WHAT PUZZLES THE DOCTORS.
A Alan with lil? Heart on lilt IUKIII Side.
Thc Faculty of thc Homeopathic Med
ical College in this city is very much in
terested in a very singular case which
has latch* come under their care for treat
ment. The immediste object of their
endeavors is to restore to ?!.a natural place
in tho left side the heart of Lathrop G.
Wnrford, which fur two years lias been
doing inadequate duty in his right eitle.
Although they deemed it scarcely worth
while to attempt to correct this "freak of
disease when their skill was first invoked,
tho vital organs of the patient were found
to bc so sturdily constituted that great re
lief lias already been expenenccu by i'.o
sufferer, and strong hopes aro entertained
of his permanent cure ultimately.
The historv of tho case is as follow?.
Tu the winter of 1877, Warlord, then a
cashier in French's Hotel, contracted a
severe cold which never, to his knowl
edge, took tho shape of uctive pleurisy,
although its consequences indicate that
pleuritic inflammation must have existed.
He was an active and strong fellow of 23,
and this seizure was his first attack of
acute disease. Despite remedies the cold
progressed, and bia first medical adviser
was of tho opinion that ho was going into
rapid decline, and that his life was worth
at most only a few months' purchase, j
Tho treatment prescribed looked only
toward mitigating bis Bufferings. Late
in tho spring of '77 he had become so
weak that he was forced to givo business,
and he went back to Troy, his native
p'acc, to spend his few remaining days.
Ur. Waldo of West Troy, who become
his medical attendant, was much puzzled
to account for tho absence of uisiiy of
tho symptoms that invariably accompany
consumption. He sounded his patient's
chest, and found that the left lung was
completely atrophied and was doing no
duty whatever.
1 'ur.-tiing his investigations he was
dumb-fouuded to find tho young mun's
heart beating in his right side. Warlord
himself was unconscious of tlie shifting
of tho organ. He had never, during his
lifo suffered any discomfort from it, but
alwayB theretofore, when he had occasion
to notice it, he lind alwayB found it on
thc left side where other folks hearts
hang. No such chango of position hr.d
been reported in tho medical experiences
of physicians; and Ur. Waldo was greatly
puzzled to account for it. Dropsy of the
chest was suspected, but thero again the
physician waa put in doubt by the ab
nenco of many characteristic symptoms.
Thu patient was able to lio in any posi
tion, whereas, in other dropsicnl cases,
only particular positions aro found toler
ble by tho afflicted. Tho disease also
manifested itself in bloated sac under
the eyes, in swelling of tho extremities
and in a peculiar opaque palloi, aud all
these symptoms were absent in Warford'n
case. Dr. McLean of West Troy, one of
thc most eminent practitioners in Central
New York, was called in cons i'tation.
Warford had then become ru nfeebled
that tho physicians thought his tenure of
lifo wort li tho risk of an operation to
disclose tbs source of disenso. Thev.
with ono consent, agreed that tho chances
wero largely in favor of his dyiug under
the knife. Very unexpectedly hisstrength
recovered somewhat within the next lew
days, and they decided to risk the opera
tion. By this timo tho doctors had
reached tho conclusion that ho was suf
fering from Pyo-hydrothornx, or purulent
dropsy of the thorax. A large sac of ptiB
and HerouB fluid had completely usurped
the piaco of the vital organs in the left
side, squeezing the left lung until it col
lapsed and withered, and driving the
heart to its now homo on th? right side.
They had also been ablo to locate tho
immedinto sent of the disease. Just two
years ago Dre. McLean and Waldo per
formed tho first operation. Warford was
so feeble at the time that they were afraid
to administer anesthetics, so after forti
fying him with sundry doses of brandy,
tliev began to cut.
TL;? primary incision was mado bo
tween tho fifth nnd sixth ribs, about
eight inches from the spine, on the left
side. A rubber tube, ending in an ex
haustible receiver, was inserted, and
through this nearly eight pinta of puru
lent oerouB matter were discharged. The
patient was almost instantly relieved of
tho oppressed, labored respiration, nnd
within twenty-four hours was up and
around tho house, weak, but. hopeful.
He gathered strength rapidly, aud tho
pbymoi?ris came to tho conclusion that,
despite the double labor thrown upon his
right lung, ho waa freo from active dis
enso in those organs. Tho heart, how
ever, showed no disposition to return to
its natural placo.
Within r. few weeks-Warford grew
worse again, and it became apparent that
thero was another effusion of dropsical
matter upon the thorax. They suffered
it to proceed until his respiration became
seriously interfered with again when they
renewed tho tapping process. In tho six
weeks sinco the first tapping nearly soven
pints of tho purulent fluid had collected
' and were ejected. From that second
tapping uutil now Warford's general
health has been improving. His system
bas responded with increasing activity to
the remedies used, and the necessity for
tapping bas deceased in frequency. He
baa undergone six tappinra, all told, tho
last of which was done in March. Al
together, thiity-nino pinta of tho drop
sical fluid have been drawn from him.
Tho improvement racy be seen in the
circumstance that only four and a half
pinta ?rero drown off by the two last op
erations, although they were mado three
months apart.
Tho patient has returned to this city
and is about engaging again in active
business. Dre. Dowling and Hclmuth,
who have assumed charge of his case,
say that they discover indications of air
forcing itself into tho atrophied lung
again, and aro hopeful that it may bo
encouraged to resumo duty. If it does
so, tho heart may be induced to swing
back to its natural place. They are
about persuaded of the propriety of in
troducing some inflammatory agent into
tho scat of tho disease at tho next tapp
inrr. hopiiif. that, bv brintring about active
inflammation, they will bo able to perm
anently cure the diseased part. This
done,. they profess to seo no reason why
Warford may not again bo a sound man,
with two luiigs doing active duty, and a
heart in ita right plnco. Tho only simi
lar caso in the medical records is that of
a contortionist reported in tho English
medical journals a few months since.
Tho change lu tho position of his heart
U the right sido was too great in his case,
however, and he died.

NEW YORK'S Ai'?DEK MYSTERY.
Tho .-?!-, .'.ii;;?- Crime willoh In II.Ullin;; thu
Detectives.
The murder of Mm. Hull, a well-to-do I
woman and .1 member of Sorosis, a stone's
throw from Fifth avenue, New York, re
main's the current metropolitan mystery,
partly because Mrs. Hull was a very well
known woman, and partly because the
murder was an e\'raordinarv one to
whose perpetrator no clue lum been dis
covered. Tho gcnercl opinion, both of
the police und tho papers, is that the
murder was not the work of professional
criminals, bul was done by come one
living in her home. MM. Hull was
found on her bcd, tied and strangled ; the
knots were in one case such as only aa a
aurgon Would be likely to make, und the
?.vinnie..*.ion of her eves bv a lighted |
candie, to find if tdie were ?till living,
I was a test also needing medical knowl
I edge. The jueces other own clothing selec
ted to bind her were apparently chosen by
some ono familiar with her wardrobe,
and thc act was done by thone minutely
acquainted with her room. Her husband,
a doctor, is under close surveillance, bul
many circumstances render it difficult to
believe that he can be the criminal.
WHO SI H.S. HUM, IH.
Mrs. Hull, ut thc time of her death,
was 08 years of age. Bli ; was married ut
Hi, and two years later went to Loudon
with her husband, where they li ed a
number of years. ?She wa? described al
that limo as a moat beautiful r/omnn.
Upon her return to this country sue grew
very fleshy and lost much of he. beauty.
Sho weighed nearly three hundred
pounds. She was a descendant of the
old ami well-known De Forrest family.
So jiroud was ?he of her ancestry that in |
making her aigi vture she invariably pre
fixed her full maiden name of June L.
De Forrest to the name of Hull.
Among the articles which the robbers j
secured were the contents ol two purses, j
n valuable gold watch and chain, thu
rings which were torn from her lingers,
and various other rings. Among these
were a solitaire diamond, a cluster diu
inond, un emerald set with diamonds,
und a '".'ry valuable cameo ring with a
mosaic sotting. A pair of diamond soli
taire ear-rings is also missing, us well us
a pair of valuable cameo ear-rings und a
diamond cross. In all not less than
$l,f>Ot) or $2,000 worth of jewelry was
taken.
THE BTU A KU EN E8B O K TH K MtfllPElt.
Mrs. Hull when found was tied to the
bed. There were undoubtedly two or
three persons connected with the tragedy.
Ono theory is that they entered thu room
for the purposo of robbery, that thc lady
made n atrong resistance and they took
violent means to keep ber quiet. A piece
of the bed sheet was tied to one ankle
and then passed under the bed and tied
to tho other ankle. Her feet wcro thusi
held at opposite sides of tho bed. Her
elbows were pinioned and her bauds tied.
There was a bandage around her eyes,
aud some heavy cloth hud been twisted
around her neck and wound around her
mouth. Mrs. Hull waa evidently smoth-1
ered and a pillow was used for this pur
pose. One or two men held it tightly
over her face mid mouth unti' one was
quiet. Frightened ut lut thought thal
tlicy might have killed her, they held a
caudle to her eyes, ami so closely that
tho eyebrows were singed. That a can
dle was used is shown by a spot of tallow,
the lady waa dead, and tho robbers, leav
ing much of their booty behind them,
tied. At least this is the theory of some
of tho detectives. Mrs. Hull for years
had been sleeping on tho first floor, in
rear of the parlor. Her husband occu
pied a room in the fourth ?tory. The
couple, to all appearances, were conten
ted and lived happily. Tho houso is a
handsome one, in the middle of the
block between Sixth avenue und 1 .road
way on Weat Forty-second street. Sev
eral people occupied furnished rooms in
tho hotiHe.
WHO mi? IT 7
The question which is now puzzling thc
police is, Who did it? Some contend
that at least three persona were engaged
in the murder, as it could not have taken
lesa than thut number to overpower Mrs. j
Hull and bind her in tho way in which
Bhe was bound. Everything about tho
houso was secure and there was no possi
ble way of gaining an entrance except
through tho front door. There were no
signs of a violent eutry. It is known
thnt Mrs. Hull baa changed servauts
somewhat frequently, and that some of
those which Bhe hos had-all being color
ed-have had a good many callers, and on
this account it luis been suspected that
some of these callers may bavo planned
and exe eu ted tho robbery. At all eveuta
there seems to be but two reaaouablo the
ories. Ono is thnt nomo persons in the
houso did tho deed, and the other that
some ono opened tho door and let the
murderers in. A few days ago Mrs. Hull's
pet dog died. It was a vicious little thing
and a perfect watch dog. It is now
thought that the dog was poisoned. The
high polico officials seom to have settled
down tc a positivo opinion as to how tho
murdev was committed. They also think
that they can point out ono at least of
the murderers. It ia certain that they no
longer consider tho case a mystery im
possible of solution. They have, on tho
contrary, made up their minds flint the
murder was committed by ono or more
porsons in tho house, and that the ab
straction of the jewels was nota robbery
in fact, but was simply intended to make
it appear that tho crime wan tho work of
professional thieves. Superintendent
Walling and bia assistants are now work
ing in accordance with this view of the
case, and aro hopeful of proving tho cor
rectness of it before very long. It ic un
derstood that the discovery of tho bum
ing of tho dead woman's eyebrows was
one of tho first incidents which set the
minds of the detoctives working in thia
direction. They argued that tho experi
ment of holding a lighted candle close to
the eyes of a person supposed to be dead
is scarcely one which would suggest itself
to tho mind.of an ordinary thief or an
unprofessional person, and in following
up tho train of thought suggested by this
iden, it is said that they uiscovcred sev
eral pieces of strong circumstantial ovi
dp.no.? which confirmed their theory. Sn
?ierintondcnt Walling expects to find the
owels in tho houso. and is making a
thorongh search. Hie house in being
very strictly guarded, and Dr. Hull is
never for a momcnt allowed out of eight.
A Thought on Futuro Retribution.
Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or any
ono else may think, or theorize, concerning
the doctrine of future retribution, certain
it is that naturo is an uncompromising
believer in its Certainty and justice. Do
yourself tho willful injury of violating
the conditions of health, ncr retribution
is sure a^d often apparently far exceed
ing in pi?i?ortion the sin. Lato hours,
irregular meals, overeating, excesses of
all hinds, are followed by "liver com
plaint," dyspepsia, and sympathetic dis
orders of the brain. In women the
ssme excesses, augmented by the wearing
of tight or insufficient clothing, tho sus
pension of heavy skirts from tho hips,
eta, invariably produce those weaknesses,
and diseases peculiar to the sex. Re
peated attacks of cold, due to exposure,
inevitably produce catarrh, and in some
caces consumption. Tho liberal party
have ono argument in their favor in tho
fact that Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines
are sure and elhr.ent rem?dies for these
retributivo distases. The Golden Medi
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgativo
Pc1 lets, fer the diseases of the stomach
and Uwif, are unexcolled^.whllo the Fa
vorite Prescription enjoys the highest
reputation of all remedies for female dis
eases and weaknesses.

Novelist's New IlimU.
Ocorge Eliot's new book, "Impression*
of TheonbraatusSuch," contains a strong
paper called "The Modern Hep! Hep!
Hep!" which i* u vigorous plea for tho
modem Jew. j i ?ays:
The eminence, thc nobleness, of n pro
pic, depends on ita capability of being
stirred hy memories and of striving fur
what wc call spiritual cuds-ends which
consist not in immediate material pos
session, hut in the satisfaction of a great
feeling that animates the collective body
with,one soul. A people having the
seed of worthiness in it must feel an an
swering thrill when it is adjured by tho
deaths of ?Ls heroes who died to preserve
its national existence; when it is remin
ded of its small beginnings and gradual
growth through pnst labors anil strtig
t'es, such asarestill demanded of it in or
der that thc freedom and well-being thus
inherited may he transmitted unimpaired
to children and children's children, wheu
an appeal against the permission of in
justice is made to great precedents in its
history and to tho breathing in its insti
tutions. It is this living force of scnli
mei ' in common which makes a nation
al consciousness. Nations so moved will
resist conquests with the very breasts of
their women, will pay their millions and
their blood to abolish slavery, will share
privations in famine and all calamity,
will produce poets to sing "some great
?.tory of a man," and thinkers whose
theories will bear the test of action. All
individual man, to be harmoniously
great, must belong to a nation ol this
order, if not in actual existence, jct ex
isting in thu past, in memory, as a depar
ted, invisible, beloved ideal, once a real
ity and perhaps to be restored. A com
mon humanity is not yet enough to feed
the rich blood of various activity which
make a complete man.
As to the future of the Jews as a na
tion, George Idiot holds certain positive
views which are worthy of being set
forth fully and in which theres is much
food for meditation :
And this is tho usual level of thinking
in polite society concerning tho Jews.
Apart from theological purposes, it
seems to bo held surprising that anybody
should take ail interest in the history of
a people whoso lit< rature has furnished
all our devotional language ; and if any
reference is made lo their past or future
destinies some hearer is sure to state as
a relevant fact which may assist our
judgment that she, for her part, is not
fond of them, having known a Mr. Jacob
son who was vory unpleasant; or that
he, for his part, thinks meanly of them
ns n race, though on inquiry you find
that he is uo little acquainted with their
characteristics that ho is astonished lo
learn how many persons whom ho has
blindly admired and applauded are Jews
to tho backbone. Again, men who con
sider themselves in the very van of model 'i
advancement, knowing history and tho
latest philosophies ol' history, indicate
their contemptuous surprise that any
ono should entertain tho destiny of the
Jews ns n worthy subject, hy referring to
Moloch aid their own agreement with
tho theory thut the religion of Jehovah
V/OB merely a transformed Moloch wor
ship, while in thc same breath they are
glorifying "civilization" as a transformed
tribal existence of which soma linea
ments aro traceable in grim marriage
customs of tho nativo Australians. Are
these erudite persons prepared to insist
the name- "Father" should no longer
have any sanctity for us, because in their
view of likelihood our Aryan ancestors
were mere improvers on a state of things
in which nobody knew his own father?
For less theoretic men, ambitious to
be regarded as practical politicians, tho
value of tho Hebrew race has been meas
ured by their unfavorable opinion of a
primo minister who is a Jew by liuenge.
but it is so possible to form a very ugly
opinion as to tho scrupulousness of Wn?
1>olo or of Chatham, and in every coso
think Englishmen would refuse to ac
cept tho character and doings of those
eightccn-century statesmen as the stan
dard value for the English people and
tho part they have to play in tho for
tunes of mankind.
If wo aro to consider tho futuro of the
Jens nt all, it seems reasonable to
take as a preliminary question : Are
they destined to complete fusion with the
fieuples among whom they are dispersed,
using every retnunnt of a distinctive con
sciousness us Jews, or aro there in tho
breadth and intensity with which the
feeling of separatcdness, or what we may
call the organized memory of a national
viciousness, actually exists in tho
world-wido Jewish communities-the
seven millions scattered from east to
west-and again, uro ibero in thc politi
cal relations of the world, tho conditions
present or approaching for tho restora
tion of a Jewish State planted on thc old
ground ns a centre of national feeling, a
source of dignifying protection, a special
channel for special energies which may
contribute some added form of national
genius and an added voico in the cou:.eil
of tho world.
They are among us everywhere ; it is
useless to say we uro not fond of them.
Perhaps wo aro not fond of proletaries
and their tendency to form unions, but
tho world is not therefore io be rid of
them. If wo wish to freo ourselves from
tho inconveniences that wo have to com
plain of, whether in proletaries or in
Jews, our best coarse is to encourage all
means of improving theso neighbors who
elbow uu in a thickening crowd, and of
sending their incommodious energies
into beneficent channels. Why aro wo
so eager for tho dignity of populations
of whom perhaps wo have never seen a
singlo specimen, and of whoso history
legend or literature wo havo been con
tentedly ignorant for ages, while we
sneer nt tno notion of a renovated na
tional dignity for tho Jews, whoso ways
of thinking and whoso very verbal forms
are on our lips in every prayer which we
end with an Amen? Some of us consider
this question dismissed when they have
said that the wealthiest Jews have no de
siro to forsake their European palaces
and go to live in Jerusalem. Hut in a
return from exile, in tue restoration ol u
people, the question is not whether cer
tain rich men will choose to remain be
hind, but whether thero will ho found
worthy reen who will choose to lend tho
return. Plenty of prosperous Jows re
mained in Ilabylon when Ezra mar
shalled bis bond of forty thousand and
began a now glorious epoch in tho histo
ry of his race, making tho preparation
for that epocli in tho history of the
world which has been held glorious
enough to bc dated from forevermore.
Tho bingo of possibility is simply tho
existence of an adequate community of
feeling os well as widespread need in tho
Jewish race, and the hope that among its
fluor specimens there may arise somo men
-.f instruction and ardent public spirit,
somo new Ezras, some modern Macca
bees, who will know how to uso all fa
voring outward conditions, how to tri
umph by heroic examples over the indif
ference of their fellows and tho scorn of
their foes, mid will steadfastly set their
facos towards making their people once
more one among the nations.
Formerly evangelical orthodox; was
prone to dwell on thc fulfillment of
Srophecy in tho "restoration of tho
eire." Such interpretation of the
prophets is less in vogue now. The
dominant mode is to insist on a Chris
tianity that disavows Ste origin, that is j
not a substantial growth having a genea
logy, but is a vaporous reflex of modern
notions. Tho Christ of Matthew had the
heart of a Jew: "Go ye to the lost
sheep of the bouso of Israel." The Apos
tle of the Gentiles bad the heart of a
Jew : "For I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my breth
rvn, my kinsmen according to tho flesh,
who aro Israelites, to whom pertaineth
thc adoption and thc glory, and tho cov-1
cuanta, and tho giving of thc law, and
the service of God, nod the promises,
whose are the fathers and of whom as
concerning thc flesh Christ came."
Modern apostles extolling Christianity
aro for nd using a different tone; tl ey
prefer the meditt-'val cry translated into
mod? rn phrase. Hut the mediteval cry,
too, was in substance very ancient-more
ancient than the days of Augustus, Pu
gp:i iii successive ages said: "These
p. or?lc sre unlike us and refuse to bc
made alike us ; let us punish them." Tho
Jews were steadfast in their separateness,
and through that separateness Christiani
ty wa? born. A modern book on Liberty
has maintained that from thc freedom
of individual men to prrsist in idiosyn
crasies the world may he enriched. \\ hy
should wo not apply this argument to
th- idie3"2cra."." of ?. nation end "?suse
in our haste to hoot it down ? There is
still a great function for the steadfastness
of the .Jew; not that lie should shut out
the utmost illumination which knowl
edge can throw on his national history,
but that bc should cherish tho ?toro of
inheritance which that history has left
him. Every Jt should be conscious that
he is ono of a ut. Ititude possessing com
mon objects of piety in the iminort.il
achievements and immortal sorrows of
ancestors who have transmitted to them
a physical and mental type strong
enough in faculties, pregnant enough
with peculiar promises, to constitute a
new b?n?ficient individuality among the
nations, r> I by confuting traditions of
scorn nobly avenge the wrongs done to
their fathers.
There is a sonso in which a worthy
child of a nation (hat has brought forth
illustrious prophets, high ami unique
among the poets of the world, ia bound
by their visions.
Is bound '!
Yes; for the effective bc ,d of human
action is feeling, and the worthy child
of a people owning tho triple name ol
Hebrew, Israelite and Jew feels bis kin
ship with the glories and Horrowa, thc
degradation and the possible renovation
of his national family.
Will any one teach the nullification o
this feeling and call ilia doctrine a phil
osopliy ? He will tench a blinding super
stilton-tho superstition that a theory o
human well-being can be constructed ii
disregard of the influences which havt

colored, with occasional flushes, or
a circumscribed spot on one or both
< hc?ks; the eyes become dull; the pu
pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs
.dong the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir

accompanied by hiccough ; cough
sometimes dry and convu'..-- ;e ; uneasy
and disturbed sleep, with grinding of
thc teeth ; temper variable, but gener
ally irritable, &c.
Whenever the above symptoms
are found to exist,
DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE
will certainly effect a cure.
IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY
in any form ; it is an innocent prepara
tion, not capable of doing the slightest
injury to the most tender infant.
The genuine DR. MCLANE'S VER
MIFUGE bears the signatures of C. Mc
LANE and FLEMING BROS. on thc
wrapper. -:o:
DR. C. MoXiANE'S
LIVER PILLS
are not recommended as a remedy "for all
the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections
of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints,
Dyspepsia and Sick I Ieadache, or diseases of
that character, they stand without a rival.
AGUE AND FEVER.
No better cathartic can bc used preparatory
to, or pfter taking Quinine.
As a simple purgative they arc unequaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine arc never sugar coated.
Each box has a red wax seal on the ?id with
the impression DR.MCLANK'S LIVER Pl! i.s.
Each wrapper bears the signatures of C.
Mc LANE and FLEMING PROS.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. Mc

full of imitations of the name Mc I AI nc,
spelled differently but same pronunciation.

REMARKABLE Cl'RE OE SCROFULA, dc.
Zutt of Col. J, C. Brauton.
KTSORTON, GA., September 15, 1871.
GKNTS-Fer sixteen years I bavo bean n great
Miirervr from Scrofula in Its most distressing forms.
1 have bceu confined to my room ami hint for Of
teen years with scrofulous ulcerations. The most
approved remedies for such casca had been used,
and the most eminent physician? consulted, with
out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis
tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of
Floyd County, Ga., ta commence thu use of your
Compound Extract Stillingla. Language ls aa In
sutliclent to describe the relief I obulned from tho
usu of thc Stillingla os it ii te convey an adequate
Idea of the intensity of my autferlng btforo u?ing
your nu.Hoi nu ; MI.Meir nt to tay, I abandone*! all
other remedies and continued the ute of your Ex
tract of Stillingia, until I esn aar truly, "I nm
cnn.1 nf all pain," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct tho active pursultof my profession. More
dan eight months havo elapsed since this re
markable euro, without auy return of the disease.
For the truth of the above statement, I refer to
any gentleman In Rsr'o?- County, (ia., and to tho
members of the bar of Chcrokco Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obedient aervsnt,
J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law.
A MIRACLE.

gan to work out of tho right arm, and continued
fo appear till all the bona from tba elbow to tba
shnuldur joint came out. Many pieces of t>one
came out of the right foot and i--:;. Tho case waa
then pronounced une of While Swelling. After
having been confined about alx years to ber bed,
and the ?ase considered hopeless, 1 was luduced to
try Hr. Pcmborton's Compound Extract of Slllltu
f;ln, and was so well satisfied with its effect? that I
lave continued the uso nf lt until tho present.
My daughter wu confined to her lied about six
year? before she sst up or even turned ove* with

of her time-has walked across the room. Her

of your invaluable medicine.
With gratitude, I am yours truly,
