~. =. II. SehSrek.
Dear Sir-About sixteen years ago. while iiv.
ing in Canada, my health became very poor. My
disease came on gradually beginning with loss
Of appetite and afterwards great weakness, which
brought on night sweats and a dry, hacking
cough. NY chest and back were very weak, and
SO sore that u could not bear my weight against
the back Of chair. At different times ! raised
considerable blood, which my physician said came
from the Lungs. employed several doctors, but
they all told me the same thing-that my Lungs
were badly affected and the last one that had,
also said that could live but short time, and
that had better go 10 my mother home in Win.
stead, CT, as soon as ! could, that with careful
nursing might live for some time. When got
mother sent for her doctor. He pronounced me
beyond all help He. however, left me some med.
icine which, he said would relieve my worst
symptoms. After this my mother employed an
other doctor, who said that one OF my Lungs was
nearly gone. ate scarcely anything for several
months. and never expected TO get well. One
day, a friend who lives in Collinsville, CT, gave
my father one Of your pamphlets on Consumption
He brought il home and told me TO look il over
and see II any Of the cases described in il were
like mine. read the book through and found
so many cases described there that seemed as bad
as mine, that were cured, that began 10 hope
that too might recover by using the medicines
Ny father, finding that they were not kept in
Wlnstesd, sent 10 New York and got supply In
one week after began their use, my nigh,
sweats ceased and my appetite began 10 improve.
In two weeks after this was much better in
every way commenced 10 use the medicines in
March in July felt quite strong in two months
more was well, and | have had good health ever
since. believe that would not be alive to-day
but for the use Of your medicines as all the doc
tons had said my disease was Consumption, and
tha, was incurable.

feet high; when completed it will be sos
icet high, overlapping the famous cathc-

foundations were finished in 1880, and
it will DO ready for dedication, it is hoped,
by the next 4th of July. II will cost al
together 81, 100, 900. At the base il is
30 feet on each of its four sides. Above
the 50Oth foot each side of the cone is 35
feet. The lower part is of granite, with
a marble facing. The upper portion of
the cone will be entirely of white marble.
Some OF the slabs have been sent from
lorcign countries. One is from Greece
another from Turkey, and others from
China and Siam. Other stones again
are gifts from several States in the Union,
