The Idol and the Idolaters.
BY E. THKFFKBY DUYKWOOD.
There was a crowd of ladle* In I he
office of the Atlantlo House, and the
centre of attraction wag the hotel-reg-ister
; over this bent two or three with
greedy and enraptured eyes.adrnlrlng,
commenting, then sadly dragging
themselves away from the hook t*
make way for the others.
" P. D. C. Howard," read one youug
lady, letting each initial melt slowly I
In her mouth as though It were a de-licious
bon-bou. " I wonder what his
name la!" with a little sigh and eye*
that gazed at nothing.
"Perhaps It's Peter-or Patrick,"
her mother suggested, with apparent
mental exertion.
"Oh, mamma."
And all the ladies pursed their lips
and shook their beads to show the ut-ter
inadmissibility of these names.
" But my dear there have beeu em-perors
of itussia named Peter, and
there Is a Saint Patrick."
" An Irlshsalnt," And the daugh-ter
shuddered delicately, while the en-tire)
company felt the name to be irre-trievably
dammed.
"Yes,but nn aristocratic name mean-ing
' Patrician.' " persisted Mrs. (< rev,
" Oh!" went Miss Adeline Grey,
and " Oh !" went the other ladies.
"That can't be his name," asserted
a tall, young lady with an eye-glass,
bending over the register: " hi* uncle
the Earl of Prestonpans, Is related to
the Northumberland!. His name Is
probably Percy."
Great relief was visible among the
ladle*, theu a calculating look over-spread
their faces, as though they were
trying to add seven and eight toRwtu-er
and bad doubU as to tbe result.
" Or Prestonpans," came faintly
from one.
"OrPenhurst."
" OrPenrhyu."
" I am certain it is Percy," declared
the tall young lady, still admiriug Mr.
P. D. C. Howard's signature through
her glass. " Look,mamma*; his hand-writing
Is almost exactly like the
Prince o/Wales'B."
At which there was a rustle and a
pressing forward, and suoii a geaeral
anxiety to see the register that Minx
Elisabeth standisu. after • parting
look, passed on with the "Peerage"
under her arm.
Then a flying step was heard on the
stair, and a little lady with delicately
•harp features, picturesque hair, ami
the quick movements of a bird swoop-ed
down upon them and fastened her-self
to an old lady's arm.
"Oh, auntie, his things have beeu
brought up.stairs and there are two
leather trunks, and a bat-box, and a
valise, and a tin bath-tub with a cover
and a strap around It ; and his valet
has Just carried up some umbrellas and
canen,and a rug, and some newspapers,
and an opera-glass. I peeped over tlio
balusters and saw him—"
"Hush, Avis! In- may hear you,"
And the wbrte-lialred laxly glanced
timidly about.
But the others had already gathered
around the new comer, and were pre-paring
to pour out a deluge of ques-tions,
when they were cut short by
the quiet distinct voice of Miss Bland-ish:
"Here is Mr.Howard's uametPlau-tagenet
Delaware Cavendish How-ard,
only son of the Honorable Edwin
FlUiuaurlce de Bracy Howard and of
Georgiana Constance, fifth daughter of
tbe Earl of Bosworlb ; be is heir pre-sumptive
of tbe Earl of PrestonpanB.'
And Miss Btandlsh brought this out
with calm.diatincl emphasis and hard-ly-
veiled exultation.
The assembled ladles had expected
something aristocratic, but they were
unprepared for so many and such
high sounding names ; they lost breath
and could only gasp.
" Plantagenet!" murmured Miss
Adelina Grey.
" Heir to the Earl of Prestonrjans !
—oh !" from little Miss Avis Lyons.
"I did not say heir, but heir pre
sumptlve," suid Miss Btaudisb severe-ly.
" Lord Prestonpans married this
spring, Lady Terpsichore Penelope
Braudywlne, eldest daughter of tli*
Duke of Paleall. They might hav*
children," she added sagely.
How much more noble Information
Dllgut have been vouchsafed by Mis*
Blandish, had she not been interrupt-ed,
It is impossible lo say; but the
illnlug-rooin doors being throw n open,
the ladles scattered to their respective
rooms where they mode moat elaborate
toilets, aud were very
consequence.
Twenty-four hours later, every lady
in the house had been presented to Mr.
P. D. C. Howard, aud each and all
were delighted with him. His conde-scension
and affability aroused gratU
tude beyond words to express, hlagood
nature awakened their deepest venera-tion,
and his adaptability and ease of
■tanner stirred their wonder and en-thusiasm.
What! the nephew of an
Kagrlsk viscount could put up with all
the discomforts of au American hotel T
A noble foreigner could so quickly and
simply make himself at home In a
democratic land and amid only repub-lican
surrounding* ? Tbe ladies were
yearning to fall upon their knee* be-fore
him, to swing Incense in bis face,
and to burn the costliest wax candles
lo him, as some slight proof of and al-leviation
to their feelings. " Such he
uiguity, such unaffecteduess, such
simplicity, In a nobleman !" ecstatical-ly
exclaimed little Mrs. Lyons, who
way* addressed Mr. Plantagenet
•iaware Cavendish Howard as " My
lord." " He ha* been here just three
days, and you would think he had
known a* all his life." And then she
drew herself up short sud blushed like
a girl f>s tbe subject of her praise up
peered around the comer of the piutica.
Mia* Avis Lyons was by his side, and
he was petting and admiring on* of
her bands.
'• Just look at that baud !" he cried
as they ueared the ladles ; "Just look
at It, now !" And beheld It upOu the
palm of Oils own. " Ah, that handle
worth a fortune, Miss Avis."
" Dear, dear ! Does your lordship
really think so?" exclaimed Mrs. Ly-ons,
in a flutter, while Avis smiled
adoringly (into the young English-man's
face, and Ml** Btandlsh made
her own handsome hands a* Jealously
conspicuous as possible.
"She Is *,pretty little till ng a 11 over,"
went on Mr. P. D. C. Howard unprej-udicedly
and paternally; "but her
hands are exquisite.''
Miss Btandlsh could control herself
no longer. "I think Mrs Dashaway'a
hands are more beautiful than any I
have ever seen," she remarked dis-tinctly,
her own baud* w*U to the
fore all the while.
"Eh?—oh, Miss—er—Miss Hobos,
—you spoke, did you'—I hope you are
well this morning ;—so glad ! — uo,
don't!—oh, I thought you were going
to say, - Bo glad you're glad,' yon
know!—Charming morning, isn't it ?
Afternoon ?—yas, thank you for the in-formation—
er—Miss-Miss Dobbs."
" Here, Snap, Snap, come here, come
here I" cried Mis* Avis, looking about
ID apparent perturbation fur an Invis-ible
dog.
At which Mr. Howard remarked,
with a paternal smile, " There'* my
dear little Miss Avis calling me. Ta-ta
!" And, turning his back upou the
group, he au-J Mil* Avis went oflr>rm-in-
arm, to th« great envy of the assem-bled
ladle*.
This was a state of things Impossible
to be born by Miss Btandlsh, and ten
minute* bad not elapsed before she
found it necessary to visit the opposite
side of the piazza to see what Uie wes
tern sky promised for the morrow,
and then the remaining ladies had to
depart In search of Miss Blandish, un-til
Mr, P. D. C. Howard round himself
surrounded by nine young ladles, all
eagerly leaning toward him to catch
and treasure every Word that fell from
his lips, reminding one of a sultan in
the midst of bis harem.
Now. this magnificent Englishman,
could do everything,—or he thought
he could; he could sing a popular
song, so he called himself musloal; he
could draw a tolerable pretty face and
had seen a book on pottery, so he call-ad
himself artistic; he could And
rhymes for a couple of four lined vers-es
and had read about as little as most
young men, so be fancied himself lit-erary
aud a suet; bat this afternoon
be, felt disposed for no me of these
things.' In vain the ladies besought
and Implored,—only one song; J ust one
pretty face, a solitary verse; well,then
a light criticism on Arnold's " Light
of Asia," or the names of three or four
books for them to read. Mr. Howard
was coy; be was hoarse and couldn't
sing; he was nervous and his hand
so that be couldn't draw; his head
ached and he really mustn't tire his
brain. Among his many accomplish-ments
Mr. P. D. C. Howard reckoned
that of being a wit and an expert at
practical Jokes and on practical Jokes
liis mind was set that summer after-iiooa.
The nine young ladle* were
speedily Initialed, and the fun begau.
First, by the aid of a long flshiug pole
and much perilous scrambling on the
piazza roof, seventeen bath-sponges
were disloged from their various hooka
and were hung on the parlor chande-lier,
tbe tags on all tbe keys lo be
found in the offloe were Interchanged,
andthe office clock was turned back an
hour. These and a few other tricks of
a like nature so elated Mr. P.I).C.How-ard
that be piomised his bourles no
end offun If they would only wait until
the evening. And with the evening
came a truly Infernal dlu : rooms were
Invaded, night gowns stolen and bath-ing
suit* subsumed in their stead,
sluts were taken out of the beds, hair-brushes
put between the sheets, pep-per
on the pillows, alum on the tooth-brushes,
trunks were exohanged, and
suit water was put In the ice-water
tank. At midnight Mr.P.D.C.Howard
himself ringing a large bell, headed
a procession of young ladles, beating
tin pane, playing on Jews'- harps, and
whistling through keys and on combe,
aud led them through the length,
breath, and height of the hotel. Ta-bles
and chairs were carefully adjusted
uKaiiist the bedroom door, aud au
alarm of fire was sounded, the result
being extremely disastrous to both to
the furniture and to the bones of the
loo credulous Inhabitants of the Atlan-tic
House, and affording a flue gratis
exhibition of curl papers, dressing-gowns,
night-caps, bare foot, which
late to tea In j greeted with shouts of laughter by the
Little Jokers —so the) had named
themselves. The next performance
consisted rolling empty Jbecr and
eliaiiipagiic-hotilcs down four conse-outlve
flights of stairs, which bottle*
were the subsequent causes of hruhes
anil sprained ankles, and even broken
bones, to not a few. Tbe whole affair
wound up Ivy a grand pllow light (pro-posed
by Mis* Crawford a vigorous
blonde) at two In the morning, after
which Mr. P. 1) 0. Howard slapped
that youug lady on the back and told
her sbe was worth any oilier man at
helping to cary ou fun, an offered to
give ber boxing-lesson; which high
praise caused Miss Crawford to reddeu
With pleasure.
This Jovlul night, over, Miss Craw-ford
was coDslitued chief favorite; lit-tle
Miss Avis, being nowhere, Korone
whole day did Mr. P I). 0. Howar.l
and his fair pupil square off at daub
other, and then, the freak over, be
returned to Miss Lyons and attempt-ed
to tench her billards. This game
Miss Blandish aspired to I. am ; hut,
being to near-sighted, she drew laugh-ter
upon herself, and a most «ii|ierlor
" My dear Miss er Miss liubbs,
oh! Miss Blandish, is it? My dear
Miss Btandlsh, what a funny little
thing you are!" Wiiereupou the state-ly
Miss Btandlsh helplessly supposed
she was.
At the end of the season Mr. I'.D.C.
Howard wan carefully and inesistihl,
seized upon by Mr. uiid Mrs.Crawfi.nl,
Miss Crawiord, aud Iwo youug Craw-ford*,
and borne exultlngly through
the White Mountains as jealously
guarded us If he had been uu Eastern
sultana aud triumphantly deposited
lu thelrhouse on Commonwealth Ave-nue.
From the instant of his advent
the generous Englishman constituted
himself tbe teacher, reformer, and sav-ior
of the entire housebould : he was
shocked uud concerned at their ignor-ance,
simplicity, and proviuclalisni.
The flat went forth, aud not one of
the family dared to breakfast before
eleven, or lunch before two, or sit
down to dinner before half-past eight;
five o'clock tea was established, and
half an hour before retiring tbe ladles
brewed with their own hands a hot
whiskey-punch for the assembled com-pany.
" It Is done 1n the best I rlsh houses,"
said Mr. P. D: C. Howard, "and by
Jove! It'* an awfully Jolly thlng.don't
yer know?"
He selected a livery for the coach-man
aud groom and devised a crest
for tbe family ; be established au even-ing
game of whist with dollar points,
and laid In a supply of claret, sherry,
port, hook, and champagne, besides
whiskey, brandy, gin, rum, and liqu-eurs.
At bis command the ladies ap-peared
at dinner In full dress, and t'.ie
gentlemen In full dress coats; tbe
waitress disappeared, and a butler ami
two footmen took her place. In short
after two week* of hard and conscien-tious
labor, Mr. P. D. C. Howard te-dared
with great satisfaction that the
entire establishment had been placed
upon exactly the same footing as that
of his Intimate friend Lady Comet.
" And theie lsn,t a better mounted
house in London, by Jovo ! All the
beat-knowu men In England are at her
Sve-o'olock teas, and an invitation to
dlue there would make a noted man of
you, uo matter what kind of a cad you
were!" asserted Mr. Howard, with
sweeping impartiality. " They say
there's higher play in ber house than
in any other private house in London.
By Jove! I've seen Cbeetain writing
checks for seven thousand pounds after
an evening there.-looand eoarte. Ever
mat Lord Cheetam ?—he's in Canada
now,—coming to the States this win-ter;
you ought to know him; I've
seen bim knock a Brighton cabman
down four time* In two minutes aud
a half; he's a wonderful man,-euu
stand on his head and driuk a glass of
brandy,—ob, you ought to know bim,
don't yer know ?—you'd like bim Im-mensely,—
best boxer lu England."
As winter came on Mr. P. D. C.
Howard bad several veiy select parties
in his rooms In Mr. Crawford's house,
to which bis host was seldom Invited,
aud a great deal of the wines and
liquors so conscientiously chosen by
the nephew of the Earl of Prestonpans
was consumed at these festivals, aswell
as many of Mr. Crawford's choicest
Havana cigars. It was then aud there
that the Kiiglishiuan was taught the
abstrusegame of poker.which he found
to be an expensive study ; but becom-ing
a master instead of a scholar, he
soon had plenty of pupils, who paid
him a much more extravagant price
than ho bad laid out for the same
amount of knowledge.
Just before Cbrlstruas.Lnrd Cheetam
bursting in full splendor upon the city,
caused Mr. P. D. C. Howard's leaser
light to pale. The noble lord's mad
wager* aud athletic prowess were soon
tbe wonder and admiration of all those
with any pretence lo fashion ; these,
and bis flue figure and ready wit,
quickly eudeared him to many,—prin-cipally
(the coincidence is curious) to
mothers with marriageable daughters
and to brothers with maiden sisters;
It ir even possible that bis title may In
some measure have Increased his pop-ularity.
We Americans so love any-thing
and everything Eugllali; and
what is more genuinely, more unmis-takably
English than the title of
" lord ?"
A little later In the wluter another
nobleman dawned upon the fashion
and elite of the olty,—the second son
of tbe Dukeof Grathcrtou, Lord Tran-quil,—
simple, silent, and serious.
■' We hope to see you to-night, my
lord," said one of the young Craw fords
at the club to tbe quiet Englishman:
" you'll meet two of your own set,—
Paulagenel DeluwareCavendlsb How-ard,
nnd Lord Cheetam."
Lord Tranquil drew himself up,and,
flushing, said, " I know neither of
tbein.and have uo wish to know them :

THE TRADESMEN'S BANK OF CONSHOHOCKEN, PA.
Wo aro indebted to the Philadelphia Commercial List for the ubovo excellent wood cut of the new building- of
the Tradesmen's Bank, which appeared in the last issue of that journal. In commenting opon It the Lift says !
There are few towns in the State of the size of Conshohocken, that can compete with It in enterprise and public
spirit. It is a thrifty and an industrious place, and no better evidence can be adduced to prove thls; than the f^ct
that It possesses two strong and prosperous banks. The large business interest* of tho heavy manufacturers at this
point necessitate these two institutions for their convenience and that of the community in which they are located.
These remarks have been suggested by the opening, on the 12th Inst., of the new and commodious banking build-ing,
erected by the Tradesmen's National Bank. The Increase of their business compelled the Board of Directors
to seek quarters of ampler dimensions, and the result has been the erection of the handsome structure In which
they aro now domiciled. It stands on the corner of Fayette and Hector streets, having a front of twenty-five, and
a depth of sixty-five feet. The front is constructed of pressed brick, trimmed with Ohio buff and Connecticut
brown stone. The first floor Is devoted to the main business, and is occupied by the Receiving and Paying Tell
ers, the Cashier's room being in tho rear. Tho banking room Is finished in cherry wood. On the second floor is
the Directors' room, handsomely finished in yellow pine, and anmlrably adapted for meeting and consulting pur.
poses. The banking room is supplied with a first-class burglar-proof vault.
Tho Tradesmen*' Bank was organized ou tbe 20th of May, 1S82, with a cupilul of $ioO,uuo, and its deposits
have averaged $160,000. On the 1st or May its surplus was $4,600, and on July 1st $7,600; and on the 12th of this
month its resources amounted to $.'(07,110. Hon. John Wood is President and Win. Henry Cressoh Vice Presi-dent
and Cashier.
seen them with any friends of mine."
" Oh, bang It! then aren't you com-ing
to-nightT" cried young Crawford,
aghast and open-mouthed.
" I bug Mrs. Crawford will excuse
me. I cannot consent to meet two of
the greatest rascals in England. Mr.
Howard was turned out of all tbe Lon-don
clubs for cheating at whist, and
was compelled lo leave England after
his, attempt to blackmail his cousin,
Lady Culloden. As for Lord Cheetam,
be has been outlawed these two years :
he is a forger, and worse. T think it
right to tell you these facts, as they
must be unknown here, otherwise no
one would condescend torecoulzesuch
ours. Oood evening." And, turning
away, Lord Tranquil, for once em-phatic
and ruffled, left youug Crnw-ford
confounded and despairing, to
ruminate alone upon the possible ef-fect
such Intelligence might have up-on
his family.—LippincuU's Magazine.

THE DANGERS OF LOOSE CLOTHIHO
IN MILLS.
ing any of their friends, or aver having
When, lately, the Employers' Lia-bility
Hill was up for discussion before
the Pennsylvania Legislature, ouu of
the opponents of lbs measuie affirmed
that in tbe majority of coses where ac-cidents
occured to the workmen, the
blame is to be charged to the careless
ncs of the victim. This assertion Is
very largely sustained by the experi-ence
and observation of persons wh
are familiar with events in industriul
establishments, aud It Is as.ife nlllm
utatlon that one of the most frequent
causes of accidents III mills Is the .ooso-neas
of Ihe clothlug worn by mule uud
female operatives. A large piece of
machinery, propelled by steam power
in an active operation, is likely to be
au engine of destruction to anything
that come wllblu its grasp other tliun
the material which it was designed
to manipulate. Its method of dealing
with any part of the human body that
Is caught by It is merciless. The per-son
who becomes, In any-way, Involv-ed
with it is as helpless as if tossed up-on
tbe waves of tbe ocean. The man
therefore, who works about a revolv-ing
line of shafting with a Iocs* shirt-sleeve
or a loose blouse, or a woman
who permits the flowing skirts of her
dress to come Into juxtaposition with
moving cog-wheels takes a risk which
Is not less terrible because if, is fre-quently
taken without serious conse-quences
of auy kind, Long-oontln-ued
escape from accident, and daily
familiarity with the ordinary and
harmless operation of machinery, have
tbe effect, as Is well known, to make
mill operatives thoughtless of the pos-sible
dangers with which they envi-roned,
UecBuSe a line of shafting
never has whirled anybody to destruc-tion,
there is a sort of an undefined be-lief
that It never will do so. And yet
Intelligent men and women only have
to read the nowspaper chronicle of
casualities to discover that the Inflic-tion
of severe injury, and often death,
by tbe entanglement of clothing in
machinery, is a fate that overtakes
hundreds of working people every
year. When the loose edge of a gar.
meut happens to catch In a piece of
moving mechanism, there is little
time for removal of the olothlng, and
but little chance that ihe frabrlo will
tear and relieve tbe wearer. The op-eration
Is so unexpected that tbere is
rarely any cbauce for the threatened
person to avoid being forward to muti-lation
or death.
For their own sake, as well as for
that of the operatives, employers, es-pecially
in States where they are made
directly liable for the results of acci-dents,
should insist upon tbelr work-ing-
people avoiding ull risks of this
kiud. In winter time men who wear
an upper outside garment while al
work should lie required to assume a
close fitting jacket, with light sleeves,
preferable a knitted jacket; and in
summer time loose sleeves should be
strongly discouraged. Women who
have to move about among danger-ous
machinery ought to be directed to
contract their skirts to the narrowest
diuieusious and to wear tight sleeves.
Such requirements would be no more
harsh than that which compels men
u Hi-King In powder mills to wear wood-en
shoes without nails, or that which
forces a coal miner to -cover with wire
gauze the flame of his lamp. If these
precaution- bad uniformly and always
been the rule, many a sicaeuing scene
would have been avoided aud many a
valuable life would have been saved.
No mill owner can cover all the dan-gerous
places lu his establishment, 'or
the place of danger is nearly always
the place where the work is to be done-but
if the law is to hold owners to rig-id
liability for injuries Inflicted upon
operatives, then owners arc fully Justi-fied
In demanding of tbelr workmen
compliance with all reasonable rules
for removing risk of accident.—The

The following synopsis of a lecture
delivered by Dr. Horace It. Hamilton
before the New York society for the
promotion of science, contains so much
that Is timely and Important that It
can be read with both .Interest and
profit ;
There Is probably no subject of mod-ern
times that has caused aud is caus-ing
greater attention than tbe origin
of tornadoes. Scientist have studied
it for the benefit of humanity ; men
have Investigated It for the welfare of
their families. It has been a vexed
subject long considered, and through
allj this Investigation the cyclone has
swept across tbe land carrying de-struction
to scientist as well as the
innocent dwellers in its tracks. Una
thing, however, Is certain ; tbe cause
of tbe cyclone must be sought far away
from the whirling body Of wind Itself.
Its results are. powerful; lu cause
must also be powerful. Let us there-fore
consider a few facts. First, the
appeal,nice of a cyclone Is Invariably
preceeded by durk spots upou the fuce
of the sun. These spots, iudicatiug a
disturbed condition of thesjlar regions
necessarily affect the atmosphere of our
-earth. An unusual generation of heat
In one part of tbe atmosphere is cer-tain
to cause a partial vacuum lu an-other
portion. Air must rush In to
fill this vacuum. Hence the disturb-ances—
hence the cyclone. This theo-ry
finds additional confirmation in tbe
fact that tornadoes come during the
day and not at night. Tue dark spots
upon the surface of the sun, whatever
they may be, seem to cause great com-motion
in flic atui isphere of the world,
and It is almost certain that tbe ex-tremely
wet weather of the preseut
season can be accounted for on precise-ly
this basis. Is It reasonable to sup.
pose that the marvelous efleet of the
suu upou voguUition aud life iu gener-al
shall be less than upon the atmos-phere
itself through which Its rays
oome? The cause is remote but the
effect is here.
After describing some of the terrible
olivets of tbe cyclone, the speaker went
on to say :—
This rule finds Its application in
nearly every department of life. An

Augers, lu New York. The president
makes a silght stroke with his pen iu

whole nation is aroused by tbe act-

a <l< Unite cause and,after years of deep
experience upon this subject, I do uol
hesitate to say that this cause Is to be
found lu some derangement of the kid-neys
or liver fur it way from that por-tion
of the body in which these effsuls
appear. Hut one may say, I have no
pain whatever in my kidneys or liver.
Very true. Neither have we any evi-dence
that there is a tornado on the
surface of the HUH ; but it is none the
less certain that the tornado is here,
and it is none the Irs* certain that
these greut orguos of the body are the
cause of tbe trouble although (here
may be uo pain in tbelr vicinity.
I know whereof 1 speuk, for I huve
passed through this very experience
myself. Nearly ten years ago, I was
tbe picture of heulh, weighing more
than 1X10 pounds, and as strong and
healthy as any iiiuu I ever kuew.
Wheu I felt the sy inptoms I have above
described, they caused me annoyance
not only by reason of their aggrava-ting
nature, hut bucause 1 had never
felt any puiu before. Other doitm,
told uiu I was troubled with malaria,
aud i treated lujsill accordingly. I
did not believe .however, that malaria
coulu show such aggravated symp-toms.
It never occured to my that
uuuly-is would help to solve the trou-ble,
as 1 did not presume iny uilll -ul-ly
was locales' iu thai portion of the
body, lint co.iliuiiial to grow uoi»e-
I hud a laiiit sens.ilioii ul Ihe pit of
my sloiuuch nearly every day. I felt
a great desire to eat, and yet I loathed
food. 1 was constantly tired and yet
I could uot sleep. Aly bruin was uu-usually
active, but I could not think
oonnectedly. My existence was u llv
lug misery. I continued iu this con-dition
for nearly a year; never free
from pain, never fur a moment. Such
existence ,„ fur worse tliau death, for
which I earnestly longed.
It .MIS while suffering thus that a
friend advised me to make a Dual at-tempt
to recover my health. 1 sneer-ed
Inwardly ut bis suggestion, but I
was loo weak to make any resistance.
He furnished me with a remedy sim-ple
yet palatable aud within two days
IJob-erved a;sllgbt change for the bet-ter.
This awakened ray courage. I
felt that I would notdieat that time. I
continued to the remedy, taking it In
accordant with direction, uutll I be-came
not only restored to my former
health and strength, but of greater
vigor than lever before known. This
condition continued up to the present
time, and I believe I should have died
as miseralbly as thousands of other
meu have died aud are dying every
day had it uot beeu for tbe simple yet
wonderful power of Warner's Bate
Cure, the remedy I employed.
The lecturer then described his
means of restoration more iu detail,
and concluded as follows :
My complete recovery has caused;uie
to Investigate tue subject more care-fully,;
and I believe I have discovered
the key to most 111 health of our mod-ern
civilisation. I am fully confident
that four-fifths of the diseases which
afflict humanity might be avoided
were the kidneys and liver kept in
perfect condition. Were It possible to
ooutrol tbe action of the sun, oyclones
could undoubtedly be averted. Thot|
however, Is one of the things that can-not
be. But I rejoice to say that it is
possible to control the kidneys and
liver; to render their action wholly
normal, and their effect upon the sys-tem
that of purifiers rather tbau of
poisoners. That this end has been ac-complished
largely by means of tbe
remedy I have named I do not have a
doubt, and I feel It my duty to make
this open declaration for the enlight-enment
of the profession and for the
benefit of suffering humanity lu all
parts of the world.
