A THANKSGIVING SKETCH.
The last week in Oc tober !
As a general thing Nature is not bountiful
with her smiles these short, dreary
days, when the world stands shuddering
on the threshold of winter. But this particular
Monday was full of balm and sunshine;
the air sweet with the indescribable
perfume of the colored leaves which
were drifted up along the roadside, and
collected in rustling layers under the
stone foundations of Ex mouth jail. Overhead
tie sky was blue as a sapphire; and
here and there along this woodpath a
stray wild-flower mteu its purpie eye, milast,
lingering relic of the golden Sep"C:
tember glow.
Doctor Fitch rode along the lonely
bridle-path, the sound ol his horse's
hoofs on the dead leaves reminding him
vaguely of the days, long, long ago,
when he was a boy and scoured these very
woods in search of nuts, and hunted
HgS" squirrels and chipmunks \wjth a delight
go which moose arid rod deer would not
ik' give him now.
,4If one could only be a boy forever,"
V said Royal Fitch. Hallo! who's that?
v as his horse shied slightly at sight of a
slender figure, sitting on a fallen log, a
. few, feet bac^o^j^ road. "Oh, it's
ISgrr you 5lary T^P^^xou got your discharge
this morning."
Mary Trefoil looked up?a dark-eyed,
: pallid-faced woman, of two or three and
twenty. Doctor Fitcli knew her very
pTwell. She had been in Exniouth prison
three months for theft, and during two
of these three months she had lain^iearly
at the point of. .death, in the hospital
rW" ward, with a low, lingering fever. Doctor
Fitcli was rather proua of the skill
which had rescued her from the jaws of
Jf|pF death. He stopi>ed his horse and looked
jSR at her.
"Yes, sir," said Mary Trefoil, spirit__
lessly. "I've got my discharge."
"And where are you going now?"
"I don't know, sir."
jC;V* "Where are your friends?" he asked,
*; not unkindly.
"I have none, sir."
"But this won't do," said Doctor Fitch,
noting the troubled light in the girl's eye.
the deadly whiteness of her brow and
chceks. "Look here; you must go some5C.*'
< where, you know. You can't sit here.
Can't you think of any place where they
would give you food and shelter for a
few days until you get strong?"
Mary Trefoil shook her head. She did
not seem to be at all interested in the
Sc.. question. Doctor Fitch's horse reached
up his head and browsed on the still
Y' grej11 leaves of a wild grape-vine, which
theboughs of a cedar had sheltered from
the early frost. Doctor Fitch himself
sat like a statue, and looked at Mary
^ Trefoil.
" A social problem," he said, inwardly.
"And she must be solved, somehow."
"Manr," he spoke aloud, "can you
walk a mile?"
" I suppose so, sir."
"Then walk alongbv mv horse's side.
T i ^1,1 ?.l"n ?;rj
i o.in;? ...v.,,
Perhaps you may suit her. She need not
|-;g" know who you are, or whence you came.1'
" I didn't put myself in Exmouth jail,''
RP^r sullenly retorted Mary. " And I have
told one story from the beginning?that
I had nothing to do with the silver. I
" don't know how it came into my trunk:
I didn't know it was there, until the
officer dragged it out before my eyes."
"The law thought differently," said
Doctor Fitch, who, as prison physician,
had heard these protestations of inno^0'
cencc from scores of lips before. "However,
that is not the quesfion we are discussing
just at present. Will you try to
deserve my recommendation, if 1 give
- you one!"
"Heaven helping me. sir. I will!"said
Mary Trefoil, evidently affected by his
kindness.
She walked beside the horse for some
little distance, until, down a side road,
which seemed to plunge directly into the
woods, they came to an old gray-stone
house, all mantled with scarlet creepers,
with a background of gnarled apple-trees,
and the whir of a gristmill sounding
somewhere in the background like the
ceaseless hum of some gigantic insect.
" Good afternoon. Mrs. Glover!*' said
Doctor Fitch. ' Have you suited yourself
yet with a girl ?*'
Mrs. Glover, an apple-faced woman of
sixty, looked at them through a pair of
round, silver-rimmed spectacles.
' No, nor I ain't like to,*' said she.
" Betsey Keene, she has gone in the millinery
trade, and Lucy Hovey, she?"'
'Well, I've brought you one," said
^ Doctor Koval Fitch, '^ome here, Mary.
This is Maiy- Trefoil," wit ha quick glance
at the silent girl. " I know who she is,
and I can answer that she will do her
best to please you and make herself useful."
"Indeed, I will, ma'am," said Mary, in
a low voice.
* "Folks ,live about here ?" said Mrs.
* " Glover. _
" I have no relatives," said Mary. " I
nnmti frnrn tVin nnrtlinrn nnrt nf thfi COUfl
ty."~ *
"All the better," said the old lad}*,
briskly. "You won't have 110 followers.
Well, Man-, I won't deny thut I'm awful
glad to see you, for I'm pretty nigli tuckered
out with doing all the chores myself.
? ;" To be sure, my son Daniel helps memornings
and- evenings, before he goes to
teach deestrick school?for he's a scholar,
my son is," with conscious pride. " And
father, he does what he can; but a man
can't do much beside tendin' grist-mill in
a place like this. You look a little white
and peaked, but?"
" Oh, she'll be all right in this pure
air, with plenty of your new milk and
home-made bread!" said Doctor Fitch,
cheerily.
And with a whispered word or two of
encouragement to Mary Trefoil, he rode
?j|~v away.
On Thanksgiving day, nearly a month
later, he came back.
"Hello!" said Dr. Fitch. "Why,
Mary, you look like a different creature!"
Mrs. Glover had gone to church, with
her sou Daniel and "Father," all undismayed
by the occasional flakes of snow
which were beginning to flutter through
the air. and the howling of the wind
I kitchen, with an unwonted tinge of '
1 L -/i 1
color in her cheeks, and ner sun, ormvu
hair parted from her forehead, and a red .
ribbon tied at the side. She stopped, '
with a milk jug in her hand, and looked
at Dr Fitch, brightly. 1
"I am like a different creature, sir,"
said she, "thanks to you!"
"So it's all going right, eh?," said the
doctor. "You like the place?"
"I am perfectly happy here." said ,
Mary. "But, oh, doctor, I have no one
to consult, and I've asked myself the
question so many times over that every- .
thing seems distorted in my eyes! I wonder
if I might dare to speak out my
mind to your'
"What on earth is the girl talking
about?" said Doctor Fitch.
"If I could only sec the prison chaplain?"
"Come, I'll officiate as prison chaplain
for the time being," said Doctor Fitch,
good-humored ly. "Out with your trouble!
What is it?"
V
"\\ell, it?it isn t exact iv u nuuuiv,
confessed Mary, busying herself with
polishing the great reel apples which were
to he the crowning glory of the dessert.
"Hut I think?I am almost certain?that
Daniel (ilovcr is getting fond of me !''
"Hal?lo !" said the doctor.
"Oh, doctor," faltered poor Mary,
"ought I to tell him all ?"
"Hold your tongue," said the doctor,
brusquely. "A close mouth makes a
wise head ! You say you are innocent of
all those charges ?*'
"I was innocent !" cried Mary. "I am
innocent !"
' Very well.''said Doctor Fitch; "then
you are as good as he is."
And, with a few kindly words, he rode
on.
But as .Mr. and Mrs. Glover were coming
leisurely home from church, with Daniel
sauntering behind, a sullen-eu-d tramp
slouched up to the former, touching his
cap.
"Be you the jurist-mill man ?" said lie.
"I am the miller, friend," said Mr.
Glover.1
"Well, then." said the dusty-footed
stranger, " it is my bounden duty to tell
you that you're harboring a prison-bird
in your home."
" What?" cried old Mrs. Glover.
" I knows it, blamed well I" asserted
the man, "cos I was in quad at the same
time she was. Theft for she, and drunk
and disorderly for me. And I wouldn't
have blowed on her. but she refused me
a drink of cider, and wouldn't let me in
to warm my feet. I ain't no tale-bearer;
but there's some things as flesh and blood
won't bear!"
He stalked on, muttering to himself,
while Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Daniel
stared at each other in horrified amazement.
"Mother, is it true!" said Daniel.
" It can't be!*' said the old lady.
' Ask herself," said the miller, grimly.
Man* met them at the door, with a radiant
smile. The dinner was all ready; i
the humble arrav of silver and china :
sparkled on the board; the fire blazed i
upon the clean-swept hearth. i
' I am so glad you have come back!"' ]
said she. " Not that 1 was afraid to be i
alone, bnt there was an ill-looking man 1
along just now? Oh, why do you look
at me so strangely? Is anything the matter?"
' There is much the matter!'* said the ]
old miller, sternly. "Answer me, j
girl-" * ,
"Father you shall not be harsh to |
her!" said Daniel Glover. "Come here,
Mary. Lean on me. Nay, do not (
tremble so. What is there to be afraid ,
of ? We all know that the brute spoke .
lies!" ,
"Is it a lie," faltered Mrs .Glcver, ,
"that you?you were in prison ?"
"It is no lie!" said Mary, turning (
deathly white. " I served a sentence in ]
Exmouth prison; but?but I never was (
guilty : c ircumstances n cru ugtuiiM. iiiv.
I?"
"Then," sternly uttered the old man,
you must leave this house !"
"If she goes, father," said Daniel
Glover, firmly, "I go with her. Fori
trust her. I believe in her!"
"Daniel, are you crazy?" said his
mother.
At that momeut. Doctor Fitch rode
up, looking flushed and excited, yet
pleased withal. He sprung off his horse ,
and walked into the house, looking
keenly about him.
"Good people," said he, what is all 1
this about ?" ,
"We have just heard," wailed Mrs.
Glover, " that our Mary is? a convict!"'
4'Pshaw!" said Doctor Fitch. "So it
has got around to your ears, has it ? ,
Well, I have just heard that she isn't. I ,
have come from the hospital ward. A
man was brought in, fatally wounded in
a liquor saloon fray. I examined his
hurts. 'My man.' said I, 'if you have '
any affairs to settle, they had better be
settled at once, for you have not six '
hours to live.' Said he, 'if I am dying, ,
there's one or two things I would like to
say.' And then, in solemn confession. 1
he said, among other black and wicked :
revelations, that ho was one of the bur- J
glars in the famous Chartens case?that J
he hid the silver in Mary Trefoil's trunk '
when, at the last, he found himself un?ble
to carry it all away, she being
seamstress in the Chartens family, and
entirely ignorant of the whole thing? I
that he was too closely tracked to con- 1
triveto return, and so she was convicted 1
through circumstantial evidence, being, '
to use the wretch's own words, 'as inno- 1
cent as a baby' all the time. He is a 1
/Ivinrr m??n ?niv nn/l#?r t]\o nirr? rif tlw?
chaplain, but he has done his best to right (
you, Mary Trefoil, in the eyes of the *
world!"
' Mary,'*said the miller, ''I was wrong '
just now when I spoke up so sudden.
Will you forgive me?" '
' Mary, don't look so pale," soothed 1
Mrs. Glover. "Here?drink some of this 1
cold water!" j;
"Mary, dearest," whispered Daniel, as
ho stole his arm around her waist, "I 1
knew all along that you were innocent! 1
I knew vou were too good and pure to be
aught else:" 1
And the last words revived her most
of all! t
Doctor Fitch stayed to help them eat
the Thanksgiving dinner which Mary t
had prepared so daintily?the brown and ,
oleaginous turkey, the cinnamon-flavored
apple-pies, the baked potatoes and mince- '
tarts, with the nuts and apples and
sparkling cider afterward. And when

"At Christmas, please (.tod," Daniel t
uttered, bravely, while Mary Trefoil eried \
out: 1
"Oh, Daniel, I never said so." ?,
" But 1 say so, and mother says so," 1
chimed in Mr. Glover, Sr. "And so the i
matter is settled by a vote of the ma- <
jority." 1
"And 1 shall claim the privilege of s
giving away the bride," said Doctor t
Fitch, merrily. j
And so he went out into the snow and
darkness, whistling gaily as he vanished, j
And Mary, looking earnestly up into i
her lover's eyes, said, softly:
44Oh. Daniel. I think I never knew before
the true meaning of the name
Thanksgiving!"
4,It does seem providential," said old
Mrs. (Mover, tenderly, stroking down the
bright hair of her daughter-in-law elect,
'* that all this should have happened on
Thanksgiving Day!"

FASHION NOTES.
TVio SVinlrf>r r>nk'f> will be TlOflulnr this i
ivintcr for children.
Cherry red and ochre yellow are the
leading colors in millinery just now. (
Many of the short black garments are
elaborately trimmed with black fox fur.
The newest thing in furs is the hi^h- ^
shouldered pelerine with high standing
collar. ,
Solid-colored fur linings for both fur- .
lined dolmans and circulars arc most pre- ]
ferred. ]
Belts and chatelaine bags, made of !
finely embossed leather, of entirely new
designs, are again in high vogue. I
Undycd beaver is very fashionable for 1
trimming cloaks, and capes made of it '
are more stylish than those of any other
fur. (
Chenille fringe is extensively used for '
trimming dresses and mantles. It. is '

The plain black silk is not nearly so ,
popular as the Ottomans, merveilleux and |
satin rhadames. If one wants to to buy j
an economical black dress a good ,
black satin is the best. 1
White bonnets have gone entirely out
of fashion for evening wear. Those of 1
pale mauve and salmon and blue velvet. ]
made simply and trimmed with a cluster i
of ostrich tips arc the most fashionable.
A very elegant walking costume is
made of a pattern dress of deep cedarbrown
bison cloth, the skirt showing a
deep band of the simulated Persian embroidery
above a narrow pelisse. The
long, tight-fitting coat is trimmed with
bands of buffalo fur, and a round turban
has a miniature bison's head in the front.
One of Mrs. Langtry's pretty walking- 1
dresses is of dark blue broadcloth, with :
skirt bordered by several tiny pleatings
of red and yellow satin, a short distance '
above which is a band of chamois skin 1
some three inches in width. The tight- '
titling waist is similarly irimmeu, mm
the little turban worn with it is of dark
blue.
A favorite style of jewelry is of nugget-finished
gold with scattered jewels
embedded in the rough surface. Handsome
bracelets arc formed by uniting the
roughly-rounded or rectangular plates,
ai.d linked sleeve buttons of this style
lire well liked in the form of trefoil. For
:i scarf-pin a little sword with richlyjeweled
hilt is a style of which few
young men are ashamed.
A new style of dressing the hair is high
in the back and 011 the head. The
coiffure is composed of two waved ban[leaus,
which are generally false. The
hair is taken up in the back in Chinese
fashion and tied rather high; it is then
divided into three parts, each of which
forms a kind of bow with smooth loops. '
Each of these is fastened through the ]
center with a shell pin. In a second style the
hair is divided horizontally into two j
parts. The upper part is tied high and
then divided to form wills which are ar- ,
ranged in a wreath around the head. The
three upper puffs show from the front, j
The other part of the hair is braided <
ind taken in the center of the i
wreath. A third coiffure consists of false ]
erimped bandeaus. The back forms puffs i
ind small twists of hair, with low combs ^
placed in the center of the head and on ,
either side of the back. Although to \
<oine it may be undesirable to do away .
with the Grecian knot, it would be good ]
for others. If a girl has a low forehead,
<mall, regular features and a head pro- j
trading far at the back and gracefully ?
sloping toward the neck, she will look j
well with her hair arranged in a low coil ]
nt the back; otherwise, she lias the ap- (
pcarancc of being in undress. Fashion- .
d>le hairdressers do not braid the hair j
sow. It is invariably coiled. It should \
be thorougly brushed before coiling, and j
never brushed afterward. Bangs still l
stay.
How to Run. ,
"Can you give mc any directions for i
running?" was asked of a well known
ithlete of this city. ;
"Yes. Keep your head well lip,
breathe through the nose and not the 1
mouth, keep the chest out, shoulders i
;hrown back, body bent slightly forward i
from the hips, and elbows in. The j
trouble with most people is that they i
breathe through the mouth and thus ex- i
tiaust their wind. If a man, unaccustomed
to running, keeps his mouth shut, i
in a little while he will feel a pressure on ]
liis chest as though a weight were placed
upon it, but if he keeps going he will '
;oon breathe freer and get what is called ;
'second wind,' then he can run as long <
is his muscle holds out."
Having obtained this information, the
reporter decided to observe how people i
3id run, and selected the depotu as the
best place for observation. i
The first person who appeared in the ;
field was a short fat man, with his mouth
ivide open and his face very red from his
jxertions, and his arms working in every
iirection.
Next came two men carrying a trunk
md endeavoring to run, but as the trunk

O, why did its mother let it go

sure enough, there was a genuine specimen
of a dude, with boots, pants, coat,
collar and hat complete, poking the toes
)f his boots into the cracks of the sidewalks
and thus " perambulatin'" along.
Still another specimen in the form of a i

The Hi lie macula of Herbs.
In the fall of the year, as the weather '
jrows colder, the production of the nor- '
nal leaves of trees is suddenly cheeked. '

hem we find a close, compact cluster of '

Pliese scales arc designed to protect the
i'ouiig leaves from the cold during winter:
hey are therefore called hibcrnneuhi or j
vinter quarters of the tender parts. To- .
.vard spring the, growth of the inclosed
eaves and buds is very rapid, so as to J
mrst open their coverings and allow a
speedy development of the. floral organs, j
lence most trees possessing scaly buds
lower early in the spring of the year. ,

and reaches its maximum at one and a

\N EXTRAORDINARY SIGHT.
I. HUGE CAVE EN OUT OF WHICH
ISSUED MYRIADS Or BIRDS.
DounilCNM Thousnml* of ihc Feathered
Tribe?A Naturalists AMon?
isiiln^ Adventurer in Columbia*
A naturalist just returned from a visit
io South America, told a Sun reporter
ibout his search for a peculiar bird in
Colombia. The bird is about the size of
i pigeon, and has a long, heavy, broad,
Iiooked bill, and is of a brownish cnest11
\it color, marked with indefinite black
spots.
" "When I first heard of the bird," said
the bird man, ''I was traveling in a
mountainous part of Colombia, and
:>nc night when I halted in a native
nllage they gave me some strange dish,
:ooked in oil. I asked a native, who
said it came from the oil bird orguacharo.
He furthermore gave me to understand
that the birds were not unlike bottles of
ail: all you had to do was to put a wick
in their mouths and light it, and you had
i lamp. The native imd never seen the
bird himself, he said, but bought the oil.
From another man, who belonged to a
tribe away up in the mountains, and
brought it down twice a year.
You may be sure I inquired about
the guacharo of all the natives I met, and
finally I came across a little village where
the people knew about it. One man
nromised to take me where I could find
the birds, but lie was very reluctant about
it. According to him, the birds were of
ill omen, and never came out of their
hiding places in the daytime, lie said
that they lived in the ground, and that
men who had gone after them never reurned.
"That settled it with me, and when I
iloubled my first olTer, he put aside all
scruples, and in two days we were oil
into the interior. At the end of two
[lays Ave gave up our mules and began
cutting and smashing through the worst
country for traveling on the globe. The
forest was absolutely impenetrable. In
some placcs the lianes or vines formed a
perfect wall that had to be cut through
unless long detours were made. I was
tempted more than once to give it up,
but we kept on, and finally, after nearly
ii week's work, reached the mountains,
mintur wln'fh tlu- birds were sunnosed to
live. Our camp was formed at tlu* foot
of a low clifT, against which huge boulders
were piled; the tent was formed of
boughs thrust into the ground and palm
leaves thrown over the top.
" I remember we lay down at dusk, being
tired out. I must have fallen asleep
directly, as I was awakened by the native
grasping me by the shoulder. I started
to my feet, thinking that I had either
yone mad or was dreaming. It was dark,
ind all about was the most terrific roaring
md screeching mortal man ever heard.
The only thing I can compare it to is a
tiurricane, without the wind. Now there
ivas a wild roar, then a weird shriek, followed
by a low moaning that grew louder
ind louder until it reached an awful climax,
and then died away, to return again
ind again. I can hear it now," said the
naturalist, taking out a highly-colored
Spanish bandanna, " and it makes me
warm to think of it. Well, I was paralyzed
for about a minute, and the native
ivas simply knocked out of time, but I
grabbed him, and in a moment he
gasped out, 'Guacharo.' Then it came
to me that we were among the birds,
ind, picking up my gun, I fired at
andom, directly up. Several birds fell
' {fJlin o (>.? fi.r.t * if tlin wliofl Tlir? birds
ictually filled the uir in countless thousands.
You may have seen the great
pigeon roosts in Kentucky, where they
break down great trees. Well, this discounted
the pigeon roosts in every respect.
I thought at first I couldn't stand
it. 1 eat up until one o'clock, and then
the noise let up and the birds disappeared
in some almost miraculous manner The
birds I shot told the oil story at once.
They were so fat that the oil could be
Fairly squeezed out. I took an old piece
jf llannol and proved the lamp story then
ind there by thrusting it, into the bird.
It readily lighted and gave a clear blue
ind yellcw flame.
"I suspected that the birds were like
bats, living in caves, and that we had '
camped in close proximity to such an un
derground roost, inuring rue rusn i nan
imagined several times that I heard a J
rumbling sound under foot, and I was
correct, as was proved the next day,
when I found about 800 feet from the
camp tho entrance of a cave. Our camp
had been right in the path of the birds,
which rushed out every evening at dusk.
The cave entrance was about twenty feet
ucross, and covered with feathers and
^uano. I tell you it took nerve to go in,
but, arming ourselves with clubs and
lighting material, we pushed on. For some
twenty yards it was easy enough, but
then the path suddenly turned abruptly
downward, changing our direction, and
11 walk of a hundred feet led us into a
large hall, perhaps one hundred and fifty
feet high. Up to this time I had only
used a small bull's-eye light that I always
carried, and as we saw no birds I
thought I would have an illumination, so
1 set oil a red ugm. neii, .sir, mac
fame such a thundering scream and volley
of echoes that I thought the whole
Andean chain was falling on us. The
native went on his knees, and I felt like
following suit. In fact, I did fall flat a
moment later to avoid the rush. The
light showed a most astonishing spectacle.
Every crevice of the wall was
filled with birds and nests. As the birds
Happed their wings the entire cave seemed
walicd with them, while the air became
every moment more densely filled, so
that, as I said. I was forced to lie down
and press my fingers in my cars. They
dashed at us through the light, striking
with their wines. At first I knocked
them down by the score, but a regiment
r>f men could not have fought against
them, so I literally laid low until the birdstorm
blew over.
' We sat there over an hour before we
ventured to move, and then, the native
refusing to go, I pushed further in and
saw that the cave was a monster breedingplace
for the birds. Their rushes at us
were evidently to protect their youn*;,
niid, though it seems incredible that so
<mail a bird could endanger a human
life, I have no doubt that they would
beat a man down if he stood up, and confuse
him so that he would never get out,
ind I understood that the story told me
ibout men who had ^one. in the cave and
never came out might will he true. N>
[ returned to the native, wh) was demoralized,
and we made our way out into
lay-light, thankful to escape."

Their actions were very amusing, and
their ball looked and felt like a potato

on a huge pile of high boulders overlooked
the scene, and busied themselves
in nursing rag dolls, whose wooden heads
showed skill of carving that seems wonderful
in these untaught people. These

tribes of the plains that any progressive
person would naturally become interested

carefully the way that she staked

that he would be able to "hedge" the

Beware of making your moral staple
consist of the negative virtues. It is
good to abstain and teach others to abstain
from all that is sinful or hurtful.
But making a business of it tends to
emaciation of character unless one feeds
largely also on the more nutritious diet
of active, sympathetic benevolence.

and finding relief in Hunt's Remedy I continued.its

HIS OWN EXECUTOR.
k Well-known GenUemmji'g PhU&ntfnropy "
ud the Gomniotlon Ctaied by One tr Bu
Letter*.
[Roehuter Democrat and Chronicle],
We published in our local columns yesterday
morning a significant letter from a gentleman
known personally or by reputation to
nearly every porson in the land. "We hare |
received a number of letters 'protesting ;
against the use of our columns for such "pal- j
pable frauds and misrepresentations;" there* {
lore, to confirm beyond a doubt the authen- i
ticity of the letter, and the genuineness of !
its sentiments, a reporter of this paper was '
<vimmissioned to ascertain all the possible | i
facta in tho matter. Accordingly he visited i
Clifton Springs, saw the author of the letter,
and with the folloi#ing result: 1
Dr. Henry Foster, the gentleman In question,
is M or 64 years of age and has an extremely
cordial manner. He preeKleo as superintendent
oyer the celebrated sanitarium
which accommodates over fire humlred |
guests and is unquestionably the leading !
health resort of the country. Several years j
ago this benevolent man wisely determined
to be his own executor; and, therefore turned
over this maznifleent property, worth $300,030,
as a free gift to a board of trustees, |
representing the principal evengelical de- i
nominations. Among the trustees are Bishop
A C. Coxo, Protestant Episcopal, Buffallo;
Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia,
Methodist Episcopal; lYesident M. B. Anderson,
of the Univei-sity of Rochester: Rev.
Dr. Clark, Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M.,
Boston. The benevolent purpoee of the in- |
stitution is the care: 1st?of evangelical I
missionaries and their families whoso health
has been broken in their work. ?d?of i i
ministers, of any denomination, in good i j
standing. 3d?of members of any church
who otherwise would be unable to secure
such care and treatment. The current expenses
of the institution are met by the receipt
from the hundreds of distinguished
and wealthy people who every year crowd
its utmost capacity. Here come men and
women who were once in perfect health, but
neglected the first symptoms of disease. The
nn(v*r+Ain nnins thpv felt at first were over
looked uutil their health became impaired.
They little realized tbe danger before them,
nor how alarming even trifling ailments
might provo. They constitute all classes,
including ministers and bishops, lawyers,
judges, statesmen, millionaires, journalists,
college professors and officials from all parts
of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re- ,
marked: "Doctor, that letter of yours has
created a good deal of talk, and many of our
readers has questioned its authenticity." ,
"To what do you refor," remarked the doc- i
tor. I
"Have you not seen the paper ?"
' Yes, but I have not had time to read it
yet."
The reporter thereupon showed him the
letter, which was as follows:
Clifton Springs Sanitarium Co., )
prmwio tddtmfiu at "v 11.18si. f
UiJirxvn *.y --j /
Dear Sir: I am using "Warner's Safe Cure,
and I regard it as the best remedy for some
forms or kidney disease that we have. I am
watching with great care some cases I am
now treating with it, and I hope for favorable
results.
I wish you might come down yourself, as
I would like veiy much to talk with yon
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution.
Yours truly,
[Signed] Henry Foster, M. D.
"I do not see why anybody should be skeptical
concerning that letter," remarked the
doctor.
"Isn't it unusual for a physician of your
standing and influence to commend a proprietary
preparation i
"I don't know how it may be with others,but
in this institution we allow no person to dictate
to us what we shall use. Our purpose is
to euro the sick, and for that worlc we use
anything we know to be valuable. Because
I luiow W arner's Safe Cure is a very valuable
preparation, I commend it. As its power
is manifested under my use, so shall 1 add to
the completeness of my commendation.''
"Have you ever analyzed it, doctor 1"
"We always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do- not know the
constituents. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the all important
proportions. The remarkable power
of Warner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists
in the proportions according to which its elements
are mixed." While there may be a
thousand remedies made of the same ele
ments, unless they are put together in proper
proportions they are worthless as kidney and
liver preparations.
" I hope some day to meat Mr. Warner personally,
and extend fuller congiatulations to
him on the excellence of his preparations. I
have heard much of him as the founder of the
Warner Observatory, and as a man of large
benevolence. The reputed high character of
the man himself gave assurance to me in the
first place that he would not put a remedy
upon the market that was not trustworthy;
and it was a source of a good deal of gratification
to me to find out by actual experiment
that the remedy itself sustained my impressions."
The conclusion reached by Dr. Foster is
precisely the same found by Dr. Dio Lewis.
Dr. Robert A. Gunn, ex-Suigeon-General
Gallagher and others, and proves heyond a
doubt the great efficacy of the remedy which
has awakened so much attention in tne land
and rescued so many men. women and children
