A GRIEF-sTRICKEN FAMILY.
A Father Almost Driven Insane by the
Loss of His Children

LOsB OI his Cnllufou.
The newspapers are daily chronicles Of
misery and grief, and the reading public
are constantly called on to extend their
sympathy in some new direction to suf-
fering humanity. We read to-day of the
wreck of an ocean steamer and the loss
Of hundreds of passengers, tomorrow of
the plunging of a passenger train over
precipice with the same sad result.
such accidents as these naturally excite
our sympathy, but unless we know per-
sonalIy some of the unfortunates, it Is but
momentary. 1t is when we are visited In
our own homes by some sad calamity
that robsus Of those most dear to us that
our grief seems to know no bounds: we
give ourselves up to it without attempt
ing to check or subdue it's intensity. and
refuse to be comforted. Such was the
case Of Mr.. j. B. Phelps, formerly of
Baltimore, but now living at Owing's
Mills, a short distance from that city.
The details of the great grief which Mr..
Phelps was called on to bear are given by
DR.. j. Schwartze, well-known druggist
at the corner Of Druid Hill avenue and
Biddle street, Baltimore, near Mr.. Phelps'
former residence. Dir. Phelps is well
known in Baltimore, and particularly in
the locality in which he resided, where
he had many warm personal friends. He
had large and interesting family, COM
posed principally Of daughters. They
were all, however, in delicate health and
of sickly temperaments, and recently be-
came greatly emaciated and seemed to be
in the last stages of consumption.
Finally one died, then another and
another. until the fathers grief became
unbOunded. He gave free vent to it,
and it drove him, says DIR. Schwartze,
to the verge Of insanity. His remaining
children bid fair to follow their sisters.
One day the father called on DIR.
Schwartze, and with his tone and man.
ner showing little hope of success, but as
last resource, asked: "DoctOr, can you
recommend a good and reliable tonic for
my children? They are constantly COM
planning, have no appetite, and seem to
exc out a most Wretched eXistence.v DR..
SchwartZe says: EEWithout hesitation /
at once advised him to try Browns Iron
Bitters. He accepted my advice and the
result was almost marvellous. His chill
dren grew well and strong, and Mr..
Phelps will tell you to-day, as he has often
told me, that Browns Iron Bitters drove
death from his household. l cheerfully
vOuch for this statement, as l know it TO
be true.
