 Dear Sir:-I have been cured of what three CT the best physicians of this city told me was Consumption of the Lungs, by the use of your medicines. was first attacked with the disease in October, 1880, and although was from that time continually uraler the care of g physician, grew worse and worse. until at last was con- fined to my bed. I can hardly say that was first attacked with the disease in 1880, for my lungs had been weak for many years previous to this, and would quite often have severe pam in my breast, if I took the least cold or exerted myself too much in any way. grew worse, my cough became very bad; I had night-sweats so severe that my bed, through the night, would be as wet as though water had been thrown over me. I was continually raising blood and large quantities of offensive matter from my lungs, and at last had all the well-known symptoms of Consumption in it's last stages.
 At the request of my family, my physician called in two other doctors of this city and they, after animation, agreed that my case was hopeless They informed my wife that had better be told that could live my time would be very short for arranging Iuy worldly affairs They also said that no medicine would be of any to me.

As have said I commenced the of the medicine with no thought of its curing me- but after taking the eighth bottle would sometimes feel little hungry, thing I had not before done for many mopths omitted to mention that after taking four or five bottles of the PuImonic Syrup, also began taking the SeaHeed Tonic, and I also took some of the MaGoraks Pills,
 It is needless for to give you acconnt of all my feelings during my recovery Of course it was slow, but it also gradually gained strength, the character of what raised from my lungs changed not being offensve-and at last was able to get up and walk about my room.

WOMEN AS PIANO-TUNERS.

Can any reasonable objection be adyanc-
ed to the employment of women as piano
forte tuners? The present writer is totally
ignorant of music. and therefore may have
erroneous notions respecting the scientific
requirements necessary for the exercise of
the tuners art; but whatever those may
be, is it proved that women cannot attain
them? Has the experiment ever been
made /? If the tuner needs only true ear
for harmony, mechanical facility in hand
ling the implements of his craft and a
knowledge of the construction and capaci-
ties of the various instruments on which
he may be required to exercise it. there
can be no doubt that women are as well
qualified by nature as men to be pianoforte
tuners. The true ear for harmony is the
test requirement, and as many women as
men possess that. The occupation is not
fatiguing, and it is one that, like the clean
ing, repairing, and regulating of clocks
and watches, might be secured to numbers
of properly taught and qualified women,
if the ladies who are interested in extend
ing the area of employment for their own
sex would combine to commence the move
ment in favor of it. 1t cannot be too en-
phatically repeated that in all these sug-
gestions there is no thought of anything
but self-supporting industry, that it is dis
tinctly to recommend certain kinds of work
which being fairly well done by women
shall recommend themselves to that only
true and lasting valuable patron, the pub
lie, these suggestions are offered, and that
it is only the first ''push" that is needed
or asked. In former days, when ladies
used to play the harp, and would indulge
their friends by having the cumbrous but
delightful instrument carried to their
homes on festive occasions, the fair per-
formers were their own tuners. In this
case, also, the argument for pleasantness
and suitability in the employment of wo-
men that has been used in the case OF wo-
man hairdressers would apply. - Socfal

WITHOUT ARGUMENT.

He was young lawyer and was de
liverng his maiden speech Like most
young lawyers, he was florid, rhetorical,
scattering and weary. For four weary
hours he talked at the Court and the jury
until everybody felt like lynching him.
When he got through, his opponent, griz-
zled old professional arose, looked sweetly
at the Judge, and said
ssYour Honor, | will follow the example
of my young friend who has just finished,
and submit the case without argument
Then he sat down and the silence was
large and oppressive.
There is story told of an eminent
Judge, still living, though retired from the
bench, which illustrates the Importance of
voluntary confession better than the
most elaborate argument. A prisoner
tried before him for larceny had admitted
his guilt when apprehended, but at the
trial was defended with great pertinacity
by able counsel "Gentlemen,' said the
Judge to the jury ''thc prisoner says he
is guilty His counsel says he is not.
You must decide between them" Then
after pause, he added There is just
one thing to remember, gentlemen. The
prisoner was there, and counsel wasn't.
