White Fulmonc Balsam.' for 1t il the best
Lung medicine ever known, and 1t recalls to
memory the blessing 1t has proved to Lung
sufferers. 1t is positive remedy for Lung
diseases, and Is to-day the leading Lung
remedy Wilmington, Del, where it is pre-
pared. The proprietors name, DR.. ]. Simms
II Son and the name oftheir remedy, white
Pumonic Balsam,' should be written in let
ters o. gold, for few medical men devote
their time and have done SO much for their
fellew beings suffering with Lung diseases
and Throat affections. A trial will convince
the most skeptical, causing them to recon-
mend to all their friends the wonderful vir-
tues Of this great Lung medicine. The de-
mand increases as it becomes known, and
where 1t is best known the sales are the larg-
est and constantly on the increase. Such is
the standing Of this great remedy, and this
the propretors will maintain so that this
great Lung medicine for all may have the

figure. The police authorities are now
endeavoring to learn who the rollfeder-

in the matter (who is now dead), are.
Carroll was the assistant stock and bond
clerk in the financial department. The

and although possessing the organs Of
speech he has never spoken to any per-
son except his parents and school
teacher. His name is Melvin Carey,

He is not Sullen in any way, and plays
about with other children in perfect
harmony, but never says anything to
them. When he wishes to call the al
tention CT any of his playmates, he does
it by catching them by the arm and
making gestures. When he was sent
to school he adopted the same tactics
with his teacher, and refused to say a
word, but by the liberal use ola stout
rod the teacher persuaded him tospeak.
He is industrious, and when at school
seems to delight in the society of his
young companions, but is resolute in
his refusal to open his lips except when
he comes before the teacher, when he
reciteS his lessons and answers when
spoken to. There is no explanation Of
his remarkable conduct, and he is con-
sidered cOnundrun.

And to say to all inquiring friends:

For we'll know my cause is good,

ly be very generally regard
ed as the height of luxury !;
tor it is getting to be quite
common to see in the win
dows of the more ambitious
shoe stores limitations that
French shoes are to be got
within. Even our shoema-
kers are getting to submit to
the opinion for some of
them actually put French
stamps on their own shoes.
We have all heard how that
the finest Olive Oil is made
in pork-packing establish
ments, etc, ETC., until we
have come to look on foreign
labels with more or less dis
trust. After all, perhaps it
makes no great difference
where the shoes come from.
We have actually brought
over two small lots of French
shoes; and, as we suppose
there has been, in this city,
no other experience in shoes
actually broug hit fir m
France, except as travellers
have brought them over, we
don't mind telling how they
act in a store.
We certainly never saw
finer or more beautiful shoes
than these made by Henry
Herth, (Medaille dor, 1879
3 Rue Halevy, Paris. We
should be content never to
see finer or more beautiful.
But we put them by the side
of the best American work,
and nobody can tell which is
which, except by the stamps.
Whether there's any differ
ence in the wear of the two
it is impossible to tell, and
will be impossible for a long
time; tor people who buy
the very finest anything are
not very exactlng about
durability and they do not
easily complain for want of it.
Let us turn for a moment
to two American shoes that
look exactly alike, and ex-
actly like the French too,
but for a slight difference in
the cut. Both of them are
made by hand of the very
choicest feathers. One of
them is made by a team"
Of eight men, and the other
S all made by one man and
hat is the difference between
he two. You can't see any|
perhaps there
sn't any but perhaps there
S. Perhaps one chosen
workman can match the
parts of his work better than
light chosen workmen can
match one another's work.
The shoe that the eight men
make we sell for $780,
The shoe that the one man
makes we sell for $3.50
The French shoe, which we
loubt not is made by one
nan also, we sell for SI2.
Now you see the differ
nee between these three
hoes. 1t is proper to say
hat the $3.50 shoe is the
'ery best fine shoe that we
an get. 1t is proper to say
hat we believe Henry
1erth's shoe is just as good
lnough, being made three
housand miles away by a
IAN that we can't talk with,
'e can't know quite SO much
bout it. Those who value 7
he fact Of its being French a
t $3.50 will buy the French n
hoe. And that's about all
re know on the subject at s
resent.
