Sorrow and sickness is the too common
heritage of humanity, and when we see
how little is done to alleviate the miserles
of the great mass of humanity we are al
most out of patience with life. Even where
the intentions are best. ignorance is prone
to bid the afflicted "su Ter and be strong
instead of administering to the mind dis
eased." or laying a hand OF healing on the
poor tortured body.
All when Science and Philanthropy
love and sympathy and skill, come to the
aid OF the sufferers, they feel as if the angel
of anaunCatiOn had drawn near.
Samaritan Nervine really is salvation TO
thousands. speak from full heart when
] say it. for friends very near and dear to
me have been restored To health and happl-
ness by means of it.
God bless DR.. Richmond" said one of
them to me the other day. Il feel as l
know the man mentioned in Scripture
must have felt when he went from JeruSl-
len, tn Jericho aud fell among thieves, and
when robbed and at the point OF death was
befrended and restored TO health by the
Good Samaritad.'
"Yes." he continued, that was exactly
nv condition. had spent a fortune in
doctors bills and patent medicines. Every
thing ] could hear of tried, so desperate
was my situation, but | grew worse steal
ily, until some kind friend told me of the
Samaritan Ncrvine. Since taking 1t am,
as you see, restored to perfect health.
With such incOntrovertible proof OF the
beneticent nature of the remedy, it is not
strange that an editor, always sol'cltOuS Tor
an accurate knowledge OF what could bene-
fit the world in general, should take the
earliest opportunity of visiting the lnyen'
tor and proprietor of the medicine at the
| Worlds EpileptiC Institute.
We found the doctor in his elegant priv
ate office busily engaged in experimenting
| the gentlemen whose business ii is u at
| tend TO the details OF the immense CORE.
| spondcnCe which is natural result OF his
widespread reputation.
On making known our wishes he very
| kindly accompanied us in our tour OF in
| SpcCtion through the magnificent building
| and grounds
| Almost as soon as we entered the office
our attention was arrested by wonderful
collection of photographs, numbering
| somewhere in the thousands. All nations,
! ages and stations were represented. The
! ELEGANT carte Of the society leader was side
| by side with the picture Of the humble arti-
! san: innocent childhood and withercd old
age showed in their counterfeit present
ments the gratitude they could not speak
! doctors, lawyers, ministers OF the gospel,
! soldiers, labOrcrs, plain mothers OF iaml.
| lies naughty children OF wealth. rlch anu
poor, high and low. black and white, all
| were represented. 1t reminded me OF the
miracle cures of Europe, only instead OF
! the crutChes, bandages, gold, silver and
wax images of the reCuperated pilgrims,
! left before the shrine OF the miracle worker
/ DR.. Richmond has rs testimonials the pic
lures of his deeply grateful patients.
You must feel very happy, doctor, when
YOU look at this collection we saik.
"Ahi YES" said the doctor, pleasantly
"but if you like my Art Gallery, what
would you say to my Library
He led the way to the next apartmcnts
and we followed, expecting only 10 see per-
hans one bookcase filled With dusty tones
of abstract science. Instead, the walls
were lined with very handsome bookcases,
containing over one hundred thousand I'M
solicited testimonials from those whom the
! Nervine had cured.
How wonderfully fortunate as well as
talented you are, we exclaimed IN amaze
| ment. The Nervine has proved perfect
| gold mine ,,,
The doctor looked at US rcproachfully.
~ am not one 10 underestimate the value
of wealth" he answered, for have known
what il is TO be without it, but what is the
most colossal fortune that was ever in the
qrasp of mortal man in comparison TO the
GOOD my remedy is doing? Picture TO
Yourself, if you can. what must be the
feeling of an epileptic. Think of him
with his dreadful disease so long pro-
nounced incurable. He can not take part
in the studies, duties, employments, recre-
atoms or amusements of an ordinary fellow
being. lie is an objet OF horror rather
than of pity to his friends. His malady
never stands still; it is constantly grow
ing worse aud more dreadful in all its
phases. Last and most dreadful before
him stands the awful phantom OF insanity.
Sleeping or waking he feels that it's there,
and thai sooner or later it will clutch him !;
and it does. An epileptic must be; like
Job, tempted to curse Heaven and die.
/ Why. il would bring tears 10 your, eyes TO
read letterI received from gentleman at
| Potsdam, New York, telling how ne hal
two thousand dreadful fits in eighteen
months and is now, thanks TO the Neryine,
entirely cured. That poor fellow can
scarcely find words strong enough to ex'
press his feelings. That's the kind OF u
thing to make a man feel happy"
