At tho San Francisco Midi there was a
deficiency of $235,000 in the Melter and
Refiner's Office in 1856-n great discre
pancy between tho Treasurer's and the
coiucr'a accounts in I860,and large losses
in 1870. Tho Superintendent waa dis
missed forcorrupt prncticesin 1877. Losa
os wero also discovered in 1870 nt thc
Denver Mint nnd tho New York Assay
Office. The New York accounts were
?mased by the Auditor's nnd Com pt roi
er'a offices of tho Treasury without prop
er examination of tho vouchers, which
wero paid by tho Now York Assistant
Trerusuror without tho approval of thc
officers who should have loeeived the
supplies.
Up to 1870 tho Director seemed never
to have examined tho New York Assay
Office, and the mint regulations were hnrd
to find there. Thc report of the Director
of tho Mint for 1877 says (in tables pre
pared by Martin V. Davis of Philadel
phia) tba', tin' gold coinage under Director
Lindeman, 1674-7 inclusive, was$156,
000,000, and greater than that of any
previous four years. This wu? untrue.
The coinage of 1874-7 wo J $100,000,000
($10,000,000 more), and that for 1851-4 in
clusive was $190,000,000, or $24,000,000
more. The Director alao fell into this
error of $10,000,000, and understated by
thia sum tho total gold coinngo of thc
mints. Ho also understated thc gold
coinngo 1851-4 by $1,000,000. Ho sta
ted tho total 1852-8 inclusive at $233,
000,000; but his subordinate. Mr. Davis,
stated ?tin tho same report, for tho Phil
adelphia and Snn Frnncisco mints alone,
nt $247,000,000, over $13,000,000 moro.
Thus according to '.'fficial figures two of.
Ibo minta coined ?-13,000,000 moro than
thc whole five I The San Francisco mel
ter and refiner's returns of bullion above
thc amounts charged aa delivered to him
in tho same report, thusmaking tho mint
$36,000,1854-77 ?B credited to that mint
twice in tho same report, thus making the
mint expenses appear if36,000 lea? than
tho tm'., i.
The . ? .v York AHsay office smelter
and refinor, Mr. Andrew Mason, by
great caro and skill saved and turned in
to the Treasury in 1576-8 $04,000 more
than the bullion delivered him for treat
ment waa charged at. These returns
were suppressed from tho Director's re
porta, being lumped with earnings, and
Mr. Mason waa instructed to rctuin
them os auch, the motive announced
in the instructions being to sin. id tho
minta from nnnoying inquiries as to why
they, instead of returning a surplus Uko
Mr. M asor, they charged tho Govern
ment with a waste. Thun Mr. Mason
waa denied tho credit ho richly deserved
and was in ono report made to appear as
wasting $9,000, in order to hide tho mis
management of others. Tho letter order
ing this suppression waa aigned aa Acting
Director nf tho Mint by Robt. E. Preston,
who figures unpleasantly elsewhere in
connection with cotton i .-counts. In 187G
Congress cut down tho appropriations
asked by tho Director over $300,000, but
Lindeman contrived to amugglo in a
provision allowing the earnings from sep
arating gold from silver, and from refin
ing both, to be used in melting expenses
without going into tho Treasury. Tho
result ia that, evory year since, tho oarn
inga have been spent in addition to tho
f.un.s allowed by Congress, and $3Gv,000
yearly bavo been oxpended without Con
gress suspecting it.
. The New York Assay Office receipts
from the sale of blue vitriol and sulphu
ric liquor in 1873 were stated by tho Di
rector tbere^ nt $11,860.91. Four yeara
later tho annual report atated thom aa
$5,802.5. Both proved to be wrong ; tho
amount waa $10,300.91.
Tho Director^ annual reports for
1873-1-5 state tho receipts aggregating
$2,040,000. The report for 1877 shows
tho samo expenditures to be $2,409,000,
or over $860,000 more thau was acknowl
edged at tho time. Tho expenditure:;
aro shown by the yearly reporta for
1878-6 inclnsivo aa $5,062,000. Tho re
port for 1877 BIIOWB them to be $5,635,000
or over $570,000 more ; $300,000 of thia
suppression was in 1876, the presidential
election year. Of.more than half thia
$572,000 suppression there la not tho
shadow of an explanation. lu 1876 the
items of expenditure wero suppressed
from the annual report.
In tho spring of 1869, 311,400 bara of
ailvor and gold bullion, whoso value waa
unknown, were deposited in the New
York '' Assay offley and moneys wore
loaned thereon to nailing & earner and
:<tbera by Assistant Treasurer Van Dyck.
This waa very dangerous, for gilded bara
of lead or iron could ?bus be used to bor
row on without interest or security. At
least one lot of boxea said to contain
bullion were deposited and borrowed on
in 1869, nnd iaken away on return of tue
lonu without any inspection or test.
This practico was broken up in 1869 by
George W, Edel man, Deputy Treasurer
of tho Assay Office ; but it was revived
the year after Mr. Edelninn resigned by
Director Lindeman, ?oncoming "British
bars and sovereigns," whoso genuineness
had not been tested ; and it continued
till the Glover investigation began, when
Lindeman stopped it..
From I8?6 io 1870 >oe New York As
say office made 338 auch loans, and in
many cases tho borrowers returned tho
coin and took bara, leaving tho Govern
ment to pay for coining the bullion de
posited to obtain tho bare.
In 1878 the Superintendent of the San
Francisco mint sent L. Von Hoffman &
Co. checks for $1,028,000 under instruc
tions from Lindeman, when but $600,000
worth ot their ailver bad been assayed.
Superintendent Acton of tho New
York Assay O in cu baa bvvu in tub habit
of signing cheeta in blank and leaving
them thus in the Paying Clerk's posses
sion. Last year eighty-two blank checks
were found in tho office with Acton's
signature. Tb ia ia a virtual ci-jntlon of
his duty by Acton, for he cannot know
bia clerk's action uor superviso bis pay
ments. A rogue in .the paying clerk's
' place, or a thief getting into tho office,
could fill up a check for a million, and it
might be collected and the parties disap
pear before detection. If necessary the
clerk's countersignature could be forged.
Superintendent Dunning, Acton's prede
cessor, repeatedly got checks made to bia;
own order for sums duo. public creditors.
Then he indorsed the checks to tho cr?d
itera and turned in their receipts with the
vouchers afterward. After a timo . ho
grew alow about turning in the voudio. i
and one day it was discovered that ho,
had collected $18,000 of these ehecks
himself.
Lindeman employed mo*o than a acoro!
of persona in plaiting mints and assay of-!
fices, attending annual settlements, und'
assisting bim in doing ao, for which ho
spent in four yeara over $11,000. Ho
j aid hia son, 19 years old and not in tho'
public servie*.*, $2,755 for leos than six
months' service. TIio law does not al
low traveling expenses to any ono but
tho Director ; to October 1, 1873, ho re
ceived $4,300-charged to this account.
iYrank H. Gussaway, a man of notorious
character in Washington, received $1,
CG8.73 for taking au inventory (IC
pages of foolscap), of furniture and fix
tures at tho San Francisco Mint. At
the close of thc Lindeman investigation
of that mint in 1877, but before tho re
port was made, the Superintendent, La
Grange, who was removed inconsequence
of that investigation, presented Linde
man's wife with $1,000, saying it was a
present from thc employes of thc
mint. Seine of the employes, it is said
complained afterward that they were
compelled to contribute and could ill af
ford it.
When prof. Robert A. Rogers, of Phil:
adelphia, K. O. Leech of the Mint Bu
reau, Washington, md A. W. Oowing,
Chief of the Coining Department of the
I'hiladelphia Mint, were sent to San
Francisco to examine and attend thc
yearly settlement of the Mint, Lindeman
instructed Superint *ident La Orange to
pay their traveling expenses and $10 u
day to Hogers from lue profits of frac
tional silver coinage. ISelorc the (Hover
Committee ho swore that he had never
used these profita thus, hut the record
convicted him.
Lindeman bought in his wife's name,
in 1874, 100 shares of '-,e California and
196 shares of Consolidated Virginia, thc
'Big Bonanza" silver mines of Nevada,
which were < ontrolled hy flood, O'Brien,
Mackey and Fair. For theso ho paid 00
per cent, O? less, about ?25,000. Before
the committee ho had called theso $25,
000 "vcr. modern' mean.-." of his wife's.
In Mar? h, IH7.r>, ie bought of thc Con
solidate Virginia Doro silver bullion,
val :. 1 by thc sellers at $1,023,000, and
paid them $1,000.000 on account without
waiting for the assay to show whether it
was correctly valued, or 08.3 per cent,
of thc vnlue as alterward ascertained.
Tho company got their money two
months before completion of assay, and
were tims enabled io make $15,000 in
terest. In .lune, 187-r>, hu bought of them
imported silver bars valued hy them at
$1,000,000, and paid them $1.420,000
down over two months before completion
of assay, and enabled them thus to make
$25,000 interest. Thc assay showed the
bullion worth but $1,437,000 or $63,000
short of tho valuation, so that he paid
them in advance 98.0 ?ter cent, of tho
value, running a great risk of tho over
paying. Tho bullion was nani for at
$1.21* per ounce fine metal, delivered at
San Francisco. Tho express charges
were paid by tho Government to New
York from tho profits on fractional
silver coinage, instead of hoing paid by
the sellers, and thc charges nt tue Asaaj
Ollico we"o homo by thc Government
without authority of law. These expel?
aos nmounted to $32,000, which mada ll?
silver cost the Government $1.20 per lim
ounce. The market value was $1.24.1
so that thc purchase, as well us cos ti nf
$32,000 moro than Lindeman pretended
cost $13,000 moro than it could ha vi
boen bought for elsewhere. Lindemai
also directed Superintendent Acton t<
pay $9,000 more than tho assayed valut
of tho gold in tho purchase, tho sell
ers claiming that the assayers had math
a "mistake." Acton replied that then
was no a uhority io pay it, but ai Linde
mai.'s direction, after seeking to throv
all tho responsibility on Lindeman, h
paid, and charged it to "profit and loss.1
Prof. I?. Rogers of Philadelphia, au
other stockholder in tho Consolidate!
Virginia, thc sellers, was employed b
Lindeman to make an "examination,'
and of course reported strongly in favo
of making tho payment. William Y
Dubois, Assayer at Philadelphia, prc
tested strongly against "correcting an
Bays at tho instance of outside parties
saying that this destroyed tho roliubiiit;
of assays. Tho payment was hidden i
thc Director's annual report for 1S77, b
calling it a "wastage," whon no waatag
but $14,000 saving, had occurred. Th
payment took placo without tho know!
edge of the New York Paying Clerk, an
without authority from thc Secretary i
tho Treasury. Tho purchase altogellu
cost about $05,000 more than was preter
ded. In tho samo month Lindeman als
took off tho Company's hands nearly $2
000,000 moro silver that they were am
iotis to sell.
January, 1875, the Bonanza stocks, ut
der the efiect of wild reports about tb
mines, were very high in price. Consol
dated Virginia reached 850. Lindeman
$25,000 worth of stock was worth om
$200,000. Rut it fell by October to 21
and California, the other part of the lit
unnza, to 250. So it was bulled agaii
In tho summer of that year Lindema
visited California on ot liri al buaine3
sought a conference with tho manage!
of thc mines, and arr ?ed an inspectia
of them. Ho and Prof. Rogers then t
Boon after, a holder of $20,000 or moi
stock in these mines, inspected thei
twico. Rogers made a report valuin
thom at $300,000,000, which Lindemai
saying that other estimates were tc
high, concurred in and published in h
anuual report for 1875. This was widel
circulated and jumped Consolidated Vi
ginia to435 and.Californiato375. The ri:
carried Lindeman'.-! stock up to 120,01
and his official representations held tl
stock up to 180 ncr original share to tl
end of 1876, and to 115, till tho end
1877. Tho mines only produced about
sixth nf tho amount represented, and tl
stock fell in value about $15,000,000, a
cording to tho Statistician of tho Unit?
States Monetary Commission. Tl
maintenance of tuc stock at high prie
enabled tho owners to sell stoi
enough to realizo about $125,0v'0,00
and tho fall caused the buyers to lo
about $100,000,000, which the first so!
ere pocketed by Lindcman's aid. Til

O. H. Irish, Chief of tho Bureau of ?
graving and Printing, published li

of ibo House Committee on Appropr

Chief of tho Bureau says tbero v:

note, funded loan bond, and old fraction
al currency paper ; of the latter, part is be
ing used for national bank notes and
legal tenders. It was found that the
iitock of paper bad been counted but
once (about five years agol in ten years.
The room in which ii IQ stored is in
the subbasement of the building; thc
corridors leading thereto are poorly
lighted, and seldom visited, except by
workmen employed in shops on the same
lloor. Six persons have access to this room
at any timo during w irking hours, and
any ono of the six c: i upcu packages of
this paper that have been counted md
stored, abstract from CO to lOOsheetsat a
time and place the bundles so tampered
where they would not be reached for
years.
A man so disposed may, by the with
drawal of small quantities at a time, be
ef ;oo in tho end a dishonest possessor of
a largo Htoek of this paper. No surveil
lance is kept on the movements of these
men, and the theft would remain undis
covered till a count was made or the
supply exhausted.
What has been said of the paper, ap
plies also, only with a stili greater force
to the custody of the dies, rolls, oed
pieces, and plates from which tb ccu
rities arc printed in the bureau. The
purloining ol" these is especially to be
guarded against, 'i bo Government has
not placed such cheeks upon them as lo
rentier their abstraction impossible, nor
can they, by the present arrangement
for doing ibo work.
A bed piece is a plate of steel the size
of the note or coupon, etc., li. ' e printed,
having the entire of such note, tlc., ci .
graved on its surface, and ibis hoing
finished, the piece is hardened.
A roll is a small cylindrical piece of
steel having ?>n its surface, in relief, tho
entire engraved work that is on tho sur
face (d' ibo bed piece; this also, after re
ceiving the impression, is hardened, lt
is made while the steel is soft by being
run over the hardened bed piece, so that
the entire engraved work on tho surface
of thc bed piece is transferred to its out
side sur fuco by pressure.
The plates are large pieces of steel
from . which the notes bonds, stamps,
etc., are printed, and vary in size from
that of four notes, each, as legal tenders,
to a coupon bond, ami are made by hav
ing thc work from tho roll transferred te
their surfaco by pressure. There arc
three (3) bed pieces (also called dies]
and three (?I) rolls, from which thc plate
for each denomination of ?utes are tnndt
viz: ono for tho green printing on thc
hack, one for the bluck printing on I'M
face and one for the red seal.
Heretofore, to insure security, it wai
deemed necessary to have these separat?
dies, etc., and thc several printings Ol
such note, made by different institutions
hut John Sherman snw lit, contrary ti
law, to bring this entire printing into om
bureau, and to havo the entire engrave!
stock of dies, heil pieces, rolls and plates
for printing legal tenders, bonds, nm

in ono vault. The custodian lo thi
vault and his ns-if tauts alono have ac

duties they go in and out nt pleasun
and thero is no difficulty securing fo
unlawful purposes thc hrd pieces fror

seal nf any denomination of notes, frot
ono dollar to one thousand dollars, or a
of them, are printed, and make froi
them rolls (au operation of but
few minutes), hy which au unlimitc
number of plates can be prepared.
These bed pieces are rarely called int
uso after the roll has been made, tho st
of three could bc- conveniently carried i

of a roll requires buta short time, the*
bed pieces could be taken away nt til

It is strange that each of the last thn

being secretly made, can be altered wi
a graver in small details enough to ma
it seem counterfeit to any non-expert.

The report concludes hy Ktating that
many of these and other matters need
much more investigation ; that by no
other method can thc people learn thc
truth about the Government, or Congress
get thc information neccusnrv to legisla*

that the Government h;.s far too much to

Government functions and offices can
despotism and national ruin be escaped.
Remarkable ''rayer of the I.nte Prince
Louis Napoleon.
A prayer in tho handwriting of the
Prince Imperial has been found among
papers in his di sk at Camden Place, lt
is published by thc London Morning
/'oxl, which adds: "The elucidation of
his high character alone justifies thc pub
lication of ll sacred document, which will
prove lo the world how intimately he
was penetrated with all the feelings
which most become a Christian, and
which give higher hopes than are afford
ed by the pains and perils of ibis transi
tory life." Thc following is a transla
tion :
"My God: I give to Thee my heart,
but ?ive lo me faith. Without faith
lhere is no strong prayer, and to pray is
a longing of my soul. I pray not that
Thou sbouldst lake away the obstacles on
my path, but that Thou mayst permit
me lo overcome then. I pray not that
Thou sbouldst disarm my enemies, but
that Thou sbouldst aid me to conquer
myself. Hear, t) (?od! my prayer. Pre
serve to my affection thoso who aro dear
to me. Grant them happy days. If
Thou only givest on this earth a certain
sum of joy, take, () dodi my share, and
bestow it on tho most worthy, and may
tho most worthy bc my friends. If
Thou BCckest vengeance upon man,
sinke me. Misfortune is converted
into hnppiness hy the sweet thought
that those whom wo love are happy.
Happiness is poisoned by the bit
ter thought, while I rejoice those
whom I love a thousand times better than
myself are suffering. For me, O God!
no more happiness, l'a ko it from my
path. I can only find joy in forgetting
tho past. If I forget tncee who are no
more, I phall bo forgotten in my turn,
a.id how sud the thought thal makes ono
say, 'Time effaces all.' Tho only satis
faction I soijk ia that which lasts forever,
Hint which is given by a tranquil con
science. O my God ! show mc ever
where my duty lies, and give mo strength
lo accomplish it always. Arrived at tho
term of my life, I shall turn my looks
fearlessly to thc past. Remembrance
will not bo for mc a long remorse. Then
I shall bo happy. Grant, O God ! that
my heart may bo penetrated with the
conviction that those whom I love, mid
who are dead, shall see all my actions.
My life shall be v ..thy of their wituess,
ami my innermost thoughts shail never
make them b'ush."
A WHALE TunEsiiicu.- The schooner
Marthn, from George's Hanks, brought,
with a coigo of f?b to this port yesterday,
thc largest whale threaher remembered
by old market men to have ever been
seen in this city. It was caught in a
pound net at Wood'n Hole, Mass., on
Tuesday, nud waa killed with a lance.
The last one exhibited in Washington
market was fifteen years ago, and it was
.so small n specimen of its kind that
some fish dealers believed that it was a
species of shark. The tish that arrived
yesterday was exhibited by C. A. Lewis.
It was very nearly fourteen feet long,
and it monopolized the entire front at
the stand. Persona stopped to examine
it, and all day long a throng was press
ing around it. Jiaif of tho length of
tho curious fish was body and tho other
half tail. The tail tapered oil'gradually,
und had been looped up by a rope at
tached to a beam above. The weight of
the creature was OOO pounds. The naked
skin on the back mid sides was a uniform
bluish drab color from thc snout to the
tip of the tail. The tail was as much a
separate part of the body as a dog's tail
is of its body, which appearance made
it resemble a land or amphibious animal
more than a fish. The eyes were as Inrge
as n cow's, and could bo rolled ir. iheir
Bockets. The mouth was comparatively
small, and thc teeth short, sharp and of
a uniform length in both jaws. Sticking
straight up from the middle of the back
was a dark fin, eleven inches long, of the
same color as tho body, tough and com
pact, yet neither bony nor bard. The
fish yielded like caoutchouc to thc finger,
but on releasing the pressure the skin
sprang back to its original form. The
body from end to end, seemed a mass of
cartilage. The long tail ia used by tho
animal Uko a rawhide in attacking its
cmemy, tho whale. It forms a sort of
alliance with tho sword-fish, tho latter
thrusting its sword into the whalo from
below, and tho thresher attacking it from
above. Tho threshers run in schools, and
from len to twenty will attack a whale
it once. Thoso wno havo witnessed a
combat between threshers and whales say
that it is an exciting spectacle. The
ivater flies in showers of foam in all di
rections, as tho threshers hurl themselves
tt ibu whales like ?nunritcu cowhide*.
Tor hours they rain blows on tho head
ind sides of the hugo animal. Between
tho piercing thrusts of the swordfish and
thc flail-like blows of tho thresher, n
whale rarely escape*. From tho carcass
the victors get their food for many a day
afterward. Through the little slit in the
?ide of tho thresher exhibited yesterday
Dozed blood os rod as that of a land
animal. The f^?l?a u-om f<->iir in number
;m each side.-iVt-'c York Sun.
FAITH.-Tho following isan incident on
tho recent return ot somo British officers
from Afghanistan' Sconc-The wildest part
if tho Khyber, with barren rocks towering
m all sides; an English officer riding
\Iong, escorted by a motley company of
Maliks and tribes-men all armed to tho
teeth ; moro aroied Afreedccs in tho mid
lie distnnce ; aweary, lonely figure toiling
in thedusty road in huge black boots, face
burned a brick rod p.nd frinoed by a sea <.
ly sandy beard. The figuro is clad in a
thick wadded garment and has a bundle on
its back. "Halt ! Who aro you ?" "Tur
Icestani." "Whereare your comrades?"
"I am alone." "Where are you going?"
"To Mecca." "How will you get there ?"
"God will help." "Peace bo with yon."
"And . Uh you." The figuro moves off,
uni tho armed circle break up. This
poor devotee had tramped hundreds of
miles through hills and valleys, swarm
ing with cut throats, sccuro in bis simple
Taith which lind lcd him to leave dis
tant Turkestan in quest of the still more
listant Mecca.-Indian ??onecr.

LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
1 lepatilis, or Liver Complaint,
si V I MA AtiU SICK HEADACIIB
Symptoms of a Diseased L iver.
HAIN ??i the light side, under thc
1 edge of the ril>s, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able lo lie
on thc left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under thc shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to thc top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affe< lcd with loss of appe
tite and sit.kness; thc bowels in gen
eral arc costive, sometimes alternative
with lax ; thc bead is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing whi< h ought to have been done.
A sh. it, dry cough is sometimes an
atter ?.ant. Thc patient complains of
weariness and debility; bc is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of thc skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would bc beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
ha\w occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AOUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,

advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled

KraasTOX, iii., September 15,1871.
OBltTS-For sixteen years I have been a great
snfierer from Scrofuln lu its most distressing forms.
I have been confined to my room and bod for fif
teen year? with scrofulous ulcerations. The most
approved remedies for such cases had been used,
ami the mast eminent physicians consulted, with
out any decided benefit. Thus ttrostra* "si, dis
tresied, desponding, I was advised tty Dr. Ayer, of
Floyd County, tia., to commence tho use of your
Compound Extract StUlingia. Language is as In
sufllcteiit to describe the relief I obtained from the
use ol thc Stillingia as it ls to convey an adequate
Idea of the Intensity of my siitfcring before using
your medicine; stilllcient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued tho uso of your Ex
tract of Stillingia, until I can sar truly, "I am
cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. Moro
than eight months have elapsed sinco this re
markable cure, without any return of tho disease.
For tho truth of the above statement, I refer to
any gentleman In Barlow County, (ia., and to the
members ot the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are
acquainted with mc. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obedient servant,
J. C. BRANSON, AU'y at Law.

Rheumatism, nud wea treated for the name with no
success, in March, following, pieces of bone bo
gan to work out of tho right arm, and contluucd
to appear till all tho bone from the elbow to the
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bono
came out of thc right foot and leg. The case was
then pronounced one of Wbito Swelling. After
having been confined altout six years to her bed, I
and thc case considered hopeless, I was Induced to I
try Dr. Pemberton'* Compound Extract of Stillln- j
gla, and was so well satisfied with its eticcts that 1
nave continued tho uso of lt until tho present.
My daughter was contint.) to ber bed altout six
years boforo she sat up or cvon turned over with
out help. She now sits up all day. and sews most
of her time-has walked across ino room. Her
goneral health is now good, and I believe abe will,
