Just as wo supposed. That colored man who was killed in Alabama was a Republican to the backbone. He died for the cause.

"It is no light thing," says the Boston Transcript, "to change United States Senator in Massachusetts." For "is" read "was." Webster and Sumner are dead.

Brooklyn thinks of sending another preacher to Congress. It will be some time, however, before the ungodly in that bear-garden can be downed on a yea and nay vote.

Tho Chicago papers are twisting their wits out of joint to find a matrimonial alliance for Mayor Harrison. If he doesn't lasso a Duchess or some thing over in Europe they think he can make a point with the Haytien Princess Sonlouque, who Avill soon be in Illinois.

Tho fair bather is hereby warned against red bathing suits. One of them was worn at Rye Beach by a sportive damsel, and for several hours the beach was patrolled by a fierce cow desirous of a closer acquaintance with the girl. She did not escape from the water till the cow was killed.

William Chapman, of Wortliington, paid the penalty of his life for keeping a maniac wife at home when she ought to have been in the asylum. Sho had long threatened to make away with him, and the cunning of these demented creatures can sometimes discount the best laid plans of the sane. Mrs. Chapman, however, seems to have had sense enough to know that in her case the Devil had triumphed. There was no claim about being "God's man," as one of her distinguished contemporaries was wont to remark.

Tho Hon. Mr. Garland, who enjoys the distinction of regretting that his duelistic son didn't take down a shotgun and go out for Addison, instead of fooling away his time on a duel, is a fair type of his class. It was past belief that fossils of the Old Red-Sand-stone period, like this fine old irginia gentleman, could ever learn the tricks of a new era. But the harmless batch of duels we have had of late years in Virginia, warranted a hope that the youngergeneration would discard the code entirely. The demonstration of sympathy with young Garland on his trial knocks this hope on the head. Tho field of "Ilonali" still continues to thrive.

Tho best law, Btrange to say, against duelling, exists in Kentucky. In that Sitate one who engages in or abets a duel is disfranchised and debarred from holding any office of honor or profit forever. When the enraged -Kentuckian begins to pick out his weapons for a duel, he lets his eye rest on the future in store for him and the duel dosen't come off. Any Kentuckian is willing to die, but he can't face the prospects of retiring from politics.

THEY COME IK A BUNCH. A discerning inhabitant of Newark, who has been watching the operations of nature closely in that branch office of New York, addresses the following boiled down result of his investigations to The Sun: "There Is some mysterious law at work In this city," said aNewark police official yesterday, "which causes unusual events to run In strata, so to speak. Two weeks ago a man named White fell out of his bedroom window and was killed. When William F. Powell, the former Assistant City Clerk, heard of the accident he said he would have to be careful as his window stills were low. That night he fell out of his window and lost his life. Within three or four days there wero three other fatal accidents of the same kind,and then a child tumbled out of a window, and being caught In the air by a woman, was saved. That broke the run of this class of fatalities. I heard a scientific man say that the contagion of occurrences, as he called It, is due to the publication of the^day's doings. He says a man reads of a shooting affair, and, being a little crazy, lie goes and shoots somebody himself. I don't believe In this theory, although sometimes there does seem to be something in it. Whatever the cause Is, events got Into.ruts here. It wasn't very long ago that a workman In tho zinc works Jumped off the wharf there and drowned himself. The next day a man not employed about tho place went to the same wharf and ended his life In the same way, and after tliat every twcnty-liftb man, It seemed, was limping off wharves along the Passaic River. Everybody knows what a train of troubles the banks got Into here for a time. It was a spell that lasted a long while. Last Monday night William Warner got drunk and shot his wife in the head, and last Tuesday GottHeb Enghoffer filled himself with beer' and tried to blowout his wife's brains. Besides this, Charles Korn slashed his wife with aknlfe. Now that we have switched on to that track Newark wives had better be careful. Those who are in the country or at the seashore should take warning and stay there away from their husbands."

It is natural that things should come in pairs in this world. The Lord began by arranging the human race in a pair. Noah followed by making the animals pair off in the ark, and the habit has become so fixed apart of society that even Congressmen don't do much but "pair." But the most unexplainable part of the whole feature of pairs is the way they work in crimes and calamities. Misfortunes never com® singly. They come bunched up. It ought to be the same with happiness, but the rule stops before it reaches that point. Misery and joy are in about the same proportion as water and land on the globe—three to one.

Whenever you hear ot an accident on the river, make your arrangements Io travel by land and whenever you hear of some calamity on the land, prepare to go by water, for if you tempt Fate over a trail that is shadowed with disaster, you run a beautiful chance of climbing the golden stairs. There can't be anything but a blind fatality in all this, but cold logic can never wipe it out. The facts stand to terrify the traveling public. Steamboats on the Ohio and Mississippi seem to work by concerted action, for when one blows up or strikes a snag the rest follow like a flock of mechanical sheep. The loss of one ocean steamer is almost universally followed on close time by the loss of another, and with no widespread storms to account for the multiplied disasters. Accidents on the rail, follow much the same general law, if law it can be called. A cyclone in Iowa is a hint to a brother cyclone in New England or Eroding of'\a (lain''fn tFie"fiiHsnof Yankeo Land arouses some dam in California to a sense of its obligations to the public.

The most alarming and singular perversity of human nature, however, can be found in the history of crime. Within the past few days this has been demonstrated in a peculiar way. Over in Bonnievillc, Kentucky, a hopeful youth of the soil indulged in a quarrel with his younger sister, and in order to maintain the reputation of his native State, he gathered up a Barlow knife and whacked away at the belligerent and aggravating young Miss till she died. The moment this cue got abroad, a couple of young citizens of Ohio, aged about twelve, took it up and fatally butchered each other and, at the same time, allowing opportunity for the new departure to reach the western dope, a youngster if California cracked away at his uifcle and shot him through the heart. This may be called setting the fashions in crime. The globe is peopled with imitators, and in crime there is the same weird and morbid temptation to follow the lead of an original genius as there is in literature, politics or the arts. This looms up conspicuously in the highly-inventive and original criminal history of France, and artists in suicide and the art of destruction can always be found, who stand on ceremony in the premises, and hold off operations till they strike certain methods that will entitle them to be called models and connoisseurs in the art.

In the good old days, lioweyer, these glittering originalities on the part cf the children were unheard of. About the sum total of their wickedness consisted in playing hookey from school. By degrees they have enlarged their field of operations till it is now fair to call them experts at an early age. The girls are to be exempted from this category because they don't have the same golden opportunities to exchange highly-colored Dick Turpin lies as the boys, and Heaven be thanked, they don't display the same passion to be heroes at the expense of law and order. There is no doubt in the world that much of this morbid thirst for the attractions of crime has been fed by the infernal novels that have been dumped on the public for the benefit of boys. The moment a youngster is caught in the act of reading this trash (which he generally does with a cigarette in his mouth) he should be bound in chains and hauled to a Reformatory school. Better still would be to clean out the makers and printers of the blood-curdling stories, for they cause more deviltry to the square inch than tho James brothers and their gang of thieves.

The girls suffer, though in a different way, from a class of books now plentiful on the market. All will remember tho St. Elmo mania—how it spread, like an insidious disease, through society, throwing its noxious influence over the youth of thecountry, until it was shocking to see how the tender creatures wero covered with its poisonous mildew. Boys of the intermediate grade, just old enough to steal a smoke in the woodshed and then be sick for their ambition, jumped into the seven-leagued boots of the ludicrous hero, climed by the ladder of imagination to the top of the author's ten-story words, and then hugged her infernal shapes of rhetoric in their dreams. Maidens of sixteen would

sneak early jo bed with. the book un'der their aprons, an'd forsake, their grammar lessons, to commune with that insane word—mangier, Ethel, while she raved in stilted language about the immensities of the human soul, and all that sort of intellectual rot.

And while thus stealthily engaged on St. Elmo, the sweet little creatures could not see that the hectic flush on their fresh faces, caused by straining their nerves over unfathomable sentences, indicated that the seeds of literary disease were in their system, and would have to be pulled out before they could appreciate the wholesome thoughts of the best literary leaders. This book, like others of its class, was bad in its influence, because callow nature revelled in hugging the author's linguistic toads when- they might have been gathering pearls from other quarters. To-day, it is no doubt safe enough to remark tliat the name of Augusta Evans, who perpetrated the St. Elmo monstrosity, is the synonym of repentance with hundreds who have outgrown her nonsense. But others are coming along, and Bhe still continues her nefarious business of butchering fine sentiments and muddying the well of "pure English undefiled."

This entire class of literature for the young has grown to the size of a national nuisance. It is beyond the clutch of Anthony Comstock or Congress, but a firm use of the cat o' nine tail and the boot jack might banish it from our homes. -i

London society will no doubt be all torn up into a war map when the boys come home from Egypt, and the noble Lord, who was wounded in the hand Bt tha late battle, carries his daniaged fin around in a silk bandage. English society is nothing if not devoted to its braves. My noble Lord will be lionized as the occasion demands, and figure to some extent under the arrears of pension act. We trust, however, for the quiet of English society, that the day is far distant when Prince Teck will get within range of a toy pistol. He was unhurt at last accounts.

CURRENT COMMENT.

These Emperors area bad lot. One of them turned himself loose in New York the other day. He was followed by three other members of the royal family, all temporarily the guests of P. T. Barnum, Esq. The four ran faster than horses through the streets, until Emperor was attracted by the, light In a rail mill, and dashed In, followed by his companions. The workmen hid. Emperor knocked down a man and women, then stepped on some red-hot rails, gave a roar of pain, and rushing on knocked a man down with his trunk, threw another down an embankment, tossed a barrel through a barn, tossed another man against a fence, breaking three of his ribs and injuring his spine, tore the clothes nearly off the next man he met, spraining his arms and hands then seeing a woman in a door, reached up and threw his trunk around her, leaving her in convulsions, and threw a man against a door. A mother In the street with her baby in her arms ran to get Into the house. Emperor threw her up seven steps of the stairs and dislocated her shoulder, without hurting the baby. Emperor completed his evenln diversion by knocking down and breaking the ribs of two more men, and then he entered the steel works and walked over several red-hot steol' ."blooms." Mad with pain, he took to the river and swam half a mile to a blast furnace, rushed Into the mill howling and chasing the men about, and throwing fragments of iron

er captured him. The English altogether have sent from home about 15,1)00 men and 5,000 horses to Egypt. They have brought up 10,000 men from India. When Gen. Wolso ley starts on his prancing way to Cairo It Is expected that he will have under his command about 1-1,000 Infantry and 5,000 cavalry. It Is supposed that Arabl will meet his advance with about 40,000 undisciplined and unculturcd sons of the desert who will Bliakc hands with the British collectors with great fervency.

Everything goes to show that the campaign down in Kentucky is on. Last Tuesday tho Courier-Journal Informed its readers that "it had hoped to give a verbatim report of the Blackburn-Owens discussion at Lagrango yesterday, but the pre fessional photographer employed to assist our reporters in taking the speeches devoted liis time aud talonts to taking whisky straight, and wo lire reduced to the alternative of giving a general account of the meeting or none at all."

The Paris Figaro is at last genuinely amused, which is a novel sensation for the Giddy Capital. It is all about the revenge of a Belle Petite. She got behind hand with lier rent, as bello pet I tea do, and tho owner of the house in which she resided called upon her to see what could bo done about it He is a rich old fellow, and ho promptly snid to Mademoisello that if she would accept his love, the affair could bout once settled. At tlilsMadomolsellc burst into aloud laugh, and the old gentleman went away as angry as man ever was. He threatened legal proceedings, and he did moro than threaten. While the case was pending Mademoiselle wrote him a pretty note, asking him to comoand see how nicely she had had the apartments decorated, and adding that she would pay up. The proprietor went, and discovered that which made him a great deal more angry than ho was before, In every room his handsome self was frescoed upon the wall, aud In such attitudes, and such costumes! Mademoiselle had the pictures made by a friend of hers, a distinguished painter, and one who received a medal from the last salon. The painter and the woman have both been arrested.

Yes. my dear, you are quite right. The rules of society now-a-days, are Inflexible. If a suitor lias blue blood, his poverty must not stand In his way. If he has not blue blood, then he must be wealthy. Papas never ask for both blood and gold.

Resigned to Die.

Post-Dlspatcli. In a weary, heart-broken way the Dem ocratlo editor of the Indianapolis

Sentinel

soliloquizes thus: "What is more delicious than sleep, and where do mensleep better than In a tomb? We are told that there Is a more beautiful world than we are now Inhabiting, and that death nnbars its doors and lets us Into It. If so why shrink at dd&th or try to prolong this life?"

This sounds very much like the musing of a man who has recently surged up against a straight flush with an aco full. For further details inquire of General Sclienck.

George Eliot's Face.

George Eliot, to whom, as to all who saw her, her own face was far from a thing of beauty, was as averse to sitting for her picture as was a pick-pocket -who is given a free ticket at the photographer's for th« benefit of the rogue's gallery. Shortly hefore the death of the famous novelist the artiste Princess Louise, finding hersolf seated near her at a concert, stolo that- equine ylsage, and bore it away in herskotcli hook undiscovered, sparing her mentally as complete as .a skillful surgeon spares physically »n etherized pailent.

Bathers at Bay.

Springfield Republican. A party of "summer boarders" had] a long bathe at Marblehead the other morning. Leaving their clothes in a secluded spot, they plunged into the cold surf as they were wont to do when boys, but an elderly, deaf, and short sighted woman soon passed that way, and unconsciously sat down with her knitting in a shady nook near their clothes. They shivered and shouted and profaned, but she heard them not, and a full hour passed before the good woman moved on.

BEHIND THE SCENES.

Messrs. Brooks & Dickson announce that they have engaged a troupe pf fortytwo English Romany gypsies, to appear In "The Romany Rye," which is to be tho opening attraction of tho coming season at Booth's. The band is now encamped at Germantown, Pa.

Frau Josephine Gallmeyor, the famous Viennese soubrette, who Is to play an engagement at Thalia Theatre In the course of the coming season, is engaged in writing a farce, with Leon Treftow as colaborer, of which the first performance will take place I11 New York city.

With a laudable desire to correct the somewhat poor opinion British playgoers pretend to entertain of the American drama and its interpreters, Mr. Charles Backus has followed in the wake of Mr. Booth, his brother tragedian, and Is now showing cockney admirers of the histrionic art his versatility as an exponent of Shakespeare in many languages.

At the first performance of Wagner's "Parsifal," in Bayreuth, a fortnight ago, the audience numbered 1,700 persons, representing many countries, tho English and American elements being large. It was not so brillinit an audience as that which witnessed the great performance of 1876. Not a single member of the Imperial family was present, and beyond tile ranks of German literature and art there were few eminent names. King Ludwig himself was absent, but his presence Is announced for 0110 of the later performances to be glben this month.

An American prima donna has made her debut at the opera in Paris, Miss Lillian Norton, who, under the name of Nordica, has obtained some success at Rome, Milan and St. Petersburg. In 1877 Miss Norton sang at the Crystal Palace, and during the last exhibition she sang at the Trocadero. She made her debut at the Opera in "Faust," and pleased the exceptionally cold audience of that house. Miss Norton acts well, sings well, and possesses a decidedly fine soprano voice. Some of the critics find in Miss Norton certain qualities of Nilsson—the Nilsson of fofiner days.

Liszt Is reported (by a correspondent of tho Alipn/inr.Bl of Vienna.) .is Jinvine oeon accompaniuu 10 .rjayreuui by two pupils of sensational gifts and acquirements.

He is said to be the son of a Paris railway director, effeminate in appearance, and to have a perfect alto voice of extraordinary quality, and a register that enables him to sing Handel's "Luseia Cii'io Pianga" a fourth lower than it Is written.

Mile. Aimee will not visit this country this season. Her engagement with Messrs. Brooks Dickson has been canceled. According to the contract, (lie "well known prima donna of opera bouffe was to appear hero 011 or about the lSlh of September in some of her favorite roles, a-nd a new one if required, and in the part of Cyprienne, in "Divorcons." After reviewing the situation on his return from Europe, Mr. Brooks thought it would not bo advisable for JIllc. Aimee to appear this season, nnd so advised lier. The result, was entire acquiescence in the views expressed by-him, and, as a conscquonce, Mile. Aimee will not appear in New York as announced. It is possible, however, that during tho season of lS83slio may be brought here to appear in around of tho characters with which her name aud her fame have been ldcntlflod but for the present, nt least, she remains at the ot-h«* side of the Atlantic.

He didn't get rich. In lijs own words: "By Got, I got enough of Zion, I rent me'a store for $100 a month and put in one big stock of goods. I sit myself behind the counter all day long and takes in seventy-five cents. No man can live from that and pay rent, too. The Gentiles want to rob the Mormons and the Mormons want to rob the Gentiles. They, fight all the time. There are 120,000 Mormons in the Territory and 20,000 Shackmasties. Just like so many cats and dogs. You bet, I don't go back to Zion."

A Heap of Ingenuity for Ten Cents. "Why don't you go West?" demanded the man, after telling a tramp that he had no small change, and could not respond to his appeal lor aid. "I've been out there." "Why didn't .you stav 'Cause I lost my all Si "What all did you have?" "Stranger," said the old man, as he leaned back and wiped his forehead, "I went to Illinois with $6,000 in cash. I went into raising frogs for the market. There was every show that I would clear $10,000 the first year, when a climax knocked me plumb-center all in one night.'" "WhatSvas it?" "I had 23,000 frogs on my farm, and every diirned juriier got upand jtimjied Over on another mian?s land."

A correspondent of the Augsburger Allgemeinc Zeltung states that the story of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" la founded upon an actual incident- occurring in Seville, which may be indeed the foundation of similar legends bearing tho name of Don Juan.^

The ancient Egyptians had several legends as to tho origin of music. Mercury is accredited with the invention of the lyre. A great inundation of the Nile had taken place and, when tho waters receded, an Immense tortoise was left on the bunks, and at last was dried up by the sun. The tendons, attached to the shell, remained, and became tightly drawn by tho expansion of the shell. Mercury, walking along the shore, struck his foot against it, the tendons resounded, and Mercury thus found a natural lyre.

Touching Account of a Society Woman whom Fnte Drove to the Bonrda tor a Livelihood but Could Not Ruin Her

Good Name—The Shady Side of Theatrical Life. Special Correspohiien^cif the ExpreSS?*"

NEW YOBK, August 24-r-Let me first refer yon to the introductory remarks contained in my preceding letter, concerning the "dark side of theatrical life,"" before I begin the truthful story of

A Broken-Hearted Wqman.

This is taken from no book, from no work of fiction, but from life, from the sad and constant reality of life.

She was an only daughter, and her father having large means, she was thoroughly educated, and especial attention was given to the cultivation of superior natural musical tastes and abilities. Exceedingly attractive and highly cultivated, she .was asocial favorite as a child and a young lady. The father died, and she was left to the care of brothers, who, it is alleged, defrauded her of her share of her father's estate. Ill-feelings and estrangements were engendered, and, to escape unpleasant domestic relations, sho married, when little more than a child, a man much older than herself, who had been attracted by her face and her accomplishments. He proved to be a brute, who drank to excess and abused her shamefully, although he supplied her liberally with money and lived handsomely. lier pride prevented lier from appealing to ner friends or disclosing her situation. Finally he died in a drunken spree and left her with nothing save her wardrobe and jewels, with which to support herself and two children. She had never been taught to work and did not know how to do anything but sing. She took a house and kept boarders and did it well, with the tastes and refinements of a lady, but unsuccessful, simply because she had never been taught house-keeping or economy. Sho tried to turn her musical education to account by singing in concerts. This was precarious and uncertain. She had an offer to go to New Orleans upon what seemed a desirable engagement. She went, to find that the contracting party had gone, no one knew whither. Worst of all, her baggage was stolen, with all her and her children's clothing, except vjhat they had on their backs. One of' the children was taken ill and died among strangers, and to get money for the burial she pawned apart of her jewelry. She came back to New York, and took cold, on the way, for want of sufficient clothing she was obliged to go into a hospital where she lay for six weeks, her child being cared for bv a charitable lady who had known the mother in her prosperous^ days and learned by accident her position. She came out of the hospital alone in the world and with a child to support as well as herself. She got a temporary engagement to sing at a theatre. For two months she earned.enougli barely to pay living expenses. The en gagement closed and no other opened.

It was at this time that the Man About Town was introduced by a tlieaitrical acquaintance. He was accustomed to find complaisant ladies behind the drop curtain. Her beauty and accomplishments attracted him.' and he offered to "befriend" her. She declined the offer. She was suffering for actual food but she had pride and modesty and self respect and would starve rather than sacrifice them. She found opportunity to join a company which was to bring out a new piece in three weeks, and daily during the three weeks, she went to rehearsals, in the hope of the pittance that was offered for the time the piece might be played. It is not the custom to pay anything for the period of rehearsal, except to artists of established renown. Lack of r—1 „,,ri 4- -u weather, coupled with standing for four or five hours a day, sent heragain to a sick bed. She ran in debt to her landlady, andboth her child and herself were without food. But for the child she would have committed suicide— provided she could have bought the laudanum. Without letting her know the source from which help came, the

Man About Town

sent lifer a physician and money to buy food and medicine. She used it because her love for her child would not let her die.

When she got better, he, still un known to her, got her a chance to join the ballet in the Opera, the manager sending for her and offering her the place. It was almost worse than death to her to accept it and to display herself in such position 011 the boards. But that gave food for her little girl, and what will not a mother do for her child? Her illness had weakened lier voice so she could not sing, and she could find nothing else to do. So she, a woman of immeasurable pride, became a ballet dancer, and did it with a loathing and a horror beyond words. It was then that I had seen her at the Academy.

Since then the operatic season had closed and with it the $10 a Week stopped. She had attracted attention, and men sought her with offers of comfort and "pleasure" if she would dispense with her reputation.

There was but one answer to all such propositions. She would die if she must, but, if SQ. she would die an honest woman, worthy of the respect of the child for whom she lived. She found opportunity to join a company that was fjoing "on the road" in a month, with a new play. For the preparatory, again she went to rehearsals without a cent of pay. The company opened at a distant point, did not prove successful, and disbanded, without a dollar being paid, oither fur services, board or means to get back. The child had been left in NewYork, and, of course, the mother got back to it somehow, as mothers always do. But want, anxiety and bodily ills had stricken her down again, and no long time could now elapse before the weary and faithful heart would bo at rest, after such struggles, temptations and bitter humiliations as few women can withstand for one-half of the time tii is poor woman had done.

Yet she was "only a ballet dancer." Well, thank God, heaven's gates will open quicker and wider for the balletdanper such as she, than for one-half of thoso who would haye considered themselves defiled by associating with her. down here. -If this woman, with the advantages of beauty, accomplishments, high musical ability and a natural aptitude for success, has worn out her life in the struggle and gone to her grave, a victim to theatrical trials and disappointments, what will be the chances for the mass of ignorant novices who know nothing of its profession save its glittering outside show, but who think they can easily mount to the top of the ladders.

Let them answer the conundrums themselves.

Stray leaflets.

Brooklyn is troubled by repeated and important burglaries, as much as four in the last week. In summer there exists a great number of vacant houses in the Fourth, Ninth and Tenth precincts, which contain some of the finest residences in the city. Each precinct has a detective who is supposed to go around every day to try the doors of vacant houses and see that they are all right. Unhappily these precincts are so extensive that the detectives are unable to try all the housesin one day. New York thieves are the supposed authors of nearly all these- burglaries. They think that they have a great field over there. In fact they have.

The Theory Advanced by a Medical Gentleman who has Made tho

Subject one of Much Study.,

-AND

Should be a Matter terest to all

That locating the trouble we commence on that organ on which not only the general health of the body-depends, but the lowers of htomach. Bowels, Brain, and in 'act we may Include the whole nervous system.

THE LIVER

When seriously diseased not only deranges tho vital functions of the 'body, but exercises powerful influence over the mind. The intimate connection existing between the liver and the brain, and consequently the great influence it exercises over the passions of mankind would naturally lead us to conclude that many unfortunate belngshavccommltted criminal acts from tho simple fact of a diseased state of the liver.

A Few of tlie Ways

A diseased liver manifests Itself are Indl-

ftowels,

estlon, Dyspepsia, a deranged state of tho loss of Appetite, dull aud heavy sensations ajter eating, pains In tho side and hack, (sometimes mistaken for rlieuinatlsn.) prickly sensation of th« skin, low spirits and a general feeling or weakness and debility, Ac. Of course we don't Infer that all persons troubled with these symptoms are

CRANKS,

But many have had their entire course in life marred by not taking care of the only liver they possessed. It Is the opinion of many compettnt to judge that it very large percentage of the diseases extant at the present time originate from a diseased liver, and there is nota prepaiation In the world that will act as quickly and cure a-j many different alUictlons arising from the liver" as

BURDOCK,

Blood Bitters,

Which the following testimonials will prove: Mr. Noah Bates, Elmira, N. Y., writes: "About four years ugo I had an attack of bllllous fever, and never fully recovered. My digestive organs were weakened, and I would be completely prostrated foiwlays. After using two bottles of your Burdock Clood Bitters the improvement was so visible that I was astonished. I can now, though 01 years of age, do a fair and reasonable day's work."

T. Walker, Cleveland, Ohio, writes: "For the last twelve months I nave suffered with lumbago and general debility. I commenced taking Burdock Blood Blttors about six weeks ago, and now have great pleasure In stating that have recovered my appetite, my complexion has grown ruddy, and 1 feel better altogether."

B. Turner, Rochestor, N. Y., writes:— have been for over a year subject to •erious disorder of the kidneys, and often unable to attend to business I proeured your Burdock Blood Bitters, and was relieved before half a bottle was used. Ilntend io continue, as 1 feel contldent that they will entirely cure me."

E. AsenKli Hall, Binghampton, N. Y. writes: "11 sutlered for several months witl) a dull pain through my left lung and shoulders. I lost my spirits, appetite and color, and could with dlllculty keep up all day. My mother procured some Burdock Blood Bitters I took them as directed, and have felt no pain since the llrst week after using them, aud am now quite well."

F. A. Scratch, druggist, Hutliven, Ontario, writes: "I have the greatest confidence in your "Burdock Blood Bitters." In one case with which 1 am personally acquainted their success was almost Incredible. One lady t»id me that half a bottle did tier more good than hundreds of dollars worth of medicine she had previously taken."

Mrs. Ira Ilulholland, Albany, N. Y.J writes: "For several years 1 have suffered from oft-recurring bilious headaclio. constipation, dyspepsia, and complaints peculiar to my sox. Since using your Burdock Blood Betters I am entirely relieved."

J. M. Might, S3-rac11.se, N. Y., writes: "When tfrst commenced using Burdock Blood Bitters I was troubled with fluttering and palpitation of the heart. I felt weak and languid, with a numbness of the limbs since using, my heart lias not troubled me and the numb sensation Is all gone."

R. Gibbs, of Buflalo, New York writes: "Hearing your Huniocj Blood Biters favorably spoken of, 1 w.-is induced to watch their clfccts, and find that in chronic diseases of the blood, liver and kidneys, your bitters have been signally niafked with.success.
