rel about.
George was disposed to be peace
able: and Harry possessed the quali
ties and nature of a bully, and felt
like shaking his cousin when lie met
him.
The paths they were on crossed nt
this particular point. It would have
been shorter for Harry to keep on the
path ho was, thnn to have taken
George's.
This he did In order to have It out
with him.
"You were nt the ball tonight. Skin
ny, eh! Why didn't you take Agnes?
I heard you were going to."
"That's my affair. 1 don't Inquire
Into your bulness. I wish you to keep
your own road. I don't care to have
anything to do with you,"
"Ah! How musical nnd sweet your
words are. Do you use thut particular-'tone
when addressing Aggie? I

so! I wish I were as charming as

diately made Inquiries from all whom
they knew concerning his disappear
ance. Harry confessed to having met his
cousin nt the ball, but denied any
knowledge of meeting blni thereafter,
or holding conversation with htm.
The cave-holes, and everywhere
else, weio searched, but all to no pur
pose. No tidings could be gotten of
him after be left the ball. So the
matter of his disappearance grew to
be one of those mysterious tilings of
the world. The whole row mourned
the less. George was a noble felllow.
In a short time, after Agnes Jolco
bad recovered her composure, Harry
Trescore began paying her his at
tentions. She received him kindly,
yet with an indifference be could not
understand, nor did she enro to ex
plain. She only cared for him because bo
was George's cousin not for him
self. He was willing to accept the little
love she could give, with the hopes
that time would, probably, effect a
change in her nature, granting to him
the whole of her love.
lie did not understand her never
did.
The summer was wearing away.
uno evening, after work, a group of
men woie standing at the top of the
slope. One, Jerry J'ierson, was doing
the talking; lie told a long story and
ended with: "Gentlemen, 1 will
never go up that gangway again!"
"Ha! ha! ha!" broke from the lips
of the crowd.
"You're trying to scare us!" said
Nick Brenner, who was a pump run
ner, and lie considered himself one of
the bravest men in the mine lie was,
to hear him talk.
The crowd broke up and all went to
their homes.
The story of a ghost in the slope wns
that evening the solo topic.
Hvery man felt a fear creep over
him, while going down the slope the
next morning. Nothing was seen or
heard, and in a few days the story
wns almost forgotten.
Jerry rieison kept his word, gave
ui Ills place rather than work In tho
east gangway. Another took it;
worked it for a week, His story was
In substance tho same as Jerry's.
Another abandoned It after two
days.
After this it was Impossible to Hnd
any one willing to go In tho place nt
all.
The miners In that end of the nilno
began complaining of missing every
thing laid out of their hands. Tho
depredations spread to other parts,
Nothing was exempt. No one seemed
able to locate or capture the offend
ers. Chaos began her rolgn!
The men were continually accusing
one another of stealing and lights
were taking place every day.
The company was appealed to for a
detective, He came, No good, A
coward.
The minors were almost disheart
ened. Jerry Plerson moved away:
so did Milton Trescore, the father of
George, A number of houses in tho
"long row" were empty and for n
while It was expected the slope .would
bo closed up for good.
Tho detective ivus a complete fail

covered. Tho miners grow in tho habit of tak

them tho next day. It was a bother
some task 'to be tuklng those In and
out every day, so tho enrponters of
tho company wore ordered to build a
tight room, at the foot of tho slope,
for their safety,
This was u great relief, and much
appreciated. In the meantime tho car

The Velpau System of Medicine
Harry had, of late, been away twice,
but was now at homo and In every
way possible, was insisting on Agnes
to show reciprocal affection. It was
his de."lre to gel married and move
away, so as to live down a memory.
Hut to moving and deserting the old
folks Agues would not consent. She
hesitated about getting married, too,
fur she hnd no love for her suitor, and
fell as If she never could: she often
told him so in an indirect way, which
lie failed to understand, or would not.
She bad thoughts, she felt sometimes
were true, yet dared not profess.
Finally, after consultation, persecu
tion and advice of her mother, who
telt that her daughter was getting a
worthy man in Hurry, Agnes con
sented, with bowed head, unhappy
heart, and weeping eyes, to accept this
Idea of her lover for her heart and
affection.
She promised, but dreaded the con
sequences: there was something con
coaled, she felt, that fate unhappy
fate had in store for her.
From the day Agnes promised to
be the wife of Harry Trescore little
was seen of her in the knots of young
people gathered together for socia
bility and amusement.
An ollicinl of the company induced
.Milton Trescore, George's father, who
had moved into another district, to
return and accept of an outside lore
mauship. .Milton Trescore, with s.-ul recollec
tion, entered upon his duty.
Ono day, about a month after, Mr.
Trescore was made outside boss, a
man was seen in an awful hurry com
ing out of tho slope; It was near three
in the afternoon. It wns nothing re
markable to see a man go out at this
time, or any during working hours,
but It was his frightened appearance
and distressed look thnt attracted at
tention, "What's the matter with lirenner?"
said one to another.
"Ho saw tho ghost." was the answer.
When Jireiiner got home he was
shaking like a. leaf from fright, and
half of tho people of tho "long row"
were soon standing around his place
trying to find out as nearly as possible
what he saw. Ho looked frightened
out of his wits, and, judging from the
paroxysms of his mental frenzy, they
all came to the conclusion tho man
had suddenly became crazy and
dropped the whole thing at that'.
This seemed to be a sad state of af
fairs. Nick Hreuner, who laughed
mid chaffed at tho Idea of a ghost, to
be at last so overcome by the delusion.
hat was the world coming to
mention never returned to work.
After his recovery from the fright ho
became so thoroughly disgusted with
himself for the way he acted that ho
moved away.
No reports of the ghost, for weeks,
were made after the Brenner Incident,
till one morning a miner noticed curi
ous chalk marks In his place. Ho called
In others, and together they heli) con
sultation. Tho same curious marks
were found scrawled In other breasts
and In gangways.
The week following this new, phase,
other peculiar Incident began unfold
ing. My this tlmo the bravest were thor
oughly alarmed, and It looked as If
the mine was to bo deserted In another
week, If .something was not done
quickly.
The miners were noting so slowly
that It seemed the worst would have
to come; hut, before going out ono
day, they met at tho foot or tho slope,
and, after a long talk, considerable
wrangling and Jungllng, formed them
selves Into u, committee of searchers,
with tho determination of going
through the mine, now and old, "ghost
or no ghost,"
Tho next day was the ono set for tho
mnrriago of Harry and Agnes, "to tnko
placo at eight p. m."
Most of the young men and somo of
the old were invited, by card, to be
present at tho ceremony, and to enjoy
ti hospitable meal, to be prepared for
tho occasion, v
None of the young men wanted to be
absent, nnd so manifested it at tho
meeting. The conclusion reached by
tho miners was: "On tomorrow wo
search the entire mine."

In the morning every man answered
to ids name.
The Investigation began early, and
search was being made according to
Plans. The men were all In excellent
spirits.
At the house of .Mr. Jolce everything
was being put in readiness ns fat as
possible for the marriage. By throe
the main details were carried out nnd
very well executed. A score of help
ers were glad and willing to enjoy a
"few minutes' " rest.
The report was current since noon
that tho ghost was seen and located,
and would be driven out or caught.
Squads of people wore standing about
the slope discussing what wns going
on inside.
Before the middle of the afternoon
hundreds of strangers were on the
ground.
This was a day of anticipation and
doubt.
Agnes hud not been seen by anyone
but her mother and a few intimate
friends since tho middle of the fore
noon. It took till of these to pacify
her and keep back her tears. No rea
son known to them could bo assigned
for grief, and yet she wept and sobbed
bitterly at intervals.
She seemed to hnve something on her
mind to say, nnd would not, or could
not, express It.
Finally she bathed her face, nnd said
to her mother: "I will go out for a
walk; it will (lo mo good. 1 think. Yon
can make an npology to Harry, when
he comes, for my absence. Don't toll
him where T am, if you know. I only
wish to have Katie along, If you can
spare her."
Katie was lior smallest sister.
The miners, so far, had gone through
the entire workings: but one place re
mained to be searched the abandoned
gangway. This was the teat!
The bravest -were picked out to take
the lead. Kverything was torn away,
ns quickly as renehed, that had any
tendency to obstruct the movement.
The men In front were moving slowly
nnd using discretion. The clnsed-up
breasts, ns they came to them, revealed
no signs of tho ghost.
The lead was approaching the dread
ed ono the "J'ierson" when It became
evident that the ghost wok not far off.
The foremost fell back on the next,
and so on (111 a complete halt was
made.
After a few minutes, fear was over
come and order restored, and they ad
vanced to tho breast. No forcible op
position was made on tho part of tho
ghost. On entering they were startled
and thoroughly alarmed at the weird
and strangely peculiar noises emanat
ing from all parts of It. Homo shook
with fear and became frantic: In u
moment all were tumbling headlong
Into the gangway.
A few, nearly paralyzed with fear,
would have been scared to death, under
the remarkable and peculiar strain of
nervousness overcoming them, at tho
sight of their shadows.
Whispers were tho only thing in
dulged in for some time. During this
recess of action, some were trying to
"sneak" away, Hvery man was asked
to stand his ground.
The noises had ceased the moment
the last man was out of the breast
remarkable and significant.
After order was restored, they pro
ceeded to the breast again, with more
courage than they had before shown
still some were acting cowardly.
They soon discovered what was milk
ing the noises, after entering the sec
ond time,
Tho chamber was found In be a store
house. All the missing articles wero
thcic and In good condition.
The noises were produced by drills
and other tools being suspended ami
fixed In such a way, that by pulling a
rope they struck and clashed with
themselves. Tlvy found the rope led
to a small nm-iiing close to the roof,
up nt the lac-.
Hero was another mystery.
Certainly the ghost was In there.
A dozen young nimi, all were lions
now, volunteered to crawl through the
opening; for tho fact was plain to all
present that Jerry I'lerson broke Into
some part of tho old workings and
nover knew it, nor those who took his
jilaco; and the ghost cuiiie in from
there was evident.
After tho men wore into the old
works they did not go forward more
than tlfty or sixty paces before they
enmo up to a deep hole, over which
wns a plank turned up on Its edge.
This plank in this position meant
something.
They peered Into tho hole, and by the
aid of their lamps discovered some
thing, apparently alive, at the bottom.
Thu ghost of thu mini', they found
there.
It, like themselves, was a hiiimiu be
ing, only so thin nnd haggard looking
from starvation that, wero it related
to any or them, tho features could not
be recognized, were they ever so well
known.

Evidently, they all thought, some
poor, crazy wretch that by some means,
found access to the mine.
Was there ever a parallel?
The news was carried oulside, and
became current. Shortly the whole
population surrounded the mouth of
the slope.
Hopes very strong ones had to be
stretched from the slope to the boiler
house, In order to allow tho men who
were bearing the poor unfortunate man
on a litter of rough boards, room to
pass.
Harry Trescore, for the past two
weeks, was out of the district, and
knew nothing of what wns going on.
He just arrived and wns nt this time
in tho homo of Agnes; he was aston
ished to see no ono around, lie was
was pleased though, and smiled to
himself, at beholding tho grout prep
aration for his approaching marriage.
Before going out he wrote u short
note, staling he would bo back in u
half hour.
While ho was crossing- a short piece
of trestllng, that spanned n water way,
he saw the vast gathering of people;
not knowing the cause of the excite
ment, he changed his mind, and In
stead of going on home, ho hurried to
the slope.
Agnes had been with tho crowd near
ly from the time she loft the house
with Katie. She was eager for the
news and listened to and watched
everything going on. She scorned to
get so excited at times that she was
thought to be laboring under an aber
ration of tho mind.
Agnes was standing at the boiler
house apparently in deep thought.
Hurry pushed his way through the
throng to her side. He noticed how
strangely she looked; he tried to in
duce her to go home. She seemed
not to notice him. He took hold of
her by the shoulder and she broke from
his grasp, and pushed by the guards
lo the stretcher. All eyes were on her.
The man was muttering; she leaned
forward to catch his words; suddenly,
dropping on her knees, she threw her
urms across his breast and shouted
"George! George!"
Here was a scene that all wero
watching.
Presently the dying man made an
effort to rise, and loudly and plainly
enough to be understood, he answered,
"Agnes!" This wns his last word, and
evidently tho knell of his parting
breath.
He died Instantly.
Agnes fell prostrate across the body
and cried out excitedly "George!
George!" Then turning to where
Harry stood, continued: "Harry, bring
mo back George! You alone are re
sponsible Oh, dear! oh, dear!"
The climax was bewildering ami ex
citing. All eyes turned to where Harry was
last seen, but he was not there.
A number shouted "Hung him! hang
him!" The shouting Increased and
grow louder; and It would not have
been well for him hnd they laid hands
on his person.
Kind and sympathetic hands bore
tho excited girl lo her home.

In leathering information and exper
ience with regard to evory-day life in
Germany much depends upon your
purpose of sojourning in that country.
For tho study of music there are cities
of Berlin, Dresden and Teipslg; for
that or art, Munich, Duesseldorf and
Karlsruhe, in addition to the former.
For special pursuits of technology,
science or law numerous towns offer
advantages In schools and universities.
For lUMtuirlng the language in its pur
ity northern Germany is preferable,
but If u little grammar and phrase
ology is all you desire southern Ger
n any may do.
For the romantic there are the cities
along the Rhine, In the Thurlngian and
Black forests. To those who love art
for tlie enjoyment it affords the choice
is limited to the capitals of the king
doms which form the German empire.
Labor and Rest.
Tho sun rises the same all over Ger
many, so your early morning exper
iences will bo the samo in every place.
A little before or a little after (! you
will rise, for at T the business of the
day Is well started. By 10.150 or 11 it
has progressed far enough to admit of
an intermission for refreshment and
repose. The Ilrst meal has In most
cases boon a cup of tea or coffee, with
cold rolls and butter, and possibly a
boiled egg. The second meal consists
of tome bread and butter, with cold
meat or cheese, and beer or wine.
At 12.30 or l there Is a general ces
sation of all work. Kverybody who
has a homo hurries thither, and who
ever has none resorts to whatever
passes for sucli. to enjoy his dinner
hour. So universal are tho regulations
governing the business of living nnd
working that one might regulate his
watch by the coming and going of tho
people or their complete disappearance
from the streets.
After an hour or two work is re
sumed. At l.?0 again everybody drinks
his beer or coffee. At B o'clock tlnally
tho day's business is over and every
body is xn the streets to stay there
for an hour or more before going home,
or to tho theater, or concert hall, or
public garden, .Supper is commonly
eaten In some restaurant or cafe.
Table D'Hote.
Wherever the American goes his
tnFte Is catered to, but he gets only
the German Interpretation of Ameri
can food. At hotels he Is expected to
order beefsteak for breakfast, at jien
slous he Is given oatmenl and eggs. He
also is sure of an abundant dinner nnd
supper, ninner. however. Is always
supplied according to tho national
standard, that Is to say, entirely a la
Deiilsch. This meal lasts an hour ut
least, usually an hour and a half. It
occurs at 1 or 2 o'clock, and Interferes
seriously with tho business and enjoy
ment of the day. There are oup, llsh,
meal, with vegetables, an entree, game
or chicken, with salad and compot, a
(lidding or Ice, fruits, cheese, bread
and liiittor, grapes, etc, Vou may omit
my course you please, but you gain no
(line by that, for you must sit tho
meal through, mid thu courses come
between long Intervnls. If you havo
passetl ono i uurstf you grow hungry
walling for the uovl, and you have a
good opportunity fur the exercising of
patience and prietlolng colloquial
I'hiaseology and courteous conversation
with your neighbors.
American manuois will do for tablo
d'holo provided they aro supplemented
by Urn adoption of certain Gorman for
malities, lleforo taking your seat yon
bow to those sitting opposite nnd bo
side you. During the meal you con
verse with them to your heart's eon
tent and at the end of tho meal you
bow again to those about you after
having said: "Mnlilzelt" (an abbre
viation of the phrase, "Ge.eguoto Mahl-ac-lt,"
or In lOngllsli, "God bless your
nieiiM")
Restaurant Life.
Ne.t to table d'hote restaurant life
Is tho proper and most Interesting
course for those wishing to Indulge in
and become used to the real German
way of existence. The length of the
experience differs according to the po
lice regulations and tho toclal customs
of Hie place.
Itestuuraut life generally begins at
7 o'clock In the evening, nnd every
where In Berlin It goes on all night.

Velpau physician whcn such prompt
relict can be had at. such reasonable
terms. Since my recovery I have
gained both In weight and strength,
and I now delight In my housework,
which was formerly a drudgery.
Inflamed and Sore Eyes.
Mrs. J, Welsh, Ollmorc avenue,
Mtnooka, Pa,, says: "My daughter
suffered for years with chronic sora
eyes. 1 tried everything In vain. Af
ter a week's treatment her eyes be
gan to show rapid Improvement and
her complete recovery assured. I can
not say enough In praise of the Velpau
System of Medicine, for the results ob
tained so sapldly as well as reason
ably.
Those who make it their regular habit
must try to catch the first car home
In the morning that Is. if they are In
condition to catch anything.
The crowd Is greatest and most In
teresting just after the places oC
amusement close between 10 o'clock
and midnight. For every class, for
every purse, the restaurants and the
cafes are wide open. The difference
between tho two places Is that at tho
former a regular meal may be had
la carte, or certain dishes supplied
fcnnlng a regular supper, while at the
latter only the sligntest refreshments
with drinks are served. The cuisines
of all nationalities and the beverages
of all countries form the attractions
at many of these public resorts. There
Is no per.'-on of any land or clime who
cannot go to the restaurant or cafo
when his cook is out or the fancy suits
bim to charm his palate and supply
his cravings for his favorite dishes antl
drinks. With women It is different.
In the cities they cannot go to these
places without male company. They
can, however, go unattended to the
confectioner's to get something to eat.
Outing Suppers.
The sooner one frees his mind ol
tho Idea that the essence and practi
cal features of tho American restaur
ant, cafe or hotel are found In tho
samo places In Germany, the sooner
ono will be able to enjoy the reality
The first and general impression is
one of wonderment if one has not
gotten into the wrong place. There
Is always a porter, or doorkeeper, In
livery, who greets you with his "Gu
ten abend" as he swing the glass door
open to admit you.
There are signs on all of the sub
sequent doors that tell you to pull or
to push, so that two people, one on
either side of the door, need not run
Into danger by unexpected collisions.
There may bo a sign. "Garderobc
frel" or "Gnrderobe, 10 pfennlgo,"
meaning you may either take off your
overcoat and hang It on a peg for
nothing or hand It over to one or two
women in exchange for a number and.
have it hung up on a special peg and
taken care of for 2 cents. Not to dis
courage ono at the outset, the over
coat or wraps generally are free, and
In this case instead nt being compelled
to leave them at tho door you can
wear them until you have found and
selected a table, near which there Is
sure to bo a place for storing themi
away. Later in the evening this ar
rangement gives you tho Impression
as though supper were being served
In a wardrobe.
Somo of the restaurants are large,
simple rooms; others are a series of
small rooms, a few stops up or down
at the entrance of each. Their In
numerable tables uro very small and
close to each other. Those near the
walls have sofas along one side, sup
plying seats for distinguished, lady
guests or other habitues of the place.
Tho sofa in Germany is a distinction
and an Inlllctlon. You never sit on
it until you are invltea to do so. If
you are not asked to sit on It you need
not consider yourself the person en
titled to this special honor. All tho
furnishings of those rooms, which ara
usually decorated, aro rather plain,
hut neat and scrupulously cleuu. You
get waited on when you can securt
tlie waiter's eye. You are never di
rectly or Indirectly urged to take any
thing, anil your orders are promptly
anil polltoly executed. 'When the mert
llnlsh eating they light their cigars or
cigarettes, and the longer you remain
tho dimmer grow the outlines nnd fig.
ure.s of your neighbors.
Late Hours.
Whenever It seems tlmo to go home
and you aro ready to depart some
thing fresh will be ordered, and, oC
course, you cannot leave. By 10.30
tables are nt a premium. The only!
way to secure one Is to hynotlzc soma
party or tip a waiter. Tables In res
taurants are, however, more easily,
secured at that time than In a eafe
especially in Berlin.
It Is a common fashion In Berlin te
go to n cafo for a cup of coffee, with.
Its glass of cognac, and then to drink:
your boor or wine at the restaurant
where you have had supper. Afterf
making yourself comfortable you will
stay there until you suddenly realize
that if you want to return homo while;
thu night Is not quite passed you had
better make a start. You may or mayi
not have spent much money for food
and drinks, but the tips will surely
amount to 2 or 3 murks. Not a great
outlay, perhups, for a long evening's
outing and amusements, If you have
caught enough of the spirit of the
people about you to understand and
to enjoy the cultivating and cheerlnf
finale of a German day spent in hon
est work and harmless recreation.
