Mazie Gza??t's Story. -o I shall always remember how grat ified I was to learn that my general appearance and my excellent recom mendations had so greatly pleased the young Baroness d'Hautevilie as to have made my engagemeut in her service a matter of certainty. The day ou which I had called upon the lady in answer to her adverti>ement for a competent femme dc chambre, ' she har! delighted me with her gen tle soavity of manner, her luminous, liquid black eyes, her strangely-con trasting wealth of deep-gold hair, and her absolutely faultless figure, in which grace and delicacy, symme try and fragility, were mingled, as I have never seen them mingled, be fore or since. On the following day there arrived a little ncte at my lodg ings, bearing the D'Hautevilie crest, and perfumed with a sott delicious odor. The baronesskad taken my address yesterday, because convinced that her adve tisem.-nt wouid be answered by no applicant for the situation more satisfactory thau myself, Marie Gra dot. And her conviction had proved a true one, after seeing all the other applicants who visited her. I was very much flattered. . Apart from the luck of having obtained so thorough ly first-class a situation, I could not but feel more than pleased by the prospect of so charming and beauti ful a mistress as the young baroness. It was then early May, and ver}* shortly after my engagement in the baronialfamily-which consisted, by the-by, merely of one newly-wed ded couple-Monsieur and Madame d'Pauteville left Paris for theil' really superb residence, the Chateau d'Haute vilie, in Normandy. Thither, of course I accompanied them, being now more charmed than ever with the sweet manners o! my mistress, and feeling that I had obtained a situation as per manent as it was agreeable. Life at the chatep.u was very indo lently spent by husband and wife duriug the first fornight after their arrival. In the morning they took a horseback-ride about the immense chateau grounds, each mounted on exquisite horses, and the baroness looking a very dream of beauty in her dark-blue ridiDg-habit with sil ver buttons, and a black-plumed hat which made even more brilliant that marvelou.?-colored hair o? hers. The rest of the day was passed almost in variably in walking, driving, playing chess, and various other occupations of the amusing kind. I often wondered whether the baron ever thought'of how much happiness he had found in the combination of a charminv, wife on the ono hand,, and a reliable steward on the other. Good, rle ver little Pierre Millard seldom Trouble:! him with business, and man aged matters faultlessly. In appea rance the baron was tin exact reverse of his polite, lovely wife. He had the florid face, and the thick, close-curling beard, and tin dark eyes of a thorough Frenchman But his frame was vast and herculean in its proportions. He looked al most a gi:mt beside his slender deli cate bride ; and in age, as I afterward learned, he was madame's senior by more than ten years. The constant companionship of ba ron and baroness lasted until the end of May. After that period company began to arrive. Room by room the ?noi-mous chateau filled itself with gay pleasure-seeking guests, from blooming young girls to withered old grandmammas, from splendid gallants to gouty old noblemen ; where only the most solemn, unbroken quiet had before reigned, laughter and merry making now sounded from dawn till dark. For my part, I liked the change, though it was a great surprise to me. My mistress smiled her charming smile, and laughed her pretty, musi cal laugh when I told her how I had imagined that all simmer at the cha teau was to be as q ii et as those two weeks had boen. " Why, Marie," she said, "did you suppose that the baron and I were to pa33 a perpetual honeymooon togeth er ?" "Hardly that, madame." " Remember," the baroness contin ued, " that Monsieur d'.Hauteville's position at court is of a nature to prevent anything like a very long se clusion. He holds so important a place under government, that to en tertain is an absbltr?a necessity." We were together in the baroness's boudoir as the?e words '.vere spoken. For the first time si me my knowl edge pf. the ladv- oC?-ix, 1 caught a trace of conscious pride in both voice And manner. JIM^I-------U " Oh, yes, madame," I murmur humbly enough, burying a pearl-sti 'erl comb as I spoke into the sill ?ppth of that superb bair, "y( husband is a great gentleman, a ! ?.re J great lady. It is et n ugh to tell .that, by the deferer th which all these other fine p< pl? treat you." I had e"xpocf'ed to see a repetiti i hat same conscious pride eitl madame's expression or else in 1 ivspouse. On the contrary, howev uer face saddened a little, and t voice that answered me was son thing that might almost be term mournful. " Yes, Marie, I am a great la now, as you say. But, perhaps, af all, my retired, placid life in Lorrai: where the baron first found and \o\ me, was pleasanter than this li There I used often to milk the coi and feed the chickens, and help chvj the butter-just from inclination, y know. Theu I had my fiower-gard to tend in summer-time; that \i such a pleasure! I can see it now, < ly a little walk from the rear-dc of the chateau. But, ah ! how o it sounds to call that home a chate after looking round at the splend< of this!" Here the baroness turn suddenly toward me, and broke int? mei ry laugh. "I'm sure that y consider me very dissatisfied, Mar and all that. I don't doubt but wi I am. Ma fal it's nearly' six o'clo< and I am put yet dressed for dinnei I remember that I dressed her lavender satin and pearls that eve ing, and, several hours later, watch from a little hidden point of obsen tion in one of the outside passaj how gloriously beautiful she look among all those guests who filled t spacious drawing-rooms. There ^ not one of them who could comps with her. I was sure that the bar thought so too, for, more than om his eyes wandered from those of soi sparkling demoiselle or bewitchi young matron to where his wife char ed to be seated, conversing with certain remarkably handsome mi whose general appearance was stn ingly different from any of the off guests. The name of this gentleman w Monsieur Horace Lavaloir, who h i.itely risen to very sudden Parisi distinction by the publication of book-on what subject I am not awa: To judge from the man's face, Ishou say that it was a book of poems, mo spirited and passionate than ai which Alfred de Musset or f?ei Murger ever wrote. His eyes were of the sort whi show depths of almost fathomle brilliance. His dark hair curled soft, rich masses over a classic for head. His face and features we more like those of some living stati by Borne great sculptor than the wo of nature, who so seldom gives perfectly handsome men, notwit standing her numbers of beautif women. In his dress, Monsieur L valoir's eccentricity was quite r markable. JI e wore collars low abo the throat, and indulged in nothii that was stiff or ceremonious. I was not a favorite with many of tl guests at D'Hauteville, though th? all acknowledged his literary err nence. As days passed on, I bogan to di cover the reasons of Monsieur L valoir's unpopularity : he cared I talk to no one whom he did not pe sonally like, he despised anything th resembled pretence, and he abhom being lionized. Was there another reason still Did the guests at D'Hauteville di cover that he valued their sociei far below that of the baroness ? Assuredly it would seem so. Tl most unobserving could not have fai ed to notice, after awhile, with wh? persistence Monsieur Lavaloir di voted himself to Madame d'Hauti ville. Departures were constantly bein made from the chateau, and new &: rivals were constantly filling the V? cancies they caused. But, althoug a space of nearly three weeks ha now elapsed since Monsieur Lavaloir first appearance as the baron's gues he still lingered at D'Hauteville, tb last of those who had first entere its doors. It was now too evident that his al tentions had not been without thei result upon the baroness. Usuall talkative when with me, she ha shown of late a-musing sadness, thoughtful reserve, which I coul not fail to explain by one cause, an only one. I saw it all very clearly : she ha never really loved Monsieur d'Haute ville, and had married him, as s many a Frenchwoman marries, wir! nothing that resembled inquiry int the state of her own feelings. Am now the result had come-the inevi table result of her loveless marriage She was fascinated by Monsieur La valoir, and, if still unmarried, he rather than any baron, or duke, o: prince, would have been the object o her maidenly worship. With hundreds of women, I tole myself, there would have been safetj in this attachment becoming an actua liaison under the husband's very eyes Parisian ladies and gentlemen, an( especially those to whom the foll ie: and flippancies of court-life are fami liar, seldom hesitate at what the\ have grown to consider merely ? lukewarm piece of immorality. Bul with the Baron d'Hauteville I fel co :vinced that nothing of this son would be allowed, even if the baro ness, pure as she now was, should fol low the example of so many of he: countrywomen. He loved his wife with a veritable passion, and the fires of jealousy were already aroused within him. I saw that he had begun to hate Monsieur Lavaloir. I saw, also, that he was using great control in his ef forts not to seem displeased with mad ame's'behavior. He was saying to ' himself : " I will not be too hasty. I ' will give both of them a chance." I silently praised him for his tolerance, and trembled at the turn which affairs were taking. One morning Monsieur Lavaloir left the chateau, and I, who at last had the pleasure of witnessing his departure, breathed a mute prayer of thankfulness. That evening, on en tering madame's chamber for the purpose of dressing her for dinner, I found my mistress with her head against the edge of the toilet-table, sobbing and weeping bitterly. I stood aloof for a moment, not daring to act as consoler, guessing only too well the cause of her grief, indeed, I wasaboat leaving the cham ber when she raised her tear-stained face, and murmured, in faint, broken tones : " Stay, Marie.. I am yery misera ble. You don't know why. I ajn afraid to tell you why-even you, my good, trustworthy Marie." ' I was kneeling at her side an in stant later. " Oh, Madame, I do know the rea son of your grief! I wish that Mon? sieur Lavaloir had never entered chateau ; until he came you were h py. Until then-V " Hush, Marie ! You are speak too loudly." Her hand, that sal soft, exquisite hand ! was pressing < of mine. "While I bent my head a kissed it, she went on ; " You are ; only friend, Marie. Will you dc favor for me-a little favor that v -how-if you really love me?" " I- do love you, madame," I ? sw red, with averted face ; and ti was all I dared answer. It was ei enough to guess the nature of 1 favor which she was going to ask favor which I was sure concerr the carrying of some message 1 tween herself and Monsieur L?vale I was right. Presently mada: continued, in soft, persuasive toni " He is at M-, Marie, hardh quarter of a mile beyond the chate grounds. If you will take this ni tn at I am going to write to him, is the only errand of the sort on whi I shall ever seek to send you. ] did not go to Paris this morning, all supposed. I might send the ni by one of the other servants, but th there is every chance of the baro discovering it if I did so." I arose as madame finished spei ing. " I cannot; play so wicked a par I said, " dearly asl love you. 3 deed, for the reason of my love, cannot take the note, madame."' " You believe that there is harm what I intend writing ?" " Why should I believe otb wise ?" \ " Well, then, I will prove that th< is no harm whatever.' Madame rose hastily, went to 1 writing-table, and began to wri Certainly five minutes nad not ela] ed before she read me a note fri herself to Monsieur Lavaloir, in whi she declined, with concise, almi severe, sentences, what had evidei ly been a proposition to elope wi him. " I believed that the errand wot: be far different from this," I exclai ed, when she had finished. " Glad madame, will I carry that no And may God prosper you in tl wise resolve 1" Not long afterward, having recei ed directions from madame precise where Monsieur Lavaloir was to found, I stole down the grand ma staircase with the note in my har Feeling quite confident just then th Monsieur le Baron was dressing j dinner, I approa ! ad the front e trance. As I did so the door of t library was opened, and my mast came hastily forth into the hall, sudden was his appearance that foi moment my presence of mind coi pletely forsook: me. I started, tur ed scarlet, and impulsively concei ed beneath my shawl the note I w holding. The next thing that- I recollei after the commission of this silly ai is the baron's pale, angry face ve close to mine. " Marie," he said, sternly, " giver that paper." " What paper monsieur?" I stai mered. His tones were ominous as a thu der-growl when he replied : "No ti tiing, if you please." Then he held out his great giant hand. I trembled, hesitated, ar finally remembered, with a thrill i joy, how the note in my possessic contained nothing to condemn, ev rything to exculpate the barones Why should I not give it to her hu band ? There was nothing calli in my situation, either: why snon I behave as though guilt really e: istf.d ? " Read the note, monsieur, if ye desire it," I saH, boldly; and wil these words I produced what I ha just hidden beneath my shawl. The baron eagerly seized the whi square of paper. I saw his eyi bfaze as he glanced at the superscri] tion. " Read it, monsieur," I repeatei " and you will then know how litt" cause you haYe for being angry wit Madame la Baronne." While I spoke he had torn open th envelope. I shall never forget th awful change that overspead nis fae as he read what it contained. I neec ed no one to tell methat this mute a? ony of grief could not have been cam ed by the words which my mistrei had. a short while previous, give me to understand that her missiv contained. While I stood watching him in s: lent surprise, he suddenly turned, wit a faint groan on his lips, and entere the library, closing the door with vi olence. I flew up-stairs to madame's chain ber. " Monsieur le Baron has read you note !" I exclaimed, purposely speak ing with great abruptness, and, as spoke, watching her very keenly. Every particle of color left he cheeks. " Mon Dieu! Mane, I am lost!" "Lost, madame!" I repeated. "Yes. I never wrote what I reai you. That note contained an oath a solemn oath-that I would mee Monsieur Lavaloir at M-to-mor row afternoon, and fly with him !" " Good heavens !" I murmured. " There is net even time to ask yoi by what stupid blunder you allowee the baron to see my note. Perhap it was not a blunder, only treacheiy.' The baroness was speaking witl scornful emphasis while ransacking ? wardrobe in one corner of the bou doir. After not more than a moment') search, she had drawn therefrom t plain bonnet and a dark-gray shawl " Madame," I exclaimed, "you are certainly not going out!" She was bonneted and shawled Dy this time. " Yes ; I am going to save him whom you have so contemptibly be trayed." Her face was ghastly as she stood in the doorway now. I rushed forward, clasped her un willing hand in both of mine, and ex cused myself as I best could in a few rapid words. Notwithstanding the deception she had practiced upon me, I could not but love her and sympath ize with her. "I was wrong to suspect you, Marie, even for a moment, 'she said, when I had finished. " Forgive, but do not detain me. I raws?reacn M before my husband." " But Monsieur le Baron has not yet even started." " He will start immediately, how ever. We shall both be absent from dinner to-night.. Say that I am not well if the people ask for me." " Do not go, madame," I pleaded, clutching her shawl. She disengaged 'the -shawl- with a quick, strong jerk. But there was no anger in her. words, as ?he said : "Igo'.o save Monsieur Lavaloir. Mine is a mission of life or death, Marie. ' She glided rapidly away in the di rection of a privatu staircase at the further end ? of the house. I stood watching her until she had disappear ed jjthen I turned and re-entered the boudoir. I need not say what alarm ing thoughts passed through my mind as I sat there waiting for further de velopments. I would nave gone down-' stairs to ascertain whether the baron had left the chateau, had not my mistresses'8 own words about giving the guests to understand that she was not well, reminded me that, as the maid of the baroness, I must be found in her. chamber when dinner was an nounced ready to utter the white lie she had ordered me to utter. Ah! just then I. would ht.ve done far more wicked things than that to save my mistress from her troubles and anxieties ! It may be very wrong to say so ; but such were undoubtedly my feelings at that time. Before long a servant knocked at the door of the boudoir. " Madame is unwell," I said, an swering the knock. " Please tell mon sieur this. Say not?seriously unwell, merely indisposed." "Monsieur is gone out," was the reply. "The baroness had predicted right ly. I tried to show no agitation in the answering of my. fellow-servant. "Thatis too bad," I said. "You had better tell Monsieur de Choisson to take the head of the table. Men tion this to the butler, and I am sure it will strike him aa an excellent idea. If madame is unwell and monsieur is away, that beems no reason why the company should not dine,'.' and I fin ished-the words with, a little laugh. " The butler knows that Monmeur de Choisson is Monsieur le Baron's first cousin." After that the servant departed, and during-the next hour that passed slowly away, I concluded that the butler had taken my advice. Indeed, from certain vague, far-away sounds that occasionally reached me, I felt sure that the guests were dining. It was, perhaps, an hour and a half since my lew words with the servant, and I was still seated in the boudoir when, happening to glance toward my mistress's bedchamber, I saw what brought a cry of astonishment to my lips. Glass folding-doors separated tie boudoir: from the bedchamber, and, though these were closed, the next room, in vhich a dim light burn ed, was distinctly visible. There sat my mistress, dressed just as when she had left that evening. Her head was leaned against the back of the easy-chair which she occupied, and her eyes, in a sort of calm stare, were fixed directly upon me. Beyond a doubt, she saw me, but had no de sire to speak. She looked very pale, and seemed quite exhausted. I remember how pity stirred my heart, and how I long ed to pass beyond thoseglass folding doors to where she sat. I should have done so-should at least have spoken -had it not been for her evident knowledge of my presence. " How strange," I recollect think ing, " that she should have entered that bedchamber, even by its hall door, without my having heard her !" Moments passed by, and still the same calm stare was fixed upon my fact. Presently I arose, and walked toward the door of the boudoir which led into the outer hall. If it was madame's pleasure to tell me nothing of what had passed, I could at least find out below-stairs whether mon sieur had yet returned. This I immediately proceeded to do. The upper hall, on the second floor of the chateau, was a great oaken-ceiled gallery, spacious alike in width and length. I had reached the first step of the main staircase that led below, when I started back, a faint cry on my lips. The baron was ascending. I shall recollect till I die the pallor of his face, and the terrible, changed look about his eyes. He saw me, and sprang forward, reaching the top of the staircase just as I quitted it. An instant later I felt a grasp of steel on my arm, and heard a husky voice in my ear : "Your turn next, traitorous wretch that you are !" My blood was cold with, terror, but I had strength to cry, though quite faintly : " Madame ! madame ! save me !" He released my arm, and drew backward a step or two. " Whom are you calling ?" he asked. "My mistress,"I answered, burst ing into tears. "She has just re turned, and-" He sprang forward again, and again, caught my arm, though this time not roughly. " Tr7?o has returned?" he asked, fixing those same wild, altered eyes upon my face. " The baroness. She is now in her bedchamber, monsieur. As for that note you found me with-" I went on. But I somehow paused ; for Mon sieur d'Hautevilie, still holding my arm,'had passed his disengaged hand across his forehead in so strange a way that a terrible thought flashed through my brain-" He js mad I" " You say that the baroness is now in her bedchamber?" His tones were hoarse and low. He pointed toward the door of the bedchamber as he spoke. " She was there not three minutes ago," I said. " Then it was her ghost /" he cried, close in my ear, finishing the words with a horrible laugh. " I caught her to-night on the road to M-, and strangled her dead. Afterward I found him and shot him. You are the next one, miserable-" But by some strange miracle-I can call it nothing else-I slipped, just here, from the clutches of that enraged giant. It may have been my very weakness that saved me. Per haps, being sure of his prey, he for got for an instant to guard it as closely as he might have done. Any how, I remember that the miracle of my escape was really accomplished, and that I darted down-stairs, and flew, shrieking with terror, right into the lordly dining-room of the chateau, where, all in a blaze of light, the grandees and the noble ladies sat over their fruit and wine. Then I remem ber no more for hours and hours. The baron's story was true, just as i he had told it. Many people yet re member his trial, which followed in Paris a few months later, and which resulted in an acquittal. There were those who indignantly scoffed at the idea of his acquittal, and attributed it merely to the faet of his great social innuence. There were others who sympathized deeply with the baron, aaa were rapturous over the result of his trial. But whether in the eyes of God innocent or guilty. I know that the remaining few years of the Baron d'Hautevilie's life were years of a strange partial insanity worse than death itself-^-an insanity during whose pafrixysms be constant ly was haunted by the ghosts of his two victims. Regarding that presence in the bedchamber of the "baroness on the night of her murder, I have so often thought, that the subject has now lost much of its terror. I have never found any one credulous enough to believe my statement as to having really seen the apparition, ? however. Perhaps, now that I h?ve written out my story and given' it to the world, here and there I shall find an unskep tical reader. But, judging from past experinces, I doubt such a possibility strongly enongh.

BCHEHCX, kt V. . itanj a human being bas pawed away for whose acata, there was no other reason ?han the neglect of known and Indisputably proven means or core. Those near and dear to family and friends aro Bleeping the dreamless slumber Into which, had they calmly adopted BK. JOSEPH ii, SCHENCK'S SOCLE TREATMENT, ai.J availed themselves of his wonderfully effica cious medicines, they would not have ?dlen. Dr. Schenek has In his own case proved that wherever suffldent vitality remains, that vitality, i by bis medicines and his directions for their use, la qulckrued Into healthful vigor. In tills statement there ls nothing presumptuous. To the faith of the Invalid ls made no representation that ls nota thousand timesFubstantlated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck's medicines ls as simple as lt ls unfailing. IU philosophy requires no argument. It ls self-as suring,self-convincing. The Sea-weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which tho citadel of the malady ls assailed. Two-thirds of tho cases of con sumption originate In dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this condition the bronchial tubes "sympathize" with the stomach. They re spond to themorblflcactlon of the liver. Hero then comes the culminating result, and the setting In, with all Its distressing symptoms of ((?Sini'TK?. The Mandrake Pills are composed of one of Na tare's noblest gifts-the Podopl?llum Feltatum. They possess all the blood-search lng, alterative properties of calomel, bot, unlike calomel, they "EE A VE NO STING BEHIND." The work of cure ls now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and In the ali mentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, ls wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins . to feel that he is getting, at last, _ -A SUPPLY or GOOD BLOOD. Th? Sea-weed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pill?, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylifl catlon ls now progressing without its previous tor tures. Digestion becomes painless, and thc cdre ls seen to be at hand. There fa no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite sets In. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an Indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup comes In to perform tts functions and to hasten and complete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature can not be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired and diseased portions of the lungs. DJ the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! In a very short time thc malady ls vanquished, the rotten throne that lt occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of re gamed vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or womanhood that was GIVEN UP AS EOST. The second thing ls, the patients must stay in'a warm room until they get well ; lt Ls almost impos sible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are dis eased, but lt must be prevented or a cure can not be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in tins Bectlon of the country. In the fall and winter sea son, are all wrong. Physicians who reepmmend that course lose their patients, If their lungs are badly diseased; ard yet, because they are in tho house they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must kevp in good spirits-be determined to get well. This has a great deal to do with tho appetite, and ls the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its pos sibility in the worst cases, and moral certainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck's perse J state ment to the Faculty of his own cure was In these modest words: " Many years ago I was in the last stages of con sumption , confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thoughtthat Icould notllveaweek* then, like a drowning man catching at straws, I heard -of and obtained the preparations which I now offer to the public, and they mad? a perfect cure of me. It seemed to mo that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter In my lungs, and I would spit up moro thanapintof offen sive yellow matter every morning for a long time. "As soon as that began to subside, my cough, fever, pains, and night-sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that lt was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since. " I was weighed shortly after my recovery," added the Doctor, " then looking Uke a mere skeleton ; my we.0'htwas only ninety-seven pounds; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five (225) pounds, and for years I have enjoyed uninterrupted health." Dr. Scbenck bas discontinued his professional visit? to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J. H. Scbenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their Office, No. 15 North Sixth Street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 A.M. to 3 Mt Those who wish a thorough examination with the Besplro meterwillbecharged$5. TheEesplrometerdeclares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. The directions for taking the medicines are adapt ed to the Intelligence even of a child. Follow these directions, and kind Nature will do the rest, except ing that In some cases the Mandrake Pills are to be taken in Increased doses; the three medicines need no other accompaniments than the ample Instruc tions that accompany them: First create appetite. Of returning health, hunger is the most welcome symptom. When lt comes, as it will come, lei the despairing at once be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the nlght-?weat ls abated. In a short time both of these morbid symp^ toms are gone forever. Dr. Schenck's medicines aro constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. As a laxative or pur gative, the Mandrake Pills aro a standard prepara tion ; while the Pulmonlc Syrup, as a cure of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophylacteric against consumption In any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonlc Syrup and Sea-weed Tonic, ?L50 a bottle, or 17.50 a half dozen. Mandrake Pills 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers! ra.TOHN F. HENRY, 8 Corego Place.
