THE THREATENED STRIKE. Everything Quiet on the Surface and Both Sides Moving Cautiously. Pears that the Locomotive Engineers May Be Involved—A Conference of Knights To Be Held in New York. St. Louis, Aug. 23.—Railroad affairs here remain practically unchanged. Xo direct issue has yet been made, and matters, on the surface at least, are quiet. The Knights of Labor in the Missouri Pacific shops will not touch Wabash rolling stock, and there is no disposition on the part of the Missouri Pacific officials to require them to do so. Yesterday the Bridge Company undertook to handle Wabash engines and prepare them for work, but as soon as it was discovered that nearly all the employes of that company were Knights of Labor, Superintendent Dickenson withdrew his orders, and Wabash engines now receive what attention they require at the round-houses of that company In North St Louis and in East St. Louis. In lome cases engines have been turned andcieaned by non union men in the Missouri Pacific roundhouse, but a request that no more should be sent there has been complied with, and thus the opportunity for an issue has been avoided. 60 far as repairs are concerned, the Wabash company can do light work here and in East St. Louis, and all important repairs can Ftill be done at Moberly, Mo., Springfield and Decatur, 111., and other points where the shops %re run by non-union men. The chief apprehenBion now is that the executive committee will Issue another order directing all knights to iefrain from handling, or in any way moving any Wabash freight. If that is done, it is feared that the locomotive engineers will necessarily bo involved, and that real trouble will result. The report that the •men at Stanberry, Mo., have renewed work is jonfirmed, but it is stated they returned under i misapprehension of the situation, .and that they will all go out again as soon as they are better informed. A report comes from Armonrdale that the St. Louis order boycotting the Wabash cars went into effect there to-aay in the Union Pacific yards at that point, and no switching of Wabash cars has since been done. The Wabash repair-, ing is done in the Union Pacific shops. The full effect of the order cannot be determined before to-morrow. The yard master in the Wabash freight yards states that there are but two Knights of Labor in their yard. These two, who were foremen, quit work to-day, and their places will be supplied at once. A dispatch from Meridian, Miss., says: “It is currently reported that the Knights of Labor have ordered a strike at the shops of the Queen & Crescent railroad, to take effect this midnight. It is impossible to-night to verify this report, but it is generally believed that at least a portion of the force is determined to work no longer. It is also said that engineers enough will quit work to render it impossible for their trains to go out to night.” A telegram from Washington. D. C., reports that the executive board of the Knights of Labor held another meeting to day, lasting from 11a. M. tod r. M.. to consider the Wabash railroad difficulty. Messrs. Turner ar.d Hayes, of the board, left for New York to-night, and will be followed by Grand Master Workman Powderly and the other members of the board tomorrow, to hold a conference with prominent members of the order in that city on the subject. Powderly and Turner on tlie Situation. Wiudiingtou S peri a 1 to St. Louis Gi be-Democrat. Messrs. T. V. Powderly, of Scranton, l’a.: Frederick Turner, of Philadelphia: Joseph If. Buchanan, of Denver, Col.; John W. Hays, of New Brunswick, N. J., and Wm. 11. Bailey, of Shawnee, 0., general executive committee of the Knights of Labor, aro here. Your correspondent obtained an interview with Mr. Powderly, who, besides being chairman of the executive sommittee, is general master workman of the Knights of Labor. The other four members of the committee were with him, and occasionally Sut in a remark assenting to and indorsing what lr. Powderly said. “Do you expect to meet a delegation of St Louis knights here, Mr. Powderly?” inquired the Globe Democrat’s representative. “No, sir, ’he replied, “that is a mistake, and it no doubt originated in this wav: My brethren here of the executive committee have just been to St. Louis to look into the situation there, and from St. Louis they came on to Washington, where I joined them. I was prevented by illness from accompanying them to St. Louis. They gave out that they were coming on to Washington, and from that I suppose the impression arose that a St. Louis delegation was coming here. We are not here to meet anybody. Tomorrow we go to New York to make another effort to meet the officials of the Wabash railroad. ” “Have you any appointment with them?” “No, indeed. They have run away from us so /ar, but we intend to meet them if it takes all summer. We want to talk to them, man to man, about the trouble, ami settle fairly. Now, it has been said that there is a strike on the Wabash road. That is not true. There was no necessity for this trouble. There is none now. It was all brought about for stock jobbing purposes by .Jay Gould. He is trying to scare the English bondholders and force them to sell out by making it appear that a big strikt which may tuiu the railroad property is threatened. If we can meet Mr. Talmaee or the parties interested most deeply in the success of the road we can satisfy him, unless he is acting under the orders of Gould and doesn’t want to be satisfied, that the Knights of Labor do not want any trouble. They want work, and it is not their fault that any trouble exists now.” “No, sir; it is not,” spoke up Mr. Turner, secretary and ireasurer of the organization. “It lias been said that this is a strike of the Knights of Labor. This is not true. Our people were locked out. Sixteen hundred of our men were locked out by the Wabash management, in violation of the agreement made last March. That agreement was a compromise in which it was stipulated that if men were not needed they were to be laid off after three days’ notice, and that no other men should be taken in their places, but that the old men were to be restored to work as soon as there should be work for them. Our men were locked out, without any notice, on June 16, and on June 18 the management began to put new men in their places. They offered to take our men back if they would abandon the Knights of Labor.” “What did your board do in St. Louis, Mr. Turner/’' was asked. “We first endeavored,” he replied, “to see Mr. Tahnage, manager of the Wabash road. We called at his office, and his secretary informed us that he was out of the city. He promised to ascertain his whereabouts, and at 4 o’clock that afternoon told us that lie had gone East. We discovered, no matter how. that he was in Hannibal. W e communicated with him, and received A reply from Decatur, in which Mr. Talmage declared that if there had been a lockout lie did not know of it. and had not ordered it. Now, we have got possession of some of his official letters which disprove that statement. In one of them he says that he means first to break up the Knights of Labor, and that next he means to turn his attention to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Now, that shows how he feels, to say nothing of his continued evasion of ns.” “Did your board take any official action in St. Louis. Mr. Turner?” “Only this: We issued an order that none of the rolling stock of the Wabash should be cleaned or repaired by our men on other lines, and also that our men of other lines should not handle the freight of the Wabash.” “Right there,” suggested Mr. Powderly, “I want to call your attention to a point and to make a prediction. In order to properly pre serve locomotives and keep them in safe running condition it is necessary to clean them at least every three days. Now, they have been running engines on the Wabash road for eighteen days without cleaning. Some day there will be *n ejJosiou, and then it will he charged that the heights of Labor are blowing up locomotives

with dynamite. Now about the strike.” continued Mr. Powderly. “Our men have not struck. They do not want a strike, but if the Wabash managers insist that our orders shall be violated, if they try to force our men on the Missouri Pacific or any of the other lines of the Wabash to clean or repair roilinestock of the Wabash, a general staike will bo ordered; and it will be such a one as has never been seen. It rests entirely with them to determine whether there shall be a strike or not.” In conclusion, the members of the board reiterated the declaration that they were not here to meet any delegation of knights from St. Louis of elsewhere, and that their sole purpose now is to follow up Mr. Tannage and the other authorities of the Wabash, with the view of amicably settling the difficulty which exists. Your representative remarked to Mr. Powderly that the Democrats of Pennsylvania were endeavoring to arrange a plan to nominate him for State Treasurer. “You may say,” he said with emphasis, “that they can’t do it. 1 am not a candidate, and would not accept the nomination under any circumstances.” SYMPATHY FOR KEILEY. Bishop Keane Writes of His “Shameful Persecution” by Partisan Critics. I From Onr Second Edition of Sunday. 1 Richmond, Va., Aug. 22.—Right Rev. Bishop John J. Keane, of the diocese of Richmond, recently w rote a letter to Hon. A. M. Keiley in relation to what he terms the “shameful persecution” that gentleman is suffering. The letter is written from St. Paul, Minn., the Bishop being at present in the far west conducting a series of spiritual retreats for the clergy. The Bishop says: “I allude to the treatment inflicted on you as an insult, not only to one of the most highly and deservedly-esteemed Catholics of the diocese of Richmond and one of the most honored citizens of Virginia, but, through him, to all his fellowCatholics and fellow citizens in this country, and to the Holy Father Jiiroselr'. But in this insult to you, I can see no humiliation save to those who have offered it. It was an honor to be unwelcome by a government whose whole course has beeu marked by injustice and irreligion, and the government of Austria having, by its recent act. made itself the abettor of the guilt and partner in the shame, has thereby made itself incapable of humiliating you. While I have regretted the attacks made upon you by part of the daily press, still that need not concern us much, as nothing better was to be expected from such partisan and interested sources. But I have especially deplored the criticisms passed upon you by some Catholic scribblers. who, in theirzeal toappearcioverand ultraorthodox, have overlooked the fact that the cause for which you were suffering was the refu tation as well as the condemnation and shame of their strictures. But it is a comfort to know that the utterances of these wholly unauthorized critics have absolutely no weight beyond the infinitesimal weight of the individuals themselves. lam confident that all Catholics whose opinion you would esteem, honor you for the persecution you have suffered for truth and justice’s sake. Your position is, indeed, an embarrassing one, with a family to provide for and your business transferred to others, but surely it cannot be that our government, whose well meant action has placed you in this embarrassment, will leave you in it, or fail to provide that you be in no way the loser.” Keiley Will Soon Return. Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—Mr. Martin I. G. Griffin, secretary’ of the Irish Catholic Beneficial Union, is in receipt of a letter from A. M. Keiley* President Cleveland's unlucky ministerial appointee, dated at Paris, in which he stated that he was about returningto the United States, and would ho present at the meeting of the union in Brooklyn in September. He is expected on this side in a few days. DAILY WEATHER lIULLKTIN. Indications.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1885.

TIIE FIELD OF LITERATURE. Aulnay Tower. This new story, by the author of “Guenn.” “One Summer,” etc. , Blanche Willis Howard, while net possessing the action of those preceding it, is forceful and engaging. Auinay Tower is the spire of the chapel of tho chateau of tho Marquis de Montauban, in tho environs of Paris. The time of the story is at the boginning of and during the siege of Paris by the Prussians, in 1870. The heroine of the story, the Countess de Vallauris, is a beautiful but haughty young widow, whose life has been shadowed by an unhappy alliance with a titled old man whom she had detested while living and did not mourn for dead. Her uncle, the Marquis, is a dignified and proud man, entering upon his second childhood, and is in a measure practiced upon by his spiritual adviser, the Abbe de Navaiiles, who secretly signals to the besieged until detected and slain in the act. The Countess meets her “fate” among the detested invaders in the person of a gallant young officer, Lieutenant Von Nordenfells. Their wooing, which is stately and formal, is conducted in the midst of the excitement incident to the siege, and he is not successful until he falls severely wounded in the assault that effected the surrender of the city. The Countess is a charming woman, womanly and lovely, despite the bitter experience as the wife of an unsympathetic, and the even more bitter feeling toward the enemies of France. Manette, her black-eyed maid, is a brilliant bit of warm hearted humanity, desperately in love with the fun of innocent flirting, and for “situa’tions” and “contrasts.” The descriptive powers of the author aro excellent, and her characters are thoroughly life-like. The only possible criticism that can be made is that she is a trifle more tedious than her friends would like, especially after having read her lively stories that preceded this one. Ticknor & Cos., Boston; Tho Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. Appleton’s Annual Cyclopedia. The annual volume of Appleton’s Cyclopedia, the recognized standard in America, is a complete history of the world for the past year. In all that goes to make up history, in all the coveries by travelers and scientists, and in every matter of current interest it presents a carefully prepared reflex of the world. The attention is first attracted by the fine steel portraits of President Cleveland, General “Chinese” Gordon and King Humbert. These are supplemented by innumerable illustrations of the various topics treated. The scientist will bo delighted with the articles of microscopy, electricity, metallurgy, engineering, new drugs, chemistry, astronomical phenomena and progress, archaeological discoveries, sanitary science and physiology. The politician will find a very comprehensive compendium of last year’s very important political events, nominating conventions, elections, work in Congress, national finances, etc. Churchmen will find valuable statis tics of their several denominations. Lovers of contemporaneous history will find the past year’s important events carefully and accurately presented, and in such shape as to be readily accessible. Among the articles on topics of general interest not necessarily connected with the year 1884, are one on bicycles, one on music—tho “tonic sol-fa method,” in use in England, another on literature, on decorative art in America, on tho catamaran and kindred boats, and so on. No library is complete without this indispensable work. It is without a peer. Poor Boys Who Became Famous. Thos. Y. Crowell 6c Cos., New York, have issued in fine form this book for ambitious boys by Sarah*K. Bolton. Its purpose is to show, from the lives df many well-known public men, that, no matter of how humble origin, how poor and friendless, a boy always has a chance to succeed and to obtain honor, if not wide spread fame. Mrs. Bolton has selected such characters as George Peabody, Henry Bessemer, Garibaldi, Gambetta, General Sheridan, Lincoln, ami like men who have come up out of obscurity to tho highest places in the world. The book is illustrated with numerous poatraits. New Books. The Lady with the Rubies. A Novel. From the German of E. Marlitt. Translated by Mrs. A. L. Wister. J. B.

Harper & Brothers have added tho following to their “Handy Series:” “Cut by the County, by M. E. Braddon; “Mrs. Keith’s Crime: a Novel.” and “Souvenirs of Some Continents,” by Archibald Forbes, LL I). The Franklin-square Library, Harper & Brothers, has been added to as follows: “Lewis Arundel, or the Railroad of Life,” by Frank E. Sn.edley: “A Coquette’s Conquest,” by Basii; “The Waters of Hercules,” by E. D. Gerrard. The Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company has outdone itself in the way of artistic advertising, this time in the shape of an elegant brochure, giving all the effect of water colors. The illus trations on every pace are worthy of a Dore or Cruikshank, and each is a study of itself. It is useless to attempt a detailed description, it would require too much space. The public cau individually receive a copy bv forwarding address with stamp to the president and general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph company, Mr. IX H. Bates, New York. September Magazines. The Atlantic for September opens with anew story by Henry James, called “The Princess Casaraassima. ’ If any other writer than Dr. Holmes had evolved the very remarkable tale which he tells in the-’New Portfolio,” it would receive 1 with amusement and the circumstances narrated regarded as too preposterous even for fiction; but as it is, tho reader of the curious pathological study is interested in it and solicitous tor tho outcome. W. D. Howells contributes a paper called the “Laureate of Death,” by whom is meant t lie Italian poet, Giacomo Leopardi. Charles Dudley Warner concludes his “On Horseback’’ sketches, and Horace E. Scudder begins a series of papers on “Childhood in English Literature and Art.” The book reviews, of which this magazine makes a special feature, are good as usual. Harper for September contains a paper on “Labrador,” by C. H. Farnhara; “The House of Murray,” by F. Espinasse; “Impressions of the South,” by Charles Dudley Warner; “The Earliest Settlement in Ohio,” by Alfred Mat-

thews; “Reminiscences of General Grant,” by General Horace Porter. The department of fiction is filled by Constance Fenimore Woolson, Julian Hawthorne, W. D. Howells and Mary E. Wilkins. Lippincott for September contains “A Hoosier Idyl, by Louise Coffin Jones, a name well known to readers of the Journal as a former contributor. F. C. Baylor's very intertaining story, “On This Side," is brought to a conclusion this month. Other articles are “The Truth About Dogs,” by F. N. Zabriskie; “Muster Day in New England,” “Roses of Yesterday and To day,” “A Chapter of Mystery,’ and several short stories. Demoreet's Magazine is much more than a mere fashion book, “fashions” being only one of its specialties. Much attention is given to the advancement of women in business, and every new avenue of employment which is opened to them is chronicled by Demorest without delay. All the suggestions in this line made by the editor, Mrs. Croly (Jenuie June), aro sure to he practical and sensible. Good Housekeeping sustains the promise o: ! its first issues. All that women can learn of the science of housekeeping from books is taught Jin its pages, and the discussions on many topics can but be instructive even to the most experienced matrons.

THE LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION. A Hurried Glance at What Is There To Be Seen—The Wonderful Foreign Exhibits. Correspondence of tl e Indianapolis Journal. Louisville, Aug. 21.—The Southern Exposition opened Aug. 15, with the usual pomp and ceremony, and now invites the attention and presence of all lovers of progress and improvement. The first thing that attracts the attention of the visitor is the utter incompleteness of the thing, the incessant hammering and sawing of the workmen as they labor in their efforts to get things in readiness, and last, but not least, the lack of visitors. Several exhibitors expressed great dissatisfaction with the management for keeping the admission fee at fifty cents in the present condition of tho exposition, and in the face of hard times; they say if half the amount were charged, more money would be made, for then tho Louisville people themselves would attend, while now they depend on outsiders. But it is too early yet to even surmise what the attendance is likely to be. Even in its present condition the exposition is well worth a visit, and in a couple of weeks it will be much better. It is especially interesting in its foreign exhibits, most of which came from the world’s exposition at New Orleans. At the right of tho main entrance we pass some Turkish fakirs with a booth full of pipes, caps, jewelry and trinkets, which they very zealously entreat us to buy. Passing numerous exhibits of the Louisville merchants, we come to the California exhibit, under the auspices of the Southern Pacific railroad. Here is a cube, 12 3 10 feet in dimensions, covered with tin-foil, which represents the silver output of her mines, or a value of $20,000,000, and if all her gold were formed into a solid cube, each of its sides would measure fourteen and three eighths feet, ora value of $1,160,000,000. Hero are specimens of her woods (what California exhibit is complete without them?), a section of the sequoia gigantic or big tree eighteen feet in diameter which was taken from the tree ninety-six feet from the base. The tree was 308 feet high and estimated to be 3.700 years old: five men worked twenty-five days in felling it. Here is a spoeies of fir which, for the first few years of its growth, is round like ordinary, trees, but soon gradually begins to “square" itself, and in the specimen shown the annual rings are as straight and square as if drawn by man. This section of a tree eighteen inches in diameter is an elderbery bush with the pith punched out; it is a trifle heavy though for a pop-gun. Here is a model of a header and thresher with a sickle from sixteen to twenty feet long; it is said twenty mules and four men will cut and thresh forty acres in one day. And here is the shovel with which Leland Stanford, then California’s Governor, cast tho first earth of the Central Pacific railroad, Jan. 8, 1803. It bears the stamp “Mark Hopkins, Cast Steel,” and in no way differs from the thousands of others he made, and, it seems, was thrown aside after the ceremonies, until “Uncle Mark” picked it up, saying: “We’ll take care of this; maybe some day we’ll need it.” Here we see silk worms raised by California women, the cocoon?, the thread and the manufactured silk goods all done in the United States. Here are fruits, canned, preserved, dried, green, and every way imaginable, together with grain, garden seeds, honey, wines and numberless other products of the land of gold. But let us visit tiie .Sandwich Islands while our eyes are turned toward the Occident, This exhibit is under the management of Hon. J. Matt Smith, and in charge of Mr. George Allen, who kindly furnishes you with all the information in his power regarding this sirange people. Tiie principal articles shown are drugs and medicinal plants, perfumery, straw hats, school books in their own language, sheet-music written by Hawaiian authors with the words in English, German and Hawaiian; kapa, a kind of cloth resembling Japanese paper, made by hand from the fibers of a plant called wauke; here are pictures of King Kalakaua, his wife, sisters and other members of the royal family, and a painting by Jules Tavernier representing the crater of the volcano Ivilauea; fine coffees and sugars, also a feather necklace made from the os-bird; it is a very rare article, as only two feather can be used from a single bird, one beiDg obtained from under each wing. The Mexican exhibit is under the supervision of Capt. Louis Siliceo, and is entirely a private enterprise. He petitioned his government to assist him to make a creditable showing of tho country’s progress at New Orleans, but, receiving no aid, he collected specimens and made the exhibit at his own expense. Here are fine specimens of corn, and a picture showing horsemen riding through a Mexican cornfield; the stalks look to be ten feet high. I asked him the average yield per acre, but he could not give it without an arithmetical calculation. Wheat, rye, barley, coffee, and cotton s, s seven feet high, containing 160 to 200 bolls; Mexican fruits of endless variety in wax; Indian pottery, costumes, toys, silk, wool and cotton, raw and manufactured, all tastefully arranged and under the charge of Mexican citizens who take great pains to satisfy the visitors’ curiosity. Jerusalem and the Holy Land seem omnipresent, from the number of booths filled with olive-wood crucifixes, boxes, ornaments, ancient and modern jewelry. China brings her dishes, pottery, silks, fans, bronze, and fancy wooden figures. Here is a Chinese residence with bamboo fence, tea plants growing in the yard, and Chinamen inside who give to the thirsty visitor hot or ice tea, free of charge, with the injunction to buy only Pe-Kong tea in the future. M. Laruello, of the French exhibit, shows

some fine jewelry, French flowers, 6hells, wall paper and fancy articles. Italy shows her fine works, conch shell ami filieree jewelry, jewelry made from the lava of Mt. Vesuvius, ancient Syrian, Arabian and Egyptian jewelry, olive wood ornaments. Austria shows meerschaum and emery goods, French flowers. Hungary with her glassware, and Russia, too, has quite a showing, coming to the front with woodenware, fine linen, woolen, cotton and leather goods, gold and silver quartz, beet sugar, loaf and granulated. mineral oils, perfumes, Russian boots, gloves, sleighs, sledges, wagons and running droskas. all under the management of a Yankee born and bred, C. G. Hoffman, but who has lived a greater part of his live in Russia. Os the home exhibit we will not speak of the art or machinery departments, both of which are very good, but as yet incomplete. Here the visitor can see silk handkerchiefs woven, but for the life of him he can’t tell how it is done. The J. <fc P. Coats Spool "Cotton Company have erected a representation of the "old stone mill” at Newport, R. 1., made famous in Longfellow's “Skeleton in Armor.’’ The tower contains 80,204 spools of thread, showing 158 different shades of color, and is supported by eight pillars: they exhibit over 100,000 spools of thread in different forms. Near it is Clark’s O. N. T. thread mill, showing how their thread is made. Hero is a “scene in the oil regions,” which makes one feel likshe had suddenly been transported into central Pennsylvania. It is a mountain of earth, and a valley with a stream of water dashing over the rocks, and a dozen mmature engines are busily pumping a black fluid apparently out of the earth into tanks from which it is pumped into lesser tanks, and thence transported to the railroad. Hereis the American Patent Association with an endless variety of models, of which some are* wise and some are otherwise. But see it all we cannot to day, so let us find a seat in the auditorium while Damrosch’s orchestra of forty-two pieces render some of their choice music. It is presided over by J. Walter Dainrosch. of New York, a young man apparently not over twenty-three years old, but he controls and directs his men in a manner not surpassed even by Theodore Thomas, himself. He is the son of his great father in genius as well as in flesh. T. J. c. FROM THE MALARIAL REGIONS OF ARKANSAS. “Yes, I did. That I did. And I’d do it again, too. And I’m glad I did it.” These were the words of Mr. B. Stokely. the well-known furniture dealer ol' 04 North Illinois street, spoken to the writer one hot .June day as we were standing in the door of Mr. Stokeley’s store. The question which had been asked Mr. Stokely was as to his having taken a certain something which had been found to have the power of driving out the effects of malaria. Let Mr. Stokely tell his own story. “It was down on the Arkansas flats that I got malarial fever. It wasn’t the regular chills and fever that shakes a man most to pieces. But it was that slow kind of dumb ague, or something like that that makes a man feel as if he would sell for the price of the buttons on his clothes. I went down there to buy walnut lumber, and l got this malaria thrown in without any extra charge. On, you ought to have seen me. 1 don’t look it now, I know. But I was as weak as seven old bundles of rags. My knees creaked like rusty hfriees, and I had the miserables generally. Never felt so good-for-nothing in ail my life. Those low lands of Arkansas are the worst malarial regions of the whole country. I've been there now enough to know it myself without asking anybody, too. It was only a year and a half ago that I was at my worst. Somehow or other I came to hear of this Brown’s Iron Bitters. Did I take if? Why, yes, l did. That I did. And I'd do it again, too. And I’m glad I did it. Yes, sir; you may set me down as a friend to Brown’s Iron Bitters, and a believer in it for all time. “When I came back from Arkansas it was just a little more than I could do to carry on this business, feeling tha way I did. Why, I felt as if I was all tumbling to pieces, so 1 did. Well, two or three bottles of these bitters began to fix me up. I felt as if my rusty joints had been creased somehow. It wasn't such trouble for me to sit down and get up as it had been. I began to enjoy my food more than I had. The dull, slow fever and thR feeling of depression which came along with it were kind o’ lifted off and up. I was altogether anew man. I tell you it was a very happy experience for me. I don’t say that two or three bottles did the whole work. Guess it must have taken near a dozen. But 1 stuck to it right through, for I felt this doing mo good, and I meant to see it through clear to the end.” “You seem to be pretty well now, Mr. Stokely.” “I’m more than pretty well. I'm ght down well; as well as I ever was in my life. f don't know where I'd have been, though, if I hadn't taken this Brown's Iron Bitters. What is it, anyhow, the iron or what, that knocks out this malaria, so? Well. I don’t know; and 1 don't care, so long as it does the work. There is my (laughter, too. She was married last March. She was pale and poorly, and I gave her some of this same Iron Bitters. Phew! How it built her up! She's as well and hearty now as anybody need want to bo. And so I say now and forever, hurrah for Brown’s Iron Bitters!” There is nothing half-hearted in Mr. Stokely’s commendation of Brown’s Iron Bitters. Nor was there any half way business about his cure. Nothing more thorough or hearty could be desired. Can anybody doubt tho real efficacy of Brown’s Iron Bitters? It is good not only for malarial fevers and liver complaints, but for dyspepsia, nervousness, sick headache, piles, whoopingcough. kidney complaints, debility and many other ailments of men. women and children.
