sicianS.

DR.. TObin:
Dear Sir-You win remember that
some time ago remarked to you that
1 suffered from an uneasy, painful
feeling in my right side, caused by a
congested condition of the liver,
which prevented me- from riding on
horseback and engaging in violent
exercise of any kind. You then told
me that you had suffered from a sm1-
lar affection of the liver, and had
cured yourself by using certain medi-
cinal herbs which you had discovered
and urged me to try them. l did so
and am now well. These medicinal
herbs in conjunction with salines you
have since presented to the public
under the name of "Tobin's Hepato-
zone" In doing SO YOU have con-
ferred great boon on people living
in hot, semi-tropical climate like
ours, where diseases OF the liver are
so prevalent. 1t is the daily expe-
rience of every physician to find peo-
pie running their constitutions by the
excessive use Of strong mercu-
rial purgatives. A still larger
number constantly use so-called silver
regulators" mostly composed of
aloes and other drastic purgatives,
which only tend to produce piles and
other troublesome affections of the
lower bowels. To all such sufferers
your medicine viii be an invaluable
aid in restoring them to health again,
and feel assured that it only re-
quires to be known to be appreciated,
and that people will cease destroying
their constitutions by the reckless and
dangerous abuse of mercurials now
in vogue. Hepatazone contains no
hurtful drug, and yet it is signally eff
ficient as a liver medicine. I may re-
mark just here that 1 am not violat-
ing medical ethics in truthfully giving
you my opinion OF a meuIclne which
l have used myself with benefit, the
formula of which you did not hest
tate to show to me. Above all, it af-
fords me great pleasure to know that
you have placed your medicine (com-
posed only of costly drugs within
the reach of the poorest man or wo-
man. Respectfully,
w T. MATTHEWS

The Sham and the Real.

Every good thing has its host of i'm
itators; every genuine article its coun-
terfeitS. Bad manners and wicked
habits have theirs also; but he whe
shams the bad never boasts of it.
while they who ape the virtues of the
good or simulate the genuine never
hesitate to place the counterfeit be-
fore the public in their most alluring
tones. When these people initiate
they always choose pronounced type
or popular subject to copy from; and
when they claim to be as good as so
and-So," or to sell an article equal to
'So-and-So," the public may depend
article are always the best of the
kind. Thus the sham is always prov
ing the genuine merit of the thing it
copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen
produce and popularize an article of
household use, such as the Royal Bak-
ing Powder, whose convenience, use
fulness and real merit make for itself
an immense and universal sale. A
hundred imitators arise on every hand,
and as they hold out their sham arti-
cles to the public. yelp in chorus: "Buy
this; it's just as good as Royal,
andinuch cheaperF' The Royal Bak-
ing Powder is the standard the world
over, and its imitators in their cry
that theirs is I" as good as Royal" are
all the time emphasizing this fact.
In their laborious attempts to show
by analysis and otherwise that the
Snowfall brand has as much rails
ing power "as the Royal" or that the
Resurrection" powder is as whole
some "as Royal" or that the Earth
quake" brand is "as pure as the Royal"
as well as by their contortive twist
ings of chemical certificates and la
bored efforts to obtain recognition
from the government chemists and
prominent scientists who have certi-
fed the superiority of Royal over all
others, they all admit the Royal" to
be the acme of perfection, which it is
their highest ambition to initiate. But
the difference between the real and
these limitations, which copy only its
general appearances, as wide rs that
between the paste and the true dia-
mond. The shams all pay homage to

CLOSING IRON WORKS.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 18.-Work-
men in our iron mills are filled with
gloomy forebodings and apprehensions
for the future by the announcement
that a number Of mills hadf closed
down, owing to the lack of orders and
the general unsatisfactory condition
of the iron trade. By these suspen-
sions over 5000 men are thrown out of
employment just at the beginning of
winter and fears are entertained that
if trade does not improve very soon,
others will be obliged to close down
also. The only reasons assigned for
suspension are lack of orders and pre-
vailing low prices. Oliver Bros. and
Phillips say they may resume in a few
days but cannot tell. Others say they
will not start up until trade shows
considerable improvement.
A special from Johnstown, Pa, says
