and return to the lieutenant with them.
"Pm nfeared that the doctors will kick

placed the medicine in Il b cabin orderly's

turned to enter the cabin.
There was no cessation in the storm that
evening. The gale howled through the rig
ging in wild, discordant tones; the great ship
abored through the white capped noun
tains of water threatened TO engulph Her

creets,. Within the admirars cabin the Ar
band lights, the comfortable furniture, and
the numerous evidences of the admirals
wanderings over land and water, as displayed
in choice bric-a-brac and trimmings, gave
10 the room warm, snuG appearance, most
pleasing this wild hight to those within. In
his statefaeni lay the admiral, made COM
Portable by ali that Loving hands and willing
hearts could suggest By his side sat his
son, who i'll auiet Voice was recounting to
bic father the interview 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 30, in spite of your condition, by the
intense dislike displayed by the doctors for
this 'new-fanaed stuff, this patent liquid
which they declared with their consent
Should never be given to you. WE'LL. l cut
the matter short by saying that would take

under way with the first bottle as per direc-
tions. l am satisfied. dear father, that it
will do you good, premonition filing my
heart that at last we have found the means
of arreBting the burning fever and hacking
cough winch have been troubling you SO
much.'
Iht admiral's reply was cut short by
severe smell of coughing, during which he
spat blood, and when finished sank back ex-
hausted. But the grateful look which he be.
slowed on his son was an additional asstr-
ance of belief in that which the admiral had
Mt first sight dubbed as possible but doubt
ful me lns OF doing him any good. But lay
ing aside his dislike for any but old-estab.
lished 10 nedies, the admiral acquiesced in
his sons rogue t, and now, af.er this last
spell, admitted that the effect of the dose
had softened the dreaded severity of the
eeacking cough.
Three weeks later found the Non,ad MAX
ing the harbor of Montevideo. After severe
md prolonged weather she had rounded the
Cape and was now standing In the harbor
for the purpose of fecoaling and watering.
To one given to the study of human linel-
ments the faces of those aboard the flagship
this bright morning would have afforded in
finite scope for such pursuit. But the source
of each mans happiness flowed from the
same fountain of eful JOY. The beloved
admiral was the cause of this. And why?
If you 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 enemy was S owly
retreating! The fight was severe o, ., but
with no cessation in vigilant action and care
full application of the contents of forr
bottles the admiral had turned the flank of
consumption, and was slowly but surely
driving him off tie fed with power which
astounded the doctors and filled all hearts
with JOY and thankfulness.
What was this then that had won the vic
tory for the seaman Brown, and was now
leading the admiral's shattered forces to the
same grand result? When asked this Ques-
ton by one of his officers on duty, in Mon
tevideo, the admiral, slowly lifting his hand,
replied, II would that in letters of gold, and
SO placed that all the world could read them,
the name of this great remedy could be
shown, coupled with the genius who discov.
cred it-THE GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY.

Well might the admiral sing the praises OF
that which had SO Unexpectedly rescued hin,
from fatal illness. When the ship anchored
the first commission for the admirals son to
execute was large purchase of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which, ast the adj
miral sadly admitted, he had seen in every
port the world around and had only admired
as an evidence of the energy and enterprise
of an American who could thus place his

and corner of the globe. But now lie was

officials who visited him.
A week later and the Non,ad sailed for
Boston direct. What the condition of the
admiral was when she arrived there is shown
in his letter above. Let it be recorded to the
credit of the doctors on the flagship that
they were completely cured of all dislike for
the Golden Medical Discovery, used it faith
fully on the voyage to Boston, and landed,
through its wonderful power, the admiral
completely restored; and more than one poor
fellow who started out in the sick bay of the
Nomad. What stanch friends the Golden
Medical Discovery made in that ship!
The above, reader, is an outline of the
story, sp IN by the admiral to his friend when
they met at the dinner. We will not touch
on othe portions of his interesting recital
of his cruise in general, our aim being to re-
cord his testimony for the greatest wonder
in medical science that this nineteenth CEN

world-famed remedy to the public, Dr.
Pierce thought favorably of calling it his
