The Bostcnlans received a right royal reception at English's Opera House last night, when they presented their opera The Smugglers of Badayez" for the first time In this city. Almost every seat In the house was occupied, and there wa3 a considerable standing contingent. The beauty, wealth and fashion of Indianapolis predominated, making a survey of the audience well-nigh as pleasing as the spectacle presented, by the elaborately decorated stage, filled with handsomely costumed men and women. "The Smugglers" scored a distinct . triumph at its Initial presentation. At times the encores threatened to break the continuity of the piece. Few operas heard here have contained as many pleasing songs certainly no one has exploited more. All of the principal voices were given, ample opportunity to display their powers. Until the third act Helen Bertram, with her clear, strong, sympathetic soprano, plainly held the honors among the female prima donnas of the organization. However, Miss Van Dresser's wonderful rendition of the appeal song. In which she besoyght the life of her lover, won recognition fully equal to that accorded Miss Bertram. Miss Van Dresser has supplanted the great contralto, Jessie Bartlett Davis, and, while It cannot be said that she is in all things Mrs. Davis's equal, it Is certainly true that she is a most delightful substitute. What her voice lacks in range and power It atones for in added sweetness and sympathy. There Is a noticeably fine contralto In the chorus, belonging to a flower girl who Is impersonated by Kdlth Ilendee, also a Hoosier product. Miss ilendee had a better opportunity and made a greater Impression last season with Jeff De Angells In "The Jolly Musketeers." Among the male voices the marvelous basso of John Dunsmere was, perhaps, the most prominent. His song in the second act, "A Soldier's Life Is One of Strife." was one of the hits of the production. Frank Ilushworth holds the position of leading tenor by clear, undisputed title, which he again demonstrated most satisfactorily in the several numbers he rendered last night. William II. McDonald also possesses an excellent tenor voice, which he used with great effect. Except In the third act the comedy element Is so slender as to cause wonder that the piece should be termed a comic Instead of rather a lytic opera. The small amount of fun Is of the highest class, however, and handled In a masterly .manner by the inimitable Henry Clay Barnabee, assisted by W. H. Fitzgerald and George B. Frothlngham. Barnabee is a wonderful man. To hearhls clear, unwavering baritone and watch his agile movements one would never suspect him of being, at most, over forty. Yet it is said he is nearing the scriptural limit. His reception last night was as spontaneous and as cordial as any he ever received in his palmiest days. When he sang the excruciatingly funny song, "It was One of My Grandfather's Jokes," with Its appropriate allusions to the SpanishAmerican war, he was encored until forced to appear and say: "You must excuse u, as we have no more verses." "The Smugglers" Is materially assisted by a wellirilled chorus of good male and female .voices, and also by a fine orchestra, under the able leadership of 8. I Studley. Two more opportunities are afforded of hearing the Bostonians. At the matinee this afternoon they will produce "Rob Koy," an exceedingly tuneful opera, and tonight "The Serenade." always a favorite in Ir.dianapolls, will be given by urgent request. Veteran Actor Retires. BALTIMORE. Dec S.-The drop of the curtain to-night at the Lyceum Theater will signalize the permanent retirement from the stage of John W. Albaugh, s, the veteran actor-manager. He has been connected with the stage as an actor or manager for forty years. 1'aderewskl Hidden from Women. New York Special. Ignace Paderewskl, guarded by the entertainment committee, which feared a panic If his presence became known, attended the 'ladies' day" of tho Transportation Club at the Manhattan Hotel Thursday afternoon, a"d lunched in a dark corner of the billiard room, while more than GOO men and women pushed and crowded in the two large rooms, through which rang echoes of the sweet strains of a dainty musical programme. Women pushed and struggled to get a nearer glimpse of the artist on the programme. Ignorant of the presence of a musical idol than whom none could have commanded a more unquestioning adulation. Said a member of the entertainment committee: "Do you know that man sitting alone over there in the corner? Well for goodness sake, don't give it away. We don t want a panic among the women." So I aderewski 4at alone throughout the afternoon, the committee fearful lest some one should discover the musical idol, satisfying himself with the companionship of members of the club, wno were nearly as rsslduous in their Intentions as would have been the women had some one "given it away." Notes of the Stage. Mclntlre and Heath, who are a whole show of themselves, will be at the Park all next week with an excellent company of vaudeville entertainers. The excellence of the olio of the "Gay Masqueraders" is drawing good crowds to the Empire Theater. The sensational acrobatic act of Carlos and Vouletti and the rosing of Mhs IJeasi Stanton are among the special features. Performances this afternoon and evening. Manager Miller, of English's Opera House; received a telegram last night from the manager of Miss Maude Adams, who 1 starring In "The Little Minister" this reason. The message made a change in ills Adams'i dates at English's Christmas week. She is now booked to appear Dec. 23 and SO, with a matinee Saturday, the 30th. r The last matinee of "The Jilt" will be given this afternoon. The stock company has never been seen to better advantage In any production than this one of Iiouelcault'w strongest plays. It Is staged with extra ecenic beauty, costumed with ele

gance and the line are all delivered in ft way to bring out their literary finish and dramatic power. As soon as John Drew makes a euccejs in a play for one season, Otis Skinner takes up the piece and usually repeats Mr. Drew's performance the following season. It 1?, therefore, small wonder that one should get the two men and their plays mixed up. Mr. Skinner is booked to appear at English's the first three days of Christmas week in "The Liars," which was introduced to Indianapolis theatergoers by Mr. Drew last season. There will be a matinee Monday afternoon, Dec. 23. Such an exhibition of "palming" as is being given by Leroy, the wonderful magician with the "Great Triple Alliance," at tho Park, has never before been seen In Indianapolis. With bare hands uplifted, and sleeves rolled back to a point on his arms almost touching the elbows, this dexterous individual materializes billiard balU and playing cards In a manner that is inclined to make one believe In the occult. Kellar says Leroy has no equal in the art of "palming," which is one of the most picturesque of all feats of prestidigitation. Only two more chances to see Leroy, Fox and Powell, with their clever vaudeville assistants, this afternoon and to-night at the Park. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

CLOSE OF CONFERENCE

WILLIAM niDLCY FOl'LKC TALKS OX WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. An Interesting Adtlrew 1- Sirs. C'ntt The Afternoon Session An Indiana Society Formed. A fair-sized audience was in attendance last night at the last meeting of the National Suffrage Association, held In Plymouth Church. A great many present were disappointed on account of the nonappearance of Rev. J. Cumming Smith, who was on the programme for a paper on the "Power of Conservatism." Dr. Smith hae been suffering from a severe cold for several days, and despite his wishes in the matter was unavoidably absent. He is a very strong advocate of equal suffrage. The first address of the evening was by William Dudley Foulke, who said in part "Miss Anthony Is a woman who is a' living Illustration of the fact that a good woman can go anywhere and do anything. A woman's sphere is the most eccentrically shaped sphere that could be Imagined; it is susceptible of many changes, for it is governed by convention rather than by reason. We, in times gone by, have looked with horror on the innovations of the past In this sphere of woman, and yet it has grown wider and wider until at tho present day we And them entering the professions on equal terms with the men. Wc have our woman doctor and our woman lawyer; in fact, wc find woman in every sphere except that which concerns legal enactments. "Woman's sphere Is as high as the heavens, and the higher and greater her sphere the greater is her development. The antiimperialists say that our government derives its powers from the consent of the governed, and they use this as an argument against our present attitude in the Philippines. If we are to ta tutlon literally, we would find it to be wanting in many respects. Jefferson did not mean that our government was to depend upon the consent of every one of us, but the consent of the bulk or greater part of us In tho political entity the majority must rule. The words must be construed according to their spirit. It is not mor.illy possible that all should vote; the chilci of five, although physically able to hold the ballot In his hand, is not morally capable of voting, and the same can be said of the Idiot. ARE BUT CHILDREN. "The people of the Philippines are but children and at present are not able to vote and govern themselves because they know nothing of the responsibility of a republican government. But we cannot say that this is true of our wives, mothers and sisters for they have an intelligence equal to our own. The Constitution proscribes the vote of the idiot, yet in our own State idiots have cast their votes on more than one occasion, and it strikes me as rather strange that the people of Indiana would rather see them vote than our own Intelligent women. It has oeen said that the rights of women were Identical with those of the men and that the vote of the man was the expression of both, but this is untrue, for they have separate rights and interests. It is admitted that the woman can successfully administer the affairs of home, and I want to say that if that Is so she can successfully administer the affairs of the government. There are a great many people who are accusing our President of tyranny because of his present attitude toward the people of the Philippine islands, and they maintain that under the Constitution the people of the Islands should be entitled to govern themselves, and yet these same people have never given a thought for a construction of the Constitution that would grant our women the right of suffrage." Mr. Foulke was followed by Mrs. Chapman Catt, who addressed the meeting on the subject of "A T.ue Democracy." She said In part: "If the war with Spain and the Filipinos results in nothing more than a discussion of our rights under the Constitution wa shall have been fully repaid. The American women have made a great stride forward since the time when a woman could not sit down and eat with her own husband. They are now entering every profession and there are eighteen different denominations of churches in which a woman can be ordained as a minister and have the power to administer the sacrament to her own husband. THE CHIEF BARRIER. "The chief barrier in the way of woman's suffrage Is the remarkable growth of skepticism In the last few years. We have reached the time when men say women should have as much right to vote as themselves, but they very much doubt the right of suffrage for the men. They claim that our form of government Is a failure; that on account of the Immigration that we receive In this country to-day, which is composed for the most part of the slums of Europe, our right of suffrage should be restricted and not extended. Instead of our immigrants coming from the farms and the factories, they are coming from the almshouses, and therefore it is gradually becoming a question as to which party shall be able to control this large vote by corruption and bribery. The time may come when the men of this country may have to rie in the defense of their own citizenship. The American stands at the top to-day in the evolution of civilization, and it is" the direct result of his responsibility of citizenship. 1 say that, despite the Haws, man's suffrage has proven a success. It is true that we have a very different immigration now from that of former years, but there are a million and a half more male Immigrants than female, and if the women of this country were enfranchised to-day it would not be the enfranchisement of aliens. There are a great many women who know a great deal more than a great many men." and when women are enfranchised it will not mean more ignorance, but more intelligence. It is estimated that there are 5M,Goo fallen women in this country and 6.000.000 fallen men. There are 12,000,uu0 women in this country old enough to vote; take 000,000 of the good women to offset the same number of fallen women and you have H.Ooo.OuO good women left. If you take 6,000,H) of the good men to offset the vote of the bad men, you only have 1,500, OuO of the vote of the good men left, because there are just -13.500,000 voting men in this country. Let us invite to the ballot box all of the adults of both sexes, trusting that the combined virtue will overcome the combined evil." At the close of the programme Miss Anthony thanked the many ladies of the different committees for their part in making this meeting such a success, and she said that she hoped great good had been derived from what had been said by all of the able speakers who had addressee the people during the meeting. Miss Anthony will not leave the city before Sunday, as she has a business meeting this afternoon. THE AFTEIIXOOX SESSION'. Lew Wallace, Jr., Heads n Paper . Other on the Programme. Miss Susan B. Anthony presided at the meeting yesterday afternoon at Plymouth Church. The auditorium of the church was well filled by an Interested and appreciative audience. "Does the State Need Woman Suffrage?" was the first paper on the programme, which was read by Lew Wallace, Jr. Among other things he said: "The natural right to a volco in all common concerns cannot bo withheld arbitrarily from any worthy class of citizens without incurring u penalty exacted inexorably by natural laws from the whole body politic, and, in the case of -women, the consequent positive harm, no less real because but dimly perceived, is intensified by depriving the Republic of an element of the strength which, according to the wisdom of the centuries, resides in the individual character of tho elector. Therefore, to advocate the exercise of this right of women is no mere affair of gallantry, but a duty to aid one who is contending for a common right, a duty to prevent the public mischief wrought by injustice on the part of the state, a duty to better the government throughout its structure from the foundation upward. "In the Ameriran commonwealths discrimination against women in this respect

Is peculiarly unjust and is pernicious in a special manner. Here a new race of mankind is being born and coming through its iirst stages. To woman in more ways than one are the pain and travail, and to her should be given, in the largest practicable measure, the guidance of the first uncertain steps. She will never lose sight of the future cf her progeny, and the persistent energy of her conscience, the constant strength of her faith and the perfection of her loyalty are as much needed by the herculean infant as the gentle restraint of her love and her softly spoken admonitions. "The admission of women to full citizenship would intensify and develop that perfect loyalty which knows but one object of patriotic devotion. As a consequence of such act of bare justice, our national independence would be fortified by a more distinct separation from others in thought, method and aspiration, and the government

of our internal atlalrs would be Improved in many ways and features. Do not expect me to say that women see more clearly than men into all the relations of life, or that they are more honest than men in all things. Such is not the truth. But in one particular I think it unqualifiedly true that women, as a rule, are less Impeded by selfishness or indifference in perception, reasoning, word or conduct, and In no narrow sense that particular affects every internal governmental function and many purely moral concerns. I refer to habitual law-breaking. POLYGAMY DENOUNCED. "Some years ago the Congress of the United States, which Is absolute In the territories, enacted that polygamy should be a felony in such territories. That was the law. Under it Utah was made a State upon the assurance given In her Constitution that polygamy should be forbidden within her borders. Ever since such admission polygamy has been a criminal offense. That is the law. For years, while these laws have been in force, Brigham H. Roberts has lived with more than one wife. During that time every moment of his life has been an open, contemptuous declaration that he owes no duty of obedience or respect to the law of the land. To-day he is demanding a seat in Congress to participate In framing that law. Is there a thoughtful woman who requires any argument to make it plain to her mind that this claim is preposterous? That it violates a subfundamental principle of orderly government? Or that the law would become a sham, a lie, if tho making of it were confided to those who thus set at naught and defy its most august ordinances? "And going one step further, why is not the same rule to apply to the voter? Let me be specific again. There are laws in Indiana, wise or unwise is beside the question, designed to mitigate the evils of the dramshop. In this city there are some hundreds of saloonkeepers holding licenses under those laws, and every one of these, with the possible exception of some half dozen or so, violate these liquor laws whenever it pays them a cent to do so, and as a regular matter of business. So notorious is this fact that the mayor, speaking under oath as a. witness in a lawsuit, said, in effect, that it would do no harm to the reputation of the keeper of a drinking resort, even when maintained in an orderly neighborhood, to be known as an habitual violator of the liquor laws. And he told the truth. The retail liquor dealer is past that kind of harm to his reputation. And he Is by no means alone in this respect. Going from him and his trade in a direction commonly accepted as upward, we find in all stations of life men, and women, too, who practice law-breaking for the money there is In it, and finally come to the habitat of the huge criminals who form interdicted combines and get attorney generals of the United States to publish letters saying that the government of the United States is impotent to enforce its laws. The majesty of the law a phrase of majestic meaning at one time has become the butt of the outlaw's merriment as he names one set of officers to enact statutes to please the old-fashioned, and another set to see that they are not enforced. "This condition must and will be changed. But peaceable measures are best; and to these women without votes can contribute a mighty aid, end with votes can add an overwhelming force. The remedy is obvious, and I think feasible." MRS. CATT'S TALK. After the address Mrs. Fremont Swain sang "When the Heart Is Young" In a manner which charmed the audience. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt discussed "The Need of the Hour." Her talk reviewed the evolution of women to the present day. She said in years past women had no personal property, and to-day woman is man's equal in everything but one thing, and that Is political rights. She said, however, that would come as the world advances, just as the advancement of the women in other lines has gone on. She said the great need of the hour was thorough organization among the women of the country through the suffrage movement: that If there was thorough organization it would not be long before the Woman's Suffrage Association could send a petition to Congress asking that an amendment be added to the Constitution for the enfranchisement of women, and if the majority of the women would only throw off their indifference and become interested In the work It would only be a shoit time until women could vote. After Mrs. Catt's talk Miss Mary G. Hay, a former Indianapolis woman, talked a few moments on the financial condition of the suffrage organization and the needs to carry on the work. She had passed through the audience slips on which was written a sort of promissory note, on which the people were to specify what amount they would give and at what time for the benefit of the organization, and the usual collection was taken up. Mrs. Philip Goetz sang "The Garden of Sleep," and Rev. J. Milburn addressed the audience on "Woman and the World Progress." Mr. Milburn made very direct and telling remarks regarding tho Influence of women In purifying politics, although he said the women of olden times, the womanly and modest woman, had a great fascination for him the woman who depended solely upon her husband and had no voice in public affairs. He said that he also believed in the advancement of women and thought that they should vote, since they hate the right by brain power, equal if not superior to man, the right by morality, the right by love of the beautiful and because it is their duty to vote, since when woman has the political right to vote politics will under her influence become purer and better. Mr. Milbum spoke of such women as Elizabeth, under whose rule England enjoyed one of its most Illustrious periods, and Anne and Victoria, all women possessed of rare administrative ability. All tnrough Mr. Milburn's talk he showed that he was sympathetic with women In puolic life, and when she comes to take her place in every sphere the world will undoubtedly be better for it. State Snffrnge Society. At a meeting yesterday morning at Plymouth Church there was organized a State Suffrage Society. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt presided at the meeting, which was composed of some of the most prominent women in Indianapolis. The officers elected were: Mrs. John M. Judah. president; Mrs. Mary F. Armstrong, of Kokomo, vice president; Mrs. A. B. Forrest, of Irvlngton. corresponding secretary; Mrs. Bertha Wade, recording secretary; Mrs. Alice Waugh, of Tipton, treasurer; Mrs. Virginia Patterson, of ICokomo. auditor. Another meeting will be held this morning at 10 o'clock at the Denison Hotel to organize a local society. GOES TO PITTSBURG. President Donnelly Talk of III Visit to Kansas City. President Samuel B. Donnelly, of the International Typographical Union, left the city last night for Pittsburg, Pa., where he will confer with the publishers over conditions in that city. He says, In connection with his visit to Kansas City, that the typothetae has issued a circular calling on all employers of labor to band together to crush all trades unions, but that, although the circulars have been sent broadcast over Kansas City and other cities, they have accomplished little. He says, in his opinion, the only ones who will suffer by the fight are the small printers. Carrier Allowance Made. Postmaster Hess received word from Washington yesterday that he had been allowed thirty-five days' extra service for carriers for the holiday season. Ho is also to receive $3) for extra clerk hire during the same season. It. W. J. Carroll, a carrier, has received an advance of $1W in salary, to begin the 1st of December

CHAIRMAN HERNLYH0ME

KV VOlllv SENTIMENT FAVOIIS Mil. HOOT FOR VICE PRESIDENT. .Mr. llernl- Sn) "Ilen-llnr" I Having n "Wonderful Success Other Topic Illicussetl. L. Mr. Charles S. Hernly,. chairman of the Republican state committee, returned yesterday from a two weeks' tour of the East. When seen at the Denison last night he said: "I have just returned from the East and find the sentiment In New York largely In favor of Secretary Root for Vice President, although there are several active candidates in the Empire State. Among them Is Timothy L. Woodruff, the present Lieuten ant Governor, and possibly Sereno E. Payne, the chairman of the ways and means committee. The East is full of polltics, and everything points to early conventions. The national convention will meet early In June, and tho belief Is that the candidates will be McKinley and Bryan, and that the campaign Is on and the conventions might as well bo held and have it over, and then have a short speaking campaign, but devote mtfch time to thorough organization. "I saw the initial performance of 'BenHur,' and it is as great a success as the book from which it comes. Greater New York is talking about the wonderful success of the dramitization of this novel. The people are wild and excited over It and they stand In line for hours to buy gallery seats, and when gallery seats sell well the show Is a big success. "There is more of sincere business .atmosphere at Washington attending the opening of Congress than I have ever seen, and the disposition seems to be to get down to work and do business. The financial bill will pass the House very soon and all important matters will be dealt with promptly. The Roberts case Is attracting much attention and he will not be given a seat. The selection of General Henderson as speaker of the House by acclamation has had a tendency to harmonize all Interests of the party, and the harmony now existing at Washington will spread over the party throughout the country. I think that the Senate will not re-elect Colonel Dick Bright sergeant-at-arms of the Senate. "There has been a call issued for a meeting of all members of the state committee on Wednesday, the 13th Inst., at which time the plans for the reorganization of the party throughout the State will be perfected." Wan on Grant' Staff. Colonel George E. Pride, formerly of the staff of General U. S. Grant, was at the Denison last night on a visit from Huntington. He is probably the possesor of more personal letters fro mGeneral Grant than anv man who served with him in the army. Colonel Pride is a Republican and predicts a good showing by the Republicans of Huntington. Visitor from Goshen. Charles W. Miller, a newspaper man and lawyer, of Goshen, was at the Denison yesterday. Representative Ileser Here. Representative A. O. Reser, of Lafayette, was at the Denison for a few hours yesterday. DISEASE' MAY SPREAD. John ItnprlKlit, a Smallpox Tatlent, Shook Hands with School Teachers. John Ruprbjht, ex-commissioner of Adams county, who has been in Ohio visiting relatives, returned to his home, about six miles north of Ossian, on last Thursday, and yesterday he developed a very serious case of smallpox, it is said. He returned by the way of Bluffton, changing cars at that point and going to Ossian by way of the L. E. & W. He was welcomed at the depot at Ossian by a number of school teachers, who shook hands with him, and, as Mr. Rupright was ill on the train, it is presumed that he was Infected with the disease at that time. It may be that all of those who came In contact with Mr. Rupright will be quarantined to prevent the spread of the disease, should they have become infected. Dr. Wells has asked the State Board of Health for instructions, and its decision in the matter will be final. CITY NEWS NOTES. Rev.

DUDLEY FOULKE'S NOVEL IT IS BASED OS TIIC ItUIXS AND LEGENDS OF YUCATAN. And Will ne Published in a Short Time Richmond Commercial Club Talks of Resolutions. William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond, gave out the Information at the Denison last night that he had just signed the papers which had revived the Commercial Club of Richmond which suspended operations several years ago through Its Inability to carry the Hotel Westcott enterprise. Mr. Foulke said that the club, on Its part, had given John M. Westcett a quitclaim deed to the hotel property and had received from Mr. Westcott a release from all Indeotedness to him. He said the club would resume operations at once and for the present would have quarters In the Westcott Hotel building. Its officers will be: William Dudley Foulke, president; J. J. Harrington and George Knollenberg, vice presidents, and S. S. Stratton, seceretary. Among the directors are: Renjamln Starr, L. M. Jones, Dr. Welst, H. K. Robinson, John McCarthy, Louis Emmons, Senator C. C. Binkley, Guney Hill and J. W. Tingle. The suspension of the business of the club was due to the fact that, in promoting the Interests of Richmond, It undertook to build what was considered at the time to be the finest hotel In the State. The ground was donated by Mr. Westcott, who also loaned the club considerable money with which to build the hotel. The enterprise did not pay and the club was forced to give up after sinking over $100,000 in the venture. Mr. Westcott foreclosed on the property and the matter has hung fire ever since, until, within the last few days, a compromise was effected by which ar. Westcott received the hotel free of entanglements and the club wiped out its big debt Mr. Foulke, while discussing his affairs, said that he had given the finishing touches to a novel on a subject almost untouched heretofore. It is an historical romance with the scene laid in Yucatan, where Mr. Foulke traveled for several months last year. He Fays he was so much impressed with the historic value of the ancient ruins there and the legends connected with them, that he wrote the novel and Is now maiclng arrangements to publish it. Mr. Foulke, who Is the chairman oi the resolutions committee of the National Civil Service Reform League, in dlscus?ing his work with that organization said that he was about sure tha.. his committee would make a report criticising President McKinley's attitude on the civil service question as evidenced by his appointments. Said he: 'Ve are nearly all McKinley men and will vote for him when he runs for re-election, but we feel that he has taken a few oftices which perhaps justified removal from the civil service list and has used them as a pretext for taxing about ten thousand ethers from the list and turning them over to the spoilsmen. We are expecting a report from a committee which Is investigating the matter and we think it will show these facts, and If it does, we shall make a report in the nature of a criticism on the policy of the President."

Gentlemen I had a coush for three years, effects of grip and not taking proper care of xny&clf. In April, 1S3S I became so weak I was unable to work. I was examined by two physicians, who told me I had bronchitis, very bad. They advised me to uc Puffy'i Malt Whiskey, but I was eo titter against whiskey that I M ould not consent. I?y August 20th last I had gone so far as to t unable to get tny breath, except with difficulty was very low. I thought I could not live much longer. Our old physician, Br. T. V Campbell, cf Energy, 8. examined ray lungs, told me the right one was very tad and the left one but a trine better, but that I had enough lungs left to live a good while yet if I would tale plenty of Duffy's Malt Whiskey, and take it regularly. By this time I was willing to do anythiug for relief. So the dear old man, though he is not a whiskey doctor, ordered tne to begin at once with two tablespoonfuls as a dose every two hours, day and night. I did so, and immediately began to improve, and now, fix weeks from that time, I can breathe almost as well as I cvcrCDuld, and Dr. C. says my lungs are healed, except one dull place In the right lung, and that tho cavities arc contracting. I do not know whether God Is going to let me get well or not, but I humbly trust He will, and-I telieve that, under God, your Whiskey has fared my life thnj far, and if I had begun a year afjol would have been cured by this time. Respectfully, Mrs. H. 11 RIDDLE. Zeno, 8. a DUFFY'S ri'RE MALT WIIISICKY not only Ct'ItKS the cough and heals the lungs, but it stimulates the blood to healthy action.
