"Seeiag that l WAS once cured of con

was my salvation"
In q few moments the lieutenant had
Browns story out. <nd much to tn latter's
him. It did not take Brown long to run to
his ditty box, get the bottles of medicine,
aud return to the lieutenant with them.
"I'm afearcd that the doctors will kick
ag'in the use of this blessed stuff, an what
wild you do, SIR" said Brown, he pl ICED
the medicine in the cabin orderly's hand to
be ken into the admrai's room.
Il will atten 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 st tement and
the opinion of the Medical officers OF t4ie
R,"ner."
"Thank you, sir, an God help the admiral
to weather his trouble, is the prayer Of all
the ship" said Brown, as the lieutenant
turned to enter the ca bin.
There was no cessation in the storm that
evening. The gale howled through the rig
ging in wild, discordant tones; the great
ship labored through the white capped mount
aims Of water that threatened to engulph her
with eachburs of their storm-whirped crests.
Within the admiral's cabin the Argand lights,
the comfortable furniture, and the numerous
evidences
land and water, as displayed in choice brc-a-
brsc and trimmings, gave to the room warm
snug appearance, most pleasing this wild
night to those within. In his stateroom Law
the admiral n AIDE comfortable by all that
loving hands and willing hearts could suggest.
BY his side sat his son, who in quiet voice
recounting to his father the interview with
Brown, and the opposition II ct with from the
doctors when the idea OF giving this III ed
icine was broached.
"You were slee ping 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 liquid, which they
declared should never with their consent be
given to you. Well. cut the matter short
by saving that l would take all the RESPONSE
blity and with your permission would ad-
minister it. That l obtained when | found
you ke and now you are under way with
.the first bottle as per directions. / am salts
fed, dear father, that it will do you good,
premonition filling my heart that at last we
have found the means OF arresting the burn
ing fever and h. cking cough which have been
troubling you much"
The SdmiraPs reply WAS cut short by Sc
we're spell of coughing, during which he spat
blood and when finished sank bank exhaust
ed. But the grateful look which he bestowed
on his was an additional assurance of be-
lief in tn At which the admiral had at first
dubbed as possible but doubtful means of
doing him any good. But laying aside his
dislike for any but old-estab'ished remedies
the ad sriral acquiesced in his sons request
and now, after this last spell, admitted that
the effect of the dose had softened the dread

the faces Of those aboard the flagship this
bright morning would have afforded infinite
scope for such pursuit. But the source OF
each mans happiness flowed from the same
fountain OF grateful joy. The beloved admiral
was the cause Of this. And whys If you
could have seen the admiral this bright morn

been easily found i'll his face. A changed
man was he. Victory was perched on his

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-

Wen might the admiral sing the praises Of
that which had SO unexpectedly rescued him
from a fatal illness. When the ship anchored
the first commission for the .dmira's son to
execute was a large purchase of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovers, which, as 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
corner of the globe. But now he was one
more to testify to the wonderful power of this
and sertainly did SO in Montevideo,
by praisng it up to all the high officials who
visited him.
A week later and the Nonad sailed for
Boston direct. What the condition Of the
admiral 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 faithfully
on the voyage to Boston, and landed, through
its wonderful power, the admiral completely
and more than one poor fellow who
started out in the sick bay of the Nonlnd.
What staunch friends the Golden Medical Dis
covery made in that ship! e. *s7
