examination agreed that my case was hopeless.
They informed my wife that | had better be told

short for arranging worldly affairs. They also said
that no medicine would be of any to me. The

MR. HARLEY p. HoPKiNs who writes tie fore
going letter to DIR. Schenck of Philadelphia is an
old resident of Providence. l have known him well
for the last fifteen years, and assure the public
that all he has in regard TO his sickness and
recovery is strictly true. He was considered con-
sumptve IN the last stages of the disease by his phy
stefan and friends, and believe that his recovery
IS entirely due to the use of DR.. Sehenck's Medi-
cines.
