A short half-hour’s walk from St.ndsmouth—a large seaport on the Souih--ern English coast—lies the secluded village of Bithfield. It is but a s snail „ place, and may fairly be described as secluded; for although so near a ; urge town, yet, lying on a cross-road between two other roads—which t fimselves were never of great importance, and are now shorn even of that by the rail ways—Bithfield seems to have grown lonelier and quieter than ever. A little outside of the village, and between it and the town, stood Fera’ow Cottage, the residence of Mrs. Yabens. This at least was the title by which she was known to the few persons- -her tradesmen chiefly—who had occasi n to speak of her; but.it was given priniipalf ly on account of her mature age, for she was past middle life, and as a sert. of compliment, rather than as implying the existence, past or present, of a Mr. Vallens. She l>v«J a retired, solitary life, ami was so reserved in her maimer as to repel the few residents of Bit! field who had sought her acquaintance. So reserved was she, that no foot save that of her'own servants crossed her threshold month after month; but at the opening of our story an incident, occurred which changed this monotony in some degree.

When Mrs. V aliens walked out. she usually selected the least-frequented paths, and with her deep double vail screening her face her features were almost invisible to the few persons whom she encountered. One afternoon she was following a by-path which led a ross some fields to a farm-house and cottages, when she came suddenly upon a spectacle which startled her. At the foot of a large tree knelt a girl of some eighteen or nineteen years, supporting a boy, a mere child, clad in the commonest rustic garb of the neighborhood. He was evidently insensible; and as the dress of the girlrivas stained with blood, and the face.of the boy was also ma sked, it was clear that he had received some ‘ injury. The girl was holding a small scentbottle to his nostrils, and on hearing a ^step looked up. “Oh, I am so glad some one has come!” she exclaimed. “1 saw this poor little fellow fall from this tree; and when I came up his forehead was covered with blood, and he was quite senseless. What can we doP” The mysterious lady of Femlow Cottage imm&liately dropped on one cnee * by the side of the nurse and her pa-lent; then, with dexterous and gentle touch, examined into the injuries the boy had sustained. _ “He is not very seriously hurt, I think,” she said; “and if you will hold him untilT bring some water— there is a spring just here—he will recover. You are not afraid?” “ N—no,” said the girl. “It is very dreadful to look at all this bland, a ad to see him looking like death; but I will hold him.” Without another word, the elder lady disappeared, but returned almost immediately with her bonnet filled with Jr'av ater—greatly to the younger lady’s horror; for she, after the mann -r of -• her sex, had noted the costly materials of which the article was composed. The water was sprinkled over the boy’s face. He almost immediately sighed , and opened his eyes. The elder lady drew out her handkerchief, with which she bathed his brow and washed away the clotted blood, then bound it ca efuily round an ugly cut which this process had rendered plainly visible. By this time the lad could soeak; then with an effort he stood upright, and was able to explain that he lived in one of the cottages by. the farmhouse; that he had been bird-neKting. The rest the ladies knew more bout than himself. By their assistance the lad was enabled to walk slowly to ward the farm-house, until the party met a laborer who knew him and kindly took him in charge. Relieved of this care, the younger nurse had an opportunity to coatemplate and bewail the really unsightly blotches on her light-colored dress, the behplding of which, or the reaction natural after her eScitement, af -acted her to team, which had in them a strong suspicion of hvsterics.

“ M>me to my bouse, my dearc uld, said Mrs. Vallens, speaking with a softness and tenderness for which few of her neighbors would have give a her credit. “It is close by; and, as I must send a servantjnto the town to ask Dr. Wright to come odt to the farm and see * the boy, she shall call upon your friends and bring another dress for you, or I can lend you one, whichever you please.” *.— “But your bonnet is spoiled,' said the girl, through her tears; “ and such a beautiful bonnet, too!” Then remembering that a question had been asked or implied, continued: “I should feel glad if you could send word; and yet it would frighten my mother so much! No, I had better go home. I live in Bithfield, in the Lower Down Road; my name is Daraett—Marian Dar iett— and-” “I know you, Miss Darnett,” interrupted her companion, with a quiet smile, “although you, perhaps, do not know me; and as we are now dose to my house, we had better go in and decide upon our plans.” This was the beginning of m intimacy between the fecluse proprietress of Fernlow Cottage and Miss Marian Darnett, two beings us opposite in their appearance and, one would have supposed, in their astes, as could easily be found. For Marian was rather shy and timid, yet frank and careful withal. She had teard, too, by local gossip-, of Mrs. V liens, and held her in the same dislike, almost dread, as did most of her leighbors. She found, however, that while Mrs. Vallens still held the same repellent front to all others, she was so kind and gentle to her, and welcomed her so cheerfully to her home—1 lough • never could she be induced to return the visit—that Marian felt sure she had been secretly pining for companionship, and was thankful f ur the chance which threw them togetht r. Solitary and secluded as hid lx en her residence at Fernlow Cottage, Mr a. Vallens must have exercised the pi iverbial quickness of a woman's obser ation; for Marian soon found—greatly o her confusion at first—that this la< y was fully acquainted with her i«; faacy

iking young fel- . '* clerk in the shipping add general mercantile firm of More, Keelby ft On., one of the prinin Sandsmouth. When had shown how for her knowledge extended, and her kindly manner had won Marian's confidence, she was evidently pleased to lead the latter to speak freely and to receive the little confidences the girl had to impart. Having commenced our story, as it were, in the middle, we are debarred from making the usual detailed explanations in regard to the positions and antecedent* of our characters; for this the reader should be thankful. We shall merely say, in reference to Marian’s friends, that they were in a respectable, although not extensive way of business in the town, living, as being cheaper and pleasanter, in the suburbs. Of Mr. Philip Harfleby, Mrs. Vallens had a pretty aocurate knowledge. He was the son of a surgeon who had owned one of the best practices in Sandsmouth, but he—the surgeon—was an easygoing, careless fellow, clever enough in his profession, but not in much else besides; so, when he died, at the age of forty or so, his only son found himself with no profession and no property. He was, nowever, a clever, energetic young fellow, by no means disposed to eat the bread of idleness. Having, by the aid of friends, obtained a clerkship in the house of More, Keelby & Co., he worked with such a will that he soon obtained promotion, and was now looked upon as the most rising man in the establishment. The proprietress of Fernlow Cottage encouraged Marian to speak of the young man, and took pleasure in her ■ little history. Prosaic and common-^ place as such a history would have seemed to many, yet there is a halo of romance inseparable from the plainest love-story, which is dear to woman, even when she is reserved and hermitlike, as was Mrs. Vallens. Hot that Marian would now ever allow that there was anything in the least degree harsh or ropellant in the temperament of her new friend. It was only manner, the young lady contended—the effect, she was certain, of some early sorrow. Perhaps, Marian used to think, and sometimes say to Philip, perhaps she had once loved as they loved, and had been less happy; thus, in her turn, weaving something of romance about the lady.

une evening, some momns aner me incidents just related, when spring- had grown to summer, and summer was fading into autumn, Phil Hartleby called at Mr. Darnett’s house, in the Lower Down Road. This was no unusual circumstance with him; ’tut on this particular evening he was to take Marian to a school-room hard by, where was to be held a rehearsal for a certain local concert, at which the young lady was to sing. She had a voioe at once sweet and powerful, and which had been well trained. Although she made no claim to be a finished vocalist of the operatic pattern, nevertheless in ballads and songs she was very attractive; and as it turned out, this concert became something lijce a’turning point in her hitherto quiet* and unobtrusive life. On this night, too, Phil was full of news; the changes which had been Xken of so long in the great house of re, Keelby & Co. had at last taken place; the style of the firm would be preserved as hitherto, but old Mr.‘ More would retire, and a new partner would come in—had come in, he understood. This was Mr. Pike, a gentleman of immense capital, and stul more immense business capacity and energy; so Phil was informed. He was to be the managing partner; the ruling spirit; everything, m fact; and uuder his sway the firm might possibly grow to tenfold its present extent. Then, when Marian was walking by his side to the rehearsal, Phil added a fancy sketch to these particulars, which he had not deemed necessary to draw before the family Circle. This sketch had reference to the wider field opened to the staff of the firm by the change, their bettered positions, their early, and of course, always happy marriages, and a possibility of some one of the number being selected to take charge of the accounts at the London branch of the housCl If this were so, the delights of living in the metropolis might fall to the lot of Mr. Phil Hartleby and his wife—that would be; and they, like all residents in the provinces, thought of London very much as we are told their predecessors thought of it in Whittington’s time. Much of the information apart from this sketch,which,as we have explained, was reserved for a select listener, was earnestly discussed by Mr. Darnett, to whom it was as interesting as to Philip himself, as the former did what was for him a large business with the firm, and it was of importance that he should know whether certain facilities for transacting this business would be increased or diminished by the change. Philip took a yeiy sanguine view, basing his conclusions upon the character which had preceded the new partner, who was said to have no old-fashioned notions which would cramp and restrict the business, such as Mr. More sometimes labored under. No; he was one who liked the customer to “go ahead,” the faster and furtheii thajbetter. These were evidently agreeable tidings to Mr. Darnett, and he was as thoroughly prepared as Philip himself to rejoice in the coming of Mr. Pike.

*wiiu auu aiici tao rciitsarsAi, which was of but short duration, this kind of conversation prevailed, and Philip having seen Marian to her father's house, left in even higher spirits than he came, at the prospect, which the advent of the new partfier opened to himself and his friends. Phil’s home was in Sandsmouth; and as he entered a suburb of the town, he heard the sound of angry voices, and turning a sharp angle of the road, came in sight of the speakers. A gentleman on horseback was engaged in altercation with a man at the roadside; the latter was holding some object in his arms; in the darkness, Philip could not at first accurately make out what this was. Two or three men from a neighboring beer-house had come out at the sound of the voices, and stood looking on and smoking, with but a languid interest, as no chance of a personal conflict seemed likely to be evolved. The man on the footpath was a lowlooking, shabbily-dressed fellow, not of the rustic or laboring type, but rather of the •‘flash” townsman order, being, indeed, Just the man upon whom a police officer's eyes would turn by instinct “That’s a lie, and you know it,” he said, bitterly, in continuation of some earlier argument “The dog was trying to get out of your way, till you hit him with your whip and drove the poor brute under your horse’s feet. I wish I had you off your horse on the Downs here, I would give you something to remember him by.” “Why, I have seen you before!” exclaimed the gentleman. “Now, you move into thelight, I recollect you.” The man shrank back a pace or two here, so as to avoid the rays of a gaslight which shone from the neighboring beer-house! “Oh! you need not slink back,” continued the horseman; “I know you! I saw you on the racecourse yesterday. You are a thimblerigger, a three-card man, and a pickpocket into the bargain, I ‘have no doubt. If I could see the police sergeant now, I would have you looked up at once.” A murmur from the lookers-on implied that this was not fair fighting and had nothing to do with the points under discussion. “ Look hero, sir,” said the man, encouraged probably by this token of •ywpatby, and turning to Philip a* the

mo? ; important member of his audience, “ you see this poor dogP” He ooened his sums as he spoke, and showed that what he held was a little brown do#, or dead, so Philip judged from lelpless manner in which it lying. “Po 'oor fellow!” said Phil in the pitying tone one Instinctively falls into on seeing a suffering dumb animal. “Are you one of the gang?” demanded the rider, who was clearly not dist inguished for good temper. Pllm looked rather angnly up at the speaker and met his eye. He was a man of middle age, dark complexion, and with remarkably glossy whiskers, while his eyes were Keen, unfeeling eyes—so thought Phil, as he noted them in a single glance by the gas-light. “ I know no more of a gang than yourself,” retorted Phil. “ I am only sorry to see the poor little dog in such a state. The man seems fona of him, and you can not wonder if he feels its loss.” “ He should feel something else, if I had my will,” returned the horseman; “ and if you are not one of the gang, you had better be careful how you pick your companions, for if I meet a policeman, I will come back with him; so you had. better clear off.” With this he put spurs to his horse and was out of sight directly. “ What made him so terribly out of temper with you?” said Phil. “JHad you had much of a quarrel before 1 came up?” “ Yes; we just about did have arow,” said the man. “He killed poor Tiny, and he did it on purpose. If we had been in a quieter place, out on the Downs, for instance, I would have put him-” The man did not finish his sentence. “ What made him say you were a card-sharper and so on?” asked Phil, who regretted the indiscreet question the moment he had asked it. “What made him say it?” echoed the man. “ Why, because l am one, that’s why. I have been working the race meeting down here, but with bitter bad luck. 1 have tried the cards; I have tried the purse trick; I have tried all I know, but couldn’t draw a coin from the stingy chawbacons about here. I lost every shilling I put on the horses; and now me and Tiny was on the tramp; and this pipe of tobacco what I was smoking was the last I had got, and neither me nor Tiny knew where to get our supper to-night nor our breakfast in the morning. But we had been in such a fix before this; and I would have fone without a meal for myself—and ave done it, mister—before Tiny should have gone without his; and now he’s dead. 1'always had a friend while he was alive, and now-” The tramp, for such he Clearly was, faltered in his speech here, and under pretense of pushing back his rawed hair, Philip saw him draw the cuff of his sleeve across his eyes.

auc vuuug mau ncMiaieu a muiueub, then drawing- half a crown from his pocket, offered it to the other. “This is not a great deal,” said Phil, “hot it will help you to get a lodging for tonight, and to-morrow something may turn up.” “Well!” exclaimed the tramp, after a pause of astonishment, “I didn’t expect this, mister—I didn’t indeed. I’m very much obliged to you for it; but if you think I was working the oracle for this, in telling you what I did, I’m blessed if I want it. I don’t, really. Sleeping in a barn is nothing fresh to me; and I shouldn't like you to think, though I am a thimble-rigger, that-” “Oh, nonsense,” said Phil. “I give it to you for poor Tiny’s sake. I am fond of dogs myself, so I quite understand your sorrow at his death.” “Thank you, mister; I thank you kindly for this half-crown.” said the man. “But, though you’ve got a feeling heart, you can’t understand what I feel at losing this dumb creature. But if ever I get a chance of squaring it with that fellow-” y “Come! don’t talk snch dangerous nonsense,” said Phil. “I dare say ho has forgotten all about you by this time; at any rate, he did not come back with the police. You know you ought not to talk like that.” “He’s a bad one—a rank bad one, spite of his horse and his swell clothes,” retorted the other; “and always was.” “Always was!” repeated Phil. “Have you ever seen him before?” The man looked at Phil with a curious smile before replying, and then said: “Did you see me move out of the light when he said he knew me? You tud. Well, I didn’t want him to recollect too much. P’raps he did see me on the race-course; for, I tell yhu freely, I have been there with the cards; but p'raps he did not. It’s just as likely he only thought he did. Directly I spoke to him and told him my opinion, before you was there, you know, I saw a look come upon his face as if he were trying to recall something he had seen or heard a good while ago.” “Well, good night,” said Phil; “I wish you better luck apd a better trade. Get out of Sandsmouth anyhow.” “Good night, mister, and Jjood luck to you,” said the tramp. “As to’my trade, it’s pretty near all that is left me. I think I saw you in a certain warehouse to-day; and if I am right, you will find there are people in other trades quite as bad as me. But you’ve got a kind heart, mister; and if ever I can do you a good turn, I wilL” ,And with this they parted.

CHAPTER H. There was excitement in the warehouses, the counting-house and the ivhole of the realms under the sway of .Messrs. More, Keelby & Co.; for on the day following the incidents with which our last chapter closed, it was understood that the new partner—-the capitalist—would enter upon the management. None of the clerks had seen him save old Mr. Seamier, the headclerk, who had met him at Mr. More’s to give certain explanations as to the working of the business; so the stall were aU agog to catch the first glimpse of the new emperor. He was punctual) arriving at the time indicated; but it so happened that Phil had gone round to the docks at the moment, so that he did not see the triumphal procession—as one of his comrades called it—through the offices. His curiosity, however, if he felt any, was not long unsatisfied; for through the speaking-tube which led from the private room to the counting-house there came a message desiring Mr. Hartleby to attend. The young man, who had expected some such notice in connection with his visit to the docks, went promptly in, and found all three of the old firm present, with a strange gentleman and old Mr. Seamier in attendance. “This is Mr. Philip Hartleby, one of the best of our young people,” said Mr. More to the strange gentleman. Then addressing Phil, he continued: “As this will be the last time I shall be in this room, on business, at any rate, Mr. Hartleby, I feel great pleasure in introducing you to Mr. Pike, and telling him that he will find in you a valuable servant.” At this, of course, Phil bowed to the strange gentleman, and would have said a few words fitting to the occasion, but that he had been utterly taken aback by what he saw immediately upon entering the room. The new partner, Mr. Pike, was the horseman who had held the “angry parley” with the tramp on the previous evening, and who had been within an ace of forcing a quarrel upon Phil himself.

The “ Farm-Help” Problem. While the writer of this paragraph accepts i a part the coat that he prepares for others, it is ho use to deny that the scarcity of labor results more from the practice of not; hiring permanent farm help than from any other, or several other cruses. The farmer, as a rule, does not employ help enough, nor does he, from this very reason, work his farm to its even average capaoity. The young man seeks labor upon a farm, and is informed that his labor is only wanted “hntii after haying,” when the young man is left “ high and dry” unless he can find chance employment for a month or two at greatly reduced wages, and at t he beginning of winter he finds himself with chopping wood as about his only prospective means of getting through the winter. This young man looks about, finds that the men who seek other employments, as a rule, get continuons work, and with no particular fluctuations In the - price of labor. True, the employers of such labor occasionally •• shut down,” but, in the main, infrequently, and then scarcely longer than the time he is not wanted by the farmer, and so the drift is toward employment in manufacturing establishments and those occupations, that gives stea dy and continuous labor and wages. To get a hired man for six months, the farmer offers from $120 to even $150, a sum nearly equal t6 that paid for a year’s man, the real difference being the board, and this, in reality, is nob high wages for winter work. This lasts had the effect of driving married men bo seek other employment than that offered by the farm, and leaves single men to be possibly obtained, ana sc large a proportion are actually “floaters, who can only be depended upon when they choose, not the will of the em ployer. It may be urged, and with a good showing, that upon the smaller farms winter labor, now that rails are no longer s plit, logs drawn for lumber and cord-wood sold in the village, is not profitable, but changed times offer new avenues for the pertonpanoe of -labor, and winteu-dllirving has become very profitable, and does not make up the sum total of the possibilities of winterfarming. The rush of our foreign citizens, “assisted” and by their own assistance, to the far West, does not afford tl^armer a chance to obtain oheap help, atid, together with the high price of the labor remaining, is not favorable to a great incirease in production. The effects of this lack of help are visible on every hand, in over-worked farmers, crops neglected to a certain extent, and “many thingn left for to-morrow that should have been done this afternoon.” Permanent labor with continuous wages is the partial solution of the farm labor question.—Cleveland Herald.

Early Fattening of Animals. It is quite ns important to fatten and market economically the products of the farm, an it is to raise them. A pound of beef, perk or poultry, can. be made much cheaper in the early fall months, than later in the season, when a larger part of the rations must go to keep up animaf heat. There is no sleight of hand in laying fat upon an animal's carcass. It. must come out of good, honest food in the rations fed. The temperature in the latter part of summer and early autumn is in favor of the best use of all the fattening articles of fbod, while there is enough of green food to sharpen the appetite, ana keep up good digestion. We have found green corn stalks, especially sweet corn, an excellent airticle in the stye, to be fed in connection with corn on the cob, and cornmeal, and other rations. We have never seen pork made more rapidly than with this kind of feeding. It will be safe to feed all that the swine will eat up clean, and no more. Slack up the feed a little when anything is left in the trough. This will require a little attention, but the pigs will grow so fast that one can afford to linger by the stye a few minutes, once a day, to see the fat accumulate. Corn is high this season, an i we want to make the best use of it. The liest poultirmen we know begin to give extol feed in September, when .they moan to kill ins November. The Thanksgiving market is pretty sure to be 1 good one, and brings ready cash. The small potatoes boiled, and mixed with Indian meal and hot water, make an excellent feed for turkeys and other poultry. This favors growth, as well as fattening. The rations of corn and other grain, unground, maybe reserved to the ]&h few weeks of life. Turkeys should have their liberty' all through the extra feeding. Some poultrymen shut upi their geese and ducks, but we doubt the economy of this method. With a good run they wfll have a greater variety of food, and thrive bettor with ar access to a pasture with pond or brook, while they are receiving full feed for market All that the fattening animals will eat dean is a good rule for the last Bgpath of feeding.-Agri-csiiwtjt ti.

He would not, and she moved to Baltimore, carrying her children, leaving Mr. Price in Goldsboro. They cones ponded a short while. Mr. Price lived here alone. Not hearing from her in seven or eight years, he knevr not but what she was dead, so he manied a second wife some three months ago. Last week wife No. 1 came to Clayton, thinking she could induce her husband to accompanv her back to Baltimore. now that sne liad accumulated some property. She heard of his second marriage and did not go to his house, but went out and stopped with one of Mr. Price's neighbors. He of course went over to see ner, and a scene followed.

DR. JOHN BULL’S FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and ACUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of thin celebrated medtfilne justly claims for it a superiority over all rem. edies ever offered to the publie for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEfiDY and PERMANENT oure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to oure if the directions are strictly followed and oarried out. In a great many eases a single dose has besnsuffioient for a oure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfeet restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more certain to oure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been ohedeed, more especially in diffioult and long-standing oases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BOLL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient. " DR.

DR. SCHENCK’8 PULMONIC SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC, “« MANDRAKE PILLS. A* tbe proprietor of time medicine* I oonstdea tlously offer them to the public u nit, reBaMe and ' certain remedlea tor tbe Cure of ConsumpMt*. ant with equal coofldeoee aa almost a epeclflc for those morbid conditions of U)e bodjr, which. U neglected, are apt to terminate In fatal dlaeatea of the lungs I claim that the oae of mj remedies will cun Consumption. - I do not Claim that the dltente can be cored after the hugs are destroyed. for no medicine can create new onea; bat I maintain that the drat etagea of Consumption an curable, ctto when tb« lungs ere partially decayed. When one lane ieeonnd I am almost certain of making a core. If the patient will take proper care of himself anil follow my directions. It may be asked: “Bow It It that you can knows, much about thla disease, and pretend to duett, when to many educated physicians who hare made n study of it for yean, pronounce it Incurable?** The question Is a fair one, and shall be fairly answered: I do not claim to know more than other physicians shoot the causes, nature and history or Consumption. I suppose that my riewt on theta points would ho found to agree with those of mock educated and intelligent physicians We should agree that while ihcjfnal cause Is obscure—In other words, while It la not possible to sap tebp Consumption selects this or that personas n^vfctlm—yet the prsdispoeM# causes nre t 1st, /ndoritonea. Consumption is hereditary inn wonderful degree. Ont parent very often entails It upon the offspring, mad botJk still more frequently, to that whole families are often swept away, and hand the predisposition down to their ehDdren. 3d. Cold. By this we do not mean those changes of weather which often produce inHammatioa; but longtoontlnned and steady cold, so that n condition of debility la produced. Indeed, whatever tends to WO* duce long-continued debility win. tn some persons, generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among these influences ate Insufficient diet, living In an unwholesome air, sedentary habits. grief, anxiety, disappointment, whether of the affections or in business, and an other depressing emotions; the abuse of mercury and the Influence of weakening diseases, 1 also agree with the best doctors aa to tbe moansr In which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Consumption Is akso called IWberewkma Consumption, bp which we mean a disease of the hinge caused by tubercles. A tubercle It a small, t iundtsh body, which Is deposited tu the substance of the lungs by tho blood. This Is the beginning and Hist act of the disease. Many of these are often deposited at once, Each one undergoes several changes. After products. Inflammation of the parte of the lung next to It, lb ends In ulceration, opens a pasaage Into the bronchial tubes, and passes out at the mouth by spitting. Tho place where the tubercle grew and ripened now becomes a cavity, and where there are a great many tubercles, of course they make n great many of thee, litt le cavities, which gradually nnlte and leave great holes In the lungs. Unless a Mop can be put to thin process. It will go on until the substance of the lungs Is consumed and death ensues.

Of course I agree with the faculty upon the symptoms and course of the disease; the abort, dry, hacking cough, so alight at first, but gradually Increasing; dten shortness of breath, a quickening pulse, then teTeriah sensations, flushing of the cheeks, and heat la the palm of the hands and soles of the feet; the slight but growing emaciation, with feeble appetite, hemorrhages. increasing cough, disturbed sleep, fevered tongue, then loss of appetite, taken to the bed. then expectoration of softened tubercle in the shape 4>t small lumps of yellowish, cheesy, or curdy matter? heeds fever, brilliant eye. ohills, night sweats, «harp pains in the side, increasing em&elatlon and debility, disordered stomach and bowels, diarrhoea, nausea, swollen extremities, hollow checks, sunken eyes, w akness so great that expectoration is impossible; then death, bringing welcome relief froin the tortures of thi$ horrid mouster. Now, as I have said. I mainly agree with the medical faculty on these points. But when we come to the treatment of the disease 1 differ from it totally. The doctors believe Pulmonary Consumptt n con*?* bo. cure*. Therefore they do not try to do anything more than to smooth the patient's path to the grave, ml seem quite recklesa of the medicines they give, so that the patient is kept comfortable and easy, even if his life is shortened. As soon as tubercle* begin to appear In the lungs of a patient, it is a common practice with many leading physicians to begin dosing with whisky In increasing quantities, until the ravages of excessive dram-drinking are added to the ravages of the disease; and 1 have yet to hear of a single case of Consumption which was cured by stimulants. I can say the same of Cod Liver OIL Many physicians sent* their patients away from horns on distant voyages, to Minneso ta or Florida—anything or anywhere so that they may die easy. For they do not pretend to cure, and they have no remedies which wiU do so. Now I say not only that diseases of the longs ean be cured, but that my medicines do cure them. The proof Is, that by their nee thousand» of Consumptive« have been and are now being cured by them. The whole science of medicine is based on experiments. We cannot by any process of reasoning decide that any particular medicine will help or cure my particular disease. How was It found thatQuinine will cure Chills and Fevers? Why, by trying one thing after another, until experlenoe demonstrated that is wte a specific for that disease. In Just that wqy the knowledge was gained of my remedies, which arj almost a specific in diseases of tfe; lnngs Pulmonary Consumption la hereditary In my father's family. His tether, mother, brothers and sisters died of it, and he had reached almost the last stages of the disease when he was providentially led to experiment with the articles which are Incorporated In these medlcim s. He was cured by them, and lived a strong, healthy man for over forty years after his recovery. What cured him has cured thousands of others all over the country. These results are not accidental. There Is no such thing as accident in nature. Whatever may be the cause, the origin of Pul^mary Consumption is In the blood. Whenever, from any of « the predisposing causes which I have Just now mentioned. the blood becomes degenerated, it begins to* make tuberculous deposits in the substance of tho lungs. This must be stopped, or death will surely follow. It will not he enough to get rid of the tubercles already deposited, and heal up the sores already made, but something must be done to stop further deposits. What shall that be? The regular faculty say nothing can be done. I say purify, enrich, and tone up tho blood, until it becomes so healthy as no longer to make tubercles. Can this be done? Yes. Hsw? By the easiest and most natural way in the world. Take a man who shows to the experienced eye, by many infallible signs, that Consumption has set in. He Is feeble and without appetite. Now, see what I intend tn da*

First, l propose to cleanse his stomach and botoels Of their dead, slimy, clogging matter. This I shall do with my Mandrake Pills, which are the best cathartic pills lu the world. They contain no calomel or other minerals, only Vegetable matter. They evacuate tho stomach and bowels gently but thoroughly, and do not weaken or gtfpe. They act like magic on the liver, rousing it out of Its dull, torpid state; and pro* moting a full, free flow of healthy bile, without which there can be^ne perfect digestion. Now that tho stomach and bowels are cleansed and ready—what next? (Treat* an appetite. This I do by my Soa Weed T onic. The effect of this medicine Is wonderful. Unlike h temporary stimulant, which by reaction lets the organs affected sink lower than before, this not only tones up the stomach, but keeps It toned up. Tho natural craving foy food returns in all Its force, so that we have now a stomach hungry for food, and a digestive apparatus ready to make way with it What next? Any one can answer that question. Pat into that hungry stomach an abundant supply nutritious food to be converted by the strange chemistry of digestion into rich red blood. This will stimulate tfte heart into stronger action, and It will pump a fuller current out through tho arteries; healthy blood will take the place of thi thin, blue, flattened fluid In tho veins, and soon a circulation will be established which will flow through the lungs withoue making any unhealthy deposits; strength and flesh will Increase, and the bad symptoms steadily diminish. At the same time use my Pulmonic Syrup; It Is the best, expectorant known. It blends with the food, and through tho blood goes directly to th- lungs, attacks and loosens up the yellow, foul stuff left there by the ripened tubercles, snd strengthens and stimulates, me bronchial tubes and coatings of the air-passages until they get strong enough to lift It out and expal ft by expectoration. Then the lungs get over their soreneM and have a chance to rest and heaL So you see that I have not only sfcewn that my medicines do actually euro consumption by experiment, but it also seems plain that they, or something like them, would, from the nature of the case, do so.
