suit of his mission. Approaching the lieu
tenant, Brown saluted, and asked for per-
mission to state his reasons for doing so.
This was readily granted, and Brown spoke
out.
"Seeing that / was once cured of con-
sumption. lieutenant, / make bold to ask
if | can tell you how, an why I've the rea-
sons for wishing you to use on your father
what was my salvation" =,
In A few moments the lieutenant had
Browns story out, and much to the latter s
qualification, granted a ready permission to
him. II did not take Brown long to run to
his ditty box, get the bottles OF medicine,
and return to the lieutenant with them.
"rm afeared that the doctors will kick
ag'in the use of this blessed stuff, an
what will you do. sir" said Brown. as he
placed the medicine in the cabin orderly's
hands to be taken into the admirals room.
~ will attend to that, Brown, and rest as
sured that your remedy will have fair trial

turned to enter the cabin.
| There was no cessation in the storm that
evening. The gale howled through the rig

his stateroom lay the admiral, made COM

| son, who in quiet voice was recOuntlng to
| his father the interview with Brown, and the
| opposition met with from the doctors when
the idea of giving this new medicine was
broached.
"You we're sleeping at the time, father,
and therefore missed a laughable scene,

intense dislike displayed by the doctors for
this new tangled stuff, this patent liquid

the matter short by saying that would take

tions. / am satisfied, dear father, that it
will do you good, d premonition filling my
heart that at last we have found the means
of arresting the burning fever and hacking
cough which have been troubling you SO
much"
The admiral's reply was cut short by n
severe spell of coughing, during which he
spat blood, and when finished sank back ex-
hausted. But the grateful look which he be-
slowed on his son was an additional assur-
ance of belief in that which the admiral had
at first sight dubbed as possible but doubt
full means of doing him any good. But lay
ing aside his dislike for any but old-estab-
lshed remedies, the admiral acquiesced i'll
his sons request, and now, after this last
spell, admitted that the effect of the dose
had softened the dreaded severity of the
racking cough. j..
Three weeks later found the Nomad max
ing the harbor of Montevideo. After severe
and prolonged weather she had rounded the
Cape and was now standing in the harbor
for the purpose of recoaling and watering.
To one given to the study of human linea-
ments the faces of those aboard the flagship
this bright morning would have afforded in
finite 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 # this. And WHY
If you could have seen the admiral this
bright morning, dear reader, your answer

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

Well might the admiral sing the praises of
that which had so Unexpectedly rescued him
from fatal illness. When the ship anchored
the first commission for the admiral's son TO
execute was a large purchase of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which, as the ad-
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 hls
Golden Medical Discovery in every nook
and corner of the globe. But now he was
one more to testify to the wonderful power
of this medicine, and certainly did SC N
Montevideo, by praising il up to all the high |
officials who visited him.
A week later and the NOmdd sailed Tor

admiral was 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 Tor

fully on the voyage TO Boston, and landed, |
through its wonderful power, the admiral

Medical Discovery made i'll that ship!
The above, reader, is an outline of the |
story, spun by the admiral to his friend when |
they met at the dinner. We will not touch |
on Other portions of his interesting recital |
of his cruise in general, our aim being 10 re-
cord his testimony for the greatest wonder
in medical science that this nineteenth cen
tury of surprising Developments has pro

fatal disease, consumption, which Is scrofula |

world-famed remedy to the public, DR.. |
