tender care replaces the tender budding
in its mother S arms. The brother greets
his sister with cold and constrained kiss,
while the youth who has been watching
the door for half a day, would give his
birthright for the same privilege that is
sighted by fraternal love. The grey
haired man raises his hands above the
head Of his grand child, and while i'm
ploring the blessing of the Most High
upon the darling OF his heart, kisses its
forehead, and smiles through his tears of
love. The burning kiss Of deep aifec

from the chosen Of his soul, exceeds not

But at length they came

SIR Influenced by sense of duty owe
TO mankind, would respectfully request the
insertion In your paper of the following state
ment Of my illness and recovery from con-
sumption During the fall of 1854 L was
violently affected with cold, followed by a
dlsagreeable cough, which continued some
months, being increased by each additional
cold Towards the last of January, 1855, a
severe pain commenced in the right side below
the collar bone, accompanied with severe
cough night and day. had great difficulty
In breathing and coughed up thick yellow
matter, occasionally mixed with blood. My
strength and flesh wasted away, and suffer.
ed with night sweats. chills, and all the symp-
toms of confirmed hectic fever Under these
circumstances could not doubt but my lungs
were very much affected, and had no hope
OF recovery. Upon IN examination of my
chest at this time, a large cavity was detected
in the right lung underneath the collar bone.
Such was the state of my case on the LIST of
June, 1893, with the symptoms increasing in
violence, when was advised by my physician
to try the virtue of inhalation under the di-
rection of Doctor Hunter, of No. 50 North
Charles street, Baltimore. had not long to
wait for evidence of improvement. The cough
soon became less severe, the matter was raised
from the lungs without much effort, sleep be-
came sweet and refreshing, appetite returned,
flesh increased, and soon had the evidence
that was on the road to improvement NV
friends also discovered the improvement, and
would remark, "Evans will get we'll" 1t is
now about ten months since was put under
treatment by DR.. Hunter, have been grad
ually improving ever since so much so that
consider myself cured. 1 am able to discon-
tinuo treatment, and do my regular days
work. should have said that the fact of
cavity having been in my lungs is made evident
by my chest being considerably sunken where
it existed.
Under these circumstances feel it my duty
to earnestly recommend all persons afflicted in
the same manner as myself, to apply at once
to Drs. Hunter Williams, 50 North Charles
street, Baltimore, where, L feel assured, they
will be perfectly satisfied.
Yours, respectfully, LEVI EVANS.
