HELEN'S BABIES.
I
With Some Account of their Ways.
It wafe an enticing invitation from n y
only married sister, Helen Lawrei ce,
that moved me, Harry Burton, salesman
of white goods, bachelor, aged twentyeight,
to spend my fortnight's vacation
at Hillcrest. Torn Lawrence's cigars
and claret and horses, a splendid flower
garden, plenty of handsome girls, and
unlimited leisure for reading?these were
the inducements offered me. Incidentally,
as Tom and Helen were to be ab
sent on a visit, t was .just to Keep an eye
on the children, who, I was assured,
would not give me "the slightest
trouble." *
R membering Budge, the elder, as a
boy oi rive, with a serious, noble face |
aiivi great, pure penetrating eyes, anil
TxlJ: as a happy little know-nothing of
three ?n:muers with a hea l of tangled
y ]! w hair. T set out for H Ilcrest with
i* .i?>pr?h n^ion of impending woe.

The ft'.'n ting youth was Budge, in a
very airly sailor suit, and the ot!n r
' in p. ' who bore down on us in a cloud ;
ra sed by thrustiug a branch into the1
dust oi the :oad was Tod die !
Th ?y*re my nephews!" I gasped.
Tne recognition was mutual.
"You're Uncle Harry," said Budge.
" Di iyou bring us anything?"
" Bring us anything ?" en-hoed Toddie. 1
"I wish I could have brought you j
some big whippings," said I, severely.
"Get into this carriage."
lu they climbM, each with a very .
dirty towel, knotted in the center.
"They're not towels," explained
. Budge, "they're dollies; we don't like
buved dollies; these is lovely."
" I want to slice yours watch," re- 1
marked Toddie, rolling into my lap, fol- (
lowed by Budge. '
Obediently I showed them,the dial of
my three-hundred-dollar timekeeper.
"Want to sliee wheels go wound," '
said Toddie.
"No," said I, fearful of dust. '
"Want to shee wheels go wound,'
repeated Toddie; "want to shee the !
wheels go wound." *
"I tell you I can't, Toddie; dust (
spoils watches." .
(< TI7? Trlinnla Cff\ TL'Alllbl " *
YY out IV Olit'W liiV ??liWAW ttv-mux*, j
murmured Toddie again.
Abruptly I pocketed the watch. To* - 1
die's jaw dropped, and he cried :
44 Ah?h?h?li. Want?to?sliee?the 1
wheels?go wou?ound !"
44 Stop that noise this instant!"
44 Yes?oo?oo?wants to sliee "?
44Toddie, I've got some candy in"?
44 Wheels go wound ! Ah?h?h?h !" 1
44 Toddie, dear, don't cry so. There j
are some lathes coming in a carriage."
44 Ah?h?h?h. Wants to shee 5
wheels !"? : !
Madly I snatched my watch from my 1
pocket, opened the case, and exposed !
the works to view. The passing carriage 1
stopped; my name was called, and, '
looking up/ I -8aw?bright eyed, fair 1
faced and smiling?Miss Alice Mayton, a
lady whom for about a year I had adored !
from afar! The ease with which she '
greeted me, praised?actually praised ! ! 1
those dreadful children; and let me dis- !
cover that a bouquet from the Lawrence '
garden would be an acceptable offering,
converts mv confusion into delight. !
When the carriage started again, Toddie 1
murmured : j
44 Ucken Hawwy, does vou love that
lady?"
44 No, Toddie, of course not." I
44 Then vou's baddy man, an' de Lord
won't let you go to heaven if you don't 1
love peoples."
You may believe I was glad to get 1
th >sc children home and turn them over {
to the girl! At dinner they found fault
with my blessing, and taught me the one j
their papa, says. Then they condemued :
my version of Jonah, and Budge gave 1
one certainly much more graphic. And
finally, after requiring me to say my 1
prayers first, that performance, too, wa^ i '
boldly criticised. Bu Ipe prayed wi'h 1
a face fit for an ang 1, and then Tod-i e
c'ose.l his eyt-s, wriggled, twiste ,
breathed hard and at 'ast began :
" Dee Lord not piake rae sho bad, an
bedi mamma, an' papa, au* Budgie, an'
do?pitv (graudf. ther), an' bo'li boggies
(graad u ?t!ier), au* all good people in
dish hou-e. an* everybody else, an' m*
oily. A-a-meu!"
"Now give ns ^candy," said Budge,
ech >ed by Toddie.
I gave them the candy and escaped at
last to the parlor, where I passed a de- i
licious evening with ray books. That
night Toddy howled for his dolly like a
young demon, and made me get up and |
find it f ?r him; and next morning, before j
lie was fairly awake, I was appalled to 1
hear him murmur:
" Want?to?shee wheels?go? ,
wound."
. At breakfast he remarked :"
" Ucken Hawwy, davsli an awfoo 1
funny chunt up 'tairs? awfoo big chunt. 1
I show it you after brepspup."
"Toddie's a silly little loy," said
Budge; "he always says br*p<pupfor
brekbus (breakfast)."
"Oil! what does he mean by chunt'j
Budge ?"
" I guess he means truok." '
A direful thought struck me. I rushed 1
up stairs. Yes, he did mean trunk?my
trunk?open ! emptied. A blacking box 1
in my dress hat, and rolled up tightly in 1
my dress coat, one of those dolls ! But '
wvred wis tft nnmp. T madman evouisite J
bouquet fcr Miss Mayton and put it in a 1
box which I sent to her by the coachman.
To my surprise he brought it
ba?k, and Toddie, shrieking with delight
snatched it and exclaimed :
44 O'l, darsh my dolly's k'adle ! Some- *
body put nasty ole flowers in it ; I froed | 5
"e n away !"
Opening the box he displayed?that ! (
infernal doll! I viewed him so sternly j
th it he took refuge in sobs, wept plenti- i
fully on my shirt front, and murmured : (
441 wantsh to love you, and wantsh v
you to love me."
Who could resist ? I petted am] kiss- '
ed him tilt he was consoled, and resumed
his sovereignty, with the infantile command
:
44Kisli my dolly, too." (
I obeyed, but closed the interview ab- '
ruptly/and wrote the best apology I
could frame to Miss Mayton.
The next day was Sunday. In the c
morning those boys invaded my bed to I c,
44 fwolic " and 44 wide horsie backen," I c
and I sadly learned how it was that mv !
brother-in-law had grown so flat chested. : j
Iu the afternoon we tried the 6tories ' !
again, and Toddie told, with the most j '
spirited gestures, how
44 Dave, let ze sling go bang bequeen I
BliatTs eyes, an' knocked him down , ]
dead, an' Dave took Bliaff sword an' I
sworded BliafFs head off. an' made it all j j:
bluggy, an' Biiftff runned away." j 4
Then Toddie " runned away," and got
himself stung by a hornet, and rushed |
n, sobbing:
' Want to be wocked. Want shing
' Toddie, boy, one day.' "
And I hud to rock him and sing, line
by line, after Badge, some absurd little
doggerel about a basket, beginning :
" Where is my little bastik goneV"
Said Toddie, boy, one day.
When he was soothed, those chil Iren
beguiled me out to a treacherous muddy
hrookside, in eareh of jacks-in-the-pulpit
; Tod die tumbled in, and so Mid
Budge, and in pulling them out I was
most horribly spattered! Hurrying
home, a carriage overtook us with ladies
in it. Could it be ??of course it was ! ;
?Miss May ton herself!
" You seen to have been having a real
good time together," said she, as the j
carriage passed. "Remember, you are
all going to*rall on me to-morrow afternoon."
And so we did, Toddie bearing an ex-;
piat 'ry bouquet. The children raced oft
t > watch a grasscutter, and I sat down j
t > a delightful chat with Miss Mayton. !
Men were scarce among the summer I
hoarders at Hillcrest, and somehow tl.< j
piazza gradually tilled with the ladies oi !
me 11 ,u>f. ouuuuuij H o .mi ii
trora the lawn ; T ddio bad pinched ]iis
iugers " u Hie bttle wheels of the cut e ,tw,"
and rus'ieU up to me, sobbing
44 Sag, 1 T ddie, boy, one oav.'*'
Mv blood seemed to freeze, but wh u
Buog;* t x .'l i ned that 44 lie always wants
that soug when he's hurt," all the la li?-6
urged me, and I wrathfully picked Todd
e up and hummed the detested air.
But the little tyraut was not satisfied,
and successively required me to 44 sit in
a woekin' chair," to "sing the words,"
and to " sing louder," till at last, before
that audience and her, I was obliged to
sing that dreadful doggerel, line for line,
as Budge repeated it. My teeth werset,
mv brow grew clammy. At last
I heard some ?one rtlhsper :
" See how lie loves him ! Poor man !
he's in perfect agony .over the little fellow."
But the agony was a prelude to a most
unexpected rapture. An apprehensively i
accepted invitation to dinner, wlier? Tod- j
ilie titled his soup over Miss Mayton's j
ilress, led to a twilight tctc-a-tctc, which I
Budge interrupted by informing the lady::
" Uncle Harry 'spects you, Miss Mav- i
ton." * * j
The little rascal had, that very morning, j
demanded to know whether I didn't !
" love" Miss Mayton, and accepted with
suspicion my assurance that I " respect-1
3d" her very highly. Now, before I:
jould stop him, he continued:
" Only what he calls 'spect, I calls j
love."
Tiiere was an awkward pause?some-1
thing must be done. !
" Miss Mayton," said I, " Budge is a j
narplot, but a truthful interpreter. I"? j
44 When I loves anybody," observed j
Budge, 441 kisses them." j
Miss Afavton cave a start. She did ,
?T?^ O ,
not speak ; she "was not angry. Could j
it be that? ? I acted on Budge's sug- j
^estion, once, twice. She raised her i
bead and I saw that Alice May ton had
mrrendered at discretion. Then Budge i
md Toddie came in for a share of the j
iisses ; two or three ladies appeared, i
ind I calmly said :
" Come, boys. Then I'll call with the
carriage at three to-morrow, Miss May- {
ton. ^lood evening."
I shall not tell you what I thought or j
lid during that interval, except that I ;
bought my angelic nephews everything i
they wanted, beginning with candy and ;
ending with a goat and goat carriage. J
Nor shall I say a word about my ride j
with Miss Mayton, except that it was ,
suddenly interrupted by a runaway goat
and two boo-liooing boys; and that night
Budge prayed:
" Dear Lord, bless just lots that lovely,
lovely lady that comforted me after the
o;oat was bad to me."
The next day was wet and those children
led me a terrible life ! Their only
real comfort was Jonah, or rather,
the 4 whay-al," a picture of which Todlie
tenderly caressed, murmuring:
" Dee old whay-al, I loves you. I j
links 'twas weal mean in Djonah to get
froed up when you hadn't noftin' else to
eat, poor old whay-al !"
And Toddie amused himself for some
time with a bisr box for a whale and si i
lead mouse for a Jonah, till a mishap occurred
which he mournfully announce*,
by saying:
" Djonah bwoke he tay-al!"
The next morning, I got a letter from
Helen, iuelosing one to her from Alice
May ton, from which I learned that 1
uig.fc attribute the sudden success of m*
<u t to Miss Mayton's " seeing that a ma
* ho could be so lovable with thoughtless
and unreasonable children must b? j
erectly adorable to the women he
y.ni."
I have not time to tell you how Budgt
revealed to stately Mrs. Mayton the relations
subsisting between her "little
girl " and Ins "Uncle Harry," or how
that awful Toddie disclosed our secret to
the ladies of Miss Mayton's acquaintance
by solemnly declaiming some
"Lines to Alice" he had heard me relrearsing
in the garden; or how the same
Toddie swallowed a " whole bottoo full"
of paregoric, and was hurried to the
apothecary's with such wholesome results
that he reported to his brother :
" Budgie, down to the village I was a
whay-al. I didn't free up Djonah but I
froed up a whole floor full of uwer
tings."
Tom and Helen came home in due i
time, and at lunch that day toasts were j
lrunk to " Her " and to " the makers of :
the match?Budge and Toddie !" And
\lice insists that when a ceftain cere-1
mony takes place they shall officiate as
groomsmen, nor have I the slightest j
doubt that she will carry her point.?

Coughing in Church.
The attendants of churches where
xmghing is liable to be followed by j
critical remarks from the minister,
should know that coughing is not such a
necessity as many imagine. It partakes
nf the nature of a habit. There is no
ie?d fcr coughing at every little irrita:iou
in the throat. You will be surprised
m making an effort to suppress your
Jouzh to see how little cougning you can
jet along with. Were a man to stand j
hreatening you with a club or pistol ,
mil offering to blow your brains out at i
te tirst cough you would fiud that the
vili power is most efficacious in suppress:ig
these bronchial insurrections. A j
French surgeon used to say whenever he 1
altered the wards of the hospital: 44 The
irst patient who coughs will be deprived
>f food to-day." And very few then i
' mglied. J)r. Brown-Sequard says that
' mghing may be prevented by pressing
>n the nerves of the lips in the neighbored
of the nose, by pressing in the ;
neighborhood of the ear, and by pressing
rery hard on tfie top of the mouth.
The wretched punster on the Boston 1
r.-mvc!ler says : It is so hot in the ?hu>t

MARRIED IN THE DARK. !
A Mirhuinn Matrimonial Mystrry?Four
( for a itririr ivhnsc Second
lliilul CVrriiiony was Arrnni;cil in Accordance
with the Will of her Hear Departed.
About twenty years aero there liveil in
central Michigan a curious ohl Boned ck
named Doilsworth. At the age of lifty
he married a girl of twenty, and when
the burden of sixty years bore him
down his wife was only half his ago.
Doilsworth was noted for his peculiarities,
but the climax came when lie found
himself on his dying bed. He was .
worth about $30,000, and he hadn't sv
blood relative living, so far as lie knew.
He wanted to leave his property to his (
wife, as the pair had lived very happiiy,
but yet he could not leave it without displaying
some of his peculiarities in the
provisions of t^e will. Some old men
.lu.O.ii. .1 cmrll \vl>rm mftHllfr flic'r
t.lir'lJiti.y lutiiu * ?-?p
wills and ilraft in a provision cutting the
wife off with a shilling, if sh * marries
again. This old man wasn't of that
stamp. His young wife was good looking,
vivacious, fond of society, and it
was folly to suppose she would mourn :
for her "late departed" any great j
length of time. There ore Mr. D>?dsworth
turued heel on the usual custom
and said in his will :
"Iu case my wife Celia does not take j
;nt > herself another husban I within
til rteui months from date 01 mv buna
all bequests otherwise made in this will
are to revi rfc to the State of Michigan, to j
be used for building and furnishing a
h >me for old women."
Whether Celia was pleased or displeased
at this provision deponent saith
n >t, but the old man had not been under
the sod more than six months when the ;
w dow was said to be looking out for auother
man. If it was singular for the
dying Dodsworth to urge his wife to
marry again it was still more singular j
that he should desire the ceremony to
be performed under the following cir-.
cumstances, viz. :
" And it is made incumbent 011 said
Celia Dodsworth that in taking a new
husband the marriage ceremony shall be
performed in the big barn on my farm,
on the II road. It shall take place
at ten o'clock in the evening, on the
main floor, without lights of any description,
with all doors shut, and a
- 1 111 A _ 1 _ 1 1. . .11
tree invitation snau oo exienueu 10 mi.
The clergyman shall stand in the stables ;
and the bride and groom 011 the main
floor, aud the principal parties to the
ceremony shall be dressed in black
throughout."
The widow announced her intention ;
to faithfully obey in spirit and letter,
the will was probated and the t waif 111
month had scarcely passed before she ,
issued an invitation for the public
to attend a wedding at the big
barn. Just who the groom was to be
uo one could positively assert, as the
widow had been keeping company with 1
a widower', a bachelor and two young
men, and as far as any outsider could j
judge she loved one as well as the
other. Being good looking and talented
and having a fortune behind her, it
was not strange that she should have a
number of suitors. She seemed to enter
into the spirit of the affair with
great zest, as also did the minister ;
and to further mystify the people in
attendance the bride entered the barn
alone at one door, the groom aione at
another, and no one knew that the
minister had arrived until his voice was
heard in the stables.
There were at least two hundred
people present, and each one under-!
stood that even the striking of a match
would break the will. Many jokes were |
passed and considerable confusion ex-;
isted, but at length the minister announced
that all was ready. The ceremony
was gone through with, and at;
its conclusion, the affair having been a
"profound success," a rush was made |
for the bride ; she was kissed by a hundred
men, ami was then carried home, i
a distance of a mile and a half, in a big
arm chair.
Now comes the mystery. When the
ladv was set down at her own door the
widower, the bachelor and the two young
men each claimed to be her true and
lawful husband. None of the crowd
could say who was the lucky man, the
minister was at sea and the bride herself
seemed to have doubts. The widower
was the man of her choice, but in flie
confusion he could have been hustled
aside, and he did affirm that an attempt
was ma le to choke him and get him out
>f the barn. The bachelor vowed that ?
she had promised to marry him, as also
did both young m?n, and each was sure j
that he held the vidow's plump hand and
was legally married to her. The four I
men had a fight, 1 ut that didn't meud
matters. The cr.?wd ducked two of them
in a creek, but that didn't decide the
question.
. Just how it would have terminated had
n >t the widower been a man of nerve no
oue can tell, as the other three had alrea
ly appealed to the law, when the widower
stepped in and took his place as ;
husband and settled with the others for
$2,000 each.
One of the young men, now over thirty
years old, and having all the wjfe he :
wants (she weighs 230 pounds), is living
in Jackson, Mich., and, during an interview
had with him, he solemnly and
earnestly assured the writer that he was
legally married to the Widow Dodsworth
that night in the big barn. Another of
the parties lives in Clinton county, and
he has time and again asserted that
he is the woman's true and lawful husband,
so help his God. The bachelor
is dead, but were he alive and kicking
he would leiew his oft repeated protes
tations:
"I married her, by gum!- and, by
gum, I ought to have her !"
Sowing on Horseback.
Numerous as have been the instructions
of late for preserving the almost "lost
art" of sowing graiu by hand, there remains
one mode that has escaped mention,
1 which, when mentioned, will
probably be derided bv those who have
not tried it. I allude to sowing on horseback.
Sulky rakes, sulkv rollers, etc.,
are regarde 1 as useful contrivances for
the saving of human labor ; but none of
? frfc MOVA
vuur uuaespi'uuruio app u im.w
thought of making the horse perform the
labor of walking, and carrying seed bag
and sower to ami fro across the field during
the operation of sowing the grain.
And yet, after a long experience, the
writer has fouud that he could distribute
seed grain more regularly from the saddle
than on foot, and with far more ease and
comfort?as any good seedsman will find
after a short practice. Grass seeds, however,
being lighter than graiu, are best
sown on foot.?Country Gentleman.

BLUE GLASS.
* ? '
Sonic of tlic Results of the lllne (ilnin*
Treatment.
The excitement over the l>lue glass
cure in Providence, K. I., has not been
excelled anywhere else. The local
papers have daily reports regarding the
results of the treatment. We select the
*-..n?.
luiiuttiug iiuiii iuc i rwo
Mr. Henry O. Wood, bookkeeper, in
Win. A. Wood's pork packing establishment,
corner of Washington and Battery
streets, lias been afflicted with
rheumatism for several years. The attacks
came on at irregular periods and
contined him to the bed for weeks at a ,
time, and for one whole winter he was
unable to get out. Medicines gave him
but slight relief, and when the disease
seized him he felt there was no escape ;
from the torture except after weeks of
pain and careful avoidance of the least
exposure. Recently the dreaded disease
attacked him in the shoulder, arm anil
loot. He hail previously inserted six
panes of blue glass in the office window,
and he at once prepared for a bath. The
foot was exposed to the combined rays of
the white audf blue light for an hour,
when tiie pain and soreness disappeared.
On the following day the pains left his
shoulder and arm, and for the first time
he had driven the disease away within
forty-eight hours from the time it seized
lnm. and within twenty-four hours from .
the time the treatment was commenced.
Mr. Suuuiel J3oy<i, an aged gentleman
who Jives at 72 Pearl street, has been
afflicted for over two years with weakness
of the limbs, resulting from heart
disease, ami during the last year his
right foot became useless, dragging on
the floor when he was assisted to and
from his bed to his chair. The use of 1
both limbs was very much impaired and !
latterly he had 110 control over them. He i
had three panes of blue glass placed in a
west window. A sulficient trial has not,
been given yet to ascertain whether he ;
will be permanently cured, but the good
effects, thus far, after ouly two or three
days bathing, convinces him that he
will regain his strength. He is able,
while sitting in his cliair, to swing his
legs at will in any direction as easily as
he ever did. All lie lacks is sufficient
strength to bear the weight of his body
(being a very portly man), to enable him
to walk as formerly. His ^rength is returning
slowly, and one person instead
of two can now help him from his bed to
bis easy chair. One peculiarity in his
case is that he cannot bear the bath for
any considerable leugtli of time, not
being able to remain under the rays but
a few minutes at a time. As his strength
increases he is enabled to prolong his
stay in the bath. In this case, as in most
of the others, the bath produces drowsiness,
and unless the pain is intense, the
patient drops off into a peaceful slumber.
Mr. Boyd's limbs were entirely
useless for three weeks previous to taking
tiie baths, and obtaining control of
his limbs sasoon may be considered very
remarkable. The progress .of the treat
ment of heart disease in this case will he
watched, and it is to be hoped that the
aged sufferer will be jjermauently bene-;
fited by the treatment.
Mrs. H. S., who lives at No.
Bridgham street, has been taking blue
sun baths for a chronic difficulty during
the past two weeks with remark- .
able results. She had been und^ the j
treatment of physicians for months, but
no relief had been obtained. She continued
to grow worse and worse, and had
to be assisted by her husband from the
bed to her chair. The husband prepared i
a window with blue glass, and the sufferer
began to grow stronger and is now
able to walk about the room unassisted. .
She feels a great deal better and believes
she will ultimately be cured.
. A number of florists, horticulturists
and gardeners are experimenting with
blue glass, but sufficient time has not
elapsed since the commencement of the
trials to deternune what will be the result
upon vegetable life. Mr. Henry
Randall, of Scituate, furnished a portion
of his house with blue glass, and to give
the theory a fair test lie planted two beds
with tomato seed, under exactly the same
conditions, where one would receive the.
combined white and blue ravs and the !
other the ordinary sunlight, The plants
ynder the blue light germinated and i
made their appearance first, and to-day
those under the blue glass are more than j
tliree times larger than the others and
have healthier and more sturdy stalks.
Mr. Randall is couvinced of the effect of
the blue rays upon plants, and will ar- !
range blue glass throughout his hot
houses.
Blue Glass in Chicago. . ,
Are there "blue glass" devotecsin
the metropolis ? asks a lady of Chicago,
and then she goes on to say : Across the !
way from my room, which is in the heart
of the city, stands a five-story brick
block, nameless here, a fashionable tenement
house. Uj) in the fifth story is a
window composed of alternate blue and
white. The first day of my arrival here
being a bright one, I noticed, in addition
to this, in several of the other windows
squares of the azure transparency in gilt
frames, either suspended by cords or
held in the hand. I was looking at it
curiously when a voice in the next room
?which, by the way, is occupied by a j
couple of medical students?said: "By i
Jove ! 4 blue glass' in the upper left
hand corner." Raising my eyes to the
window containing the strips, I sa %v
what? A lady, very much en deshabille
sitting directly in front of the said window
; and then I saw before all these
squares either man, womau or child. My

the3e things; but the answer was not
yet.
1 was still more mystified upon going
out upon the street, for as I passed a
merancholy looking individual he murmured
in low tones to his companion :
"Yes, there's money in 'blue glass.'"
A little further on a glazier's sign read :
"'Bjae glass,' all shapes and sizes,
cheap." The newsboys screamed :
"Daily papers! All about the 'blue
| glass'cure." Desperate at last, I purchased
a paper and hastened home, determined
to solve the riddle if possible.
I found a column headed " Wonderful
cures poformed ; neuralgia cured in ten
minutesand all by " blue glass." So

His Club Life.
After Commodore Vanderbilt joined
the Union club and heard in the season, i
j tiie talk of its most voluble members
i turn upon yachting he used to say that
some day he would show them how to
sail a boat bv taking the slowest yacht
in the squadron and winning a regatta
j cup. After thus bantering the nautical
enthusiasts for several years he fulfilled
his pledge, chose the Edgar yacht Cornelia,
that had never approached a prize,
and beat the whole squadron in the East
river by his masterly management of the
sluggish craft, standing at the helm from |
eleven a. m. until dark, when he brought
i her in a handsome winner.
The German word for life insurance
company is lebensversicherungsgesellschaft.
It lias the great ail vantage that
while the agent is pronouncing it, the
victim is fairly warned, and has an opportunity
to climb over the fence and
hide under the bam.
Why Advertise I
People sometimes nt>k why does Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, X. Y?, spend so much money
bin feioilt* miidioiiioa trhiph ara

ko well known and surpass all other remedies I
in popularity and sale. It is well known that
A. T. Stewart considered it good policy, and
undoubtedly it paid him, to spend many hundred
thousand dollars in advertising his goads,yet 110hpdy
questioned the excellence of nis merchandise.
The grand secret of success lies in offering
goods only which possess merit to sustain
themselves, and then through liberal and persistent
advertising making the people thoroughly
acquainted with thci rgood qualities. Men
do not succeed in amassing great fortunes, establishing
a thriving and permanent business,
and founding substantial institutions like Dr.
Pierce's Grand Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo,
which cost over two hundred thousand dollars,
unless their business be legitimate, their good>
meritorious, and their services which they
render the people genuine and valuable. Dr.
Pierce does not attempt to humbug you by
telling you that his Golden Medical Discovery
will cure all diseases. He says : 4,If your luugs
are half wa.-ted by consumption, my Discovery
will not cure you, yet as a remedy for severe
coughs, and all incurable bronchial, throat and
lung affections. I believe it to bo unsurpassed
asaremedv." The people have confidence in
his medicines because hq_does not ov? r recommend
them, slid when tried they give satisfaction.
His Medical Adviser, a book of over
nine hundred pages, illustrated by two hundred
and eigthv-two engravings and bound in cloth
and gilt, is offered to the people at ho moderatc
a price($1.50, post-paid), that it is no wonder
that almost one hundred thousand have already
been sold. His memorandum books are on
every druggist's counter for free distribution.

This is why their soaps are so popular

SWORN STATEMENT!
BOSTON ?DRUCCIST.
Gentlemen,? I hereby certify that I have had Catarrh
for tenyeara, and for the last six years have been
a terrible sufferer. I was rendered partially deaf, had i
buzzing In the head, pains across the temple, dizzy
spclls, weak and palnfhl eyes, swollen and ulcerated
tonsils, hard and constant congh, severe pain across
the chest, and every Indication or consumption. My
head ached all the-tlme. The matter accumulated
so rapidly In my head and throat that I could not keep
them free. Frequently at night I would spring out of
bed, it seemed to me, at'the point of suffocation. 1
would then have recourse to every means In my power
to dislodge the mucus frotpmy tflyoatand head before
being able to sleep again. For a period of six years
my tonsils were ulcerated and so much inflamed that
I could with difficulty swallow. 1 finally consulted an
eminent surgeon In regard to an operation on them.
out at ms request postponed it. j lie cousinni mua nnation
and ulceration lu my throat, caused by t!i<poisonous
ms ter dropping down from my hcatl. hiul
so Irritated ai-.1 inflamed my lungs that I coughed Incessantly,?
auTtp, bard cough, ileanwhlle nfysvsrr.n 1
began to show .be effects of this disease, so that I lost
flesh, grew pale, and showed every symptom of nil
early death by consumption. When mature had
reached this stage, or about six months ago, I began
the use of Saxford's Radical Cure for Catari it.
After using the first bottle I began to improve rapidly.
The first dose seemed to clear my head as I had
not known It to be lor years. It seeic .d gradually to
arrest the discharges. It slopped my cough in three
days. By using it as a gargle I soon reduced the inflammation
and swelling of my tonsils, so that they
soon ceased to tronble me. 1 tie soreness across n y
chest disappeared, the buzzing noises In my bead
ceased, my senses of hearing and of serjog were completely
restored, and every symptom of disease that
had reduced rae to the verge of the grave disappear! d
by the use of Saxford's RadioalCurr for Catarrh.
[ have been thus explicit because, as a druggii t. I
have seen a great deal of sotferlDg from Catarrh, tui
hope to convince many that this is a great remedy.
I am famlliarwlth the treatment of Catarrh as practised
by the best physicians, and have consulted ti.a
most eminent about my case. I have used every kii.d
of remedy and apparatus that have appeared during a
period or six years past, and have, while following
their use, taken great care of my general health, but
obtained no rcller or encouragement from any of them.
Since curing myselfwltiiSAxroaD'sRADiCALCvm:,
I have recommended it in over one hundred cases
without a single case offallnre.and have In numerous
instances received wholesale orders from partii s to
whom I have sold one bottle. This is the only patent
medicine I have ever recommended, never having believed
In them before, although constantly engaged in
their sale. Very gratefhlly youre,
