From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 18th, 1880.
"Vcry seldom do we read Of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had Alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
ters persons talking to their friends of n
cure, seemingly little short Of marvellous,
that had bccri performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the com.
munity:
william Lincoln Curtis 10 the name
of the young man in question. He ia now
employed at III. X. Porter s. Co.'s loco
motive works i'll Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, Of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form OF chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
ale gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his LEFT side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance TO his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to tho sem alliance of
skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his suiTerings were o
such an indiscribabie character that chose who
most loved him sometimes thought il would be
better II he was called away. At this time
physicians well known In Pittsburgh in nformc d
his parents that they could give no hopes OF
recovery.
The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PRRuNA. In two
weeks quite a change for the better, was pcr-
ceptible. In six weeks all the enhancement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits ara
strength the patient was quite az well as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
ne resumed work ns machnis at his old place,
able to perform as much labor As ever In his life
The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said Indeed can not look upon
inc cure much less than MS miracle. do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PRRuNA, and
in recommending it to all my fricnds.'"
The pastor of the church where the Young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the dcformcd
bones. the einaciated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his improved condition
Sid he, "1f he had not spoken, l would not
have known him.

Corporations Becoming Aggressive.
The public is familiar with the cry OF
anti-manopoly. An effort has been made,
and with a good deal Of success, 10 create a
prejudice against the great railway corpor.
ations. It was said that they were sclfsh h
and grasping: that they monopolize,l the
public lands and charged excessive freigl,ts
and fares, besides corrupting legislatures
and courts. This last charge is certainly
true, but, on the o,ner hand, ti,ere corpor-
a,ions claim that IN every way they have
be.n a heneit To the country. They have
brought the farmer aud manufacturer close

railroad companies and their consoliia-
lions and pools, il IL fact which cannot
be disputed that fares and freights have
been steadily reduced as years passed by,
aud for the best part of the year 1884,
grain and other necessary products have
been carried Mt an actual loss. The Grip

legislation la the hard lines has seriously
injured the working classes. 1t seems the
railways in 1888 employed 4lS957 people
and d,sbursed Sl95 350,0lS. The cutting
down of their revenues has forced them Ia
econumize. They have discharged tens oi
thousands of work-people, and reduced the
