ly refused to get any more medicine. was dis
gusted with medicine. had tried many different
medicines without being helped by any. Finding
that 1 was not to be persuaded, he bought some of
your Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic himself,
and brought them to me. at first refused to touch
them. I did not want to be experimental on, but
finally consented to them merely to satisfy him.
not that expected they would do me any good.
commenced taking the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, and to my great surprise felt almost imme-
date relief and encouraged to continue using
them. My condition improved under their suse,
until in time grew perfectly well, no trace of the
disease remaining. My lungs had healed up and
grew stronger than ever. 1 was permanently cured,
as have had no trouble with my lungs since that
time.

symptoms-cough, night sweats, great debility and
loss of flesh. l reduced in weight from one
hundred and fifty pounds to eighty pounds. had
given up all hope of recovery, when l was told by
Mr. James Seaman that he had used your medicines
with good effect, and he advised to give them a
trial, although do not think he believed they would
cure me, for 1 sick at this time that no one
thought that would ever get WELL 1 thought how
ever, that they might give temporary relief and
with this object L commenced TO your Pumonic
Syrup. 1 had not taken it two days before 1 felt
great relief, especially in the severity of my cough
I then took the Mandrake Pills and Seaweed
Tonic, and in two weeks my appetite came
back, and l began to gain strength. 1
took your medicine for about three months. 1

Your medicines made perfect cure, and have
been in good health since. 1 do not know that

your medicines to be good and that they will do all
that you say they will do. Yours Very Truly,

Odd Things Taken from Wrecks.
From the New York Sun.


Inc coast wrecking company has in
Its office IN this city curious collection
OF relics from old wrecks and other odd
bits taken from the sea. The collection
embraces quaint pieces of furniture, ex-
ploslve shells and shells of the ocean,
shreds of ladies' dresses, rude weapons
OF savage races, huge star fish, and many
curious things, the use and purpose of
which are still unknown. The collec-
tlon contains the broken bell brought up
from the Inflated steamer Atlantic. of
the White Star line, which was wrecked
on the Golden Rule Rock, on the NOVA
Scotia coast, on April l, 1873, with a
loss OF 557 out of ,007 souls on board.
Ihere Is also rusty, hiltless sword,
dug out OF the sand eight years ago, near
the hulk of the British bark Thistle.
which was lost on Squan Beach, n. j. !,
in I'LL. There are also several bot
ties OF sweet oil, holding a pint and a
half each, with the original corks intact,
and the oil as clear as crystal, taken in
November, 1877, from the wreck of the
British bark Robert, which went down In
1874, with a cargo of lead and oil and
i've OF her crew, on the place where At
lantlc City now stands. There is South
Sea Island canteen, ingeniously con-
structed of cocoanut shells, which was
fished up from a wreck in seventy feet
OF water on the coast of Maine; also a
mussel shell firmly imbeddedfour inches
IN depth in a well which was found 14O
feet above the sea level on the Jersey
coast; also q pelican's skull and bill,
measuring two feet from back to tip
(maklng an excellent though wide dip
per-, which was found near the wreck of
the bark Robert Fletcher, on the south
beach of Long Island, and which is said
to have been used to bail out the boat by
the crew when endeavorlng to escape.
The jaws of shark killed on the South
Carolina coast, which have been pre-
served can easily be passed over the
shoulders and down the body of a full
grown man. One of the most curious
relics is lamp chimney taken from the
remains of the ironclad Merrimac. Oys-
tiers three inches long were attached to
the glass, and four large oysters which
had grown about the brass base of the
chimney, form an irregular square.
The hits of several swords and some
old firearms are also encrusted with
oyster shells.
