A PITIFUL FATE!
How q Minister'S Good Deed Landed Him
In an Insane Asylum The Story
of His Escape,

in an Insane Asylum. The Story
of His Escape.
To the Editor of the Mit,oaukee Sentinel:
SR.-I have read good many stories of late
concerning the confinement of sane persons III
lunatic ssylums, and / am thereby prompted to
relate bit of personal experience.
In the year 1866, while I was serving the
METHODIST Episcopal Church In a New England
town, neighbours house took fire. In common
with others, stood on the edge of the roof,
passing buckets Of water, exposed to intense
heat on one side aud freezing winds on the
other. 1 took fearful cold. For twenty-five
years it worked havoc in my physical and men,
tai systems. Nevertheless, I continued in my
ministerial duties. l preached many sermon
when suffering intense agony. At certain
periods, however, would be comparatively
well, and then again, my head would get heavy.
my breathing labored, my appetite tickle. L
would lose interest in life; feel sleepy at mid
day, and wakeful at midnight. My heart occa-
slonslly gave me great concern. Not knowing
to the contrary, attributed this ill feeling to
malaria. But eventually mental strength faded
away, and was utterly Frustrated. was eau
terlzed. cupped, blistered, and treated by many
physicians in many different ways.
My case was puzzle as much to my physi-
clans to myself. For one of them at first
prescribed for delirium tremens, and yet / had
never tasted intoxicating liquors. Another
said had brain disease, another spinal diff
Guilty, another nervous prostration, heart dis
ease, etc.
NJ mind eventually gave way, and in 1882
WAS confined In the Battleboro, VT, Insane
Asylum for six months. When knew where L
was, demanded instant release I then made
visit to Oceanica, N. j., but had reckoned
too much Cd my strength. again lost my
reason for a considerable period.
That was in desperate condition was evil
dent. My blood had become infected with
virus. which infamed my brain occasionally
and doomed me to an early death; for no physl-
clau gave me any hope of a cure. finally
found out what my real disorder was, and I'M
dertook my own treatment In few months
was restored to such q state of health as
never expected to enjoy. That was over three
years ago, and my physical and mental health
have remained intact to this day.
Last March I came West, and engaged in
garden farming. In all that time have not
lost days work; have apparently enjoyed the
most vigorous health and l expect to live the
full term of life. The remedy I used was
warmers safe cure, and if 1 should live thou
sand gears, should never tire of telling its
praises.
You will confess with me, Mr.. Editor, that
such a change is remarkable. And you will,
also, l &m sure, agree with me, when say that
whatever created such mental and physical
restoration is deserving the highest praise.
Very truly yours,
REV. E. D. HOPKINS.

of life; So is advertising the staff of business.
Blessed are they who DO not advertise, for they
shall be rarely troubled with customers.
You can't eat enough in week TO last youa
year. and you can't advertise on that plan either.
business eau 60 without advertising; so can a
wagon 20 without grcasing, but in both cases II is
hard work.
No bells ring 50 loud as good advertisement.
People arc more apt to heed what they read thah
what they hear.
Those who take the lead in pushing their bust
ucss through the newspapers, generally take the
lead in everything else.
II YOU don't mean TO attend TO your business,
and prefer :; slender income while your neighhorS
grow rich. it won't pay 10 advertise.
.Judicious advertising is sure to bring large re,
turns. to Increase your business reputation. and
add to your acquaintance.
If You havn't business, advertise ii you nave
business. advertise. II is "a poor rule that won
work both ways" \ place well advertised IS
known TO many while one not advertised is known
only TO l few passcrs-by.
Quittin. advertising in dull times IS like pulling

wives it will rush by him who docs not stay 1t
with ready customers. The way 70 have such al
ways on hand is through advertising.

The GAZETTE will continue to furnish the
news kilograms of the New York Associated Press
and of Reuters European Agency while its
Washington correspondence will furnish the
latest and most reliable news from the capital of
the nation. The proceedings Of Congress will be
regularly reported in succinct form, but all mat
tcrs of special interest in Virginia will be given
in detail and the full text Of all bills of local in
terest will be published
The Commercial columns Of the GAZETTE vii
give the earliest and most exact commercial news
with reliable reports of the Grain, Cattle Grocery
and other Markets, and the prices and position of
the stocks which are the subjects of business
transactions in this section Of the country.
It's Richmond correspondence and special telc-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of the proceedings of the General Assem-
bly, and of oil tho operations Of the State govern.

Correspondence from every section Of the State
published continually, and all events OF interest
occurring within the bounds of the Commonwealth

The Local Department will receive special at
tention during the coming year, and pains

The GAZETTE was established in 1900 and is
now the oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the oldest in the coun-
try. It is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to he continued a paper suited for the family as
well as for the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared. It's past shall be guarantee of its future
The circulation Of tho GAZETTE is steadily in
cleasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in
need of. That this is sclf-evdent may he inferred
from the fact that large country edition--equal-
~ as large the daily--s sent out all over this
section of country three times week, and is
read b. thousands, most Of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
Of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be made salts
factorly. The advantages of advertising in tho
GAZETTE arc thus apparent and need no fu, ther
demonstrations
