FOURTH EDITION
The Eclectic Praet scs.

The eclectic, or new school of medi
cine. is rapidly growing la favor will
the public, and this IL not to be won
dcred at, when it is taken into consider
atien that in this improved practice thu
poisonous minerals and many of the
fortunes of the old school OF medicine
are Standoned. This system select!
the good from al the different system.
now known, and is constantly progress
ing. Many of the diseases that hav,
been considered incurable have been en-
tirely c~red with the remedies employ
I ed by che eclectic practitioners, and
some rehlarkable cases have been treat
ed by lar. WEIGH, of No. 3l5 TStnal
street, pEaminent among these Being
the case 0f = little girl 10 years of age,
from whea he removed u tape worm, Al
feet long,in three hours.
This monster was taken away alive,
and is now preserved in liquor at the
DOCTORS Office, where it can be seen by
any one who will call. Another case
was that Of a young lady in Philadel-
phia who was afflicted with q cancer
four inches in diameter in her right
side. When the doctor was called in
to see her she weighed bur 80 pounds,
and had been given up TO die by some
Of the best physicians in that city
BY the aid of a preparation which he
manufactures from the cancer piaut, he
succeeded in short time in taking it
ont, roots and all, and though this
waS but three months ago the patient
now weighs 100 pounds and works
every day.
He also removed an ovarian tumor,
weighing four pounds, from another
lady, who had been a sufferer for years.
These operations are performed without
the use Of the knif4, and are indeed
wonderful.
The doctor has perfect drug store
in his office, and prepares many of his
own medicines. Many of the remedies
are in concentrated form, for the con.
venienCe of those who are averse to
swallowing heroic doses. Some of the
little sugar coated pellets, not as large
as a grain Of barley, contain all the
virtues Of the large and nauseous pills
used by the old school practitioners. He
has a peculiar treatment for persons
with consumption, or lung diseases, that
never fails to give relief, and in the
majority OF cases effects permanent
cure.
The doctor also prepares ozoone,
which experience has proved is the
only article that will effect u radical
cure Of catarrh. His diploma, neatly
framed, is hanging on the wall of his
office, and alongside of it is certificate
of membership in the Maryland Eclec-
tic Medical Society. Persons who are
suffering with any of the diseases to
which flesh is heir, should not delay
calling on him and they will not only
be satisfied with his treatment, but also
with his charges, which are very mode
rate.

John Taylor Murdered ny Lewis
List. Jr., lhla AflersnOOn.

About Il. 80 o'clock to-day, John Tay
lOr, son Of old Father Taylor, the
apostle of temperance, was shot by Lew
lis List, Jr., on 18th street near Pine
and so badly injured TINT it was no
thought he could live an hour.
The circumstances which led TO thu
shooting are as follows: A Mrs. Dean
who is niece OF Taylor's, lives in th'
ssme house with List at No. COG Eas
18th street, and last Monday night IL
beat her shametully.
This made her anxious to move, hui
it IL said that List would Not allow hel
to take her goods away. As last re-
sort she reported the affair 10 Taylor
and me said that he would come to-day
and see about ii.
List informed his father Of Taylor
intention and he went to the SON AJust
early &his morning and remained untiI
after the shooting.
During the morning young List was
heard Ia say that he was ready Tor Tsy.
lor at aEy time he chose to come.
About H., - o'clock Taylor came Ia
the hous;, and after some words with
List they engaged IN fight, and final
ly got out into the street with Taylor on
top. The elder List then seized club
and commsMced to beat Taylor, when
lie finding the odds were against him
let 90 of List and started TO run.
He ran toward Kirkwood street, with
Lewis List, sr., calling TO his son:
shoot him In, shoot him" Both

rr.,, u. 81.
List fired twice bat missed him.
J. list pursued hin, down the street a
short distance, whep Taylor eluded him
and came back to Eleventh st.eet.
List instead of following him jumped
the back fence at NJ. go Eleventh
street, and rushing through the house
with his revolver in his hand, reached
the front door about the same time thai
Taylor got on the pavement.
The two men looked at each other for
but moment. when List, who was
standing in the front door, fired and
Taylor fell to the pavement with the
blood streaming from a wound III his
head
AS soon as he saw his victim wing
bleeding on the ground, he started to
run, and man named Stewart who
keeps ocery store in the vicinity
tiled to catch him, when he turned and
shot at him.
He was pursued, however, and took
refuge in the yard of the vulcanized
fibre works at Tenth and Walnut
streets, where he was captured and
taken to the hall.
Taylor still remained where he had
fallen on the pavement, ashe was bleed
ing SO freely that it vas impossible to
take him in any of the ueighboring
houses. Messengers started formedicai
assistance and Drs. Wales and Keabes
soon arrived.
The bullet entered the left eye, and
after thorough examination, the doc
tors determined that it had penetrated
the brain, and that nothing could III
done for the unfortunate man in fact,
one Of the physicians expressed the
opinion that he could not live fer on,
hour.
Shortly after o'clock officers To WIS
ley and Walker procured IL wagon and
removed the dying man to his home
on Adams street near Delaware a~enue.
The pavement where the tragedy oc-
Cured was dreuchrd with blood, and as
bucket after bucket OF water was thrown
over it, it run down the gutter like the
refuse from IA slaughter house.

PHILADELPHIA.
SATURDAY.:

!, No such pains we're eve:
$ taken in gathering any stool
, OF a former season. We
t couldn't do so well, because
we didn't know how. Thi:
> last year has been one OF de-
> cided progress. Growth is
manifest in almost all our de.
partments, and this means
, that our managers and peo-
pie have grown. 1t takes a
long time to know just how
to provide for such a trade
as ours and quite as long to
select the right people to
serve the customers. While
they know what they want,
injudicious salespeople might
persuade them to take some
thing else. 1t is hard to over
come old habits Of trade,and
our plan is to provide a full
stock Of everything, so that
there is no excuse for palm
ing off substitutes, and to
educate our clerks to con-
scientiousness in serving GUS
toners with what will serve|
them best and discouraged
them from buying any other.
The encouragement to lay|
in so large a stock comes
from the large and steady in
crease of business. Through
the past year we have not
had a month that did not ex-
coed the same month of the
previous year, and this with
out any wholesale business.
We are therefore not
afraid to buy in SO large a
stock to give US the grand
assortment, since the people
come to take away from us
our goods. 1t is a wonder
to some how we ever sell so
large an amount. Why, the
fact ls,some few departments
sell their entire stock once a
month, others once in two
months; and there are one
or two months in the year
when, if we would not keep
on replenishing all the time,
the fourth of all the stock in
our salesrooms would be
closed out.
1t is not generally known
that we have on hand all the
time, in our Reserve Stocks
and in the Custom House,
about onc-third as much as
is seen in our warerooms, to
be fed in the various depart
ments to freshen the stocks
day by day.
Philadelphia deserves the
most perfect stock of dry
goods that can be gathered,
and we know the people ex-
pect to find it in our store
We shall not disappoint
them.

ASK AND WE WILL an
SWER.

A great many people
wonder why we are SO per
slstent in our appeals to
them to get good flour, and
attribute our zeal to mer.
cenary motives. They think
that it is only because we
want to sell them flour. lr
this hasty judgement they
are mistaken. 1t is true, we
make our living by selling
flour, and we are Thankful
for all the patronage we get
but at the same time i,
would afford US more pleas
ure to know that nobody is
injuriosly affected by the
flour we sell them. If PEG.
pie would consult us regard
ing the flour that would ben.
eft them most they would
have both better bread ano
better health, and they woulc
save money by it.
1t affords us the greatest
pleasure to answerany and all
questions sincerely asked us
