fatal disease consumption, which is scroiuia

The reader will pardon the fort, going de
erosion, prompted by our admiration for
remedy that performs such marvellous cures,
and permit us to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the only
cloud cast upon the happiness OF the reunion
with his family was caused by the continued
illness of his eldest son, young man OF
twenty -four, whose disease, when the admiral
sailed from Montevideo, had been reported as
succumbing to the treatment of the family
doctor. But his father found it otherwise;
the unfortunate young man was suffering
severely from chronic disease of the kidneys
and bladder. Before leaving Boston the adj
miral had purchased copy of DR.. P.erce's
book, s'The Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser" He read this valuable book thor
oughly, and upon his arrival home had nssde
ND his mind as to the future treatment for
his son. The latter was sent to The famous
Invalid's Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y, conducted
by DR.. r. v. Fierce, and his competent staff
of specialists, where, under skhlful treat
ment, the sufferer soon fouad relief and a
permanent cure.
In the library Of his handsome home the
admiral placed one of the four bottles sent
him by the seaman Brown. Conspicuous In
its pretty frame and stand it attracts all eyes,
which can easily read the lines in golden let
tiers inscribed on the tablet under the stand as
follows This bottle once contained the
ammunition which secured for Admiral -
the victory in his battle off Care Horn with the
enemy consumption. His undying gratitude
is thus shown for that which this bottle
and its mates held.
