nR.J.C. YOUNG: DEAR Sir Words cannot

invaluable course of treatment of my case
while prescribing for me. think I cannot
justify myself without giving this small token
of my thankfulness and esteem for you have

ing to me that health which had so long
despaired of again enjoying. had for long
time -four years,) been troubled with that
most dreadful scourge of young people, sem
nal weakness or nocturnal emmissiOns, which
so weakened me, both body and mind. that |
was obliged to give up mining altogether. |
consulted one of the best physicians $50 call
ed) in the mountain districts, and after a
careful examination Of my case, he gave me
medicines. l continued under his treatment
for three months without receiving any bene-
tit, in fact | grew worse from week to week,
until at last | got discouraged and asked him
for his opinion. | told him not to fear to tell
me the whole truth, for should rather know
the worst at once, than to live in suspense |
had lost about thirty pounds of flesh, and
knew that he at least could not cure me, and
as was then going on. death must soon count
me as one of it's victims. This physician then
told me that my case was incurable; that
had better not take any more medicines. he
said | was in decline which was fast tending
to pulmonary consumption.
/ then despalred Of obtaining any relief
and saw that unless something was done to
mitigate the complaint that should be mum
bered with the dead. or what is worse, be
raving maniac. Happening to see one OF
your books, the Pocket Eculapius, made up
my mind at once to call and consult you with
the determination Of trying once more to get
relief if you would undertake the case. Oh
how thankful am for that det rmination! |
commenced taking the medicines prescribed
by you and am now, through their healing
powers. restored to perfect health. shall not
fail to recommend you to any of my friends
that require assistance, for man that can
cure a case as bad as mine was. can cure every
disease that flesh is heir to. if there is life
enough left in the system to build upon.

An Interesting Question Settled.

On the authority of Col. Lloyd and Capt.
Falmar. who, in 1927, by order of Bolivar,
made a series of levels fIOm Panama to
Chagres, it has been very generally believed
that there existed difference of mean level
between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and
many ingenious theories have been devised to
account for this (supposedD fact, and elaborate
deductions in favor and against the practica-
bility of ship canal have been drawn there
from.
The difference of the mean height of the
two oceans was stated to be 3.52-the Pacific.
at Panama being that much higher than the
Atlantic at Chagres.
1t has been lately decided by Col. Totten,
after series of careful tidal observations
taken here and in Aspinwall (Navy Bay) and
connected by accurate levels along the line OF
railroad. that the mean hight of the two
oceans is exactly the same, although. owing to
the difference in the rise of tide at both places
there are. Of course. times when one of the
oceans is higher or lower than the other; but
their mean ievel. that is to say, their hight al
half tide, is now proven to be exactly the
same.
There is no doubt that Col. Lloyd's error
arose from imperfection in his instruments
and the difficulty he labored under in taking
a large number Of observations in which mis-
takes are peculiarly liable to occur.
