BROWN. “Do you sell ihese things, liitle girtl” The question was asked of a child who could not have seen more than seven years; yet she siood alopa beside an apple and candy stand on the corner of one of the worst streets in the city. She smiled, and nodded under a little, faded hood, and then breathed a very faint “Yes’- am,’’ from two of the prettiest red lips. “But does not your mother help you “Sumeiimes.” “Well how much is this stick of candy ?” “A cent.” “And this apple ?’’ “Two cents,’ _“And this V “Two cents.” “I low many cents will that be, little one 1 n She counted them on her small fingers— “l ive cents ma’am,” she answered at last with a glmious smile, and a pleased tone that said, “1 know I'm right.” “kou are a nice litilo merchant,” I said; hut she seemeu not greaily to appreciate the compliment. Her face shrank away in the shadow. “Sometimes it rains out here,” she ans wered simply, shivering as she spoke. “Then yon feel cold I suppose'!” One more non of the head, and a faint twinkle ol a rougish eye. The child puzzled in- I was afraid she was acting; for she a row ; kf scanty shawl about her, and sank clown on the pavement —looking so weary and paiicnl and faithful ! How it freezes up the heart to feel suspicious of those about us, and especially to mistrust a little child like this.

Numerous cases of Disease to the Genital Organs, some of them of longstanding have come under my notice, in which his skill has been manifest in restoring to perfect health in some cases -where the patient has been considered beyond medical aid. In tiic treatment of Seminal weak, ness, or' disarrangement of the functions produced by sclf.dpusc or excessive venery, I do not know his superior in the profession. I have been acquainted with the author some thirty years, and deem it no mure titan justice to him as well us kindness to the unfortunate victim of early indiscretion, to recom mend him as one in whose professional skill ami in. tegrity they may safely confide themselves, * Ai-fred Woodward. M. D. “ Tills is, without exception, the most comprchen. sivc and intelligible work published on the classes of diseases of which it treats. Avoiding all technical terms, it addresses itself to the reason of its readers. It Is free from all objectionable matter, and no par. ent, however fastidious, can object to placing it in the hands of his sons. The author has devoted ma ny years to iho treatment of the various complaints treated of, and with too little breath io puff and too little presumption to impose, he has offered to the world at the merely nominal price of 25 cents, the fruit of some twenty years’ most successful practice. “No teacher or parent should be knowlcdc impar ted in this valuable work. It would save years of pain and mortification and sorrow to the youth un. der their charge.”— Peoples' Advocate. A Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, writing of “ Hunter’s Medical Manual” says— “Thousands upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and influence of the passions, have been led into the habit of self-pollution without realizing the sin and fearful consequences upon themselves and posterity The constitutions of thousands who arc raising fam ilies have been enfeebled, if not broken down, and they do not know the cause or cure. Anything that can be done so to enlighten end influence the public mind as to check, and ullimotcly to remove his wide spread source of human wrelchedcess, would confer the greatest blessing next to the relig ion of Jesus Christ, ou Ihq present and coming gen eration. Intemperance (or the use of inloxiculing drinks) though: it has slain thousands upon thou* sands, is not a greater scourge to the human race. Accept my thanks on behalf of the affliclcd,ond be lieve roc your co-worker in the good work you arc so actively engaged in.” One copy (nrcurrly enveloped) will be forwarded, free of postage, to any part of the United States for 25 cents, or six copies for one dollar.
