MORE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR
Heinitsh's Queens Delight.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "The
1L Queens Delight is beginning to
awaken the attention of our physicians.
Its remarkable curative power is seen in
ITS wonderful effect upon disease. As
blood purifier, there is no medicine like il
known to the profession. A gentleman
told me that his son has been taking the
Queens Delight, and is moro benefited nv
1t than by any other medicine. He wants
a dozen bottles"
Extract from 1t letter: "It is due to YOU
to state in this public manner, in order
that the people may know tho truth that
l have tried your Queens Delight, and
found 1t not only what you said it was-.'a
pure medicine"-but the bes: medicine I
have ever taken for eruptions and general
bad health. l had an eruption all over nv
body: with impaired digestion and disor-
derea liver, and have tried great many
medicines without any benefit. I have
taken one bottle Of your Queens Delight,
the eruption has disappeared, my appetite
is better, my liver and digestion is i'm
proved. | am satisfied ono or two more
bottles will cure me.''
Extract from letter: cat the close of
the war, my constitution was shattered. 1
could not cat, sleep or perform anv duty
whatever, such was my PROSTATE condi-
tion. Medicine and medical aid had in
abundance, such was my condition up to a
few months since, when began the use of
your Queens Delight. 1 have used two
bottles, my constitution is greatly i'm
ing sleep, and am able to perform my share
of daily labor"
Extract from letter-Wonderful effect
Of only ono bottle: 81 have used only a
half bottle OF Queens Delight for boils
and eruptions of the skin and itching hu-
mors OF the blood, which annoyed me very
much. / am entirely cured. i think your
medicine a valuable onen
"A remarkable case OF liver complaint and
headache cured by tho use of "Heinitsh's
Queens Delight" A lady of unouestioned
worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes-
timony OF the wonderful effects of this
medicine. She has been from early wears
a martyr to headaches, caused by imper.
feet action Of the liver, producing intense
headache and pain over the eyes. She has
taken only four bottles, and assures us of
the perfect cure it has made. She now en-
joys good health.
Still another: During last spring, had
been troubled with obstinate chills and
fover, which, when cured, left my system
in wretched condition, blood impure, and
was afflicted with all angry, and, as 1 at
one time thought, an incurable, cutnneous
eruption over my entire body. The most
violent remedies suggested failed to work
cure, until, at the instance OF friend,
tried DR.. Heinitsh's Queens Delight. Less
than two bottles cured me, leaving INV skin
in healthy condition. Ny general health
is as good as ever. For such purposes, |

CLoAKs FOR SEPTEMBER. ap-
proach of cooler weather has brought
out the black silk cloaks and paletots,
which, whatever may be the caprices
of fashion, says Mad. Demorest's
Magazine, form always safe and
standard garment for spring and fall
wear. Suits are, of course, as much
worn as ever-more, in fact; for the
toilet en- suite is just now the most cor
rect costume for the promenade, espe-
c1ally when it is made complete + 2
bonnet, parasol, gloves, etc., all of
the same color. But it will not do
for ceremonious visiting. For this
purpose u rich trained dress is re-
quired, and when it becomes too warm
for lace shawls and burnoose, the most
convenient garment is q handsome
black silk cloak, and this will do to
wear with any colored dress.
The new silk cloalzs are made some
what longer than last season, and are
all the more graceful in consequence.
The short sacks and paletots seem to
be properly confined to suits, for
which alone they are adapted.
The prettiest cloaks are somewhat
cut in, but not fitted to the figure,
and are frequently confined by q wide
sash, which is tied ut the back in a
large bow, and allowed to hang in
floating ends, to which are attached
jet ornaments
There is shape also which is called
the Cardinal; it is cut like a long,
straight sack; but it is usually Van
dyked deeply around the bottom, and
left open at the sides, which gives it
eose.
All silk cloaks are richly trimmed
with lace passementerie, which is a
kind of lace gimp silk, jet fringe and
jet ornaments.
A very handsome long black silk
casaque is cut in narrow gored
breadths, each breadth rounded and
scalloped at the bottom. The scallops
are richly embroidered with silk let,
and edged with fringe. The casaaue
is half fitting, and tied with sash at
the back.
