At the open ing the bears raided the coal stocks and drove the list down fractionaIy. but this was subsequently more than recovered under the leadership of the higher than Saturdays closing Lackawanna, St. Paul, Western Union, Lake Shore, Northern Pacific and New York Central were the most active stocks and absorbed nearly the entire speculative interest of the morning From noon until o'clock the market was feverish and unsettled but during the next hour tllere was drive at Delaware and Hud- son under which the list went down again. There was no improvement during the last hour except in | the coal stocks, which were bid up somewhat from the lowest figures Manitoba was the feature of the day. being heavily pressed for sale and declining 4Jk psr cent to 7715 From this there was recoV- 1 cry of per cent.

 WHY 1 HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN DR. J. H. SCHENCK AND HIS MEDICINES.
 During the past two years my mother and brother have died of Consumption. was myself quite unwel most of this time, and when, shortly after their death I was attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages, naturally concluded that I was destined to go with the same disease. inn mediately consulted a physician, who made spe- cialty lung diseases After examining me, he said that he thought my lungs were sound, and that would soon recover. In less than aweek after this had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that my physician had made 8 mistake in my case, I consulted another doctor. He thought my lungs affected, and prescribed for for long time. got no better under his treatment, but generally worse. My cough was very bad, my appetite en- tirely gone; I had severe pain in my right side, and for months did not sleep more than two or three hours in night. My tongue was heavily coated and had bad taste in my mouth. had the headache almost all the time.
 Feeling that something must be done, at last concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck, the physi- elan who, think, have good reason to believe, to be the best in the treatment of lung disease. went to his office in Boston, and was examined. He found my left lung quite badly diseased, and my liver seriously affected. He told me that could be cured if would follow his directions. Of course cOnsenteQ 70 Qo 50, anu very eoOn saw that my confidence in his ability was well placed. I took the Mandrake Pills, SeaWeed Tonic and PuImonic Syrup, all at one time, as directed by him, and within one month my worst symptoms were gone. I went to see the doctor on his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the first time I saw him, and he said Only continue with the medicine and you will surely get wel.' did so, and kept on gaining in every way until ]. was perfectly we'll and able to work as usual except when have made friendly visits to the doctor at his Boston office. My cough is gone, my appetite is good, I have no headache or pain in my side; Sleep better than ever did in my life, and my lungs are apparently healed, as have no These are the reasons why believe in and re- commend Dr. J. H. Schenck and his medicines. He did just what he said he would do for me, and believe that owe my life to his medicines and care. FRED. E. TRULL.

ALBANY, N. Y. Dr. David Kennedy Rondout, N Y.:
 Dear Sir-About eight years ago I began to suffer from Liver difficulty. During the attacks E1erienced severe pain accom- panied by what not describe better than by calling it a drawing in sensation. The agony of it was almost beyond durance. None of the usual medicines employed in such cases had any effect upon me. From time to time was laid up and unable to attend to my basi ness. This covered period of a year.
 Finally MT. Lloyd, druggist of this city, suggest ed your FAVORITE REMEDY as an excellent thing for the Liver. had not taken the whole of the first bottle before found most decided relief : the pain passed away and to my delight regained the power to enjoy and digest my food without the former distress. Nature seemed to be set going again. cannot better express my appreciation Of Dr. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY than by telling you that since my personal know ledge of it's virtues have recommended it to a great many of my friends and acquaintances
 Yours truly, S. PEPSON. 222 Alexander avenue.
