his son there on the poop deck an say what

the admiral to Try the stuff III my bottles. seem
that they cured NV consumption.
This idea met with approval from all Sides
Therefore Brown walked off for the interview
with the admirals son, with no little anxiety III
his good heart as to the result of his mission.
Approaching the lieutenant, Brown saluted.
and asked for permission to state his reasons
for doing so. This was readily granted, and
Brown spoke out.
'ESeeing that was once cured of consump-
ton, lieutenant. make bold to ask If can tell
you how, an why I've the reasons for wishing
YOU to use on your father what was my saliva
ton"
In few moments the lieutenant had Browns
story out and much to the latter's qualification,
granted ready permission to him. 1t did not
take Brown long to run to his ditty box, get
the bottles of medicine, and return to the lieu
tenant with them.
"Pm afeared that the doctors will kick ag'in
the use of this blessed stuff, an what wild you
do SIR said Brown, as he placed the medicine
III the cabin orderly's hands to be taken into
the admlrals room.
81 will attend to that Brown, and rest as
sured that YOUR remedy will have fair trial IN
spite of any opposition. 1t will not harm my
father Judging from your statement and the
opinion of the medical officers of the Ranger"
to weather his trouble, is the prayer of all the
ship" said Brown, as the lieutenant turned to
enter the cabin.
There was no cessation in the storm tina
evening. The gale howled through the rigging
in wild, discerdant tones; the great ship labored
through the white-capped mountains of water
which threatened to engulf her with each
burst of their storm-whipped crests. Within
the admirals cabin the Argand lights, the
comfortable furniture. and the numerous evil
dences of the admiral's wanderings over land
and water, as displayed 10 choice bric-a-brac
and trimmings gave to the room warm,
snug appearance, most pleasing this wild
night to those within. In his stateroom lay
the admiral, made comfortable by all that
loving hands and willing hearts could sug-
gest. By his side sat his son, who IN quiet
voice was recounting to his father the inter
view with Brown, and the opposition met with
from the doctors when the idea OF giving this
new medicine was preached.
"You were sleeping at the time, father, and
therefore missed laughable scene, made SO,
in spite OF your condition, by the intense dis
like displayed by the doctors for this new
tangled stuff, this patent hqsld, which they
declared should never with then consent be
given to you. Well. / cut the matter short by
saying that would take all the responsibility
and with VOlIT' permission would administer it.
That obtained when found you awake, and
now you are under way with the first bottle
as per directions. / am satisfied, dear father,
that it will do you good, premOnltlon filing my
heart, that at last we have found the means
of arresting the burning fever and hacking
cough which have been troubling you so
much"
The admnals reply was cut short by Sc
we're spell of coughing, during which he spat
blood, and when finished sank back exhaust
ed. But the grateful look which he bestowed
on his son was an additional assurance of be-
lief IN that which the admiral had at first
sight dubbed as q possible but doubtful means
of doing him any good But laying aside his
dislike for any but old-established remedies,
the admiral acquesced IN his sons request,
and now, after this last spell, admitted that
the effect of the dose bad softened the dread
ed severity of the racking cough.
Three weeks later found the Nomad making
the harbor of Montevideo. After severe and
prolonged weather 81 c had rounded the Cape
and nov was standing III the harbor for the
purpose OF recoaling and watering. To one
given to the study of human lneaments the
faces of those aboard the flagship this bright
morning would have afforded infinite scope for
such pursuit. But tie source of each mans
happiness flowed from the same fountain of
grateful joy. The beloved admiral was the
cause of this. And why +? If y0u could have
seen the admiral this bright morning, dear
reader, your answer would have been easily
found in his face. A changed man was he
Victory was perched on his guidons the dread

severe one, but with no cessation in vigilant
action and careful application Of the contents
of four bottles the admiral had turned the flank
of consum ptiOn. and was slowly but surely
driving him off the field with power which
astounded the doctors and filed ali hearts with
10y and thankfulness.
What was this then that had won the victory
for the seaman Brown, and was now leading
the admlrals shattered forces TO the same
grand result? When asked this question by
one of his officers on duty, ID MOntevideo, the
admiral, slowly lifting his hand, replied, j
would that in letters or gold, and so placed that
all the world could read them, the name of this
great remedy could be shown, coupled with
the genius VINO discovered it, THE GOLDEN

Well might the admiral sing the praises of
that which had SO unexpectedly rescued him
from fatal illness.

The foregoing, reader, is an outline of the
story spun by the admiral to his friend when
they met at.the dinner. We wi Il not touch on
other portions Of his interesting recital of his
cruise IN general, our aim being to record his
testimony for the greatest wonder IN medical
science that this nineteenth century of surpris-
ing developments has produced.

Golden Medical Discovery over that terribly
fatal disease consumption, which is scrofula of
