THE GREAT FLOOD.

A Grandmother's Story.

From Lippincott's Magazine.] How long ago was it? do you ask, little Benny? Sixty-one years, if it was a day. It is June,

BOW:

I was seventy-nine the

tenth of last April, exactly sixty-one years before. It was my eighteenth birth-day, ,ioo: I remember that as well as any thin] else that happened. For that matter, remember it all well enough: it's not very likely I shall forget such a lime as thai was untill the sods cover me. Come here to my knee, Benny, anct I'll tell you all about'it.

The country was new then—not so new that the Indians or the wild animals troubled us much, for there werfe only a few of the Delawares very near us, and they were so much civilized that they cared for nothing but whisky and a stray wolf or catamount was all that troubled our pigs, and chickens. When I pay it was a new country, I mean that it was pretty much all woods, with very few settlements, and not many people in them. They were mostly along the banks of this river, for most every one. was lumbering or rafting and that was what brought father here from Vermont. Mother died away up among the Green Mountains and it always 6eemed to me as if he couldn't bear the old homestead after that He grew very restless and uneasy and one day he came home early in the afternoon aqgi said to me "Daughter, I have a chance to sell the place at a bargain. Shall I do it? This hasn't been much like home to me for two months: I think I'm wanting new scenes and new faces tc blunt the grief I have for her that's left us. Shall we go to Pennsylvania, Bessy? I've a plan to go into the lumber trade and mayhap I'll make so much money in a year or two that we'll go to Philadelphia, and you'll be a lady the rest of your daye- Shall we go, Bess?

Poor father! The dear, kind soul lived and died with the wish nearest his heart to make me a fine lady. I'm thankful that he never saw it accomplished but he did see me become a useful woman, and, I hope and trust, a good wife and mother. How that happened, little Benny, is the story that I'm telling you now.

Look irom the north window, there, boy: I'd come and look with you, but my rheumatism is bad to-day. No matter. Do you see that long point of land, a mile up stream, that runs out into the river? Yes? Well—look a little closer at it. Farthest from the shore it spreads out into an acre of good, high land, but then arrow neck that joins that to the shore is commonly almost as low as the bed of the stream. There are great high steppingstones across it now, that father laid there when we first came and we used to walk dryshod over them when the spring rains had raised the river. I remember but one solitary time when the water covered the stepping-stones as well as the neck of land and that was the time of the great flood.

Our little house was built on that high land, out in the middle of the river—a two-story frame -affair, with two rooms down stairs and two rooms up and, after all, it took all the neighbors to raise the roof. It was an odd notion of father's, putting it there: he used to say that the day would come when he could sell off valuable water-priviledges all around his acre. That day hasn't come yet, Benny but sometimes, when I think of poor dear father, and all his plans and schemes for me, and of what has happened, I really think that something like Providence put it into his heart to fancy that queer little corner out therein the river, and to build our house there. I am going to tell you what I mean right away.

After, the little house was built and furnished, I stayed at home and kept it, and father took to the woods with the loggers, He led a hard enough life from that time out till he died summer and winter he was at work with his men—sometimes at the loggers' camp, then hauling the logs to the river and rafting them down to the bay, where he sold them to the contractors. There were weeks when he wouldn't be at home a day but Sunday but when he was rafting I often heard his, shout on the river, and could see him waving his hat from the raft as it went slowly down the stream with the current. I hope I was a good daughter in those days: I tried my best to do all thai I could for him. I kept the house neat and tidy, and mended his clothes and regularly once a day 1 cooked a great mess, which was taken up hot to the loggers' camp in a great tin pail that was got from the city. was lonesome-like often enough, for there were whole days that 1 did not see a human being to exchange a word with, but Ben Sample, who 'most always came for the^dinner. Ileigho! It's long enough ago that I'm telling you of and handsome Ben Sample was then harbly twenty-one. I don't know, mv boy, but the lads are as handsome and sprightly, and as good now as they were threescore years ago: if I sav not, it may be because 1 see them through an old woman's eye's and that I can't see the charm that I could once. However that is, I know I never saw so fine a lad, every way, as that one was. He was not over tall, nor yet short he was of middling height, with broad shoulders and big hands, and was as strong as any two of tne men—so father said. He had curly chestnut hair, and red and white checks, like a girl, though sunburnt and his eyes were great blue ones, and his teeth shone so when he laughed [and that was often] that anybody would have liked him. And then he was so honest and so clever, and so kind and obliging, that before I had seen him many times I came to like him right well and one day I happened to say to father that I thought Ben Sample was an excellent lad, and that 1 wished I could have more of his company. I never saw father look stern all of a sudden, as he did then and I never heard him speak so stem, either. "Better leave him in his place, Bessv," lie said, very quick and sharplike. "He's naught but a poor lumberman, after all, and ne's not likely to be aught else. Don't be tender with him, daughter: I bid you not. If you've felt any too kind to him, you must check it in time. Have little to say to him, daughter it's* your father's wish."

Poor Ben! There had been no talk of love between us before this morning, and I do not know that I had thought of him at all as a lover but by and by, after a few weeks more, when I had tried hard to obev mv father's command and treat him coldly, he lingered one day over the great tin pail long enough to press my hand and whisper bashfully to'me, "Dear Uessv!" 1 snatched my hand fcyay and looked hard at him, and told him that he must never say nor do that again. He left me looking as gfri^Ved&rQYi^sa wan other wor: tal.Iook and when he was gone I went out to the log-seat bv the river and cried as thougti my heart wotild break. 1 did not know my feelings till then, but if Ben Sample could have'seen me thj*t half hour!

Ben did not come with the great pail after that: another man took his place and things went on in the old lonely way all the rest of the winter and through the spring. It was in the first week in March, I think, of that year that father brought young Mr. Cardie to the hou-e. Young "Mr. Cardie was the only son of Jacob Cardie, the Millionaire, who lived in Philadelphia, and who was contracting with father for all of his logs for years to come. The old man meant that young Jacob should succeed him in business in

few mouths and he thought it would be an excellent thing to send him up into the loggers' country for a while, to get him acquainted with the different kinds of lum Der, and the processes of catting it and getting it to market. Father thought it would be a good thing for himself to entertain him at the house while he remained and so, for the next five weeks, they were regularly at home morning and night, sleeping in the house and spending the day in the woods or on the river. But it wasn't hard to see that young Mr. Cardie grew tired of this very soon and presently he began to come back to the house in the middle of the day, and fish or shoot in the neighborhood until night.

You'll want to know what kind of a man he was, boy. He was pale and slende handsome enough for those that like such beauty as that in men and rather foppish with his diamond fring and his silky moustache. He was very polite, too, and he would talk and chatter as city folks can but I never thought there was much heart or good-feeleng in anything he said or did. Yet he seemed to like

me from the first and poor father whispered to me ten times, if he did once, Play thy cards sorewdly, Bessy, and thou'lt catch him! He'll make thee a lady, girl, and a rich one!" And stranger things have happened, I know, than my marrying him would have been: surely, affairs were rapidly drifting toward it and I had almost succeeded in crashing the thought of Ben Sample out of my heart, and in playing the part that my fkther wished me to play to young Mr. Cardie (for I never could have persuaded myself to love him), when that fateful tenth of April came that brought my eighteenth birth-day and the Great Flood together.

The river had been rising slowly for a week before it, and there had been much rain with us. We heard reports of tremendous rains in the mountains two hundred miles north of us, which lasted for days and the river continued to rise steadily and slowly, though up to that day it was not _over the stepping-stones across the neck. On the morning of the tenth the rain camedown at first steadily, and Mr. Cardie thought he would not leave the house. Father went over to the camp after breakfast, saying that he would re turn, as usual, toward night and so we two spent the day alone together. I tried to talk with him and to interest him, but he was restive and uneasy, and half the time was idly turning over leaves or drumming with his fingers on the windowpanes. It was about the middle of the afternoon, when I was wondering what I should do next (and thinking a little of poor Ben Sample, I believe)' that Mr. Cardie turned snort around to me from the window and said very abruptly,

I'm going back to the city to-morrow Bessy. I want to know if I can come back here in three months—that'll be the middle of July—and make you my wife?

I looked straight at him, and said not a word, but oh, my boy, how I did

think of

Ben! "I'm rich enough for both, of us, and to spare," hewenton "and you're everything that I want in a wife. You know you're handsome, Bessy, and I suppose you are good. Will you marry me when I come again?"

I never thought of myself or of my own feelings: I put all thoughts of Ben out of my head, remembered my father, and said "Yes"—nothing more. I dont know whether Mr. Cardie would have kissed me or not he had no chance for hardly had I spoken that word when there was a knock at the door, and I opened it to admit— Ben Sample himself!

We were all three of us rather ill at ease for a moment. Mr. Cardie knew Ben, I suppose, and must have heard something about his old feelings for me, for he stepped back to the window and frowned, neaver speaking or nodding to Ben, who stood there with his hat twirling in his hands, awkward and abashed. He only found his tongue when I asked him to sit down, and then said. "Nay, I can't stop. I only came to bring your father's message that he won't be home to-night. The rise in the river has broken loose the great raft up at Loan's Ford, that was to have been floated own to-morrow, and he's gone up with all hands to moor it He can't be here tonight."

That was awkward news for me. I had never thought of staying in that lonely, place without father and it was little consolation to think of Mr. Cardie as a protector. Just as I had a question on my tongue. Ben spoke again. "You don't know how fast the river is rising," he said. "Out on the stones the water is almost up to the tops of my boots, and seems to be rising higher." "Do you think there is any danger in staying here to-night?" I asked, in some alarm. "Maybe not," he answered, doubtfully "but I never knew the river to be so high before." "Ben, Ben, what shall I do?" I took no thought at all of Mr. Cardiff, and felt no safety except from the presence of Ben. "Didn't father send any other word?" "None at all." "And won't you stay?" "After what has" happened, Bessy? I shouldn't think you'd wish it." Then he must have seen how grieved and sorry I looked, and how alarmed I felt, for he added, right away, "Yes, I will stay," Bessy, if you wish it, though I trust and believe there's no danger."

I thanked him with a look, and before I could fay anything more, Mr. Cardie spoke. "Do you think there is any danger of the river unsettling the house?" he asked.

It surely will if it rises high enough," Ben replied. "Hark! hear that!" Generally, when the door was open, we could hear a faint ripple of the current, but it now had a hoarse, loud sound that was new to me. Ben looked dubious as he heard it. "I dont like that," he said. "Let me go out and see."

He was not gone three minutes, and he came back with his face full of trouble. "'The water is within twenty feet of the doar," he said. "I don't suppose I could wade from here to the bank. We must leave here at once, and when you're safe, I'll come back and save some of the things. If the water gains like this, all this floor will be under in an hour."

He went out again: I knew what for. The west foundation-wall of the house was next the river, and father always kept a skiff tied there. I understood, from what Ben said, that he meant to bring the skiff round to the front and take us to the shore. I was putting on my hood and shawl when he came back. His face was as pale as ashes, and he never noticed me at first, but lpoked all round the room and into father's chamber. "Where's that fellow Cardie?" he asked. I had not noticed that he was gone: he had been standing bv the window just before Ben went out the last time. "I thought it," Ben cried, and his face looked half sorry, half mad. "Bessy, do you know what has happened? The skiff is goiie, and that man with it."

I looked, terrified, into his face, and then followed him to the door and looked out- with him. It was almost nsglit, but what there was of daylight left showed us a mad, white-capped torrent of water rushing through the channel between us and the shore—so near to us that we could have stepped off the lower step into it—and roaring and whirling in a way that was fearful to see. The rain had ceased, and I didn't then see how it could be that the river could rise so but 1 unterstood it afterward, when they told me that it was all owing to a sudden thaw up in.the mountains, that had melted the snow in the gorges and fpoured hundreds of new streams into the river all at once. We looked a moment, and th?n came back into the room. I was fraid, I suppose but not so much so as thought at first. Somehow I felt a sense of security with Ben Sample there that robbed the situation of all the terrors it would have had without him. I hardly thought of Jacob Cardie, and how mean and heartless he was to abondon us so and deprive us of the means of safety, when Ben wanted to save lis all together. '"Ben will save me," was all I could think of and suppose I repeated the words to myself a hundred times. Once I must have spoken them aloud for he said, "I will, Bessy—God willing. I will pray for strength that I may."

He knelt there on the floor and prayed, and I knelt beside him and took one of his hands in both of mine. When we arose we heard the first low washing of the water against the east side of the liouc. mingled with the louder rushing and brawling of the torrent beyond. When it grew so dark that I could not see Ben's face, I lit a candle and we sat there together in silence, I holding his hand. My heart was too lull for speech, and Ben said nothing but a word of comfort now and then. "There's nothing for us to do but to stay here and hope for the best," he told me once. And then he added, "While there's

a hope, and when there's none, PC not leave you, Bessy." Dear, noble Ben! I wanted to throw myself on his breast and tell him my secret, but something prevented me—I don' know what—and I only pressed the hand that I held.

There was no slackening to the river it rose higher and higher every moment, and by ten o'clock the water was over the floor where we stood. Ben had'carried the tninks, and the things I thought most of, up stairs and we then -took to jthe second story. Here we stayed for two hours more, I listenlrig 'all the time for the sound of oars or voiees, for I hoped that father would come and take us off Midnight came and I grew impatient, and complainingly asked Ben if he conld tell why father did not come and rescue us.

I'm afraid I can, Bessy," he answered with a grave face. "The great raft went down the river two hours ago: 1 heard the voices of the men shouting, and I don't doubt your father is "carried away with the rest. But don't be afraid: they're all safe, I hope, and they'll get to shore when morning comes."

I couldn't help crying when he told me that, and I nestled up to him as if I had been a child, and he put his strong arm around me. It was not long after this that we felt the house settling and tipping, and not much longer when it careened half-way over, and was whirled away into the river by the torrent that had been undermining the foundation?. That was an awful hour, my lad! Ben held one arm around me, and with the other hand grasped the window-sill, while he braced his feet in the corner of the room and the rising and falling of the poor wreck under ns, as the heady current swept us along, gave me at first the feeling that we were going straight to the bottom. The wind moaned outside, the water beat against the planks, and the beams cracked and gaped as though the poor old house was all falling apart. Long before daylight we both saw that it was settling down deeper and deeper into the water, which rose over the upper floor- and when Ben had succeeded in knocking out the'scuttle, he dragged me out on the roof—how, I dont know. I only know that he did it, and that but for him my drowned body would have floated there in tha old wrecked house when the morning came.

And I don't know much about how the rest of that dreadful night passed. Ben sat up on the ridge-pole, and held me on by main strength and in the cold and the darkness 1 believe I slept: certainly forgot where I was for along time, and forgot I was cold too. But then I didn't know, until I woke up at broad daylight, that Ben had taken his coat off and put it around my shoulders. The house had sunk so low that one of the eaves was tipped clear out of water, and the other was "three feet under. We were drifting slowly down the centre of the stream: the shore was almost a mile off on either side, and there was not a sail nor a sign of help in sight. I looked at Ben, perfectly hopeless and calm in my despair, and he looked back with hope and courage. '•There's one hope yet, Bessy,' he said, cheerily and his finger pointed to an object floating ten rods behind us—an object the sight of which filled my heart with gratitude to God, that he had heard and had thus answered our prayers. It was my father's skiff} with the oars lying the bottom of it, following along in our track as if to save us from destruction! I understood at once how it was Jacob Cardie had drawn it up on the shore after deserting us, and the rise of the flood had carried it out and falling into the strong current of the neck, which set toward the middle of the stream, it had followed us all night. Ben looked wistfully at it, and measured with his eye the distance to it. The roof to which we clung was alternate ly sinking and swaying, and the water sucked and eddied ominously around it. "This old thing can't swim many moments longer," he said. "Can you hold on here alone, Bessy, while I swim out to the skiff and bring it to you?" He did not wait for me to reply, but lifted me to the place where he had sat, and showed me how to grasp the bare rafter, where the boards had been strained ofj When he had done this, he stopped, just as he was going to let himself oft into the water, and looking at me with a tender, mournful look that I can never forget—no, not if I should live to be twice fourscore—he said, "You'll be safe in ten minutes, I hope: may God spare me, for your sake! Yet if anything should happen,to either of us, that we shouldn't meet again in this world, I must tell you now, Bessy, that nobody has loved you as I have—that nobody loves you now as I do. Believe me, dear for, it is true."

I know it, Ben—I know it!" I sobbed and I put up my face to his. He bent over and kissed me, with such a look of mighty surprise and overwhelming joy as I don't believe any man ever had before and crying outj "Hold hard, Beasy—hold fast, girl!' he jumped into the river and struck out for the skiff.

I did not tell him when he left me that my hands were cold, almost numb a.'.dl held tight to the rafter and watched him while the pain in my poor hands and arms was distressing me Forely. I saw him reach the skiff, and balance himself and labor carefully over its side to get in without overturning it and when he had accomplished this my strength was almost gone. My hands were giving, slipping I made one last spasmodic effort to retain my hold, and shouted wildly to Ben. I heary the plash of oars, and his loud,cheery voice encourageing me darkness overtook me as my hands slipped their grasp. Clutching at the shingles, I slid downward, down, but not to my watery grave. The skiff shot past me. Ben Sample's arm snatched me from my peril, and I lay safely in the bottom of the boat, while his stout arms rowed me toward the shore. "Look there!" he exclaimed and I looked my last at the poor old house. The roof heaved and settled, the waters washed up over it, and it sank in a wild whirlpool that sucked it down.

That was the last of our danger. We got to the shore and found a house and before night we had a chance to take a cchooner up the river. In a day or two father came up with most of his men and such a meeting as we had! The raft had been carried off by the flood, as Ben thought, and two of the men had perished by drowning. And when I told him the true story of our night in the house afloat, he took Ben by the hand, with tears in his eyes, and begged his pardon for thinking that anybody could be better than such a brave, noble fellow.as he had proved himself. "And especially that cowardly sneak, Cardie," father added, with a savage slap of his haud on his knee. "Plague take me! what & fool I would be, sometimes, if I had my own way?"

As for Jacob Cardie, I never heard a syllable more of him. I never wanted to. I am not sorry that I met him, for he served to show me the difference between Ben Sample and the little creatures the world of fashion and wealth calls men.

Welladay! It's many along year since then it's many along year that I lived as the happy wife of that same Ben ample ana it's not many since God took him home before me. How old are you, little Benny? Nine, indeed! Then he died just nine years ago: you were named for him, boy, for you were born the morning that he died. He was your own grandfather, little Ben and 1 can give you no better wish than that you may be as brave, as strong and as good a man as was he.

gist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, ani help the Pulmonic Syrup to dig at and search hrough the blood vessels, by which means a core is soon effected.

These medicine* are cones ientiousiy offered to the public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pulmonary Consumption and for all those morbid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal disease. LiTer Coyplaint and dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consumption and when they manifea themselves they require the most prompt at tention.

The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a long probation before the public Its value has been proved by thousand of cure it has made through a period of more than thirty-five years in all of which time its reputation has constantly increased and the most obstinate skepticism can no longer doubt that it is a remedy which may be used with confidence in all cases which admit of a cure

Ifthe parent will perseveringly follow the directions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured, if his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure possible. Even in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this Medicine has saved the life of tho patient and restored him to perfect health.

Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts that often when patients havo the most alarming symptoms such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they are given up by their physicians they may still be cured. No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very sadly diseased, and to som' extent destroyed, a cure may be effected by Dr. Schenck's medicines.

Also in Scrofulous Diseases, these medicines arc equally efficient. Dr. Schenck has photo graphs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying prop erties, which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs.

In the treatment of Consumption it is of the Utmost importance to give vigor and healthy tone to the system. Hence it is neces sary to strengthen the appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is required together with suoh means as will make the food easily digestible. The articles most suitable for the diet o^ Consumptive patients are designated in Dr. Schenck's Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously. In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred, but the digestive organs must be strenghtened in order to make either food or medicine serviceable. This requirement is met by the Seaweed Tonic, and for this purpose it was design n3ed.

When tho digestive powers aro put in good order the food has its proper effect, the system of the.patient is invigorated and the lungs begin to exercise their functions in a nominal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure.

Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck's Mandrake Pills intended to remove obstruction from the liver and restore its healthy action. They have all the efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or "bluo mass," and are warranted not to contain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills cure the most obstinate costivencss.sickheadache, piles, bilious affections and all other diseases which arise from a torpid or obstructed condition of the liver. One box of these pills will prove tho efficacy of the medicine.

In Consumption tho Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are invaluable auxiliary medicines. They rcljevo the sufferings of the patient and assisst the Pulmonic Syrup in effecting a cure. They havo been found useful in advanced stages of Consumption, when the lungs are almost entirely destroyed, and all symptoms according to tho judgment of tko physicians, indicated speedy death. The lives of patients who were actually in a dying condition have been preserved for months by the. use of Schenck's three great remedies.

Malarious Fogs.

Countless millions of cubic feet of malarious vapor reek from the moist earth every twentyfour hours during the month of November. This evaporated moisture is the active principle which begets fever and ague, billious remittents, indigestion, dysentery,billious cholic, rheumatism, and many other ailments which prevail more generally in tho Fall than at other seasons, and some of which in low, swampy regions and new clearings, tako the form of virulent epidemics. The best safeguard against these complaints, as evidenced by tho experience of a long series of years, is HOSTETTER'S STOMACH, BITTERS, the most pleasant and at the same time tho most efficient of all vegetable tonics, Tho invigoration of the system is manifestly tho best means of defending it against tho causes of sicknoss, whether constitutional or casual. Nature, as every pathologist knows, is the most determined enemy of diseaso, and tho paroxsysms of an acute malady are in most instances the consequences of the efforts she makes to conquer tho foe. The great object, therofore, of preventive treatment is to reinforce the system, and it is accomplished th6roughly, rapidly and safely, by tho use of IIOSTETTER'S BITTERS. This powerful tonic contains also an aparient and corrective principle. It is no less valuable as a regulator and purifier than as an invigorant, and there is no danger of exciting the brain or overstimulating tho circulation by employing-it as an antidote. dwlw.

The cogs on one end of a roll are set relatively between those on the other end of tha game roll, virtually forming a

DOUBLE GEAR,

and thereby nearly doubling the purchase.— (The importance of setting gears in this position is not generally understood.)

Notwithstanding the rolls cau separate freely at either end, the Cog-wheels cannot be thrown out of gear on both ends of the Wringer at the same time, unless the pressure is taken off.

The Novelty is fastened to a tub or box by a Patent Curved Clrtmp, which has an equal bearing on the tub the whole length of the wringer. Other Wringers are merely fastened to a stave at eaeh end, and are thus liable to wrench the staves from their proper position and ruin the tub.

The Cog-wheels, Thumb-screws, Ac., are nicely galvanized. Buy uie "NOVELTY," or at least take it on trial with AJFY or ALL others, and keep the BKST.

DR. WHITTIER,

A REGULAR GRADUATE OF MEDICINE, as Diploma at office will show, has been longer engaged in the treatment of Venereral Seyual and Private Diseases than any other Phy*cian in St. Louis.

Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Gleet, Stricture, Orchitis, Ilernis and Rupture, all Uninary diseases, Syphilitic or Mercurial Affections of the Throat, Skin or Bones, are treated with unparalleled success.

Spermatorrhea, Sexual Debility and Impotency, as the result of self-abuse in youth, sexual excess in mature years or other causes, and which produce some of the following effects, as Nocturnal Emissions, Blotches, De-

Power,and rendering Marriage are permanently cured. The Doctor's opportunities in hospital ana private practice are unsurpassed in St. Louis or or any other city. Baca files of St. Louis papers prove that ne has been located there longer by years than any other so advertising. The establishment, library, labratory and appointments, are unrivalled in the West, unrivalled anywhere. Ago, with experience. can be relied npon, and the Doctor can refer to many physicians throughout the country. In past succcss and present position he stands without a competitor. THE WRITINGS OF A PHYSICIAN WHOSE

REPUTATION IS UNION-WIDE, ARE WORTH READING. Doctor Whitticr publishes a Medical Pam-

Shet

relating to A enereal Diseases and the isastrous and varied consequences of selfabuse, that will be sent to any address in a sealed envelope for two Btamps. It contains full symptom lists that will enable those affected to determine the nature of their complaint and give a written statement of their case that will answer almost as well for the purpose of treatment as a personal interview but where it is convenient the Doctor should be consulted personally. Those having friends that may require advice, can supply them with this valuable work by sending their address, with stamp. Thus you can assist the unfortunates without their knowing their benefactor. Certainly no subject is of m6re importance than purity of Dlood and perfect manhood.

It is self-evident that a physician who confines himself exclusively to the study of a certain class of diseases and treats thousands of eases every year, must acquire' greater skill in that specialty than only pen era! practice. Many physicians, recornicing this fact, introduce patients to the Doctor after reading his Medical Pamphlet. Communications confidential. A friendly talk will cost you nothing.
