SCARLET FEVER Livery mother has
peculiar dread of this wclI-known disease,
and there is scarcely any malady of those
commonly knowu to the people that she
would not prefer to see in the house.
There is hardly family in which there is
not some fatal story Of its ravages, and the
chronicle Of two or three or more children
dead on the same day is not an uncommon
one. Some doctors report that in this, as
in other diseases, they "ncvar lost q CASE"
Perhaps they are in the position Of tho
doctor whom an over-sensatiye father called
for his frs,-born. He wanted a doctor
who saved his patients, and ho obtained
somewhere or other magical mirror, in
which he could see, as he stood on each
doctors doorstep, the list of that Doctors
victims in their shrouds Amazed at the
professions he saw in his glass as he stood
ut the doors Of the most famous doctors, he
went from house to house 10 the hope Of
better results He stood at last at tho
door of doctor at whose namo thcro OPP
pcored only two tender little victims. He
called this physician, lost his child, and
found that by subsequent investigation
that when he called him that the doctor
had been in practice two days and had had
just two patients. If these two had not tho
scarlet fever he had not, up to that time,
lost case of that disease.

BARNEsvILLE, o., April 19. 1873.
DR.. EdeoaYd Fishblatt: 1 feel since you
have performed such a wonderful cure,
like thanking you for the good you have
done. For eighteen years L was deaf. to
all natural sounds, without any knOwl-
edge or appreciation of the harmony of
the world around. I had suffered from
Catarrh, which ended in deafness, so that
1 have never been able to distinguish the
striking of clock or the ringing of the
city bell. But you came here. and like
the magieian's wand, your akill has re-
moved the trouble. no longer suffer
from Catarrh, and whereas was deaf I
now hear, seven unto the ticking of a
clock.'' The contrast between my condi-
tion now and before was placed under
your treatment is very great-almOst a
mental and physical revolution, as it were,
and of course gratitude for the cure you
have wrought has a permanent place in
my thoughts. I hope you may be instru-
mental in making similar cures here and
elsewhere, and serve as a blessing to suf
fering humanity.

The unexpected news of the death of
our beloved pastor, P. LECLERE HASKELL,

We fondly anticipated the day when

With mute resignation we bow to the
providence of the good Father. To the
grief-strieken partner and relatives of our
beloved PASTOR, we tender the sympathies
of the grief-stricken Church of Jeffer-
sonville.
1t was resolved that the Church edifice
be draped in mourning and memorial
services held; also, that a copy of the
above be sent to the relatives of the de.
ceased and one for publication in the Sta,
