is unequaled, not only as a remedy for con-
umption of the lungs, but for all chronic
diseases OF the liver, blood, kidneys and
lungs. Golden Medical Discovery cures all
hnmors, from the worst scrofula to a com
mon blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipe-
las, salt-rheum, fever-sores, scaly or rough
skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease
germs in the blood, are conquered by this
powerful, purifying and invigorating medi-
cine. Great eating ulcers rapidly heal under
its benign influences. Especially has it
manifested its potency in curing letter, rose
rash, boils, ~carbuncles, sore eyes, scrofulous
sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre
or thick neck, and enlarged glands.
"The blood is the life" Thoroughly

Golden No dical Discovery, and good diges-
ton, q fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength and soundness of constitution are
established.
For weak lungs. splitting of blood, short
breath, consumptive night-sweats and kin
dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In
the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and
consumption, it has astonished the medical
faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce
it the greatest medical discovery of the age.
The nutritive properties possessed by cod
liver oil are trifling when compared with
those of the Golden Medical Discovery. 1t

The reader will pardon the foregoing di-
erosion, prompted by our admiration for n
remedy that performs such marvellous cures,
and permit us to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the only
cloud cast upon the happiness of the reunion
with his family was caused by the continued
illness of his eldest son, a young man of
tSenty-four, whose disease, when the ad-
miral sailed from Montevedio, had been re-
ported as succumbing to the treatment of
the family doctor. But his father thought it
otherwise; the unfortunate young man was
suffering severely from chronic dis ease of
the kidneys and bladder. Before leaving
Boston the admiral had purchased a copy of
DIR. Pierce's book. "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" He read this val
liable book thoroughly, and upon his arrival
home had made up his mind as to the future
treatment for his son. The latter was sent
to the famous Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N.
Y, conducted by DIR. r. V. Pierce, and his
competent staff of SPECIALISTS, where, under
skillful treatment, the sufferer soon found
relief and a permanent cure.

Electric Shocks for Baking Horses.

1t is thought that a new cure has
been discovered for baking and crib
bing horses by the application of cleo
tricity. A gentleman of Baltimore,
who has a horse subject to baking,
placed an electric battery, with an in
duction coil, in his buggy and ran the
wires to the horses bit and crupper,
and as soon as the horse came to a
standstill the current was turned on.
and after the horse was relieved of
this shock, it is said, he proceeded
without showing any disposition to
balk. The same application was sue
cessfully made to a horse who INDUCED
in cribbing, whereof he was Oon cured
through the unpleasantness OF the
electric shock. Those who have balk-
ing or cribDing horses may give the
foregoing a trial.

Mn dear Friend-Your kind favor con-
tanning congratulations on my restoration to
health is before me. When we parted thirty
months ago little did we imagine that either
would be brought near deaths door by a dis
ease which selects for its victims those who
present an internal field of constitutional
weakness for its first attack, because youand
/ we're in those days the personification OF
health-and can claim this to-day thank Godl
Why l can do so will be told tomorrow, when
we meet at your dinner, as you only know
that l nave passed through a terrible illness;
my delivery from death being due to the
wonderful discovery in medical science,
made by a man who to-day stands in the
front rank of his fellow workers-unequaled
by any in my own opinion. That l, who
heretofore have ever been the most orthodox
believer in the old school of medicine, Its
application and results, should thus recant
in favor of that which is sneered at by old
practitioners, may startle you, but seeing Is
believing" and when | recount the attack
made ON my old hulk, how near | came to
lowering my colors, and the final volley
which, through the agency above mentioned,
gave me victory. you will at least credit me
with just cause for sincerity i'll my thankful
ness and belief. l will also spin my yarn
anent my China cruise, and altogether, ex-
pect to entertain as well as be entertained
by you. With best wishes,

Making q Nose.

In an obscure part of the Bellevue
hospital yard there is a photograph
gallery which has become an important
adjunct to that institution. The photo
grapher is o. G.. Mason. He has Il
long beard which, with his round
velvet cap and apron, gives him the
appearance of an alchemist of the
middle ages.
Il have been here since 1863" said
the photographer. Before that time
rare cases IN the hospital were photo
graphel by amateurs, but the results
were not satisfactory. The use of
photography in making permanent
records of the various stages of diseases
and of their treatment has become q
very important feature of surgery-so
important, indeed, that it would not
now be easily dispensed with. Not
only are patients suffering from
various forms of disease brought under
the camera, but also the surgical
instruments used, their construction
and the method of their application
Mr.. Mason showed the reporter a
series of photographs illustrating the
successive stages of an important
operation. The first picture showed
the condition of a boy who, when
brought into the hospital, had nc nose.
His mouth was distorted and partly
absorbed and the flesh beneath the
eyes was drawn down upon the cheeks.
"The boys face was in lal shape,
as you see," the photographer contin-
ued, "and the surgeons began to make
his face over for him. The next pic
ture shows how they build up the
lower borders of the eyes, which then
have a natural appearance. The next
illustration shows the fleet of the op-
Grafton that was made to bring the
lips into proper position, and widen
them. Now the next to be done was
to make a nose. The surgeons made
a pocket at the lower part of the fore
head, between the eyes, and after re-
moving the nail from the middle fin
ger of the left hand, they inserted it
in the incision and bound his hand to
his face. This picture here shows the
position Of the hand at this stage of
the operation. AS the hand was
across his mouth so that he was I'M
able to breathe freely, an opening was
made, rs you see, in the trachea, and
a tube inserted. After some days the
finger was amputated just above the
middle joint, the new nose was
trimmed and made to unite with the
flesh on the cheeks on either side.
Quite a respectable nose, is it not +?
That young man is now an assistant
in one of the city hospitabls, and few
persons would imagine that he was
wearing one of his middle fingers on
his face"
The hospital photographer also
takes photographs of all the unknown
deal who are brought to the morgue.
He places the colin containing the
dead body in an upright position in an
angle of the morgue building, and
makes a photograph of the face

Our Reporfer's Vacation Notes.

DuR1sG his rainbles this season. our Mr.. M. has
taken upon himself the task of satisfying our num-
crous readers that whatever goods are manufactured
in our goodly city of Roger Williams. are of rs high

any spot on the globe. Especially IS this so when
the skilled Pharmacist of many years experience
resolves to extract from the finest botanical speci-
mems of the vegetable world the most potent cure
for some special disease. In proof of his assertion
that Providence, X. l., affords the best. he relates an
interview with an acquaintance, given him while So
journing temporarily at her residence. She says:
About n year l suffered severely with rheumatism
in my limbs. and Neuralgia in the head, which l en-
dured two or three months with as much patience
as possible, being under the treatment Of an excel
lent doctor, and trying many kinds of medicine
without any marked effect. At last a medical friend
advised me to try Hunts Remedy, because he at
tributed my severe suffering to the bad condition of
my kidneys, which were not performing their proper
functions, and 1 commenced taking it, and in a few
DAYS the neuralgia had departed, my headache had
entirely disappeared, the swelling in my limbs and
Joints had gone, and 1 have not had a touch Oft
since. More recently l was troubled with impurity
of the blood, which showed itself in severe e~ruptions
on my face. l again resorted to Hunts Remedy and
after taking it a short time was completely cured of
that complaint. Hunts Remedy has proved very
beneficial to me in attacks of sick headache, which it
always a~lleviates, and l notice the improvement as
soon as take the Remedy. This Remedy has
strengthening elements, for it has made me feel
much stronger, and has been very beneficial to my
general health. Imost heartily it to
all sufferers like myself. Mrs. L. g. TANNER, No. 1876
